As an Australian, am I really a violent person?
Further to my question about whether Aussie crocs were eating up our questions, which was subsequently reported, this is the result of my asking why in my appeal:
We're sorry, but upon review we found that the following question was indeed in violation of the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines:
"Are our top end crocodiles eating up the questions again?"
Violation Reason: Violence & Threat of Violence
I had never realised that asking hypothetical questions about crocodiles was any sort of threat of violence!!! What do you all reckon, folks???

Gee Oznana , maybe Jarret is under threat on the Wolf Creek franchise?
Upcoming Australian Thriller all about the mad Gran who has chainsaws and knives and dodgy water to drink and a huge cellar where she does her evil deeds? All those tradies innocently knocking on her door to supposedly repair the washing machine or paint the roof or fix the taps mysteriously never leave that lonely, eerie and isolated old house on the hill where a delightful yet sinister and dark elderly woman resides? Ohhh- aaagghhh --, just got shivers down my spine !
You may be the next Aussie super star !

theres no rhyme or reason at yahoo A
I answered a question about why people want something different recently
with
the grass is always greener .. and some other related ramble
not only did I somehow get a few down thumbs but a violation and a rejected appeal
the answer was on topic, not offensive and frankly I was left feeling confused
cest la vie :)

Strange indeed. I can't answer with knowledge of why this is happening but I recently also had a violation that I re read several times to try and find an answer to the violation and the appeal failed. I'm still none the wiser. Yes strange.

Hey Oz, as I said to you before, they come back the answers team. It is not a human team it's a damn computer generated answer, and maybe 1 in 15 appeals get approved.
It's all croc, and the faceless gutless phantoms get their jollies off on it.

That is that craziest thing I've ever heard! Please assure me that YA is being run by 6 yr olds? I would contact them & demand an explanation.If they don't understand the language & speech habits of other countries then they have no business being there.Surely our phantom reporter has sunk to an all time low?
