Why do I get a violation?

i hope this answers your question. This may help you avoid future violations. All it takes is 2 "trusted" members to report you and the bots remove it appeals are often a waste of time and points. however if you are very sure you have been wronged by all means appeal it, the link is below. 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. Even the polls section. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal Don't give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Do not use language you wouldn't use when talking to your grandmother and that should keep you safe in that regard. Referring others as a moron, stupid idiot Nazi, retard or anything in that vein is derogatory and insulting to other members and clearly against the guidelines. Pay attention to the definitions of "chatting and solicitation , and what constitutes a question" Never insult another member, call them names, threaten, harass deliberately mislead or post anything in questionable taste.

Should you have axe to grind, agenda or cause to promote be it political religious social or anything similar, no matter how well intentioned you may be, this is the wrong place to promote it.

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.

The people that work for Yahoo don't come here to Yahoo Answers and read this. If the appeal link in your email does not work, try this link:

If it still does not work for you, clear ALL your cache files and reboot the computer and see if that works. Appeal politely, concisely and state exactly WHY your answer does NOT violate the rules, stating the rules as you do so to show you are familiar with them. Castigating the staff, whining, complaining, or otherwise either simply pleading innocence or asking why it was a violation -- don't work.

Chill. I obtained one too for opposing the BNP; simply by means of posting a record of the entire lawbreaking incidents in their officers/supporters. Someone else published a identical record in these days, so I'm joyful if my eleven facets wakes up a couple of persons to what they're all approximately. I've most effective ever acquired 3 violations and feature challenged 2 of them, with out a answer both so do not keep your breath Sonia C.

It is ridicules that "violations" work the way they do. The appeal process is a joke you might as well forget it.
