Why are the Yahoo Answer moderators hiding good question answers so the high point YA gurus can copy the answer and get the points and BA?

It seems the moderators are hiding the good info answers and then reposing the same basically ripped off info so their moderator friends can get the votes and best answer. Has YA turned into a KGB spy ring now? You can't post a picture file or a manufacturer link without the YA moderators hiding your post like the NSA.

    You need to know this is already a community-moderated site. All "good" Q&A's get deleted because users took the time to report them for various violations of the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. None of them are hidden, no matter what you have to say.

    There are no moderators, just volunteer users. Multiple posts are reported and/or deleted.

    I had a look at your answers and what's happening is that the spam filter is ghosting them. It's the links that are the problem. The spam filter isn't very smart.

    this site is USER MODERATED and nobody is doing it on purpose, it's probably just a retarded function in the coding that supposed to do a better job than it's actually doing.

    We are all moderators,you as well.Are YOU hiding answers ? NO? well that is because no-one can hide them,not even YA unless they are reported and deleted.You are seeing a conspiracy that doesn't exist.If your answers are disappearing it is because they have been reported.
