Secret Punishments?
Recently I called Y!A on their bogus 'error' messages when you try to report certain users who have an exemption from being reported. I got their usual bullcrap stonewalling message, 'playing stupid' and claiming it must be some mysterious problem with my internet connection. (I know it's nonsense because it ONLY occurs on the report page and ONLY with certain posters. And I checked the connection.)
Now, by some 'coincidence,' any time I try to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down I get 'Sorry, can't save your rating.' I think this is bogus too because it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME, and there are NO other problems with input/output. Again, I've checked the connection and made multiple scans for viruses, malware etc.
So, does anyone know if Y!A issue secret punishments like this for those who have the bad manners to call them on their lies?

I call this place YaHELL because, yes, I'm on their "enemies" list too and often cannot give "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" because of some bogus glitch. "Sorry, we can't save your rating" has played so often on my screen that I think it's permanently burned on there.
Ah, I could go on and on but I do think that people who have the audacity to state the truth get punished.
