In the Philippines section : Why was my answer deleted, similar answers not?
To the question "How do you word your text messages", I got a violation notice for this answer:
ung txt mesgs q r d shrtst posibl. Kc hnd ksya pg spelt out. Bsyds u r nt in f u spel evry word. Aq I txt w/o lukng at d fon. Frenz q mas mtindi mgtxt. smtyms d q magetz. ung ayw dis styl bduy.
I figured that the best way to answer was to answer in text format, which as it turns out is a violation because "it is not in the English language".
Yet, looking at the other answers, there were similarly constructed replies. Why do people zero in on some, reporting just people they don't know ? If other similarly constructed answers were reported and deleted, then that would be fair. It feels bad.
Here are the other answers:
The question is "why similarly constructed replies" were not reported as violation. Of course I can write in full, correct English.

you forgot to translate it in English and you're not alone hehehehe my answer on that question has been reported and deleted as well
This site is not ours and not all of us do text just learn your lesson and not do it again. If you think it is not a violation you can always appeal to Yahoo Answers.

now and then all people comes in the variety of violation notices. It happens often while one tries to respond to a stupid question which makes little experience in any respect. additionally once you place on the orange badge you generate lot of jealousy around you. this actual question which you communicate with is of same breed that I talk. None could have given a setting up reaction with out overstepping somewhat on community policies. Do you think of its mandatory to punish the superb answer besides via bringing that query to limelight? besides, you may and could challenge the violation which you have faith is unjustified.

Well, I could see you have a problem there. No offense meant but I myself can't read your message clearly and maybe the Yahoo team thought the same. Anyway, don't feel bad about it. I had many violations in the past even if it wasn't my fault but I had to take it with a grain of salt. Cheer up, it isn't the end of the world yet.

You may not have been reported.
From what I understand Yahoo has a filter that can delete answers or questions that don't meet Yahoo's guidelines. For e.g. if you write out a question without using "?" I am sure your question will be deleted.

Yea,it's obviously a violation on the Y!A community guidelines. Next time, make it sure that if you use Tagalog or other language you attached the English translation along with it. <*-*>

the simple answer is that somebody reported you.
& it is of course a violation as you already indicated. so someone out there might have a grudge on you & reported you.
moral, do not violate the rules & nobody will report you.
ps: it wasnt me

Maybe there are some misunderstanding and as i read the resolved question, the asker emphasize the sentence:
"Am I the only one who gets annoyed in reading text"
Meaning, the asker was annoyed receiving or reading message same format as you write it. Got it?
Maybe next time, write legibly. Besides Y!A answer box provide you a bigger space and write whatever you want but please don't includes rudeness on it....:)

I had been staying out of Philippines YA because I notice that there are some people who only allow their own circle of friends to post answers. I had my answer deleted and got barred by the questioner in turn. Like I had stated before in one of my answers on this site, there are people who are making this into their personal site. They are not opening it for outside people to share their views.
You may be in the same boat.

Just 'maybe', someone reported you and violated the guidelines. If this was the case, others were not reported.
Play it safe next time.
Take it easy.
