Can anyone show me where in the TOS or Community Guidelines it's a violation to have animal avatars?

Deleted Question: SURVEY: Can you look at my photo and tell me whether I need to shave my legs again?





Question Details:





Violation Reason:Pretending to be non-human








I'm like WTF?!?

Can anyone show me where in the TOS or Community Guidelines it's a violation to have animal avatars?
Uh, oh...somebody's out to get you again, you poor little doggie. That question was asked a while ago, and somebody decided to get it deleted now...sux...has happened to me too.





I never saw anything in the TOS or CG's about not having animal avatars. There are nude, human avatars running around here, for gosh sakes!!! A cute pup like you should be a welcome sight to Yahoo users and staff!





I also never saw a violation reason of 'pretending to be non-human' either. Obviously most dogs can't type very well...nor can they spell very well. I'm sorry this happened, and the person(s) who reported it were the non-human ones!!!
Reply:Lmao!! That's great,, Yahoo! just make it up as they go along...





at least you got a reason for your violation,.... i never get a reason... =(
Reply:I agree.





i was suspended on 2/13 because of "content' violation that stemmed from "pretending to be non-human"





The question: "Which do you prefer, boobies or butt?"





The reply: "As much as I try to treat the woman as a person, I find myself drawn to her boobies. I can;t help it; I'm a male chauvinist pig. Oink, oink."





That 'oink, oink' sustained a violation of 'pretending to be non-human', which rolled into the 'content violation'.





The TOS and CG are delightfully vague enough to allow folks like you and me to get sucked into this mess.
Reply:Pretending to be NON HUMAN, haha! I would love to have more non humans in this forum, go for it, girl!
Reply:Here's the reason why your question got deleted:





Participating as anything non-human is also not allowed. For example, using an avatar of a couch with a nickname of "couch", and asking questions like "Why do people like to sit on me?"





I hope this will answer your question.
Reply:Good grief as far as I know that isn't a rule, the avatars only have to be proper.
Reply:I'm with you WTF? I see nothing wrong with what you asked, it didn't offend anybody, at least it shouldn't have. I don't know what's wrong with the people on here now days, you can't say jack $***** without some moron reporting you.
Reply:It's not against the guidelines to have something non-human as an avatar. However, you can't post from the viewpoint of your avatar. Here is the help page.
