Why was your question, answer, or comment deleted?

Content on Yahoo!7 Answers may be deleted for several reasons:

One being:

The community determines that your content is in violation of the Yahoo!7 Answers Community Guidelines or the Yahoo!7 Terms of Service.

There was a lot of talk about Yahoo police reporting a lot of simple and fun type questions and answers. With a lot of speculation on who the culprits are.

I would like to put forward a point of view for consideration. To all those who have lost a question or answer under dubious pretence of a violation.

There are questions here that are OBVIOUS violations aimed at me yet the 'pulis' do not report them. Why would this be? An obvious answer would have to be that the 'pulis' are part of the same group that I have accused of cheating.

Forget the politics and friendship for a moment and just consider the viability and possibility that 'they' are the pulis.

The three questions below all fall into the following violations yet have been spared I wonder why.

Being mean or obscene

Violating the law

Chatting or otherwise violating the question-and-answer format.

Venting, ranting or using hate speech

Update:

edit

FILA*USA and FRAN*ULET surely between the three (nearly forgot ROD*LETT) of you you could come up with better and more creative stories than what you present attempts have been.

Update 2:

EDIT

BG I am not trying to insinuate that R*d, Fil*m and Fra* are one and the same. I apologise if that is the way it came across. I have it on good account that R*D using her W*LL Tagatay/Makati troll got in touch with Fil*musa to return to YAP and harass me. She even told Ga*y that Fil*musa would soon be returning.

Update 3:

edit

LUO* I am the real one. It was the unfair attacks on the person you mention that made me take the stance that I have. These attacks on my character and my lovely wife are low but are only words. That show the true lack of character from the attackers.

Update 4:

edit

I won't be the least surprised if my question is deleted and the others remain.

I want to take this opportunity to tell you guys that I have no beef with any of you and that I still hold most of you in the highest respect. I know I am attacking your good friends and it is for that reason I understand your stance also. All I ask is that you truely consider why do some innocent Q/A's get deleted while certain obnoxious ones remain. What purpose would it serve and who would benefit the most.

Update 5:

edit

Sm*le don't feel shy the majority of Yappers are good people except for the odd looney tooney, Just jump in and have your say.

Update 6:

EDIT

Sorry W*LL I really do not understand the reasoning for your TD's. I really want to thank you for showing the email. At least it prepared me in what to expect. Thanks again.

edit

To all the others here thanks. I have no intention of quitting nor am I overly affected by the attack. I am not 'crying' because I am on the receiving end. I am trying to point those that don't know to who the pulis probably are. The same people that they consider friends are probably reporting them too.

Update 7:

EDIT

No JB, I believe they are wholey women

    If you're the real Papa Chuck, I feel for you. So far, any attacks on me have been only peripheral.There's really not much you can do except complain over and over. If that doesn't work, report and block those that you know FOR SURE are the trouble makers. One of our friends has left YAP just because he was attacked' and Yahoo is losing a number of serious members for the same reason. Please don't give up - things may get better.

    The first time I discovered Y!Answers I didnt know about that Philippines is only one of the so many categories and I have been around for sometime and I really enjoyed YAP those days. I am not actively participating though. I go around to just check out. To learn. I don't give an answer even though I have a good idea about the topic. The YAPpers seem to be so close at each other that I am shy to but in into your conversations.

    Don't let them feel you down Papa Chuck. Remember they can't put a good Yapper down.

    The police and cronies are very selective in reporting violations. Maybe, one of the reasons, is the Q's came from the same group.

    Anyway, you have a better idea now whom to trust and respect. They will keep on hitting without using their main account. Cowards. (some only) Like what's happening in YM and emails before. Looks like nothing has changed.

    Lastly, maybe you must use more often your instinct to identify the culprits. You will seldom be wrong.

    No matter whether the user was intentionally lying about his age or whether it was a typo, Yahoo doesn't condone calling another user names. If you have reason to believe that somebody lies about his age to gain personal favours or that he was trolling around to enrage as many users as possible, you should report him and describe your suspicions in a few words. About the reports of rude answers: it may take more than one user until a rude answer gets deleted. If however you are a trusted reporter, one report may be enough. Yahoo doesn't reveal what exactly determines a trusted reporter, but based on my observations it must be somebody who reports violations accurately without them getting overturned. Yes, I report offensive and rude answers and when I come across a spambot, I check their profile and report every single question and answer because I hate spamming and scamming on YA pages.

    My last question was deleted because it probably touched a chord in the Intellectual Property scheme of things. The question deleted goes like "Why is 'For the First Time' " be so misinterpreted? The object of the question was a 1.2GB video Tagalog film, and how its title could be so misinterpreted. Like how, when added to a question, answerers may think the asker was a neophyte and doing things for the first time. Or when used in the context of appearance in a list of filenames, it could lead to further confusion, especially when there are duplicates. Like, "Is this for the first time"? No, that is not for the first time. It is for the first time, but defective. The second for the first time it is, which is the eight file from the list. So, it's the eight time??

    But Y/A gave me the ultimate misinterpretation, cuz they went and deleted it. Thanks,anyway.

    Only the first link works, Captain. For me, anyway. The two others, I think the asker has Aref blocked and I can't view it. The first link looks like a devious attack on your person, masquerading as a maltreated Filipina wife.

    With all due respect Papa Chuck, I believe that Filamusa and Franjulet are not Rodelette's for the simple reason Filamusa is a Y!A user months before Rodelette has even discovered Yahoo Answers. I do not have any assumptions on who it is although I do wish for the day when it will be accurately identified who the real Filamusa is. I am answering only on this particular reference of this Filamusa Asker to be Rod.

    As to why some questions are not being deleted and reported, only the ones who are laughing know the answer. I can conjure a lot of theories but as I said I will never have actual proof until unless Yahoo is able to identify who is who.

    I reported these questions the other day, PC because they are obvious violations to Yahoo's guidelines. In my reasons, I even said "Adult Content."

    Also, when I answered the 2nd Q in the link that you provided, I did not bother to check the asker. It only came to my attention that it was your clone when I posted my answer. Sorry you're being targeted and unfairly at that.

    I agree with Battgirl above.

    As for other Qs that get deleted for the simplest of reasons, only the "pulis" knows. We don't even know who these "pulis" are and naming names without proof is unfair and will only fan the flames of discord that's currently ravaging YAP.

    Edit:

    PC, I hear you. And I know where you are coming from. It is indeed frustrating to see Qs getting deleted for the silliest of reasons. I too am a victim of this (the reason was chatting). What more, it leaves a bitter taste to the mouth to actually have such offensive and damaging-to-a-user's-personality Qs remain here in YA.

  • 1 decade ago

    Sorry, PC, I can't access the links you provided so I cannot say what they contain. Two of my Y!AM questions were reported as chatting. One here in Y!AP. I don't know who the "pulis" is and like the rest, would very much want to uncover the identity/ties of this obnoxious reporter/s. And I agree, there are more vile questions/answers that go unreported. It is either the "pulis" was sleeping on the job or permitted it.

    Edit: careful, careful. the YNP is making the rounds. or, is it they by the number of TDS for each answerer. cannot be done by just one individual. so, it is apparent the YNP is more than one.

    I am not a member of any group nor siding on any, but the contents of those are purely insulting that could only be made by someone that is foolishly insane.

    I am so sorry that those questions were posted just to send a point about the issue in YAP. But whatever that point is...it sure is pointless.

    Source(s): Got a lot of questions deleted here. Mainly because of chatting. Well, it seems that the "Pulis" dont agree with me when I try to initiate a 'camaraderie builder' in this community. Too much interaction, too much stars received, too much TUs/TDs...always equivalent to Violation.

    If someone wants to delete you they just make four accounts and goes after you. It probably isn't a group.

    The more you fluster the happier they get.

    You can do the same but where does it end up.

    Just ignore the fools and accept no question or answer is safe . Just as no account is safe.

    They are easy to replace though.
