Yugioh Question / about Yahoo Answers?
I have posted many of my questions here and many of them have gotten removed when i have done nothing out of the ordinary (Like Cussing or Racism) to make them do so, what could be the problem; does someone out there in the community hate me or not like what i am posting. I need your guys help on this its like 1/3 question i post gets removed.
Also concerning the mater. Does it actually have to be a question or can it be like a Yugioh Contest?
Here is My Contest..(This is Not an Add and is a positive link to the YGO community)

Unfortunately, the rules in YA (the Community Guidelines) are a bit more complex than "no cursing or racism".
The Questions have to respect the "question format". This means that:
- It must be an actual knowledge-seeking question,
- It must not be chatty (like asking "What are you eating today?"),
- It can't be a rant (i.e., when the post is a statement rather than a question, i.e. "I hate hot dogs, don't you agree?"),
- It can't be a request for people to do anything other than answering a question. This means that "Will you rate my story?" or "Will you pray for me?" are not valid YA questions.
- It can't consist of an invitation for the users to go somewhere else and play a contest, listen to music or watch a video, etc. That is considered "soliciting".
If the kind of things you're interested in are discussing Yugioh, having contests, etc., then YA is not the best place to do that. Perhaps you could create a Yahoo Group or even start your own website about it :-)
Of course, if, after reading the Community Guidelines (there's a link at the bottom of each page), you think that your questions were not violations, you should appeal the deletions. But remember, it doesn't matter if you've seen similar or worse violations, that won't serve as an excuse or help you win an appeal.
