What's it mean if you go to a profile & get "Oops The information you are looking for is not available"?

Does that mean the user's account has been deleted? Does it mean the user has marked their profile as private? Just what does it mean?

The times I've encountered this are when I was checking to see what other questions or answers a troll may have posted.

Update:

I have tried reloading the page when this happens and the same message is displayed.

I've even gone back to it several days later and get the same thing.

Don, I suspect you hit it on the head - the account is probably suspended.

I had a friend try to get to the profile and he got the same message. As result, I doubt it is because we are both blocked by the user, as he has had nothing to do with any of the user's questions or answers.

As I said, this has happened only when I go to look at a troll's profile to see there are other questions or answers which violate community standards.

Update 2:

Bingalee,

My "Top Contributor" is for answers in the Cat section, not the Yahoo Products sections.

There is no reason to assume that someone does or does not know all the ends and outs of Yahoo Answers regardless of their points total or level.

I thought it had to do with the account being deleted or such but I had to ask to make sure and thus my question.

This is a place to ask questions - right?

The only stupid question is one that is not asked.

I didn't know so I asked a question about it.

    It means that the account has been suspended. It's quite common with troll and spammer accounts. Suspending an account doesn't automatically remove all the posts associated with it. It still takes reports to remove orphaned posts that are in violation.

    suggestion is fairly the comparable as records - this is a sort of suggestion. it is composed of each and each little thing it fairly is definitely-known some project count extensive form, yet on its own isn't rather sensible. understanding is the sensible synthetic from suggestion located which contain a context in ideas. Synthesizing the uncooked suggestion into groupings and formats that make journey mutually - a bypass chart exhibiting troubleshooting steps, a spreadsheet of financial figures, a record exhibiting which workers are paid over $35000/twelve months in sales - creates understanding. Edit: Neither of those on their own is understanding, which will perhaps be a 0.33 class. understanding is the retained understanding and determination-making skills to persist with what's properly-known and prepare it to making techniques in a context. E.g. A senior supervisor knows the what financial outcomes propose for the business enterprise indoors the near to destiny by way of actual fact he has studied previous comments, industry guides, business enterprise admin concept, and so on. A poker participant folds his hand by way of actual fact he sees his opponent glancing over and over on the glass on the table (suggestion) and interprets it by way of actual fact the single of his opponent's 'tells' (understanding).

    Maybe.

    There are 3 reasons for it:

    1. Is deleted as you say.

    2.They may have blocked you.

    3. Yahoo glitch - this will work if you refresh the page.

    I can't believe that two TCs don't realise that means the account has been suspended. Don is right, that's exactly what it means, it's NOT a glitch

    Not really.

    It's one of the glitches in Yahoo! Answers. This happens to other people who encounter it.

    Don't worry! Yahoo! Answers will fix that.
