The fact that there is a similar question about Pavarotti in the Italian section, and another one about Elia Kazan both in the Greek and the Turkish sections, proves that questions are not reported and deleted for refference to celebrities.

But Dimitris is right: there are people feeling animosity towards others for reasons known only to them.
I have been reported for questions like: "tribute of honour to our firemen", and answers like "Turkey had the worse forest fires after Greece, and when they were put out she offered aircraft to help"

I have also been reported for using a phrase in Italian, as Alexlascari says about his yesterday's answer which was in Italian (aria verses from Trovatore, Cavalleria Rusticana and Sonnambula). Kinky also mentiond verses from Turandot but she was the last answerer so they did not report her too.
We also noticed the thumbs down to the Turkish users who expressed their grief for Pavarotti's death.
So, in this case we have at least two factors that irritated the "reporters": Pavarotti - Italian language and Turkish users

Therefore I guess there is a clan in this section, which is pathetically against foreign people and languages, foreign culture, anything that lies beyond their low provincial mentality and low education. Many thumbs down for a decent and reasonable answer prove it as well.

And just for the record, my families' "motti" are "Sapientia unica via est" and "Vipereos mores non violabo"...Both

ppl all over yahoo have been reporting every one and everything for no reason!
if someone doesn't like you they just report you! that's what they do ! this has been going on for quite some time! and when they see that it actually works then they do it some more!
so if you say a really bad word or just thank you - believe me you will get reported -JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE YOU!

sore losers is they are - they have nothing intelligent to say and then they result in idiotic behavior like that!

I swear i cant understand why.People report without reason, based on personal hatred..I can assure you that i got violation because i said well said for another person who had also 7 thumbs up in another question(provocative)..
What about the thumbs down?Ok in political questions..But in this?What had to do with Pavaroti?I immediately got 4, having expressed the same as the others.
Insults, objectional speech(which user you think is better etc).
I reveived a very bad insult once and the answer of that ''sir'' is still there...
What are we talking about?It is personal...

And lets stop blaming the greek section, where the greek users are every day attacked by thunbs down in questions that concern their country, and by reports...Who has an opinion is free to say it, not hiding himself behind a thumb down..
Look now...the thumb down?so...is the problem of the section?

That was really sad. The Italian one stays, i have written a comment there,too.
But last time (some people will remember) i posted something about saving the forests and it got deleted.
The worst thing is that insults can stay forever but good actions like giving a star for fires, actions for forests or nature, star or comments for a great tenor can be deleted.
It is not only the problem of Greek section of course unfortunately there are trolls everywhere.
What is it that we people can not solve? Isn't it enough? Enough with provacations, enough with insults,enough...
Only people who made good actions will be remembered.
In every country people only remember the ones who made good actions, who cured an illness, who told good stories, who was a great philosoph etc... people never remember provacators never...

Dear,
There are 2 reasons to explain your question.
1. The person who did the Question has a lot of friend and a lot of "enemies" in yahoo, and that fact is proved by the thumbs down he got. Many people acting like fascists there. (PS: He is friend of mine and I am very sorry for that)
2. Questions which related to celebreties are deleted by yahoo. They have deleted my Q two times without explanation even though i asked.

nobody can enlighten you this is the policy of the complexic people...
But let s search also the cause in our section, between those we consider friends.I know we are also united, but there will be always others also compatriots who may deslike us...

There are more trolls in the Greek section than in the Italian one. But probably there is another reason too. Some weeks ago I had posted a question titled" Please give a star for the victims of the fires etc " . I got like 100 stars and 80 answers but my question was deleted after 3 days . I guess Yahoo does not approve questions starting with or containing "Please/lets all give a star.. " etc.

Tell me about it. I ask questions about Bush & Cheney's Malpractice all the time and they never get posted.

That is a mystery for me too!

It has got nothing to do with Pavarotti.

It has got to do with jealousy and inferiority complexes and related dislike towards the Asker and some of the answerers. Human defects, in other words.

Narrow minds and disturbed souls has always been and always will be.

Internet makes it easier to reflect it out since most of the users are anonymous.

That's all.

Under the ruling of the community guidelines, any text that contains anything contrary to the English language is reportable. I believe that may be the reason.
It must be said, that with the new reporting system, things will be even tougher from now on.
Anyone who holds a grudge against anyone else, will easily do the reporting the new feature of Yahoo Answers.
As for the possibility that some of you, may think that I had something to do with it, you are completely wrong. If I have something to say, I do it, straight to you.
