Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Do you believe you are being censored on this site?

I have written a legitimate answer and seen the perfectly reasonable Political question deleted therefore wasting my valuable time; if this sort of stuff is going on Yahoo I shall be moving away to a more democratic site.

This is not the first occasion that this has happened ... they just drop the line and I have to reconnect ... upon my return the question is not there.

    Personally no not at all. I have only ever attempted to answer, not ask though. I have occasionally tried to answer a question to find it has been deleted. Rare though. I confess to knowing very little about the powers that be behind this forum.

    I suppose they cannot allow an absolute free-for-all? Maybe the best thing would be to ask yahoo themselves, but I suppose that has already been tried. I know not.

    it helps, I do not detect any censorship of questions whcich are particularly left or right leaning politically.

    A certain number of people have to report a question to trigger a review by Yahoo personnel.

    Once they do, if they concur it violates the guidelines in some way, it's deleted.

    That's how the system works, at least in theory.

    That once happened to me.The question was in my activity but nowhere in the question stream. It stayed in activity and even received some answers. I choose the b/a from out of my activity and it didnt go into resolved. One Troll said my "racist" questions was being held back. I dont know what happened but I cant accept its anything like censorship.

    they do it all the time. they are almost as bad as some of the readers who can't tell ironic intelligence from gross evil.

    lets keep fighting the good fight so we can defeat the politically correct elitists & end their perverse control over the media & internet.
