    I get them all the time and I only sometimes agree with them but the ones I don’t agree with I send them a letter back with the url and a copy of the page to prove that my answer was the truth, and the are not blog sites, off the wall sites or bullshit sites, they are real sites. They send me back a form letter that I have violated the terms of the site, and I can appeal and I do and either get no response or they say I still violated the terms. So all they do is form letter you to death and the outcome is always the same even when you can prove your case.

    What it boils down too is if someone just does not like your answer they just report it and yahoo takes off I think they need to bring back the discuss button and rename this site Yahoo Crybabies and make the logo a big pacifier with a big Y on it.

    1) A couple of days ago.

    2) Violation Reason:Not a Question or Answer

    Question: How do I join the US Communist Party?

    Deleted Answer: Just join the Democrat party. It is pretty much communist. It is a known fact that Clinton's love communism. Bill Clinton was a good friend of China's communist dictator, Jiang Zemin (Zhang Zemin). From a secret wiretap about China's illegal campaign contributions to Democrats. China's agent: "Yes. Chairman Jiang agreed to handle it like this; the president [Clinton] over here also agreed" http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/...

    3) No.

    4) No

    1) Coupla months ago

    2) Somebody reported my question as not being a question.

    3) No. I emailed them, asking them to note the question mark at the end of the sentence.

    4) Yes.

    5) I got a form email back. I think that's an automatic, like they won't even look at your first email. I emailed again asking if they wanted a forum where users could use the violation process to censor if they didn't like the question (it was about religion or something). They eventually reinstated my question. Supposedly, if you report and it's false, you lose points, but I have no evidence that that is or is not the case.

    A couple last week. I use the appeals to let Yahoo know what a bunch of g*dd*mn liberal f*cking @ssholes they are. I miss the old system, postings were at least about they story posted on YA, not the same stupid, repetitive impeach Bush bullsh!t. No points involved, points are the most retarded thing they came up with. Who gives a rats @ss, all they really do is help identify those losers with no job/girlfriend/boyfriend/life.

    My last violation notice was about 1 week ago and it was for a very stupid reason. I can't remeber what it was about but I wrote back to Yahoo and of course they never give me the points back. I think it should take 3 people to report an answer or a question to have it removed.

    1. About 3 weeks ago

    2. Someone used the term "fascist liberal" and I explained what a fascist was

    3. No, I didn't agree with it

    4. No, I didn't appeal it. I've appealed violations before and never heard a word back

    1) A couple months ago

    2) Question : "What are your views on Iran?", no details

    3) No

    4) No, well, I did send an e-mail to Yahoo. The reply said for me to go do something. I didn't bother to push it.

    5) I didn't really mind. I got quite a few answers and read them all, and it was a rather old question. I was getting ready to put it up to vote, so it wasn't as if I was missing out.

    I got a violation two day ago. I answered some guys question that was asking "where can i find a really cute tote bag" with "good luck with the whole gay thing." I guess I deserved it, so I did not appeal. Do I regret it, no.
