Why don't Yahoo! Answers give a reason when sending a user a Violation Notice?

They probably just decided to take the safe route with the removal of your post. Any religious references are probably a hot topic in terms of people's sensitivity. Sometimes they remove posts in error too.

Under Yahoo's policy, they have the right to remove any post in their sole discretion, so they aren't obligated to give a reason, however, I would suggest you write back to them and just ask. I had one of my questions removed, which was simply asking about a Yahoo feature. I replied to their email asking them to explain why it had been removed. They wrote back saying the removal was in error and that they gave me my points back.

It's worth simply asking.

That's ridiculous. And this happens to me a lot also. I get violations for signing onto yahoo answers

No one knows why a faceless organization that uses a filthy rodent in a bath robe as a mascot would do such unjustifiable things. You just have to move on and forget about it. Everyone on this forum gets pointless violations and hates the Yahoo! staff for it. Try to just continue with your routine and forget the lost points.

It's quite simple. They don't care about us. A feeble minded user was offended by the religious reference and reported it. That's all it takes. Tattling is rewarded on Yahoo. But it would take way too much effort i.e. money to have a person actually looking into the tattles.

Well since you typed the whole thing out again you might get reprimanded for the same thing and more points off.

Although after looking at it I guess I don't see what is the violation.

maybe the yahoo!team holds its right not to provide explanations.it's the same for embassies or governments when they turn down someone's request for visa or citizenship.

check under terms of policy about such notion.

i agree, some1 reports bt they dnt even read the question or ur answer. the jst send u a violation notice. xx

welcome to answers this kind of thing happens all the time it is not a fair system and hopefully yahoo are going to change the system♥♥♥

WELL THAT'S YAHOO.
