Is there a law of decency on the questions and answers here ?

I see where some use astericks for the words that are best left completly deleated. Can they not speak civily in their questions and or responses that they give ?

    Libby and Age are both right:

    When I had a "venting" violation (who, me??? ;)) I was told by Y!A that "once I signed on, I agreed to YAHOO"S terms of service (TOS)" and had to come to terms with it........there are just some inferences and colloquialisms that Y!A does not find acceptable. I got a violation on Yahoo Buzz about a euphemism that has been used for centuries for the common Brazil Nut.......

    Yes it is called the community guidelines. YA adds the asterisks for unsuitable words. You can always report them for posting something harmful to minors
