How many innocent questions of yours have been pulled?

I had my first yesterday, a question that closed over two months ago.

Update:

I wrote back protesting and asking for an explanation and got a canned letter saying thanks for participating.

Update 2:

The question was about if the number of responses a question received should be rewarded with points (at the time I had only gotten a couple responses per question asked).

    I believe 3. I emailed Y! asking why they were pulled b/c I didn't understand the reason they gave me BUT I never heard back from them. Oh well, Y!A life goes on...

    I guess it wasn't a competely innocent question, but I thought it was legitimate... I asked, "MEN, IS IT EVER OKAY TO HIT A WOMAN?"... it got reported as violence. I had stated under the question that I didn't want any abuser's excuses, that I only wanted to hear in their opinion if it was EVER okay in ANY situation. I got quite a few answers before it was pulled - most of them said no, basically, unless they were actually defending their own life. Then I was going to chose this answer as best that said, "Yeah, if they were trying to hurt that baby of yours." I thought that was cute.

    Your question might have been deleted because it had a point gaming phrase in it. These are things like:

    "Free points"

    "Who wants 10 points"

    We are going through a long process of removing these types of questions. Hope this clears up some things.

    So far I haven't had any of em pulled... I removed one myself because I got no answers but, the rest of them are still there. I have noticed though when looking through my Q & A pages that a few ?'s I answered were removed.

    I haven't seen anything disappear till now, maybe because I use more to answer Q and less to ask Q.

    But I see sometimes disappear "innocent" Q that I have answered and I don't know why.

    The only question that was pulled is because I pulled it. I wasn't getting any answers and I asked it wrong anyway

    None... Yet. The only question that I've asked that has been deleted, I deleted myself because it had no answers.

    also my first today... it kind of felt like someone taking some of your money out of your pocket while your back was turned... a bit unsettling.

    i wrote back, we'll see what they have to say about it...

    Yep, I asked if anyone had ever gone "cow tipping." It was reported as "animal cruelty." *sigh*
