    no staff to research so they take the trolls word for it. Happens a lot in Yahoo products for some reason. Maybe trolls have reached the top levels were they have infiltrated & influence privately plotting a revolution. I will give you a star tho it may not last.

    It's hard to judge when we don't know what the question was that you answered. If someone asked if people knew how to do something or why something situation happens, and you answered "No", then that would be a violation. It could have been worded in such a way it looked like a question that required a yes or no answer, but something like that would be a question that was clearly looking for a specific answer/help with something. Without knowing what the quesiton was, it's hard to answer your question. If my example is the type of question asked, then your answer would be considered "point-gaming", which is considered a form of cheating.. answering just for the 2 points, which is a more serious violation. Again... I don't know what the question was that you were answering, so I can't be sure if that's what it was

    If an answer you gave was in violation you lose 10 points for the violation and then 2 points for the deleted answer, you can appeal it if you think they removed it in error you do this through the e-mail they sent.

    it probably depends on your answer because if it is bad then they will take off a small amount of points, if it is really bad then they will probably take off a lot of points.
