Your are reported for a violation and then they go?

How about this? Someone reports one of your answers as a violation and then they go through your archived questions and answers looking for other things they can report.

I just got three. One recent, the others pretty old. All of them very questionable violations. From the same person.

This is behavior targetting an individual, not the answers.

Shouldn't this be a violation in itself?

Update:

By the way, the answers were all from

the R & S category. big surprise, huh?

    This should be punished if you know that stalkers screen name go to answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com. Also to cover your bases, go to "Appeal a Violation Notice" in Forum & Post. Go to Forum & see if deleted Level 7's can shed any light on this.

    It is a violation to do that and that's why YAnswers is a joke because they can't stop the trolls and stupid people and meanwhile all the legitimate users leave the sight. You should make your q's and a's private.

    It probably should be but it is not. Maybe you should make your Q&A on your profile private and that may help.
