Position:Home>History> Has anyone else had a question/answer censored by the Yahoo admin team for no reQuestion:Some guy with the avatar name of "Coon Hater" asked a question "So who really believes the holocaust happened?" I gave specific evidence that it happened in my answer, talked about the different types of holocaust deniers (Political/religious/ect) and then made a guess by the guy's name and information in his profile along with answers to other questions that he was just a racist. I got an e-mail the following day stating that it was deleted for "solicitation." Sent multiple e-mails trying to appeal it with no response. I realize there is a forum for this type of stuff, but I guess I'm just curious if you guys have ever had to deal with this here on the history page. Why do you think this happened?

It happens all the time. I've learned to not bother appealing - the machine just spits useless guidelines back at you. You NEVER get a chance to "speak" to a real person.
