  • Why does YA prevent you from responding after a question is deleted?

    I recently had one of my answers deleted, because it supposedly "violated the community guidelines". I have no idea whatsoever which guideline they think it violated, or why it was deleted.

    However, when trying to respond on the link they provided in the e-mail, I got a form to fill out. Although this form has a REQUIRED field ("Subject") no entry box shows up for the field, so I can't enter it, ergo, I can't submit the form, and therefore have no recourse to protest this censorship.

    Even trying to tab into the field doesn't allow me to enter anything, so I can't submit. I'm using Mozilla Firefox, 2.0.0.20, which is hardly an uncommon browser.

    Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to appeal this? I would post the original Q and A, but apparently it violates the rules.

  • How do "comments" work? Added a comment, but can't see it?

    I posted a wrong answer to a question (now closed). Sadly, also got picked as the Best Answer (I can be very convincing, even when I have my head somewhere it ain't sposed to be).

    I posted a comment (the only way to respond, it would seem) but I can't see the comment. How does that work?

  • Why not a "More detail needed" button?

    Lots of questions here suffer from far too little detail from the asker. Why doesn't yahoo answers add a "More detail needed" button, so that the asker could be prompted to expand the question some without having to go through the whole "post a response" sequence?

    And, while I'm on the subject, why do so many askers provide so little detail for their questions? Please, if you want people to help you with an answer, spend enough time on the question so that they CAN help you!!!

  • Anyone else notice that KC got 5 downs?

    I swear that KC got 5 downs on their last set.

    1st down - Pass to the left in the end-zone, incomplete, over the receiver

    2nd down - Nearly identical to the first, incomplete, behind the receiver

    3rd down - run up the middle, stopped at line-of-scrimmage

    4th down - pass up the middle, almost intercepted, incomplete

    5th down - pass to the right in the end zone, behind the receiver.

    A friend of mine agrees with me, but nobody else seems to have noticed it.

    Did I miss something? There weren't any penalties I was aware of, and the line of scrimmage didn't move (not even "half-the-distance").
