Why do people report questions when there's nothing really wrong with them?

Question

I don't get it. If people make false reports, do they eventually get in trouble? I've seen a ton of questions being deleted (especially in religions and spirituality) even though they're perfectly fine questions. Does someone just get offended and report them? Just because a question is controversial, I don't see why it should be reported. Just cause someone disagrees with the topic at hand doesn't mean it's an illegal question.

anybody?

Answer 3

They get easily offended, so they report rather than risk getting reported themselves by blasting the questioner in an answer.

Answer 4

Disrespect is my usual reason. There is a lot of that out there (as I am sure you have seen).

I do not report vindictively or for reasons of controversy however.

Answer 5

I think it's possible to ask a question that is really just meant to make derogatory or inflammatory statement and not put there for an answer.

so we can't be the judge of that so people just go like "thats offensive" and report it.

Answer 6

I know what you mean, A young kid asked a question, wanted an honest answer. I told him he sounded jealous, because he wanted to know. He reported me. I appealed it. I am waiting to here about it . It was pointless.

" Why do people report questions when there's nothing really wrong

with them? " . . .

Simple, to put in the words of " Jack Nicholson " from the movie,

a few good men, " They Can't Handle The Thruth " . . .

afterall think of the power yahoo gives us with all the editing tools we

have at our disposal on here, the power to just eliminate what one is

to imature to hear, or as another phrase so appropriately coins it . . .

" Absolute Power Corrups, Absolutely, "  . . .
