why do I get reported for calling people scrubs?

i don't know what the deal is but i have been hit on both yahoo answers and rune scape and i find no reason behind it of all the definitions i have heard nothing is close to offensive or worth reporting (i use it to state people play games horribly and not the way the should)

    YA guidelines. To you it may seem harmless and to others you might as well have hit them in the head with a sledge hammer..some others on here just get off reporting people. I directed a lady to a web site that offered financial advise on how to protect her bank account and was reported..YA gave me some vague explanation about guidelines and deleted my answer! Since then, don't really give a crap anymore one way or the other.

    you think that's bad, i got reported for saying "i like" and that is all i said.

    i think it's just some "scrub" being lame. just make an appeal to yahoo. when they read your appeal, they'll decide what to do. in my case, they reinstated my points and said that the reporting party will hold less weight if they try to report someone else. don't let these turkeys get away with it, it makes it more frustrating to everyone else
