violations.....how many violations?

before you get slung off...then when you do how do people get back on again sometimes within the day....i've had violations for probably saying things which may have been unfair...but were non the less only my opinion. i didn't swear at anyone...just didn't always agree..but i did base my answers and opinions on facts with which i had first hand knowledge.... but just how do these people get back on....some of the liveliest and most interesting have been removed lately.

Update:

now now hindu pride. the only ugly thing here is your attitude......give us a biiiiig hug !!! xxxxxxx

    LOU LOU who would want to violate you, what is the world coming to. The likes of me, coshworthnut and floppy must have had over 2,000 violations each (some deserving I grant you, but certainly not all of them). The good thing is you can just sign up to a new account in five minutes on the home page and your back in the saddle. I give my opinion to everything, obviously not every one will agree with it, but some are little shallow pilchards who just report you. Anyway hope you haven't been bullying poor Pak Slag.

    Most of the time, I don't deserve my violations. I got a violation from a question I asked a few months ago for chatting, and it was a question on if the Cowboys would beat the Giants in the Playoffs. I even once got 10-15 violations in 1 day, and I thought I would lose this account. Trolls report things for no reason what so ever. They thinks it's fun but for everyone else, it's a total hell.

    In a previous incarnation , I had 11 violation notices in one day. It was some yank reporting all my answers. Two can play at that though , and I did. The best way to stop people tracking you is to hide your profile and history. As to how to get back on when you get deleted, although they call it suspension, (it's not, it's permanent), is to open another account and keep it just for answers. If you put all your eggs in one basket it can be awkward when they close down your account as you lose all your photos and mail addresses, and anything else you have.Yahoo don't care about their customers.

    I had this question reported and removed even though 30+ answers had been given.."Who else thinks that noisy kids are a nuisance in restaurants and on planes?"

    I can't see anything wrong with it but some sad sod did.

    After being suspended they just start another account under a different name...remember that prat who used to answer every question with a picture of a middle finger gesture and a "fu*k you"..he was suspended and came back twice.

    Depends on what they are for.

    Small things and you will get away with a few, racism, porn etc and you can lose the account for one violation (and some people, like the poster above me, deserve to be deleted very quickly indeed)

    I asked if anyone wanted something for lunch and got a violation. Its not about obscene, its about people pushing the abuse complaint button and Yahoo sending an automated complaint. Its hard to be honest around here and not make enemies.

    I had one for answering a question about what swear words you get passed the Yahoo! censor. I also got the best answer but I am not sure if the question gets taken off if you get the points.

  • It is an art form to be able to ask and answer with one account while creating another account as the violation notices are rolling in....

    I get violations non stop for putting the words 'hahaha" as an answer. I do that to idiotic racist questions that dont deserve a real answer and I get a violation! so rediculous.

    I'm always getting them for no apparent reason. And I'm lovely. Apart from the way I look smell and sound.
