Immigration applicants don't like unfavourable replies?

Many of the questions in the immigration section are requests for information on how to stay in the UK when visas are about to expire. These range from "I've lost my passport with the visa stamp in it, or my time limit has nearly expired", to "Although neither of us are entitled to stay here, our child was born here, how can we stay on using the child's status".

If an answer is given that they are just economic migrants a violation notice is issued against the answerer. Why don't Yahoo answers study the question and answer fully rather than just responding to a complainant that's just been told a few home truths?

    The thing is, they already know, they are desperate, that's why they come on sites like this.

    When people, knowledgeable people on immigration care to take the time to answer and explain to em politely that its time for em to leave the country, they go off on one, or some do-gooder will give em false hope by directing to em to site of a law firm that deals in immigration issue's for people who are usually either illegally here or about to be illegally here.

    Your supposed to be politically correct and not bash the person answering the question this is a Business and they want the answers to be as professional as they can so the can gain more support from the people asking the questions. I have answered some on global warming and got reported for abuse because I don't believe in it at least man made so go figure. some of those who check the answers are not smart enough to have any really true answers and can't think outside the box. They can only stay in the box and if your opinion goes against illegal immigration they don't like that.

    Same as if you mention Islam unfavourably, no matter how factual your statement may be you are in violation.......I guess this is the new world order that everybody talks about where freedom and democracy slowly give way to dictatorship at a pace that is hardly noticeable to the dumbed down populace. Its strange how they can come on here with threats and insults aimed at us, and yet nothing is done.......

    I think because they have cut back on staff, like other businesses.

    They dont have the people to handle all the abuse reports adequately.
