I recently answered Siddarthur's Thibideaux joke/question and got a V for it. I made a funny about loving Thibideaux and was surprised that a certain answerer thought this was a UK joke and did not understand it. They V'd me because it was "neither a question nor an answer" - - - - am ready to leave this site and find a logical outlet to my frustrations! Yahoo is obviously a site that runs on computers and No Humans are Involved unless a "certain answerer" reports the answer because they are unhappy with their little lives! CJ

I would say your answer was reported, some people who don't understand a question report it. So don't leave this site because of a dunderheid that is an old Scottish word. Cheers.
I agree, it happens to many of us. I don't have what it takes to muster up much anger over it. I won't give in to the frustration I feel. If they V me, they do. I don't set out intentionally to get V'd, either, but it happens. What bothers me more about it than anything is the time that people here take to put thought into an answer, and really try to help, then have it all taken away for their effort. That is what bugs me.
This happens to most of us and in most categories. There will always be small minded people who get a kick out of reporting because they do not like the answer or they just like the sense of power it gives them. Do not take it personally, it is annoying and frustrating but at the end of the day it is not "personal", they do not know you. Appeal your VN, if it was unjustified it will be overturned, YA is aware that a certain amount of reporting is victimization, but if you do not appeal those who do it will simply get away with it. Responsible reporters are valued by YA, those who are not need to be highlighted and this is done via appeals. Good luck.x
You know I agree with you. Why can't they just allow the seniors to chat IF IT MAKES THEM HAPPY-------WHO ARE THEY HURTING ? iF IT GIVES US PLEASURE THEN i CAN'T SEE WHY WE HAVE TO GET A V It is really dumb. If you find a place other than here I hope you will post it. Will You? Is this a question or am I suppose to be answering? I think it's the young kids just wanting to bug us and ruin a good thing. On the younger site too many people report EVERYTHING so I guess they feel they have to do it to us. It's really just JEALOUSY.
I think some people in seniors would be shocked to learn who some of the two faced rats are in here. Just because they know how to talk so you like them, doesn't mean they are what you think. Some of those honey tongued, best liked people are the ones who turn on everybody. I can't blame you for feeling the way you do CJ but you are a good one so please don't leave us.
