The user is specifically asking for people to find a song for their friend, answering with the answer you showed us is considered Chat & also it is not answering the question at all.
It is in violation of the community guidelines for chatting & not answering the question, all she did was talk about random other things.

The BA became stated as a contravention - no digital mail despatched. 4. throughout vote casting, "No perfect answer" became chosen because of the fact the perfect answer - no digital mail despatched. look on your digital mail, which comprise the unsolicited mail folder, for a contravention digital mail. If no longer there, verify your interest tab on your profile. If no longer something some violation there, then the Q became bumped off for one among the different motives.

You know, that answer touches on the non-spoken rule at Yahoo! - that is, the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law. The letter of the law says that you can't answer with chatty non answers, but the spirit of the law recognizes that someone asking a question where they are concerned about a friend might make answers that are just encouraging words okay.
I guess if you wanted to adhere to the specific terms of service, then it's just chat, and illegal. But, really, in this context, it's pretty much okay.
Good question, by the way.

yes, it's a chatting "answer"...but personally I wouldn't really mind it. It may be a useless answer and may violate the rules but the person seems to be concerned and it is relevant (not just random spam). If everyone reported every one of those yahoo would probably crash.

She half answered by saying that the other person should find a song from themselves, especially just for the person in need, in other words a dedication. She didn't use the dedication but I think that's what she meant to imply. She didn't supply a song but an alternative. That's my take at least.

I'd leave it. She DID answer the question by saying it would be sweeter to find one from you. If you're ever debating whether or not its a vio, its probably best that you leave it.

It certainly doesn't answer the question, but I don't really think it's a chat.

your wrong it says "if she is your friend i think it would be sweeter to find one from you." thats an answer it is kinda chatty though.

As long as this question is posted in the right category, let's say "Friends", then this answer is OKAY. But if it's not, then it is considered as chatting, because the answer doesn't actually answer the question that is asked.
