Has anyone else been getting valid answers deleted?

It's not the first time but I'm really irritated this time because it was a good answer and yet I've been sent a violation notice "Violation Reason:Not a Question or Answer"

It seems that someone didn't LIKE the answer and reported it for that reason. I'm complaining of course but based on last time I don't expect that to do any good.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Update:

Question: What are your thoughts about kids/young teenagers that are homeschooled?

Question Details: Im writing a persuasive speech and im againest homewschooling and I want to survey your opinions!! *WRITE ME WHATEVER COMES TO YOUR MIND ABOUT THIS ISSUE! SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE ME A GREAT ANSWER GETS 10 BEST ANSWER POINTS!

Update 2:

Deleted Answer: Sorry to hear you pulled the loosing side of the argument, but in a way that's good, it makes it more of a challenge. You'll have a hard time finding any research to back your side, because there isn't any. So you'll have to fight dirty, twist the facts, quote people who are anti-HS but highlight their qualifications and ignore the vested interests. You should be able to find lots of quotes from teaching union reps and similar saying how only qualified teachers can possibly teach. Cast a few aspersions on the wacky religious and the new age hippies who choose to HS and how their values are messed up. Then suggest kids who can't cope with school are mentally ill and need professional help and you should have a speech. Just put your morals aside and try to think like a politician!

    It happens to a lot of us. What was your answer (and the question you were answer)? You can't assume someone reported it because they didn't like your answer. It could have been for something they thought was a violation. That still doesn't make them right, especially if you're positive it isn't a violation. There are so many darn rules, sometimes we are unaware we have violated anything. So be absolutely sure you know the Community Guidelines and that your answer wasn't a violation. Tell us here (question AND answer) and someone will surely know.

    I don't see anything wrong with your answer. The question is more in violation... there really is no question.

    sure! I have been given one deleted too (Im beneficial i could have had extra deleted yet purely asked one interior the final week) I under no circumstances have been given an digital mail or something yet I observed the violation observe and 10 factor removing in my account precis. It replaced right into a very severe considerable question and have been given rather some replies! I dont think of there is rather something you're able to do, the allure technique is detrimental basically like the reporting gadget. - the respond guy.

    Yes I used to get that but now I obey the Yahoo answers community guidelines therefore I've not had a violation in months.
