Ever think Yahoo Answers is a little too petty about "violations"?!
Question: Just wondering what others thought about the Violations that Yahoo gives. Such as if you tell someone in your answer who wants to lose 20-30% of their weight in less than a month that they are being ignorant to the dangers... it is a violation for insulting other members. OR if someone asks how can they cheat their insurance by getting a policy for a claim that actually happened weeks ago that they are an idiot for asking how to commit fraud online. Don't you think that by aknowledging the fact that someone is a moron is only stating the obvious truth? LOL

It is funny. You asked this same question on two categories which was probably to reach different people... and the answers on this category agree with you and the answers on the other category think that insults of any kind are wrong and that Yahoo is right in its violation notices!
I think Yahoo is far too petty and if someone is asking for stupid advice, they should be referred to as a moron!
I always think that
You are right on all you've said. YA needs to chill.
a "little" petty isn't the word for Y!As violations. if i said what i think of their violations, i'd get another one.
