why are my questions being deleted?

I posted in the video games section looking for someone to play world of warcraft with using their refer a friend option, the question was quickly removed.

Nothing in the post was perverse, asked for any kind of personal information from people or was against Blizzards(world of warcraft) own TOS.

I see people on the video games sections looking for people to play other multiplayer games with, their questions not being deleted.

Why are mine?

Update:

I also had a question about mens fashion, about whether a specific kind of tie and shirt would go well together. and that too was removed...

Update 2:

i responded to the emails that i got from yahoo about it.

    Asking for someone to 'play with' is considered chatting, sorry. Those types of questions are not allowed on the site, as explained in the rules (Community Guidelines).

    Just because others seem to get away with something temporarily on the site does not make it right. It's kind of like speeding: we all speed, some get caught now, some later, some get by sometimes. But speeding is still wrong.

    As to the 2nd question, without full details of the question, I can't speculate, but 'chatting' is the #1 violation on this site, so I'd figure it might be that again.

    Do you have a sample of what kind of questions they were?

    I think your mens fashion question may have been removed because some people would think that it is not a question if you asked it in the format of "does this tie and shirt go together"

    Don't know why people report questions or even answers, sometimes trolls lurk around reporting people for no reason.

    Questions must seek knowledge or advice. You may not solicit anyone for anything. You game question was a solicitation. Just because some get by does not make them legit.

    You clothing question again is considered chat since you asked for an opinion. Opinions are not allowed Suggest you read the guidelines and take the quiz

    From what you say you should not be singled out for anything. Contact Yahoo Answers. Only they know.
