    If it was against the guidelines someone could have reported. If someone does not like your question/answer all they have to do is report it. Good questions/answers get deleted all the time on here. The trolls are really bad about reporting good questions/answers to get them deleted. All it takes is 2 reports to get a question/answer deleted. If your question does not receive answers in the 4 days it can also be deleted. Chatting is the number one reason for questions to be deleted. . Yahoo wants this site to be for knowledgeable questions and answers. Questions that you would be the only person to benefit from the answers is considered chatting and not allowed. If you have not appealed go here to fill out the form to appeal your violation.

    To aid you, you must post the violation e-mail for us to see. The most likely reasons are asking the question in a chatting format or you gave a sermon as part of the question, which can be considered a rant. Many ways to violate the rules no matter the subject of your post.

    In my opinion, the people hired to view the reasons for removals or complaints work a little harder or be more people. I've been hit by this and as a result I just wanted to delete my account at answers. Turned out I couldn't without deleting my entire yahoo account, so I stayed away for 3 months instead.
