Are these YA Mods out of control?

I'm getting sick of it. It seems more times then not, I spend a good amount of time answering a question, then once I hit "submit", I get a message of "Oops, YA is currently unavailable". It seems more and more they are removing or blatantly deleting questions that place the boy king in a negative light.

Update:

Does Ms. NBC employ these ppl? Is Ed Shutlz a YA mod?

    Sometimes i believe it's just a glitch in the system. Though sometimes the question may be in the process of being deleted, or some times it's due to a best answer having been chosen and it's being processed. To make sure, go back to the question list and re-select the question. If it's been deleted it will say so.

    You think. I sent this off to Answers today.

    This is not an appeal but unless you read what has been written you have no business monitoring this system. I am so tired of trolls and children reporting upstanding posters for absolutely no reason at all other than the fact they know they can. Who on earth would report someone for saying You should do your own homework? I see the most foul language used on this site and when it is reported nothing happens. Don't tell me I have no idea if something happens or not because I do know. I am not the only one on here who is fed up with the way these situations are handled. The only answer I have for why this is allowed to go on is that someone on your side is not managing the dept properly or at all. Those of us who love the site and have made many friends here really think that by not providing accurate reporting is not fair to the rest of us. Children should not be allowed to play on this site and certainly not be allowed to report someone because they don't agree with what they are told. I have seen posters on here that have had their accounts cancelled after being an active participant for years just because some group of children ganged up on them for spite. This makes me think that you are not using good judgement and misusing the power you have been given. Your power their account.

    I think that you may be making an assumption that there is no proof of. I am a liberal and many times I have had the same problem. I usually wait awhile, go back and resubmit and with the second attempt, it works. I don't think there is any thing more to it, than a glitz of some kind. As far as questions and answers that put a negative light on the President, I have seen many that do just that, so I really don't think there is too much "censorship" going on.

    Not sure if you are correct on that. But i would not at all be surprized. The media is not FREE. You do realize that don't you. Too much truth out there and the plans get all messed up. OOOPS time for another media blitz....

    Seriously now....you're not surprized by this are you ???? really?

    Personally, I think it's not so much mods but people deliberately posting questions & deleting them almost immediately so they can't be reported; won't have to face answers from people correcting or criticizing them; and to just generally p*ss off everyone trying to reply to those questions.

    Yea, I miss the old yahoo answers from like 3 - 5 years ago. They are even getting rid of the cartoon yahoo avatars now. It's so stupid.

    You see the most benign answers and questions being reported and deleted, and actual threats of murder being retained.

  • They are incompetent. Also, they need to fire the YA police. Report monkeys are out of control.

    The system often gets overloaded. If you go back and submit again, it will work fine.

    Or, you can immediately blame liberals for something that is no more than a technical glitch.

    You've clearly made your choice.
