Banned Questions

[pjm007]

Ed; I am relatively new to the Answerbank, (by the way, what a fantastic idea!) obviously some questions need to be banned if containing racial, sexually explicit or generally offensive content. But recently i have posted perfectly innocent questions in the 'adverts' section that have been banned. Could you explain any other content that may be deemed offensive, 'cos i am confused.

Duplicate questions will be removed (to avoid people going to the trouble of answering something that's already been answered elsewhere); 'questions' that are actually chat will be removed (there's plenty of chat elsewhere on the Internet, we're trying to keep this site special!); questions posted in the wrong category will be moved (you'll get answers quicker, and other users won't be frustrated) and people who post several questions in quick succession (i.e. ten quiz questions as separate posts rather than in a single thread) will also be edited (again, you'll get answers quicker, and other users won't be frustrated at seeing their questions pushed off the bottom of the page.)

OK Ed, Thanks for explaining. But i recently posted the question about what the music in the Vodaphone live! advert was. (the one where people are getting hit in the face with snowballs) I have not seen this question posted by anyone else, its in the right category and in my opinion certainly not offensive in any way. I have posted the question 3 times, each time slightly changing the wording, but it still keeps getting banned. All i want is a genuine answer to an innocent question. Thanks for taking the time to try to explain...but i'm still confused!
