I've got a real major problem with some Yahoo Moderators...?

OK...probably some of you have experienced this already. You ask a question, which may be in violation of some set guidelines and terms of use set aside for LAWS on Yahoo...and then you get screwed by the moderator and they remove your question.

But when everyone starts asking questions about growing, smoking, eating, shoving it up your butt (eat that moderator) marijuana (WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN MOST COUNTRIES), they don't get blocked or removed.

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?????

Are these Moderators we have on Yahoo! Answers trolls themselves? Or don't they do their job in the first place by watching for content which may have negative effects on young kids who get on this site as well?

I ask for all of you to check on my status for a while (as in make sure my profile still exists). Just in case the Moderators would wish to block me from Yahoo! Answers for talking back about them (bring it on).

What do you guys think?

Update:

I do use marijuana, but I am trying to make a valid point people.

    That's so wierd. I've been unable to access certain political questions, but I've asked about marijuana myself with no problems.

    I even had a response from a user that was extremely racist and sexually abusive, reported it as abuse and I haven't heard back if anything was done. I just blocked that person from my profile. I wonder if the comment was even removed from your guys' view, since when reporting the abuse the comment is removed from my view, but I wonder if it was removed from all. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApzX2...

    Alex, I read all the questions you posted, so I think those you asked that were questionable must have been removed. I didn't have the chance to go through your answers, but I know the answers you provided to me were very valuable and Y!A should consider themselves lucky to have such a knowledgeable user as you on here.

    But, not only one country accesses Yahoo! Answers. Marijuana is not illegal everywhere. Therefore, some of the people asking about marijuana might be asking about perfectly legal activity. The questions about marijuana should not be removed by default.

    I have been totally baffled by all the questions about weed.

    My understanding is that questions or answers get removed immediately if someone hits the report abuse button. The moderators settle the appeal and dispute (i could be wrong) so my guess is that we should just hit the report abuse button for all the weed questions?

    You do have a good point about what gets to stay and what goes. I really wish they would delete more of those kinds of questions. There are some young kids on here and they don't need to be subjected to things that are illegal, rude or offensive, or to anyone for a matter of fact.

    I know I just got a comment removed for the truth tell me that isn't messed up. I told the truth about what happens in an abortion and they flagged me. I work for A doctor i was just stating facts.
