    The truth is, questions that go against the prevailing opinion. Please don't get me wrong. The Yahoo community rules and the terms of service are good. I wish everyone would follow them.  But  I am pretty certain Yahoo itself does little or nothing. Everything is up to your fellow users. Everything. I strongly suspect that Yahoo administration only pretends to be in any way involved. Now if you post something threatening, or really racist, or really vile, the chances are enough users will report it to get you banned. Users are often unfair, but not all bad.

    My questions legit questions get deleted all the time.  Libtrolls have made YA useless.  Congrats Libtrolls for destroying something else in our society that was good.  China 1 Us 0.

  • Obvious lies, for example: If I ask "why am I so ugly?" it will probably get removed because I'm obviously lying.

    Just saying...

    Too many questions that rile the feelings of socialists and communists, and if you are a Christian, anything that you say about  our religion and our beliefs with regards to science and hetero sechsual  behaviors and deviancy.

    It doesn't matter how close you follow the rules, if you are not a far left wacko, you stand a strong chance of having a lot of your questions cancelled.

    The ones that trigger a Swamp alert. Like Facebook manipulation of dislikes, questioning vote legitimacy, supporting Jordan Peterson, and his common sense academic approach that cause us sheeple to question what our Swamp Shepherds are feeding us through MSM, banning of T's voice in social media, and so on and so on...
