text: is it a sin that yahoo!answers suspended "krajlicatabiaa" from this site? krajlicatabiaa is/was one of my favorite regular anwerers on here. she always showed respect for everybody and showed a bright, funny and smart personality.  she got suspended from this site for asking a question in a foreign language.  66% of her answers were chosen as best answers! i think she's a loss to the yahoo!answer community. i don't know her, but i always enjoyed her questions.  one of her questions, just as an example:  http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=aslqdp1fy3jdur4jto2u2pcgbgx.?qid=20060620211327aazkzk9  could we all pray (or whatever) that god (or whoever) will make yahoo! correct this obvious error?? the yahoo! gods have answered our prayers and seen fit to restore her...  practically speaking, i've often suspected that a lot of yahoo!'s suspensions are automated. probably whenever somebody reports abuse, it's added to a database, and after someone gets a certain number of reports, the computer automatically shuts down the account. this, of course, tilts the scales against long-term and well-known users, because sooner or later someone will report you. i think the system really prefers semi-anonymous figures who ask fact-based questions that don't require thought and give fact-based answers that don't show thought. mediocrity wins out in the end.  two suggestions i could make to yahoo! would be to counterweigh abuse reports with the time someone's been on the site - someone who's amassed 20 abuse reports in 12 hours is clearly more of a threat than someone who's amassed 20 abuse reports over several months - and to offer some kind of counterbalance to abuse reports - something to accentuate the positive and not just the negative, like on ebay where feedback on a user can be positive or negative.  but yahoo! is a private company and has the right to behave however they want... our two choices are to accept it or walk away...  ----------  (edit: a better question is why they haven't suspended someone like sara f, who gives answers as ignorant as the one above...)
