Violation Reason:Not a Question or Answer
I agree with all of you. This is supposed to be fun. I really did intend on going back and giving a better answer but I didnt even get a chance to do that. Oh well.

I do not know why people are so touchy? Sadly, some people on Answers copy other peoples answer and try to touch it up so it looks their own. That should be reported. Even some answers or questions that have things that SHOULD be reported never get deleted. Like someone else said, you should talk to a Y!A staff representative and ask them why it was deleted. It could be appealed. Like Rizzo said in the movie Grease "Some people are just so touchy". And I personally DONT see how someone could actually reported that answer. I am just sometimes so shocked at some Y!A users.

I don't see how this could be a violation, you gave an honest answer since you had not seen the movie yet. Some people are just pathetic and it doesn't help that the violation team doesn't do a better job at checking out the reports.

That's weird. Sometimes people answer questions just to get the two points. For instance: Question- Has anyone seen ...? Answer- No. Now why would that person even answer? Just for the two points. That kind of answer makes some people mad. That's probably what happened on your answer. I don't agree that your answer should have been reported.

Are you sure it's not one of your fans pullin that crap on you? That's what it looks like to me. I had this happening for awhile. I was always getting thumbs down right away for every single question I asked and one day I got 4 of my questions deleted in a row. I did a clean up of my fans (some of whom I had no idea who they even were or when they were even added as fans) and the problem stopped asap. Watch that one for sure. People see one answer of yours they DON'T like and they will tag along after you through answers causing drama once they add themsevles to your Q & A. So weird. Also, if you haven't already hide all of your Q & A. Hope this helps. That SUCKS!

QUESTIONS ANSWERS DELETED
It probably had nothing to do with your answer. It was probably the trolls on here just going through and reporting abuse. All it takes is 2 reports and your question or answer will be deleted. Appeal the violation. I just got one I appealed it and I won. Good luck!!!
