Why are there daily rants in the 'Politics' forum?

Like ';who would you rather sleep with';, and ';who has the biggest penis'; ETC???! Is anyone moderating these forums??? Why is that mess allowed?Why are there daily rants in the 'Politics' forum?
I am one of the Yahoo Policeman; I will start scanning the political forums because I general aviod them. I normally follow these guidelines.


1. Inappropriate question which I list as INP.


2. Profanity


3. Sexual content


4. Swearing(Only if it is being used as an insult or in excess.)


5. Violence or images with bad depicts or sexuality.


6. Some asks for contact(I usually leave a comment instead or it may be better to email the person.)


7. Chatting(This of little concern because it is not really a problem.)


8. Rants(eiwbfiuibfiefbibifbfeb)


9. A question that is (clearly) not a question.


10. Repeat posts


11. Posting in too many capital letters.


12. Off topic post


13. A person makes a link to another question or ad.


I usually do not report:


1. Long posts


2. Religious posts


3. Poems


4. Personal posts


5. Political posts


6. People post pictures of themselves(People get really really angry if these are removed.)


7. A person may have a second account.(People usually start second accounts because of computer errors.)Why are there daily rants in the 'Politics' forum?
The people on here are suppose to report questions like that all it takes is 2 reports and the question will be deleted. If no one reports them then they stay on. When this happens the people know they can post what ever they want as many times as they want and nothing will happen. So when you see something like this just report it. Hope this helps!!!
The users of this site are the moderators. Sad part is a majority refuse to hit the report button. They feel it is beneath them and do not want to be a rat. So we end up with all the junk
Some like to rant.


We cannot change them or answer the why.


We can only ignore them.
