Rather than completely deleting someone's Yahoo account, why doesn't Yahoo only keep that account from...
...using the Answers forum. I think that would eliminate a lot of possible problems from someone losing their email account.
At least they could send a final warning that your account will be deleted?
Ideas?

I would certanly like to be ablet o deactivate certain aspects and keep others, but Y!A strikes me as an "all-or-nothing" kind of site and forum.

I think that's how it should be too. If you're "misusing" YA, then you should be barred from it, but maintain your account itself so you can still use email, etc.
Not sure if they'll ever change it though...
