Latest Rant or scoff: see below...
Yahoo Answers... and suspends. Apparently with no given reasons.
Here I was actually trying to follow the rules of the site, staying nice, not bantering or arguing with people, even when they tried to start it, sticking with just answering the question as best I know, and only adding relevant links that I don't think is virus'd or has a ton of advertizing pop-ups. There are only two moments, i can think of that could have been a possible reason... and since this is My blog, I can state my thoughts on them, so there! Some person was asking for information concerning the GED. So I tried to give them as neutral an answer as possible.. The GED IS a viable alternative, why would the gov, offer it otherwise? Personally, I was given to favor the idea, when.. while heading for my final year in school, the teachers and counselor were giving me grief over trumpd-up charges even my father, the mighty mugwump himself, couldn't understand, I withdrew. One of the teachers had said there was no such thing as an equivalency test, so I looked into it... and there it was.
Unlike a diploma, which any monkey can manage these days (seriously), The GED actually tested how much you retained lo those many years of being taught by your local school system and its hard working, if rather uncaring, teachers.
Anyway, two other answers later, some person gave an answer that ragged all over mine and anothers, by saying they were absolutely horrible advice and to not attempt to even consider doing such a detrimental thing etcetc... and the asker chose that as the best answer. yay for them. Although I spent a bit of time fuming over the idiocy presented and accepted.. I didn't reply or say anything about it, just let it sink under other questions and answers.
The last question I posted to, wasn't a 100% question. It was referencing a website known for asian drama video links that had recently closed its website for mysterious reasons. And then, the name and links etc popped up on another site. The asker had said, isn't it wonderful that its back again?! and then said since it had to be a question of sorts, to list the top 5 drama's in each country liked.
So, I, following another posters comments, said this site being 'back' wasn't my first choice of places to go to, but it was good to be able to be found somewhere when I look for information others might not have... which happens fairly often to me. I then listed top 5 in three countries producing dramas.. in no special order. That was that.
When last I saw, there had been other answers in a similar fashion, both before mine and after.
Now, if it is related to Asian drama, I have been putting my blog review addy in under the links box. I did not do so for things not related to dramas though... since it doesn't apply. This was in keeping with the community guidelines.
here is the guideline I refer to.
"... If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain."

Drama addiction and review is quite the hobby for me. And after a list of some 300+ watched drama/movie reviews, I think I can qualify as having a bit of experience in the area.
Now, it is possible that the question was deleted.. because it wasn't really a question.. more like a statement and sharing of info about a specific subject in some controversy (as most video linking sites are). But even were that the case, why suspend the answerers?
Edit: I found it, only my answer had been deleted. even the one I was 'following' was still there. (the chosen answer said the site was a rip-off. ok, so? Why should I care, as I stated in my answer.. it isn't really my first choice anyway.)
And...
If it was for the GED answer, why suspend me for answering the question at all? I violated no guidelines that I can see.
and..
Just to throw in the odd wildcard... where does it say you cannot vote for your own answer? hm? especially when others do the same, and the asker doesn't vote for any answer at all.
And..
What about my upstanding Reputation Yahoo answers just sullied?!

Since I"m in a ranting mood...
Once more I am being faced with a net-turn-off. which is somewhere, im my mind, between a power-play (which is a pet peeve) and an idiot provider, who seems to think a whole household of gamers easily equals less then 50gb of download a month.
-.-
edit: soo... long story even shorter, (playin a hat trick here) I falls offline until the bill can be paid.. then online again... maybe.. with a huge ol limit. (unless a new provider can be found without such an unreasonable demand on a crowded household's download)
