Why did all my answers get deleted?

Why when I report implicit sexual answers I sometimes get they do not get deleted?

  • i feel violated can anyone help Serious answers as I feel this is serious thank you

  • Answer:

    It's a form of hypocrisy at it's finest. It happens all the time but more on the internet because people can get away with saying things they would not say in person. Like a web based forum on football, that has a huge thread about "Hottie's" but deletes subjects on politics, religion, basketball, etc. The topics are supposed to be related to football but since the moderator of the forum deems it acceptable to have a forum about women(who did not consent to being displayed like beef), yet unacceptable to talk about basketball. I am not sure how old you are, but if you are in school then you haven't even found the tip of the iceberg yet. The organizations that could be harmed directly by this behavior that are affiliated to you work hard to avoid hypocrisy, yet politicians, religions, and other mass movements don't have a problem with it because since they are founded on "beliefs" and not facts it makes them completely immune to the effects of hypocrisy in any kind of quantifiable manner. We are told that we are free when we are not, that we are the smartest when we are not, that we are gods chosen when we have no idea, etc. The biggest problem is having to walk the fine line between standing up for what you believe in and wasting your personal resources on every small problem or trying to right every wrong. Education is the path to avoiding a lot of this. How many highly educated people run around acting like clowns? When was the last time a physicist stripped naked at her birthday party? A geneticist flashed her boob at a presentation? If you want to avoid the stupidity that is mainstream society, do it by getting smarter than the people dumb enough to think of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Grey's Anatomy are examples of success. I am sorry for those troubling you, but the answer is more philosophical than tangible in your case. Alter societies path of ignorance and you will solve your problem, but choosing to alter your own path in life is the only attainable path any more.

Being serious and very practical - change your avatar to something less likely to elicit a sexual response. You might get normal answers then.

Well, you could change your avater, you are looking like someone who would welcome sexual answers with that pic, if its not for sale, dont put it on display!

It's all due to moderator judgment. I can see why you'd get a lot of lewd comments, the picture that you use is quite spectacular. Perhaps if you're uncomfortable with the remarks, go with the cartoon avatar to buffer yourself from the immature jerks?

They have to be reported by numerous people. Just one person reporting will not cause Yahoo to take any action.

Firstly thank you for trying to make the community safer for the younger members of the community be reporting ill-suited content within Yahoo! Answers. Content requires at least two reports from trusted users within the community before such content may be removed from the community. Should you see content that has yet to be removed despite reporting , please email [email protected] with a link to such content and an explanation. All the best ¢hεεrs

It's because you are the only one who complained. It takes two complaints for yahoo to even wake up!

Pleasant Peter Perkins

Probably because they are implicit answers which require a judgment call on the behalf of the person reading the response. Explicit sexual answers are different. If you are reading stuff in Men's or Women's health you are going to run into sexual content. If it bothers you that much, don't go there.

I think that it takes two more reports to get a question deleted , even at that the reporter has to have a proven record of proper reports , its in the forum or blog or somewhere like that explains the violation , thing.
