Why would this question about a joke get a violation and lose the appeal?

I asked this twice, the first time in the Jokes section and asked if this was a good joke to tell my friend who is a chef. It got violated and I lost the appeal. In reading the Community Guidelines, it says we can tell a joke if we are asking a specific question like is this joke OK to tell (a certain) person which is what I did.



So I asked it again, but this time I asked why it would get violated but my mistake was placing it in the joke section when it should have rightfully gone here in the Yahoo !Answers section.

REPRINTED THE JOKE IN IT'S ENTIRETY SO YOU CAN GIVE ME A BETTER ANSWER. I look forward to hearing how I violated the guidelines. Thank you in advance for your help.

Recently I was honored to be selected as an Outstanding Famous Celebrity in my community to be a judge at a chili cook-off because, no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beerwagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could have FREE BEER during the tasting, so I accepted this as being one of those burdens you endure when you're an Internet writer and therefore known and adored by all.



Here are the scorecards from the event:



Chili #1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili:



JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor, Very mild.

CAMERON: Holy smokes, what is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that is the worst one. These people are crazy.



Chili #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili:

JUDGE ONE: Smokey (barbecue?) with hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno.

JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

CAMERON: Keep this out of the reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Hemlich maneuver. Shoved my way to the front of the beer line. The barmaid looks like a professional wrestler after a bad night. She was so irritated over my gagging sounds that the snake tatoo under her

eye started to twitch. She has arms like Popeye and a face like Winston Churchill. I will NOT pick a fight with her.



Chili #3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili:



JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.

JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.

CAMERON: This has got to be a joke. Call the EPA, I've located a Uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been sneezing Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now and got out of my way so i could make it to the beer wagon. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my back bone is in the front part of my chest. She said her friends call her "Sally". Probably behind her back they call her "Forklift".



Chili #4: Bubba's Black Magic



JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice.

JUDGE TWO: A hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.

CAMERON: I felt something scraping across my tongue but was unable to taste it ... Sally was standing behind me with fresh refills so I wouldn't have to dash over to see her. When she winked at me her snake sort of coiled and uncoiled--it's kinda cute.





Chili #5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover



JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

CAMERON: My ears are ringing and I can no longer focus my eyes. I belched and four people in front of me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed hurt when I told her that her chili gave me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. Sort of irritates me that one of the judges asked me to stop screaming.





Chili #6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety



JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.

JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.

CAMERON: My intestines are now a straight pipeline filled gaseous flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally. I asked if she wants to go dancing later.



Chili #7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili:



JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.

JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge number 3, he appears to be in bit of distress.

CAMERON: You could put a hand grenade in my mouth and pull the pin and I wouldn't feel it. I've lost the sightWhy would this question about a joke get a violation and lose the appeal?
It loses its appeal because after the same joke is posted a few times it just isn't funny.



I'm not sure why it would be violated though :)Why would this question about a joke get a violation and lose the appeal?
it lost appeal because you told the joke WITH the punchline, which IS a violation..

I do not see this as a joke but a running monologue. The violation may have been because it is a terrible example of a jokeWhy would this question about a joke get a violation and lose the appeal?
Well, maybe you could explain the same to me...I asked "Why can black people say "Black is beautiful" but if I say the same about White people, I am called a racist?" Soooo I was called a racist, although my boyfriend is considered a minority and actually just became a US citizen, anyways....I really want to know. So I appealed, and it was still deleted. Yahoo answers sucks.
To me it was funny and no 2 ways to slice it chili cookoffs are hot.. and to me it was hot.. poor Cameron..he just couldnt take it.Why would this question about a joke get a violation and lose the appeal?
nothing wrong with it , and it is clean and cute.

Cameron needs some good mouth to mouth ...
First, this joke has been posted 1000 times and people are tired of seeing it. To the point, there are formatting requirements for jokes on YA and just posting a joke to see who thinks it is funny is a violation of the Community Guidelines.
do you ever win an appeal ?? I dont now I dont even bother it is a joke itself
You got hit by a troll....and yahoo doesn't read all of the appeals they receive.
I gotta say, I got great empathy for Cameron! Poor guy! lol!

He would be better off at Cosco as a food taster! lol!
We welcome your jokes.Only point is that sometimes it is long. May be a short tempered person reports. Yahoo is always on duty .It wants some work. Right? Don't worry.
I answered this one ages ago and it like all jokes has got a sense of humor which Yahoo lacks at times.
