Why does yahoo work so hard to limit free exchange of ideas on yahoo answers?

Question

why do people get reported for "chatting" or "its not a question" or "no reason at all"? why does yahoo make it so easy for someone who just does not like your view point to get your question or answer deleted?

Answer 1

I think the people who judge these things are just too lazy,

stupid or lackadaisical to concern  themselves with anything

beyond simply going through  the motions--receive a complaint,

if it's even remotely  sane-sounding,  delete the content and then

fall back on a response "you should re-read our terms of service

agreement"--you can bet that  99% of the time if any of these

people who sign the notification had to demonstrate just

precisely how  the deleted content was a violation  to

remain employed, they'd  be pounding the pavement.

If you request clarification they fall back on requiring you

to retrieve  a lot of specific information from  a post  they've

deleted--you'd have to keep copies of everything you

posted and cross-reference everything. Who'd go to that

trouble and how would it ever be  worth it?

Just keep reposting whatever it is they delete--that way you

can keep it before the public eye. If you've got to keep a copy,

then use it to copy it to your edit buffer and paste it in to

another reply field or as a new question--over and over.

Here's another suggestion: if we catch 'em in the process--the

question is deleted before we can post our answer, for instance,

then go back a page and copy the question  they deleted from

someone else to your edit buffer and post it as *your* question.

If this  trend could get started they'd have one h**l of a headache

trying to keep abreast of  the cloned questions flying in at them

from all directions.  They might have to hire someone to code

some new software!  Then  some bean-counter might look at that

and wonder if it might be cheaper in the long-run to hire people

who can actually read and apprehend meanings of what they

read to do the  moderating.

I've reposted someone else's deleted question  that I never would

have had the  lack of good taste to have posted myself just on

the principle that they shouldn't delete questions just because

they  offend someone who's a loudmouth.  On that basis, almost

every question I see could get deleted.  There's such a thing as too

much of a good thing.

because yahoo is just like big brother (if youve read the book 1984)

Answer 3

Answer 4

Must be the queue is getting longer and longer.

With those knocking at the door.

Too many hungry ghost to feed.

Can't keep them all waiting out there.

Give some breathing space for everyone.
