Poll: Why was my question about lunch removed?

I asked what people were doing for lunch and shared that I was having Brie cheese and rolls, and it got deleted, yet other questions that are just as inane if not more so, stay.

POLL: Why does this happen and has it ever happened to you?

Is it because some troll violated me, or what? Either way, I feel violated. My poor question never had a chance in this world, and was robbed of its existence and a chance to benefit the Y!A community by coming up with new ideas for what to eat.

Update:

I've never once gotten an email sent to me whenever a question (silly or serious) was removed. It's frustrating because I don't have an option to appeal. It's like when my questions get dropped they're done so by the Y!A Supreme Court or something and there are no appeals.

    Here's some information for you. You can decide what it all means. Deal?

    I had a level seven account and picked up a stalker, who shall remain nameless because you can't post troll account names. Anyway... I started getting a lot of violations. One day... I got 29 violations in a row.. all in less than half an hour. Lost that account, while I was using it.

    Later.. picked up the same stalker again and lost my second account. Now, I fought back and am being left alone.

    Many questions are reported by people who make it a goal to be trusted reporters. Your question was an easy target because... it doesn't benefit the community... it is considered chat and chat is the easiest to report.

    Don't look for fairness or equality on this site because it's not happening. Some of those questions that haven't been reported, reporters will find ways to report them... even after best answer is picked.. even months later.

    Edit: new ideas for what to eat. Word your question differently. Ask in a way that makes it worthy of this lovely site.

    Example: What is a good lunch that many like? If you add details, make it simple or wait until later to add details. It's just an example, not perfect or great. :)

    Go appeal your question, Go to your email and the violation notice will be there and it will give you the option to appeal your question and if they see nothing wrong with it, it'll be put back up. I did this and mine got put back up and it had a ton of curses in it, mind you. I felt so happy. :D But seriously, do that. It should work, just make it persuasive enough. And the reason some people report harmless questions are because they're old farts and have nothing to do. At all.

    Trolls hate brie... Heck, I hate brie, but that doesn't make me a troll.

    Like that guy said, don't mention brie here... ;)

    Maybe appeal it!

    yes it happens to everybody

    your question got reported probably by a troll

    if it was by Yahoo! they would tell you probably chatting as a reason

    but almost anything we do on here can be considered chatting
