Answer Violations?

Question

Is anyone else finding that tney are having numerous answers reported as violations - answers such as those pointing out a question doesn't make sense, is to wide (eg 'tell me about the history of England'). There appears to be some self important individual trawling through every answer to make these reports. There appears ro be no mechanism for reporting that individial as the reports are anonymous

Not  for  me.  Those  type  answers   are  considered  non  answers  and  are  violations   unless  added  to  an  actual  answer  that   answers  what  was  asked. We  are  required  to   answer  what  was  asked    or  ignore  it  if  we  cannot provide  a  helpful  answer.   
Two  of  the  most  basic   guidelines  are  A  question must  be  a  question   and  an  Answer  must  answer  the   question  asked.

You  show   -120  points  this  week  so  someone   has  decided  reporting  you  was  something  to  do.  You  can  of  course  appeal  any  violations  and   winning  will  hamper  any  reports  from  the  same  individual /s.
  If  you  appeal  and  lose  another  10  points  is  deducted.

Yes, last Sunday i got about a dozen in 20 minutes or so.  Appealed all of them got most restored.  Took 3-5 days though.

But my reported answers were Yahoo links to solutions that problem asker had.

An answer to an question can not be a comment about it. If the question makes no sense, etc, either ignore it or see if email to the asker is available.

To specifically answer your question my answer is no.

Trying to help a poster by telling him his question is  too vague or in wrong category is a cardinal sin on here.  Avid bored reports pounce on those type answers with glee to boost their pitiful egos.
