Favorite Answer

1)When was the last time you recieved a violation notice? - last Saturday

2) What was the violation for ( such as what was the question or answer was in violation)? - the question was "Why are Christians so different?', in details it was about how some of them use the Bible to justify hate and bigotry, and others use it to promote love. How can ONE books be interpreted that differently?", the reason - Community Guidelines violation

3) Did you agree with the VN? - NO

4) Did you appeal it? - of course!

5)What was the outcome of the appeal and were you satisfied with the outcome? - still haven't got a reply :((

last week for asking for prayers--it was a question. I blocked the only person who said that they thought it was a violation and had other users assure me that it was not.

I read over the part about solicitation which was clearly framed to rule out people who are selling something and appealed and was denied. I pointed out that i had not profit motive.

Just FYI I would never have reported anyone for asking a question about Darwinism or athieism, or any other group. I have given best answer to a wiccan on one of my questions and a Muslim, becuase they clearly had the best answer.

I support the right of anyone here to ask a respectful question from thier point of view.

I am saddened to read what others here have been reported for it seems mean spirited. I thought with the new warnings about reporting too much or frivolously people could get in trouble and it would stop some of this. But apparently not.

Hi,

1) I got 4 notices out of 2700 questions and had my account deleted.

2) I was speaking in all four cases metaphorically or sarcastically. Whoever read my answers had a poor command of English. For example if a Nazi comes on and says, didn't Hitler do great things for the world and Germany I might say oh yeh, right, he did so much for good will racial and cultural relations throughout Europe. Someone might complain I am praising his crimes. I might say a certain persecuted religious group is no longer docile like sheep and are tougher than guard dogs when threatened. That got reported when it was a metaphorical praise.

3) No, not at all. The figures of speech were not even that obtuse and should hve been interpreted quite correctly.

4) Yes.

5) Well utlimately I sunk myself. I found that everyone was talking to a scripted telemarketing type of format answer. After seeing the futile attempts of appeal, many quite reasonable, I merely pointed out that at least the Spanish Inquistion that people howl about so much in RS and history at least gave you a hearing and let you have your say and their rate of acquitals were higher than here. That got one moderators attention and that was it.

Cheers,

Michael K

two days ago
not a question or answer (but it was)
No, i did not agree
Yes, i appealed it
Received a email yesterday for a violation last week for same circumstances. It really didn't say yes or no, just went over what a violation is and acknowledged my appeal. There system is not so good and not so clear, I think they pick and choose alot

1) The last time was for my response to this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al9y4n0HSHG2.fzfUCoAK2jty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080124100607AAypXqa&show=7#profile-info-iE5BuaTqaa

2) The questioner asked for Jihadist sites, I gave some examples of Islamic propaganda aimed at children that encouraged Jihad and suicide attacks (from youtube)

3) I did not agree

4) Yes I did

5) The answer was reinstated.


However, this is my third account b/c my first two have been suspended, I have appealed and my appeals were not heard. On my first account I was on level 6 after 2 years of contributing when I was suspended. I asked for the reason for my suspension and I was given none. I was just told my appeal was rejected.
