"how can I go back...good old days" gets deleted really fast but "chandigarh call girls" stays up for ages?

I see it all the time on yahoo answers. Is the "how can I go back to whenever and relive the good old times" question some sort of internal yahoo operation?

Its not really very offencive but It seems to disappear so fast. While other obviously dodgy stuff seems to hang around for ages before it's taken down.

Has anyone else noticed this or even know what I'm waffling on about.

    Other users do the reporting... some questions just get lucky. I'm sure you reported it though. But those posts are bots, and the accounts do get suspended eventually. Then they create new ones and it starts all over again. There isn't much Y!A can do. We just have to keep reporting.

    I sort of get you. No, I haven't seen the innocent Q you mention, but have seen the other plenty & I've seen lot's of innocent ones go down...

    Some people get a kick out of following certain users & reporting their Q's...they don't seem to care about the spammers.

    You are probably wrong actually as there are so many of those other appearing that they do disappear, but not as fast as you notice.

    Regardless a violation is a violation.

    The rate at which a question gets deleted depends on how many monkeys report it.
