Where's the humour gone? I asked about the bull fighting section and was just wondering where the beef was?!
Answers: I got a violation notice for this. Was I insulting anybody here? I'm sort of veggie from time to time myself. So what all the beef all about?
You are offending those with who have had an 'irony bypass' operation..or those who think that a 'humour' is malignant and should be surgically removed.
Look, many people are extremely passionate about animal rights and such and when you make such a crude pun such as that people are going to get offended.
Good pun there. People need to lighten up, especially those animal rights people.
I saw the humour in it, made me giggle.
I didn't see your original question, but this is what a Yahoo Answers employee has to say about the bull fighting section:
"There's currently a glitch causing this category to appear on some pages, but it's not a valid category for the U.S. and you won't be able to ask questions there."
And yes, people have to take puns less seriously.
You have been the victim of the robots. They see "beef" and "bullfighting" (among other key phrases or words ."I eat meat... " is one of them, "I am an omnivore..." is another) and they automatically reach for the "Report it" button and the "Thumb down" button as they have been programmed to do.
If you wanted to keep your question, you could have typed " I am a vegtarian and I rob banks" and would have gotten thumbs up and "congratulations for being a vegetarian..." posts instead.
well, I think that's funny... I have gotten violation notices for ridiculous things too, and none for times when I thought I would get banned from here for sure
Remember it only takes one 'trusted reporter' to get any question or answer deleted.
So it's very likely you were reported by only one person, and certainly not by the whole of V&V.
things like that arent funny to animal lovers.
humour is funny when its not about killing.
and 4 all the other people on here misinterpretating vegatarians - u got us wrong - lay off!!
Bezoomny is right, many people are very passionate about animal rights issues (including myself). Bull fighting is a terrible "sport", if that's what you would call it. I get questions and answers deleted all the time, often for no apparent reason. Just be careful what you post next time, & think about who you might offend. ---- I didn't see your question.
I think humour went the same route as honesty, respect and all that other 'stuff'. The entire planet has gone mad as far as I'm concerned. Had a good giggle over your original question. Well done.
So funny! NOT!
Joking about cruelty to animals is in very bad taste. XD
Dude, humor in the V & V section is a oxymoron. There is no humor here. Only zealots.
Maybe you didn't get a violation for insulting ? there are many categories and reasons for violation reports. Its a bit presumptous for the other answerers to know why you got the report.
I see you answer a lot in the religion section. Maybe you said something in there someone didn't agree with and they followed you ?
I'm an expert on being on the receiving end of reporting, i get about 5 a day now and can pretty much gurantee they are from our regular pet trolls. They don't care if its a valid report, it just seems to be part of thier log-on process. "Normal" people browse questions, the trolls take a trip through an answer history and report randomly. The violation reports i get are all false, so reporting in this section is not the preserve of veggies or vegans.
If you are going to claim V&V don't have any humour, you also need to ask the same of the trolls who seem to spend an inordinate amount of time reporting.
I have no clue why i mean so much to thier little lives, but i suppose I should be happy i give them some purpose in life..
Their are two things vegetarians don't like. One is factual information, the second is humor. Your question must of fallen into one of those categories.
