Since when does Yahoo delete lagitiment questions?

It was probably deleted because someone reported it as insulting, or one of the other reasons that are person opinion and not like doesn't follow q & format. It seems to be happening a lot recently

First off, did the poster perhaps delete it?

Secondly, you're giving Yahoo too much credit... it's not like people are sitting there evaluating questions and deleting only Wiccan ones all day.

The community can report questions. If a question gets a certain amount of reports, it automatically deletes and send a violation notice.

If the person truly did not violate community guidelines, the poster can send an appeal and the question can be returned to the forum if no violation was committed.

You still don't get how this works, do you?

There isn't a team of administrators here who take a personal look at each and every reported question right away. They don't have time or the resources for that. Otherwise, they couldn't keep this site free. Questions get removed based on how many people report them and what level of reporting credibility those people have.

If this person's question really wasn't in violation, then they can appeal. THEN they take a look at it. If it looks legitimate (note the spelling) then the answer gets put back and the people who reported it lose credibility. But if it got into a chat or rant, then most likely it was against the rules anyway.

Regardless, I don't know why people ask "How do I become a Wiccan" in the first place. Aside from the fact that the question has already been answered here thousands of times, there are plenty of better places to go for information on Wicca.

By the way, try making use of the built-in spelling checker here.

they some times delete for reasons known only to them I think

I once asked a question, in Biology about brown adipose tissue percentages in Boreal people.

That's percentage of dark fat tissue in people who live at the poles. I wanted to know if the increase in Boreal climates was genetic or if it occurred in anyone who lived there long enough.

that was deleted--I would like to say I don't know why, but I'm fairly certain someone with no knowledge of the subject of terms assumed it was a question about race. it absolutely was not, but instead of asking or finding out, it was deleted.

They can be king of Biased, For example I'm sure they often delete questions about Nigeria because of the spelling, or even Thistle seed by it's other name.

Very weird, but I'm glad some one else has experienced this, I think they just key on words or the complaints of people who don't understand the questions.

I have appealed several things and was told too bad, violation. I think that part of Yahoo is broken.

It's not about Yahoo being religiously intolerant. Grow up.

It has to do with stupid people wrongfully reporting the question. End of story. Challenge the deletion. At that point a real person will look at it and correct the mistake, rather than the automatic deletion that happened thanks to the report trolls.

When was this asked? I cannot find it in the past couple pages - if a question is deleted and is removed from the list, I've found that usually means that the asker deleted it. I'm not sure though.

I agree. If they are starting to delete questions like that one there is a problem. Wicca is a real religion even if the Christians don't like it. If the Christians can have questions like "how can I become Christian?" without a problem then we can have questions on how to become Wiccan.

Christianity really needs to grow up.

It takes two people to report a question and it will be zapped if they are what Yahoo! considers to be reliable reporters.

When the deleted question is challenged and restored the trouble makers won't have as much pull.

Maybe it didn't get any answers, i've asked a few questions that didn't get any answers, and they sent me a message to expand it, but I didn't. So the next day they deleted it. Not sure. I wish you all the best though. -e

if two or more whiney people click report abuse it will be deleted and we all thought this section was for open dialog about R&S i suppose it is as long as someone likes the question
