Election section: How many Y!A violations did you wake up to this morning?

Whats going on with all the violations? I hear people complaining a lot on this section with violation notice and today I woke up with one. Did the beef it up, or more people are just reporting because they got reported. I never got violations while in Music & MP3 section.

Also what do they say most of the time when you get violations? I always get this BS "Not a question not an answer"

    I think people who don't like your answer just report you and they have these top reporters so only two people have to report you and then you get a violation. It only happens in the Elections section.

    I got one of those recently, with the "not an answer, not a question" reason. I appealed it, as I had answered the question. My appeal was denied with another canned response of "not an answer, not a question. Please refer to Yahoo...". I was mad at first, but then figured there is really no one actually reading the reports of abuse to make a reasonable judgment, nor anyone actually reading appeals and making reasonable judgments. Maybe it's an evil computer virus?

    None today but I have had 3 in this section within the last few weeks. Two of them I could understand, but one of them was total BS.

    None, because last night, my blood pressure was high, so I stayed off-line, and even turned my TV off. I watched a movie and behaved myself.

    I was actually afraid of getting upset by one of those mindless people who refuse to look at facts, and took a break.

    There are people paid by political action groups to post pro-McCain questions and report anything that diminishes their candidate. They are using YA to promote their candidate, which is fine, but if they are being paid by a political action group and not disclosing that, then it is a crime.

    None, because I make sure I'm answering the question and not ranting or insulting.

    The thing is to remember that this is not a message board.
