LDS. Is anybody else having trouble with their Yahoo Answers email?
I tagged as LDS cuz they are people I deal with most often.I am either NOT getting my email or it is being drastically delayed. When I post a question the responses dont start coming in for quite awhile and then they come in all at once. I got a quick notice about a violation while checking question responses yesterday. I checked and the question has been removed, but I STILL have not gotten a formal notification in my email. I also JUST discovered that some of my mail from Yahoo "Answers" people, being sent to my REGULAR email, has been going into my SPAM folder!!! I have no idea what has been lost.Among other things, there was a lengthy letter from one of the "DUCK" clan, sent back on the16th. I marked it along with the rest to be sent back to my INBOX and hit SEND intending to read and respond from there. DUMB MOVE on my part, as they are now hung up getting INTO my email and I cant read them at all!! GRRRRR. I SHOULD have read first and moved them second!! CRAP!! Hopefully they will show up later!! Anybody else having this kind of trouble?
"welcome to the secret and hidden ...."
I REALLY do NOT want to believe what you are saying is true as I have quite a few Mormon friends who are active and valued contributors to my Mormon research project. I WILL say that the research has shown things happening at higher evels that the average member knows NOTHING about, so there MIGHT be some truth in it. I dont know how to get around very well in the forum or other places besides answers. Can anybody provide some urls showing that the Mormons are being asked to watch, or interact on the behalf of the church, via the internet.? What are some other credible reference sources supporting what this rsponder has said and how can I find them? Anybody?
{{"EDIT: Wow 'hanging in there.' I can't believe you would even consider believing that there are Mormon internet spies....."}} I have been debating on responding to this privatly, but decided against it. I dont LIKE thinking it, but put yourself in MY shoes and see what you might think. I recently posted a question about the church and its members wearing or not wearing crosses. I was looking at my question responses and got a quick notice of a VN which pops up on right hand of screen. I went back to my inbox and found no formal notice. I then checked my list of questions and it showed the cross question as having been deleted. They also deducted the points. This was 4 days ago and I STILL have not received a formal notification, which means I can not file an appeal. If I am getting VNs without proper notification it is happening through YAs site/staff and could result in having this acct shut down unfairly and with no warning.
I have to be very careful how I post my questions and any responses to people who answer because there are a certain few people who will report things they dont like or dont want members to know. I can give you examples of this but just trust me for the moment, K? Due to having to be THAT careful I know there were NO VNs in the cross question. I posted a question concerning things people would like to change about the church if they could. It was up for 2 days, had 35 answers and 12 stars. It was deleted for not being a question or an answer. OK it was DEFINITLY a properly formatted QUESTION so I filed an appeal. The appeal was denied in less than 24 hours and did not come with standard option to file a second one. That by itself is strange, but not unheard of. Then it gets even better!!
Because I was not offered an opportunity for my second appeal, I decided to Google and pull up the "cached" copy of the deleted question and send it along with an appeal filed with a standard form available elsewhere on the site. Strangest thing. The question had been up for 2 days, yet even the CACHED copy has totally vanished and that can only be done from Yahoo head quarters. Now you tell me....wouldn't YOU wonder if there was something strange happening in high places??
I dont think the Mormon church OR Yahoo answers knows or cares about this project. I do not believe there is a spy ring watching it either. What I DO believe, is that an individual YA's employee, for PERSONAL reasons, is going the needed EXTRA MILE to get rid of certain content simply because THEY CAN. There is another reason deleted contentmay not have a cached copy made, but it doesn't apply to this paticular question. I cant explain it now cuz there is a storm comming in FAST and I need to shut the puter down. Laterzzz

No, I haven't had any trouble with my email, but there are other LDS who have (see below).
And I have to laugh at the posters above me that somehow think the Mormons are responsible for your email troubles...LOL!
EDIT: Wow 'hanging in there.' I can't believe you would even consider believing that there are Mormon internet spies. The people above me are spouting total nonsense. The Mormons have no control over your email...lol.
Source(s): EDIT: No "hanging in there" I would not suspect the Mormon church at all. It has no control over Yahoo. I have had questions deleted too. I have tried to find cached versions of those deleted questions and have been unable to do so. I have tried to appeal my violations and have ALWAYS been denied. It has nothing to do with the Mormons. It has everything to do with how Yahoo! Answers is designed and run. What you describe about your violations and troubles with Yahoo! Answers has happened to EVERYONE. I'm sorry, but the notion that the Mormons are messing with people's email is totally ridiculous. I guarantee you "hanging in there", the Mormon church has nothing to do with your email troubles. In fact, I used to get emails when one of my contacts asked a question...but just recently I noticed that I don't get those emails anymore. It seems like Yahoo! Answers has changed something...or there is a glitch. - Anonymous1 decade ago
I have had questions removed and received no violation notices. Also I was rather surprised when I got home after camping for the better part of the week and there was nothing from YA in my inbox. Maybe it all went to sent to my spam folder- there were like 400 emails in there, I did not even check, I just deleted it all. that maybe where all the YA stuff is. I have had contacts ask questions this morning and no email about them.
I did get emails for messages from YA and for a best Answer- but none from my contacts questions.
There must just be a glich in the system.
That or the Mormon spies got to me too LOL

Sometimes my comments disappear and I don;t get a violation notice for it, and I can;t answer the question again either, its like my answer never existed, one time I was able to put my opinion back in, but it only happened once, I ahve high speed internet and sometimes the answers will take a while to post, as if someone is screening them before they can post, but the internet is probably slow because of so many people on yahoo.

You know what I'm learning from all those who say they know God and all, they seem to be getting further and further away from anyone who asks more than what they can answer. I just got off a site where I accidently interfered between two discussing the Second Coming. I introduced myself and stated a couple truths, which are not quite in line with mens thinkings of the rapture, or the Second Coming, and one sent me an e-mail accusing me of being the devil and all who associate with me are like the minions of the devil
Well, I answered him back nicely and apologized for interfereing with their discussion, but told him I feel lucky to be put in the same class as Jesus Christ for he was accused of the same things.
I had written an LDS Mentor and he wrote me back challenging me to talk to a true Christian strong in the faith. So I wrote him back and told him how much I loved God and all, and he hasn't written me back. I don't know what's happening within the Mormon church, but I do know this, God doesn't have anything to do with it. Man does. Maybe they are being told not to answer anymore questions from the outside. You and I are from the outside. Though I was in the Mormon Church, I'm what they call a Jack Mormon, and there are many of them.
Well I know I didn't answer your question, but it was nice talking to you again.
Have a nice day. God bless you, keep doing what your doing.

I complained about this a week or two ago. I checked to see if my settings had been changed (they had not) I have not received any email notice of questions from my contacts for a week or two. They are still in my profile and I am almost starting to prefer it this way.

welcome to the secret and hidden world of Mormonism....They will stop at NOTHING to spy on you and sabotage your Q & A and email. If you think for one second that you are not being monitered by the higher ups in Salt Lake City, then you are sadly mistaken!!!!! They have a whole crew in the LDS administration that works 24/7 to further the cause of Mormonism and quash anything that makes them look bad. LDS is loosing the battle with the internet....Latest numbers are... between 100-200 members per day requesting to have their names removed.The truth is out and more and more people are learning the truth about Mormonism and the church is freaking out. Just go to LDS.ORG and notice ALL the recent apologetics and info. for the members to "get involved" in the internet discussion. This however, will be the start or continuence of their downfall as most members don't understand or know the secrets of mormonism and it will force them to seek out the truth in defense of mormonism but it will also open their eyes to the lies within and they too will leave the Mormon church.
****HERE YOU GO...
