Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas is not a question. But you're asking a question now and I will add to my answer by saying "Merry Christmas To You."

What you did was a violation of Community Guidelines ..... chatting.
Although your intentions were well meant, this forum is to be used for asking questions only.
In the violation email you received from Yahoo, you should find a link to click to "appeal" their decision to remove your question. But frankly speaking, I don't think you'd win the appeal.
Yahoo itself, does not monitor this site very closely, so at least 2 people would have had to report your question before it got removed.

The community is governed by the community members. all it would have taken is someone to have decided not to have liked your question, and it would be gone, they really dont need a good reason.
but, Merry christmas. And have a happy new year.

Because there are some jerks on here -- but yes, it does violate because you didn't ask a question -- you would have been considered "chatting" which isn't allowed. Some people are petty on here too.

If it may make you experience greater effective, than pass forward. If I mentioned "Your going to the finished marketplace" is that offensive? Hell is in basic terms a place-the place unbelievers in Christ ensue to spend eternity. How can somebody who says your going to hell be offensive? The life of hell isn't the factor, neither is the life of the food market. in case you have not got self assurance in hell, why could you care, lol?

didn't see your question, but i have encountered some similar activity.
some smucks find something objectionable to their pathetic way of thinking and report it.
after several reports (don't know how many) it automatically is removed.
i don't think there is any human intervention of guidance in the process.
sort of the smallest minds rule.
