WHY DOES YAHOO! ANSWERS DO THIS?

Most but Not all deletions are due to violations. Other reasons are --:::::The asker removed the question .:::: If there was no answers after 4 days, your question will be removed and no email sent

:::Your question was Answered, but the voters chose "No Best Answer" your 5 points will be returned.No email sent.

::::::::Best Answer reported as a violation, in that case the question is removed also, no email sent. ::::::::When a question is deleted, all of the answers, including the best answer, are deleted as well. Check your activity tab on your profile page. If there is nothing about a violation there and you didn't receive an email, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons.

you received violation notices: All it takes is 2 "trusted" members to report you and the bots remove it appeals are often a waste of time and points. Some suggestions, If you haven't done so, edit you info so your questions and answers are hidden that way it makes it harder for trolls who enjoy reporting violations or presumed violations to stalk you. Also, avoid pages with controversial subjects such as religion, homosexuality, racism, pornography, any hatred, downloading movies or music, questions about drugs even soft drugs, etc. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal Don't give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Pay attention to the definitions of "chatting and solicitation , and what constitutes a question" Never insult another member, call them names or post anything in questionable taste. If you believe you are being stalked go to other categories. You might also consider changing your avatar and i.d.

If your posts show any semblance or insinuation of bigotry, hatred, sermonizing or ranting you can pretty much assume they will be reported and deleted.

Yahoo will not give any specifics when a question or answer is deleted.

Violation Reason: Misuse of the question and answer format

It's not yahoo answers that is doing this.It's most likely 2 users that are reporting.

many sections have their own cliche,If someone doesn't fit in your liable for false reporting.

But of course we don't know what your questions were either.

Yahoo is a private company and can set it's own guidelines and bend them as they see fit. Insulting Micheal jackson can get the question pulled too.

i highly doubt its Y!A maybe you leave your account on and your sister or brother deleted the question to be funny uh i can never leave my account on or that will happen lol or maybe (possibly) a hacker but i highly doubt that maybe the answer got no questions or Y!A just didn't like it cuz the answer or question was innapropriate?

i've had 2 deleted yesterday & 1 today so don't feel bad/all of them were answers..

They delete it if the question is inappropriate or if answers are inappropriate.

THATS cuz ppl reported ure ques probably-- it heppened with me-- ppl do it without any reason sometimes u no
