Since when did asking what your favorite thing is starts with a letter of the alphabet a violation?

    It's always been a violation, just that (hopefully) many don't find them worthy of reporting compared to really offensive things.

    According to Yahoo, questions have to be knowledge seeking and benefit the community.

    Many things posted.. yahoo considers them violations. What makes the real difference on any is whether someone chooses to report or pass it by.

    They want clicks. Hate, curiosity and strong emotions get clicks. We're just fish in their pond and those are the hooks.

    Protest that decision! It's a proper question because it begins with who, what, when, where or why.
