Question:
A question concerning the Yahoo sensors ?

OK, the other day, I posted a question about the Liverpool vs Derby game this past weekend, and I included a few clips from youtube. It was an attempt at humor. An old Monty Python clip were a boxer beats up a small child ( Liverpool vs Derby / Boxer vs small child ( get-it ? )).Anyway, originally I posted a second clip from Monty Python as well, were at the end of the clip, one could see Terry Jones bottom. The original question was removed without ever being posted. It occured to me at this time that clearly the delay we experiance, from the time we ask a question, to the time the question is posted in the forum, can be attributed to our questions being reviewed before posting.

OK, I'm fine with this to a point. If Yahoo wants to have higher standards than youtube or public television, this is ok with me. What I don't understand however, is why Yahoo would kill the video, yet allow certain questions and answers that are nothing more than strings of four letters words ?

I answered your question that got through and thought it was worth starring,and due to the censorship of your original question I obviously didn't get to see it.

I can only guess that the reason why Yahoo deleted your original question was perhaps down to them focusing more on questions which include links to other sites;which some people on here would use to offend or cause distress to others.

It sounds like you were treated harshly as the link that you added was obviously meant to cause no offence,and was therefore inoffensive,that is unless Yahoo have a zero tolerance policy on any form of nudity no matter how harmless it may be.

I can understand why Yahoo might prioritise censorship on links to outside pages,but in this case,Perhaps they were looking too hard.

I just wish they would adress the users who utilise multiple accounts and in doing so undermine the integrity of this forum.

I actually gave an answer that was voted as best answer, then my answer was deleted then the question also shortly after, so I lost all those points. I thought it was so retarded (oops, I guess I am going to lose those points too since I said "retarded"...since that is exactly what I did to lose the points anyway. Someone was being an idiot so I told him a thing or two, but I did not swear. I think I called him an idiot and some other crap but nothing major) so thanks yahoo!

hi, that video became into wonderful. going back to the priority, i'm unsure approximately that. i had quite a few questions that by no capacity have been given published while they have been screened. i had my comedian tale approximately "condom", no longer something raunchy get reported and then deleted on a similar time as questions by using purchasers attacking different purchasers are nonetheless open. double standards? i do no longer understand relatively yet one component i realised is that in case you record an abuser with quite a few hyperlinks to multiple questions and solutions as evidences to the priority you're elevating, they are going to deliver you an e mail saying they are going to look at it. once you get that, you do have of project that your themes would be addressed, ie postponing the account of the consumer. which leads me to respond to here your different question. we can't do something approximately dissimilar ids and hidden schedule. that is a dropping conflict. maximum suitable is to forget approximately them. in spite of the fact that at situations i'm no longer able to help giving some jibes on my own.

I also had a best answer deleted presumably for using the word 'bloody' at least I assume it was that - pathetic compared with a lot of the language I have seen on here - some of it repeatedly used by the same answerers

good luck dude. if yahoo really wants higher standards in its products, it should apply its community guidelines to the teeth and stop having double standards.



i hate censors. but i sure wish they can do something about abusive users.
