Most violations come from "chatting". However you do not say what your violations were for, so it is hard to say.

You don't mention if you got a violatione-mail notice. There are several reason questions are removed:
1. It is a violation of the rules - you will get an e-mail when that happens. If you get one, post it here in a question and the users can tell you the problem. There is no statute of limitations on breaking the YA rules.
2. There were zero answers when the time expired - no e-mail sent.
3. The BA was reported as a violation - no e-mail sent.
4. During voting, "No Best Answer" was chosen as the best answer - no e-mail sent.
Look in your e-mail, including the spam folder, for a violation e-mail. If not there, check your activity tab in your profile. If nothing about a violation there, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons.

If you are being advised they have been removed then they have been reported. You can read the guidelines and terms of service below, they tend to be very ambiguous, Chatting is a catch all. All it takes is 2 "trusted" members to report you and the bots remove it appeals are often a waste of time and points. Some suggestions, If you haven't done so, edit you info so your questions and answers are hidden that way it makes it harder for trolls who enjoy reporting violations or presumed violations to stalk you. Also, avoid pages with controversial subjects such as religion, homosexuality, racism, pornography, any hatred, downloading movies or music etc. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal Don't give smart, flip or sarcastic answers and if you believe you are being stalked go to other categories. You might also consider changing your avatar and i.d.

No mistake here. The question you asked does nothing to contribute to the knowledge based, searchable database, that Yahoo Answers was designed to be. NO CHATTING OR PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS: You may meet friends or other interesting people on Yahoo! Answers with whom you'd like to engage in personal correspondence. If so, please use the chat option on your profile page, rather than use Yahoo! Answers itself. Questions that are chatty, or attempts to engage others in personal communications, will be removed. Some examples of questions that do not comply with the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines are below. These are just a few examples, and we reserve the right to change, remove, or add to the list at any time, without notice: How are you? Anyone want to chat? What's your name? How old are you? Do you like my avatar? What time is it? Who here likes steak? How many points do you have? Who likes Britney Spears?

I WAS TOLD I VIOLATED SOMETHING AND I HAD A REALLY EASY ANSWER - I DON'T USE PROFANITY OR STUFF LIKE THAT SO I CHALLENGED THE VALIDITY AND THEY SAID THEY WERE WRONG, SO APOLOGIZE AND ASK FOR A CLARIFICATION, SO YOU ARE SURE NOT TO DO THIS AGAIN,. THIS YAHOO ANSWER AND QUESTION STUFF IS COOL. I WONT EVER MAKE 25 THOUSAND BUT ITS FUN FOR NOW.
