who here thinks that yahoo answers?

Is getting ridiculous with their Violation notices

Sent without even reading the question, to see

If there is a true violation,

and they go by one persons comment, then delete the question.

Without checking to see if it’s true.

Has this happen to anyone else using yahoo answers?

    YEP!!!

    I suggested some woman go see her doctor & was reported for it.....

    I could MAYBE understand it if I had said something about her being so stupid as to come one here for an answer instead of going to a doctor like a person with a half a brain would....

    But I just suggested she go to the doctor & I was reported for insulting another participant of something equally as dumb....

    Considering MOST of the ridiculous questions asked on here, the askers HAVE GOT TO EXPECT HONEST ANSWERS from people, but then they get mad.......

    I agree with you. I got my first Violation today. My answer was deleted. And i answered a similar question some time ago pretty much close to the same answer as i gave today. And that was was not deleted. But the one today was. They should get their priorities straight.

    Take care.

    You won't believe this, but I got a violation for putting a message on "answers" under military - to thank all of the war veterans for their personal sacrifice in keeping us protected and safe during times of war. I posted it on VETERAN'S DAY as a special THANK YOU TO ALL MILITARY VETERANS and it was a VIOLATION!! How stupid are the yahoo people?

    No, this has not happened to me, but I presume it has happened to you -- what was the reason you received a violation notice?

    Also, you probably put this question in the wrong category (there is a section about Yahoo Answers itself), which itself may be a violation -- no pun intended.

    It has not happened to me but I've read several questions just like yours. It must be happening quite often. Sorry if it has happened to you without reason.

    yes, yes, its getting even worse. They've really gotten carried away with the violation notices.

    yeah happend a couple of times and the ?'s didnt violate a thing, and i do like the idea of the report abuse but ppl are abusing the "report abuse" button

    yea, except to my answers. ITS SO ANNOYING!!!

    CMON people stop reporting.

    She (lady who answered before me) got reported for asking the same question!?

    Thats stupid. She probably asked again, because she didn't get the answer she was looking for or that no one answered!!

    yes i always dispute the violation and explain why i feel it should not be a violation

    obviously it happened to me (of course unknowing to me) and all i asked was about an interpretation of a Confucius saying.

    Source(s): some people are SO TOUCHY
