Why is suspension from Yahoo Answers permanent?

It isn't permanent, and one must appeal a suspension correctly and have good reasons for getting it lifted in order to have the suspension overturned.

Believe it or not, that isn't the problem.

Your example...

"You can murder someone, admit it and still have a fair hearing in a court!"

Let's break that down and compare it to a Yahoo Answers account suspension.

You can murder someone - Now... are you comparing action to getting the suspension? I hope not, because this is comparable to the acts that EARNED the suspension. I say "acts" even though it is possible for a first time violator to do something so extreme as to earn a suspension right out of the gate. Barring that example, an individual must violate the guidelines MANY times before their account is suspended. They must prove that they do not wish to follow the community guidelines by getting violations for the same offenses repeatedly. They must prove they do not wish to obey the community guidelines by making that clear in the content of their violations. So, a suspension does not typically come out of the blue. It is preceded by many warnings. Thus, the example of murdering someone is akin to violating the community guidelines.

You can murder someone, admit it - this changes things. This means you have been confronted about it and you plead guilty. So, this is akin to violating the community guidelines and NOT appealing the violation, since if you are innocent there is no reason NOT to appeal the violation.

You can murder someone, admit it and still have a fair hearing in a court. Actually, no... you don't. If you are arrested and charged with murder, and you plead guilty, the hearing ends, and the process moves on to where you are sentenced for your crime. So, this is akin to violating the community guidelines repeatedly, never appealing any of the violations, and eventually earning an account suspension.

The people who are signing up for multiple accounts because their accounts keep getting suspended, refuse to obey the community guidelines. The assertion that the community guidelines are impossible to follow, is absurd due to the MAJORITY of Yahoo Answers users understanding and obeying the community guidelines. So, the argument that one cannot follow the community guidelines and will therefore eventually get an account suspension is proven false by the overwhelming number of Yahoo Answers users who DO follow the community guidelines and never get their accounts suspended.

Talk with anyone who has gotten an account suspended, and the discussion will eventually devolve into either the statement that the guidelines are bogus, or that there is some conspiracy at Yahoo to keep them out. That is just the ranting of an individual who has railed to change the rules to suit themselves, and failed.

So, again. An account suspension is not permanent. Most people fail to get an account suspension lifted because they prove they have no intention of changing their behavior and complying with the rules. They further prove this by bypassing the rules and getting another account.

EDIT: Just to be extra thorough, what happens if you commit murder WHILE you are in prison? This would be akin to creating another Yahoo Answers account while your first was suspended. By creating the second account, you show no respect for the decision to suspend the first account, and you show no respect for the rules that you broke to get your account suspended in the first place.

end of line

I think it to show users who accumulate too many violations are not wanted here.

You have countless appeals to make, and if you can't learn from them then your out.

The same is in real life, break the same laws often enough you will get locked up.

The main problem is that users don't understand what makes a valid question and answer which is why the boards are filled of inane ones, and they can't understand why they are reported and deleted

This isn't a chat room but a place where an intelligent question should get an Intelligent answer.

Even with Yahoo blogs about what chat is, few users actually read them, and the rules if I am not mistaken.

And as far as putting my mind around your rather infantile postings, I can promise you that you aren't, by a long shot, the most intelligent person in this conversation.

Now you can choose to behave and have some fun with the rest of us, or you can be an **** and I will slam down the banhammer so fast, your head will spin. And if I have to do it 50 times a day? Well? I have the time if you got the money. Honey.

Suspension is not permanent. By definition suspension is temporary. If you do not appeal then just like pleading guilty to murder sentence is passed and the suspension becomes permanent. Similarly if you appeal your case is reviewed. If you are not guilty as in the murder case you will be free to continue. If however you are found guilty again suspension becomes permanent. We agreed to the rules when we joined, if we follow them there should be no problem.

If someone wants to come back, they will get a new Yahoo account and come back, so there's probably no point in keeping track of how long each user has been suspended.

Yahoo isn't a court. They can terminate your account without reason if they want and there's nothing you can legally do about it.

I'd say f**k yahoo with their "terms & conditions."

They would suspend your account without any clear explanation/reason even if you asked reasonably for an explanation.

you can appeal it but for the most part it is

there is some that do win appeals
