do you ever misuse the question and answer format?

That's what they said.

It's a matter of interpretation. What some consider chat, I consider a valid question. I can honestly say I don't misuse it nearly as much as some who have a mean streak a mile wide.

I think Yahoo would say most of us misuse the format, in one way or another.

I know what you man. I once 'asked' a question but used the phraseology of 'soliciting your opinion and thoughts' when Iffy responded that "I may not" and that my question "Misuse of Question and Answer Format". Five minutes later I was deleted and got a violation notice. THAT is why, with the exception of only two TCs, I sincerely believe the rest are just glorified trolls. Appeal is just a joke. It's the equivalent to having your family judge a beauty contest with your kid; you know it's a moot point.

Apparently.

Hm that depends on what you mean. Do I ever use yahoo answers for things other than educational purposes or advise? No, no I do not.

Or do you mean that do I ask one question to get the answer to another in real life? Yes, yes I do.

Omg! they sent me a question violation with that reason once, but I wasnt misusing anything .

Yeah, apparently I do because I get about 5-10 of those violations a day. I don't even try appealing anymore.

Yep. I always tell Yahoo to format my azz.

probably. i am too lazy to read what the format actually should be so i have no clue

Yes, all the time.

They shouldn't even have a stupid format!!

Yes, apparently they don't like it if you laugh at a joke
