Why do people report your questions or answers when they aren't actually violations?

March 11th, 2010
  • Is it just people who don't like your opinion and so they report it hoping that you won't challenge and fight it or is there a legitimate reason as to why people do this?


  • because when people have strong opinions about something and another person disagrees they get angry at them.


  • They are jerks


  • The reason such answers are usually violated is not that a person disagrees with your opinion. It is usually that all people put in their post is their opinion and forget the one basic rule, that you have to answer the question.

    Take a classic example. If someones asks "Where is an abortion clinic in Whatever City, USA?". Many responders will give their opinion about the evils of abortion and not to do it, but all of those will be violations, because these posters would never give the location requested. Those responders should never answer the question.

    No matter what, if you post, the post must contain a helpful answer to the question actually asked.

    Another example trolls post. "Who is the cutest Jonas Brother?". If you answer "the Jonas Brothers are a waste of time", that is an opinion, but it is also a violation and the asker will violate every one.

    A vast majority of the time, opinion answers are not removed for the opinion, but for a violation of one of the formatting rules of YA. If you have specific examples, post the violation e-mail in a question here and other users will help you see the nuances of the system.


  • Either they disagree with your opinion or they don't like you personally. Since Yahoo never checks to see if the violation report is accurate or bogus, they get away with it. I say it's high time Yahoo did something about the people making bogus reports.


  • probably think its funny. just don't sink to their level and do it too.

    let them read your question and feel like a total d!ck
