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.

What is the point of the Religion & Spirituality forum?

I just got notified that I have violated a Rule by posting here, but no link to the specific post.  When the nice policeman told me to turn off the engine, and keep my hands in plain sight, I knew what was expected of me.    But to tell someone who asks and answers about the complexities of multiple Belief Systems that ONE of my several dozen  recent  postings somehow caused distress in a person whose faith cannot survive  reasonable questions, without any clue as to WHICH ONE, offers me to clue as to which behavior to modify.

    Don't worry, you must be pleasing yahoo for the most part.  Look at all the wonderful points you have.  Perhaps it's time to stop lying to yourself, and turn to Jesus.

    You're right.  Not knowing what the offense was doesn't help anyone not wanting to repeat it.  But one of the perks here is learning good grammar.

    Like this:No comma -- don't separate the subject noun -- "moderators" -- from the verb: "can't"] People need to try to understand that Yahoo Answers moderators can't monitor the age of people who post here . . .No comma -- don't separate the subject noun -- "moderators" -- from the verb: "delete"]  And, yes, I totally understand that there may be some moderators that delete posts solely on what they believe, which does NOT violate any Rule or Guideline.[No capital E]  Also one more thing, everyone should read the Rules and Guidelines, so they are aware of what they can and can't say in the forums.

    You're lucky you get any notifications, even minus links! It's been years since I got any, despite many of my answers having been removed in recent months. On 11 Nov I answered 15 Qs and 6 were removed. On 23 Oct I answered 18 Qs but 11 were removed. On 21 Oct I answered 12 Qs but 5 were removed. On 17 Oct I answered 12 Qs but 4 were removed. I cannot tell if the Q was a violation, or my A. There is no notification of anything, I just have to search my Profile Page list and compare with the detailed log I keep.

    Those are just a very few random stats. I can assure you that I've had hundreds of my answers removed in recent years and I have no clue as to why. Well, I can guess, stalkers.

    R&S is a place for unimaginative trolls to perfect their craft.  Regardless of its original stated purpose.  And "Disciple Dave" needs to realize that Answers employs no moderators.  We are the moderators.  Trolls are the moderators.

    You should be asking this in the Yahoo Answers sub section.

    There are Rules and Guidelines set by Yahoo Answers for a Reason. If you do not follow those Rules or Guidelines then it is a just thing that a post that is not adhering to the Rules or Guidelines of Yahoo Answers, be removed.

    People need to try to understand that Yahoo Answers moderators, can't monitor the age of people who post here, therefore many posts are deleted because they are adult in nature, not fit for children to read. i believe people who post questions that are adult in nature are secret pedophiles, thinking that children are reading their stuff. If they are not thinking about the children that are reading their adult type questions, then they are ignorant people or mentally challenged people that really don't know any better.

    If your post is violating a Rule or Guideline, it should be deleted.

    And yes i totally understand that there may be some moderators, that delete posts solely on what they believe, which does NOT violate any Rule or Guideline. And we should pray for those people that God removes them from Yahoo Service.

    Also one more thing, Everyone should read the Rules and Guidelines, so they are aware of what they can and can't say in the forums.

    God is more crafty than the devil. And I do not know if the devil is more crafty than me. Therefore God is more crafty than me...lol
