It is a place where we keep questions that are inappropriate in a queue and then someone goes through them to see if they should be deleted permanently, or if they are likely to be asked again, instead placed in a holding area where only supervisors can see them, but people who ask the question again will get a message telling them the question is inappropriate.

Inappropriate Incest vandal questions to delete?
Questions originating from IP 50.88.148.201.
How do you delete questions in this app?
Users cannot delete questions. If you believe a question is inappropriate mark it with a flag or contact any supervisor and they will deal with the matter
How do i delete my questions on answerscom?
You can't. You'd have to contact a senior supervisor and see if they're able to. However, inappropriate questions can be trashed by any regular supervisor.
Why doesn't WikiAnswers block inappropriate questions?
WikiAnswers doesn't 'block' inappropriate questions, but rather stores them so no one can answer an inappropriate question that has already been asked. It is called a 'Catch-All', and it stores all of the inappropriate questions so when a user types in an inappropriate question that has already been asked and merged into that Catch-All, they will get an answer telling them that inappropriate questions are not allowed on WikiAnswers. In a way, WikiAnswers does 'block' inappropriate questions.
Can you not delete this question?
I could delete this question if I chose to... but I like answering questions a lot more than I like deleting them. And if they are useful questions and don't involve illegal things or inappropriate things, then we try to keep them, to help the next people that come to the site to ask the same thing.
Where do the questions that contain inappropriate subject matter go to?
Supervisors can trash inappropriate questions to a catch-all category that houses inappropriate questions that are hidden and out of view of normal users on the site.
Inapropriate question deleted?
This answer is very inappropriate I suggest that you delete it.
can you delete questions in Answers?
no, you cannot delete questions in Answers once they have been submitted.
How do you delete a question if you are not a Community Assistant?
Only certain users are able to delete questions. At this time, it is not possible for any user except those chosen few to delete questions completely from the site. Questions are not deleted often, nor are they meant to be. However, we do have a process for bad/inappropriate questions. If you think a question qualifies for deletion, place it in the "catch-all category" or notify a supervisor. If you are a supervisor and think a question needs to be deleted (see catch-all and trashing guidelines), simply trash the question completely. It will then be reviewed and possibly deleted.
Why can't a user easily remove a question they asked that doesn't meet the guidelines?
The whole purpose of Answers is to be a permanent repository for user generated content. Questions are not removed unless they are inappropriate or abusive. Users are expected to know the guidelines before they add or change content. Besides, if you can delete questions, then so could others. Giving the ability to delete what you asked can open more avenues for abuse. Vandals could delete many questions, and even good users who feel estranged or disgruntled could resort to deleting questions in retaliation for some perceived slight. Now, if you really do believe you went over the top, the best thing to do would be to seek out a supervisor and let them know what you did. Then they can delete or fix it to be more in line with the rules. Of course, any registered user in good standing should be able to reword questions or edit inappropriate answers.
Why do some Supervisors add inappropriate questions to different categories instead of the inappropriate question category?
The majority of the time that Supervisors do not catch inappropriate questions is when they are using the Batch recategorization tool to move hundreds of questions at a time. If you see a question that is inappropriate, please report it via the red "Report abuse" button.
What questions should be classified as inappropriate?
Questions, with foul language and questions that don't make sense.
