I want to appeal a violation notice but I can't get past their silly code.?

Question

I think that is something to discourage people from appealing a wrongful violation.  Have you had this problem?  I think I did at least 15 tries.

You might want to state what the question or answer was that was a violation before appealing.  Many times we think something we posted isn't a violation, only to find out it was.

Here's an appeal form if you're positive you weren't in violation:

You can try this. WHERE TO APPEAL
1: some notices do not have a link with which to appeal. In these cases, send your appeal on this form:

HOW TO APPEAL
DO
1: keep it very brief, and very polite
2: keep to the facts - mention why you believe your content was NOT a violation (either of the one "Reason" on the VN, or of the CG in general)
DO NOT
3: talk about how other content left up is worse than yours
4: talk about how upset/angry/sad/disgusted you are
5: accuse Yahoo of bias or censorship
6: make threats to Yahoo or their staff
