How does one manage to have their question deleted er hmm.. (mine for eg)?

You somehow did something wrong. I copy and pasted the bad way to use Y!A from the community guidelines. If you did any of these that is why

Venting, ranting or using hate speech

Yahoo! Answers isn't a soapbox to vent personal frustrations or rant about issues. We are a community of people with diverse beliefs, opinions, and backgrounds, so please be respectful and keep hateful and incendiary comments off Yahoo! Answers. Read more >

Chatting or otherwise violating the question-and-answer format.

Yahoo! Answers is a community of questions and answers, not a chat room. If a post is neither a question nor an answer, it doesn’t belong here. If you’re looking for a place to chat with others, try Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Messenger Chat Rooms. Read more

Being mean or obscene

Because kids as young as 13 may participate in Yahoo! Answers, sexually explicit and vulgar language and images are not welcome on the site. Also not welcome are belligerence, insults, slurs and generally objectionable speech. If you wouldn't say it in public, don't post it on Answers. Read more

Exploiting the community

Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like "Will you add me as a contact?" or propositioning people. Read more

Cheating

Our points system is meant to reward the community members for sharing questions and answers, so creating multiple accounts or posting content for the sole purpose of gaining points or soliciting others for points is not permitted. Posting filler answers to a question in an effort to be first to answer, or copying and pasting other members' answers, are also forms of cheating. Read more

Violating the law

Members of Yahoo! Answers are not above the law, so don't post anything that violates the laws of your country, state, province, or city. Don't try to trick people into sharing their personal information, steal anything (like copyright or trademark material), or break into places you shouldn't be. Don't threaten, harass, impersonate, or hurt others, and don't invade other people's privacy. Read more

Behaving maliciously

Don't post links to sites that contain viruses or malicious programs or that interfere with the operation of Yahoo! Answers. Read more

Misusing Answers

Don't create multiple accounts to troll or otherwise violate these guidelines or the Yahoo! Terms of Service. Don't post things that are incomprehensible or in the wrong language, and don't post the same question over and over again. The community depends on you to report abuse and rate questions and answers, so using product features such as report abuse and ratings to target others is not allowed. Read more

Doing harm

Be responsible and don’t misrepresent yourself, claim false credentials or expertise or give advice in a way that might cause someone harm. Don’t incite or advocate violence or harmful practices. Read more

It inevitably happens when you give someone some much deserved stick and they report you. I've received a grand total of two violation notices and they've both happened in the last month.

I have a problem at the moment where I'll ask a question in another section and some damn fool will post a response that is completely and utterly worthless, that doesn't even remotely come close to answering the question, like the example below. It's happened a few times and the first time it happened I poured scorn on the user and subsequently had my question deleted and issued a violation notice.

From my experience, there's no point using Y!A for anything other than opinion.

Hi there,

I haven't been near a computer for awhile and just now found I got a violation and my answer erased. I think this happened because I found fault with our host, yahoo for not stopping a young guy that is verbally harassing senior citizens. For months and months and they let him keep doing it to us. I feel bad that they erased my words but it is up to them to police us good guys too. Just ask them.

The RL section has a troll.

How did you enjoy your time in Auckland and at Mt Smart everything go alright? I know the result would have been satisfying.

Trolls and people who sometimes have an opposite point of view and feel REAL strongly about it . YEP sad and true.

Well if you allow email then I'll tell you.

Something is rotten and it's been around for a few weeks now.

Trolls, that's how. They report your Q using different accounts and it gets deleted.
