Why doesn't yahoo block all posts containing the following combination of words:?

Nerd, thigh, strangle.

Update:

No, it's a serious question. Before Yahoo was anything else, it was a search engine. They have the power to filter out all questions with those 3 words in combination, but they don't. It's not like there is ever going to be a serious post containing all 3 of those words.

    I guess the best thing to do is just ignore the idiot who constantly comes up with the question using that combination of words. I can't imagine a serious question using them but I suppose it is possible.

    People will always come up with new terms-so i guess yahoo thinks it is not worth it. It would be pointless having to keep on blocking phrase after phrase.

    I remember that troll who used those 3 words everywhere constantly lol !!! He was posting that question all the time...with those 3 words.

    I ignored him till one day I wrote : quit trolling will ya ?

    It is ME who got the violation lol..for "harassing other people" !!!!!!!!

    Obviously the community guidelines do NOT work !
