How come every time I answer a question about Obama ?

Yahoo pulls my answer off? I have received 4 violation notices in the past few weeks for answering other peoples questions about Obama. No insults, no ranting, just my honest answers.

Is Yahoo biased towards opposition to Obama?

Update:

Plainspoken, Obama is a Liberal (well he said he was to get in...) I think you might have your answer in reverse. I don't think conservatives are submitting complaints about my opposing views to Obama...

    Its not YA, its the users who can't handle your honesty about Obama.

    Some of my questions take as much as 43 minutes to post and come up on page 4.

    You would think the Liberal press would be all over Obama considering everything about and his whole life is a lie. There is a thousand stories as big as the entire NY-Times and they just ignore them.

    Truth in journalism, not anymore.

    You cannot use the words Liberal and Obama in the same question/answer. Apparently, this is a little known aspect of the Y/A Terms of Service and Community guidelines.

    Just the liberal baby's will report anything they don't approve of.

    there were two well not exactly questions.One from a well known conservative one from a well known liberal.Anyways both of the so called questions were exactly the same.Just someone wishing everybody a merry Christmas.I had book marked both so called questions just for the heck of it.Guess which one got deleted?Why the conservative one of course.Liberals will report you for the same things they do themselves.

    I have found that they will not even post a question if Al Gore and Global Warming are in it.

    At least it's occasional. The conservatives here are known for removing stuff for any excuse they can come up with. A couple of them have even admitted to doing it.

    All it takes is one person who does not like your question/answer and they use the damn report abuse button and yahoo's bots take off your question/answer..it stinks.

    No.

    It has very broad community guidelines that virtually all answers and questions can violate.

    Not a good system but one we have to put up with.

    Looking at some of your answers here is some practical advice.

    Never even mildly insult a group - call them silly etc.

    That can lead to some TC's reporting and then a violation.

    Always state your direct answer to a question. Never answer a question with a question.
