'Missuse of the Question and Answer Format' - is that just Yahoo's polite way of suggesting to me I go to?

It's the Yam-turd's loop hole. Even the cleverest of users can be taken down with that violation, because anything falls into that category if "they" want it to.

You quite simply have no idea at all how hard it is to keep everyone happy.

Gee, you had a post pulled.... get over it. Are you actually under the delusion that everyone has to agree with your interpretation of a post or even your interpretation of Yahoo's policy. Are you that thin skinned? You probably don't belong on any forum. My suggestion, shake it off and move on with your life. How important is this to you that you want to press the issue. It is Yahoo's site and they graciously let you use it. So someone complained and they edited one of your posts. Stop whining and grow up. Someone will probably pull this one as well. In the end, you don't get free speech if someone thinks you have violated the community guidelines. Whether or not you actually have is not up for debate. Whether someone thinks you have is all that matters. That may be an administrator and it may simply be another poster or two who reported you. Why make an issue out of it. Do you imagine that you have something so important to say? No one should touch your posts? Please. If you have a question you can send and inquiry to Yahoo. I know this because I have had several of my posts jerked as well. Frankly speaking, I have been able to see their point on several and think they moved the bar a bit on a couple as well. Still, as I actually moderate another site, I fully understand how hard it is to please all the people all the time. Take advantage of the site and don't get so bent if someone happens to disagree with you.

Yahoo! apparently has a definition of "question" that is not consistent with any common understanding of the term. I've recently had the same question deleted, reinstated, then deleted again and refused reinstatement ------ by the same alleged "person" on the "Customer Care" staff. Yahoo! personnel don't follow their own rules. That's just a fact.

Anything that has NO GOOD REASON... that is the reason. ;) saves time for the Yamster *****. I am going to have some yamster for dinner now.

They let lots of stuff fly here, in R&S anyway. Why start discriminating? Stick around though... except for their messenger. It's gotten awful.

No doubt the yamster has been in overdrive these past couple of weeks.

That ******* Y hamster is about to have her site shut down/given away for abuse of the people. I hope it is soon too.

I'm surprised, this account of mine has over 50 violations, but here I am!

I am waiting for Google to relaunch its new stylish answers site !

yeah, I got one today. they were right though...I slipped up and just gave some snarky response without really attempting to answer.
