Is the new policy at Y!A that we "suffer fools gladly?"

I cannot believe the number of violations I've received in the past month. I've been visiting Y!A for years, and rarely received a violation notice, and I get plenty of best answers. But if someone is blowing smoke out of his derriere, I generally let them know it. This could be my last question, so, let me just say it's been fun!

    Sometimes I get violation notices for things I said that were quite poignant and honestly helpful. I always make sure to appeal, and almost always they are put back up. I have no problem telling someone that they are blowing smoke, as you put it. The trick is to call the question stupid, not the asker. The real problem is the rampant ignorance and slanderous filth that is allowed to remain.
