    Strange world we live in. You ask a sensible question to get a sensible answer and it gets deleted. What happened to the freedom of speech and helping others???? Come on everyone, lighten up. The question wasn't abusive or against the rules. If anyone doesn't like a question at least have the manners to ignore it.

    Until Yahoo is sued over their Customer Care abuse, they will never respond to their customers. The learned how to deal with customers from AOL.

    The only reason I could see for it being in Violation is if it was posted in the wrong category. Other than that, I see no violation.

    Use the link in the Violation Notice Email and appeal to Customer Care. You need to do this even though you will only get the standard canned email.

    Go here and ask the Yahoo Answers Team to review the violation. If valid, they will tell you why. I not valid, they will notify CC of this fact and ask them to reevaluate and correct the violation. If you didn't do the appeal to CC, CC will deny the YAT's request. They figure you are admitting guilt since you didn't appeal to them.

    You did not violate any guidlines. This is often the work of Reporter Trolls who zap you within a minute of hitting the boards Yahoo don't sweep down from above and delete thousands of questions. They have to have abuse reports first. Go to "Appeal a Violation Notice" in Forum. You won't hear from them but you might get points back. Isn't that just as good?

    Not me! There do seem to be a lot of weird things like this going on lately. Do you think someone is hacking into the site or something?

    I've never been violated. Guess I'm a virgin. I can give you the number of a good therapist.

    They deleted your question because some narrow minded idiot reported it in the first place.

    They don't seem to investigate, they just delete
