I asked the question "Christmas Lights – Are you putting yours up yet" – In reference to the recent news reports regarding Rochdale Borough Council’s current Chritmas activities – It was VN’ed into oblivion.

My dear sirs…
This question relates to the activities of Rochdale Borough Council..
Who just happen to be installing their Christmas lights..!
Have I defiled Ramadan or something, because it beggars belief that some
petty minded individual could find this question to be in violation of
the rules..
Read the news report that my question links to.. and see for
yourselves..!!
I asked "Christmas Lights – Are you putting yours up yet..?" – An
innocuous question at any time, in relation to the Borough Council’s
extremely early Christmas activities… That’s all.. Nothing else….
Tell me where is the violation in that – without giving me the mind
numbing automated response "we cannot enter into individual dialogue" -
you already have, by sending the VN in the first place..!!!
Violation Notice indeed..!
What the chuff is wrong with these people..??!!!
..

My theory is that these replies are automatically sent out and your mail hasn’t been seen by human eyes.
I love the defiling Ramadam reference! I used to get a bit snotty too in my appeals.
If I may make you really angry for a moment. The idiot(s) that had your question removed have had their credibility boosted by Yahoo’s automated reply.
Makes quite a mockery of the whole thing doesn’t it?
Pfft..Grinch got the job after all then
Yahoo suck..*just kidding Yahoo, no really I am..honest..wahhh!!*

wow I cannot believe I actually read all that

It beggars belief some of the things they hand out vn’s for nowadays
References :
Ha! I got a violation for asking when was the last time you picked fruit from a tree? wtf?
Yahoo=no common sense
References :
the truth is that often the question is deleted before the violation.
someone at yahoo asked for a link with one of my deleted questions.
the reasons they state are rubbish, ‘cannot enter into personal dialogue’. so it’s nothing personal, we’re just unfair.

The reason I stopped appealing VN’s.
I got a VN for asking where Waldo is hiding is this picture, that I posted.

Some people have no sense of humour, bloody prudes!
