why would someone do this?

Somebody had nothing better to do than be a jerk. I'm sorry. I'm eating pancakes with chocolate chips =)

Yahoo has turned this site into a free for all. reporting and stalking trolls are allowed as long as they report even minor violations that Yahoo agrees with. The second appeal is gone.. most first appeals never get read.. so... what does anyone have to really lose by reporting it?

It's not an offensive question, but some Top Reporters know it will fall into the chatting violations and can't wait to report it.

Breakfast here is going to be chicken and rice. : ) I am not normal! lol

Maybe wires got crossed, somehow. Just be careful in the future to word your questions to make them look like you aren't chatting. maybe ask like this~ 'I need some ideas for a good healthy breakfast; can anyone help?' This way you are trying to acquire information and not just passing the time of day. Hope this helps you some. Oh and by the way, I am having some pretzels for breakfast. I know, I know, it is not a great thing to eat for breakfast, but it is early and I will get something better later. Peace baybee. (chatchatchatchat)....oops!! :)

Yes, I just answer someone that that was a good question and I have no idea to the answer. I was reported and I appealed and Yahoo customer services say the violation stands, I violate the community guideline!!!??? was really suck!!!!

Don't worry, honey, sometimes if you read the community guidelines, then you will know, maybe it did not sound like a question.

I gave an answer once, and it did not sound like an answer, and I got reported for that also.

No biggie, just move on and get those points! :-)

It would'nt offend me for sure..Its a simple average question that cannot cause offence I think..

Sadly Yahoo are allowing this nonsense to continuously happen and its getting sillier by the day..

I just ate leftover fried chicken from grocery store and generic apple juice todays breakfast combo.

They think it's chatting. I've had the same when I asked what people were having for their tea.

And I don't normally have breakfast, but I had weetabix bitesize this morning. chat chat chat.

It's chatting. To avoid that add some more detail to the question or tack a poll to it.

It doesn't have to be offensive to be against the community guidelines. By asking this question, you won't get any useful information, which is considered as chatting.
