User moderation system
The sentence "Misuse of Yahoo! Answers is handled by a user moderation system, where users report posts that are in breach of guidelines or the Terms of Service" is inaccurate, or at least misleading. Users click the "report abuse" button for any post, for any reason, or simply at random, even if the post is not in breach of anything, and do not have to identify the specific guideline or terms of service that has supposedly been breached. The "politics" category is plagued by reporting of questions simply because the reporter doesn't agree with the opinions expressed in the question. "Insurance" used to have a user who tried to protect insurance agents from online competition by posting dishonest answers stating that insurance could be purchased only through an agent, and falsely reporting any answer that divulged that there was another option.
I obviously have strong views about this and can't write from a neutral point of view, but the current text is grossly inaccurate and needs to be revised.47.139.42.228 (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
