QUORA QUESTION:
A Facebook friend asks: "Is it possible, in the UK, to meet a sane woman under the age of 30 who hasn't already given birth to another man's mistake?" What does this say about the UK?
http://www.quora.com/Tatiana-Estévez It was a FEMALE admin who identified this question as "possibly insincere".
"How can a fact be "possibly insincere"? This comment was in fact made and it is well-known that there are many single mothers in Britain, as well as the rest of the West. Is Quora trying to stifle debate on a genuine social issue?"

http://www.quora.com/Judith-Meyer another female admin has flagged the question "Has feminism increased taxes and decreased liberty?" as "possibly insincere".
I believe I have now been permanently banned, at around 1700 hrs BST.
Anyone who would like to take it up with them should join and ask them:
"What did Claire Khaw say that was so bad that she had to be banned from Quora?"
Can you imagine yourself being immediately banned for daring to ask such a question by the female admins? I can. But do it anyway, if you value free speech, just to make a point.

Are women more easily offended than men?
This could be objectively measured by the nature and number of actions taken against Quora members judged to be offensive by male and female admins and members.
Taken as whole it could suggest that women are more censorious than men. Bearing in mind that women can vote, this would have an impact on our liberties that would be increasingly limited by government legislation introduced in an attempt to chase the female vote.

Possibly Insincere Question: This question has been flagged as possibly insincere.
When this topic tag is applied to a question, the question must also be reported along with a specific explanation as to what makes the question appear insincere.
Inappropriate application of this topic tag will be considered vandalism.
If you are the question asker, and would like moderation to consider removing the tag, you should both (1) send an email to moderation@quora.com and (2) post a comment on the question. Since this is a debate about the intent of the question asker, it is generally helpful if the asker is not anonymous; Quora Moderation is more likely to remove the topic if they know the question asker's name.

"I'm an admin and employee at Quora. Fyi - we don't disclose reasons why people are banned because it's not fair to the person.
You should know that Adam and Charlie (our founders) emphasize process, fairness, and rule-based decisions in moderation and it's important to us that we apply this philosophy in our choices."

She blocked me too.
I have known many who got blocked by her.
Liberals mostly run Quora and if you aren't nice (and I don't mean Nice France) the slightest mishap they will nail you and make you look bad or if you speak up against big corporations like I have which believe it or not they are mostly democrats.
When people argue against corporations it needs to make sense and if I fix the BS people spout out I get silenced.
It seems that on the web money walks and BS talks is the rule.
The web has been far removed from the early 90s of an open source of information back when live sys ops (system operators) used to run things and the only time you'd get kicked is if you actually were disruptive to threads trying to change the subject or coming in with foul language in a "F-you" manner thinking yourself funny when really nobody else is laughing and the sys op is most certianly not amused.
I really want to set fire to the main servers of Quora and have it be called an *engineering mishap*.
I think Quora is operated by mostly moderators from London, England. They all seem to be against free speech, and free thinking. If you ask a question about cops,law enforcement,FBI, CIA, or corrupt government agencies like the NSA, they will contact a government agency and have you put under surveillance. Another thing I've noticed is if a question isn't politically correct, they will mark it as "possibly insincere" or "needs improvement". If the question is not asked in proper "English language" you get criticised by members who tell you that your language is "repugnant" or learn to use spell check mate" If the question is approved and it goes against Big Pharma, Big government, Big Corporations, NASA,Global Warming, Al Gore, Psychiatry, Halliburton, cops, law enforcement, NSA, or anything that goes against modern liberalism, the question is downvoted to oblivion! So if anyone uses Quora, just know freedom of speech isn't protected because most likely their headquarters are in the UK.
I have just had a complete and very carefully worded answer censored by not publishing.
The Questioin was Do soldiers who surrender get punished.
Paraphrased;
My reply pointed out that although we the soldiers did not surrender in the War on Terror in Northern Ireland the Government did and that ex soldiers who served in NI are now being punished for basically a surrender they had no say in. This is evinced by prosecutions of ex-soldiers who killed IRA terrorists. Needless to say its been censored !!
Quora is run by Californian feminazis.
I found this article after having one of my comments removed on Quora. I am an experienced person who has read alot and have been in tousands of debates. But never have I seen so bad censorship and so little common sense and failure to explain why. I am rather shocked on how the moderators handle censorship. Or rather misshandle Censorship!
When the debate either touches sex, sexism or religion in any way you or your comment can get banned/deleted on OP's whim! I made a complain about this, but got an automatic response.
The Question: https://www.quora.com/As-a-Muslim-woman-how-would-you-respond-professionally-to-Muslims-who-push-you-into-wearing-a-hijab-burqa-or-nijab-by-saying-it-is-required-by-the-hadith-and-Quran
The background:
A moderator named Amelia clamed that I was not nice enough ?!? I was not arguing in a super friendly tone since i was trying to make a point. But I was never rude or crossing any normal lines of communication. The issue was about Islam and claims that they need hijab or any spesific clothing to be good muslim women. My arguments where only based on facts and challenged the OP and other to use simple logic and require atleast proof in the Quran. A "touchy" subject for some, obviously.
Follow the link and you will see that most my other comments are still there. Cause they did not get tag from OP. But they are written in the exact same civil manner.
Here is the OP reply, and my last comment:
--------------
I am sorry, but you failed to show the example where I am not «Nice» enough. You do not even understand that this requirement can be used for anything?
I have reread my comment, and I cannot see where I am not Nice as in rude, or impolite. If you reread what I wrote you will find that I am polite, but also tell facts.
I must say that I am a bit shocked over the way you treat the rules. To me it seems like you censor what OP does not like. And that in general makes Your site rather pointless as a stage for raising questions and get replies. The comment section are for debates, and if you react Automatic to all OP does not like, you make yourself irrelevant.
And as you see, I do understand this perfectly. Censorship by rights, but not ethical and not fair.

I'm a Liberal. I can state my opinion without foul words or abuse. Most my answers or comments, I back with fact and reasoning. Sometimes I've taken personal abuse on the chin from other users who disagree, I don't personally abuse them back, I will sometimes easily break their abusive comments down,if it's a simple proven fact over ill informed opinion non evidential belief, I occasionally add a little satirical wit into my wording. Either this makes grown adults cry and report, or most likely it's the Quora Mafia on action, with random censorship, it unjust frankly it's pathetic. They prevent adults debatig with passion, a few firm words and a little Irony perhaps. BUT once admin chooses to take offense based on their own prejudices and their own 'seemingly uneducated' weakness... Well Quora is not a place for debate between adults, not a place to give a strong and fact based answer.... Its a censored watered down pointless excuse of a knowledge sharing platform.
The randomness of Quoras petty spiteful bullying mods dishing out threats of banishment, no explanation... It is basically poor excuse of a knowledge and debate platform. If one admin takes offense early on... NY hod you quickly know you're in their crosshair. Believe me there'll be a hardcore small group devoted to tracking your every interaction and they don't give a damn about context or what the other person has contributed... Other person could be stating that Atheists are the dumbest c***s, you deserve to be shot, and my response in defense does not use such lauguage. Still I get the warnings 3 a week sometimes. I've been targeted, they watch me with added interest with sad little boners achieved as they issue another randomly unjust warning, based on what theyre programed to believe and despise. There are many targeted this way, strong views,but will back their argument with more than just opinion. It's a shame Quora mods can't do the same. Cowardly but brave behind their keyboards turning Quora into admin based content by way of banning and , warnings. I gave up trying to get answers from them. You'll know if and when they don't like your opinion, cos it snowballs into a controlled and aggressive take down campaign. Some of these admin are simple minded fundamentalist... And they can only get their hate out by being fake, biased petty people allowed to masquerade as admin.... Oooh I'm powerful today, I banned another person cos I didnt agree or like their views! Abusive?, well no technically they wrote nothing offensive of personally insulting, but my feelz were hurt. Hahaha so Ive been focusing on their content and today, I just banned them, because I'm weak, I can't debate using reason, good vocabulary and facts like they could...which annoys me so 2 or 3 of them witch hunt many people straight outta here. Some of them really have sad empty lives, ruling Quora for everyone. Big clap for them. Someone higher up needs to keep some reigns some of them, the over zealous bigots.. Removing and banning them would make Quora a substantialy more interesting place where free flowing adult discussions are allowed to happen. Because it happens less and less now . Some mods are zealots, only here to target and remove those who don't share their opinions. And that's just all kinds of wrong!!
Quora is one of the corrupted corporations. They don't have moderators, they have dictators. Quora is place where criticism isn't allowed, where truth isn't allowed. It's a "North Korea" of the Internet. It's an echo chamber. This greedy corporation is run by pathetic hypocrites with clear agenda and they make money from their users content who are unpaid workers for this greedy corrupted corporation. I deleted my account and I suggest everyone to do the same if you value freedom of speech and don't want to be just another kog in their dirty system.
