Yahoo Answers Mods?

I ask a question the other day about why it is that people who preach tollerance are the least tollerent? After 3 days YA pulled my question and the 75+ answers along with it. Now they are on a quest to send delete every answer I post on YA. I spnd most of my time in the Hunting section. I posted an answer to a person wanting to excede safety limits while reloading ammunition they deleted my answer stating it was not a answer. I found another question that sounded like chewbacca talking and I mearly fixed the grammer and spelling. Ding another viloation. I have had 5 violations since the question I asked that they did not like. So why is YA pickin on me? How much you want to bet that they delete this in a matter of days?

Update:

I did reread the community guidelines and the terms of service agreement.

My question violated none of them.

I asked my question and gave examples of the problems. I guess Yahoo just does not like to hear the truth that that are biased.

Update 2:

Well maybe if people would use half way good grammer and spelling people would not have to do it for them.

Got to love American Public schools.

    It is most likely NOT the YA team, but rather someone on the site doing this (possibly someone who disliked your first question and is now 'stalking' you).

    First, you need to re-read the Community Guidelines:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines...

    to see if the violations you received are valid. Remember, chatting, solicitation, pointgaming and 'not a question/answer' are some of the reasons this may happen, that people are unaware of. If you are answering questions by 'correcting' grammar, that is 'not an answer', since you did not ANSWER the question itself when you did this.

    Also, check the HELP page about the CGs for even further clarification: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/abuse/

    If after reading the CGs you still feel that the violations are not valid, you can appeal them. If you received a violation notice from customer care and would like to contest it, please email answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com.

    If you received a violation notice because the community removed your question or answer, you must appeal through the link included in the notification.

    Finally, you may need to make your Q&A private and/or 'clean up' your fans list, in case a stalker is hiding there, reporting your Q&A. However, on this site, 5 violations is not really all that many -- there are some folks here that get that many in ONE DAY.

    From what I understand, maximum removals are computerized. If 2 human beings click on "checklist Abuse" it will be deleted. i do no longer think of all of us easily gets in touch except you opt to contest it. same with questions that don't happen. keywords or hyperlinks to specific web content will end the wuestion from posting.
