How many have unjustly had an answer /question removed by YA?
Under Gender & Womens Studies, this answer to "Do Feminists wear makeup?" was reported and removed: "Gosh, I don't think they even wear makeup, let alone fashionable clothes, judging by the femi-nazi's they've had on Fox News. Fashion sense must clash with the Kool-Aid they have to drink to believe the stuff they do. [lol] "
Is this truly offensive enough to remove it and cost me 10 points!!?
Who else has had an answer and/or question unjustly removed? What was your 'offense' answer / question that was removed?
Thanks for participating! ♥ ∞
Thanks Patricia M.! That's what I was afraid of. We're dealing with impersonal computers and not real people. ♥ ∞

Question: Was the intent of the answer to answer the question or was the intent to the answer to insult and rant? That should give you your answer.
If I reported all the rants on this Forum I would be reporting al day. Many poster have never properly answered a question and turn even the most innocuous question into a rant against feminism. If they have proper issues that is one thing, but just to waste people's time spewing their own hate is a violation, and worse still, a dreadful bore.
As for me, I have had perfectly innocent answers removed, usually for the erroneous reason that it is not an answer. That's usually the best they can do. If I get a violation, I don't even read it. It's a waste of time to argue over them.

Many times---I tried to reason this out; via email; but obviously there are no "real" people on the other end, so, it just stays as a violation. Now, if I get a violation, I just accept it. Waste of time to do anything else.

Join the club, the one day lately that I actually tried to help people I got reported like 40 times.
Smart-*** is the best answer.

Yeah, I called an illiterate person illiterate and I was done for insulting the person. never mind that I specifically said that the question was almost unreadable and was also seriously racist. Y!A police are a strange lot.

You can't call yourself a "regular" here until you've had perfectly reasonable Q & A deleted.
Last week I got 2 violation notices.

ANY remark deemed to be against feminism is subject to an immediate removal from YA. I've had several answers removed. It's obvious that YA is run by feminists. Why doesn't that surprise me?

I got my Q about why people post their pic to be rated deleted. They didn't even give me the reason why!

if you don't see the reference to Nazi's as insulting, say goodbye to many, many more points...
If folks could receive points for being insensitive, insulting, and condescending, my points alone would be in the billions by now but It doesn't work that way ~
