Is anyone else tired of being reported and found in violation of terms and services when...?
Ok so I was once again reported and found in violation for pointing out that a question was factually wrong. I did not do it in a way to make the asker feel threatened or stupid I simply listed a violation of Saddm's UN violations and I was reported and found in violation. Is anyone else tired of people denying the truth and reporting anyone who has information disproving their "facts"? And also should Yahoo do something about those who try to surpress information opposed to their view?

Its an imperfect system created by imperfect humans....try not to sweat it too much.
I recently received two violations for "not answering the question."
The funny part is that in both cases I answered the question with the first word "yes/no" and then explained why....still had both and after appeals I was told they still did not answer the question...

When I get to my desk at 8:15 or so every morning (I OWN my business, so no lectures please) I open my E mail and see how many truths I have hit home with by how many "Violation notice E Mail"'s I receive. I actually feel insignificant if I DON'T get violated at least once a day. I have a changing IP, so I just open another e mail account and start back at level 1. It will be OK. If everyone agreed with everyone we wouldn't all be here right now would we?

The same thing happened on the AOL message boards, especially .."The war in Iraq" board..so many people hated each side they just kept tossing everyone else until the board just said enough and shut down..
People were sending fake tos letters to other posters saying they were tosed...
If yahoo does not take control and review their own answers and or questions, the same will happen here..

OMG yes!
I got two today. One was somewhat warranted but the other was totally off the wall and after re-reading it, I saw NO violations of TOS but yet lame Yahoo still takes the side of the liberal Yahoo trolls.

I just don't even bother anymore. On the chance I may lose my account I just went and made 5 spares to jump to. Sure this place is infantile to the extreme but it also can be fun sometimes.

i left a note with yahoo that they shouldn't let someones opinion rule who get kicked off and who doesn't. i get violations all the time. I'd be surprised if i didn't get one today.

Yeah, don't sweat it too much. It happens to most people who try to explain themselves in ways other people don't like or understand.

I am so tired of being reported because someone doesn't like my answer!

Please.... don't waste your time trying to use logic to figure out the depressed leftists who run Yahoo Answers.
