Absolutely. People can bash whitey all they want without fear of repercussion. However, if some whitey makes a comment that is not completely PC they get their account banned.
*EDIT see what I mean? I speak the truth and get thumbs down, prolly got reported too.
I once answered a question in football section about who is your favorite team. I put the saints and got reported and a violation notice. This reporting system is a joke.

Yes, most of the time, Yahoo penalize people if they are defending themselves, especially against racist people. Its Unfair!!

i think of human beings would desire to in basic terms be allowed to have a definite kind of questions open at one time. as quickly as their minimize is reached, they could no longer ask yet another question until they picked appropriate solutions or voted on their questions. i think of people who %. appropriate solutions to questions would desire to get extra factors back than the human beings who permit their question pass to vote casting. Or, if the question is going to vote casting, it expenses one extra 2 or 3 or 5 factors. at the instant, they the two get 3 factors back while a query is resolved. It makes you experience like human beings do basically no longer even care what the respond is while questions pass into vote casting all of the time. If there is not any appropriate solutions to the question, the asker can basically delete it earlier the answering era is up. while questions pass to vote casting, a good number of the time the appropriate answer does not get picked. some human beings vote for comedian tale solutions or the worst answer. some human beings get their acquaintances/contacts/followers to vote for his or her answer, no remember how good or undesirable that's.

They are very bias, if some one reports you because they don't like your answer they do not investigate they just penalize, some people deserve the answer they get. I called some one a jackass and got a violation notice, the guy was a jackass for his stupid question.

Yes. For example, Yahoo violates people for responding to racist questions, even if they only respond by saying "grow up", "you're racist", "such stupidity", etc... Sometimes the questions get deleted, but sometimes they don't.
