Why is it that when I post WoW RaF questions it gets deleted? (World of Warcraft Recruit a Friend)?
But I see everyone else that asks a similar or almost identical question, their question has been up there for months.
This is a hate crime.

Here is a quote from the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines, and it explains the reason your "Recruit-a-Friend" posts are deleted far better than I can:
"Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates ... [I]t is not OK to post links that are ... clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like 'Will you add me as a contact?' or propositioning people."
A "Recruit-a-Friend" post is meant only for personal gain, not for gaining knowledge. Your posts are being reported to the moderators of this Website, and since your posts violate the Community Guidelines, they are being deleted. (The moderators will not delete unreported posts, because they don't have time to look for all of those that violate the law or Community Guidelines.) If other people's questions are left up for months, as you put it, it probably means they haven't been reported yet. Your indignation is as unfounded as that of a driver who is pulled over for speeding, and complains to the officer who pulls him over, "But everyone else is doing it." The fact that "everyone else" is violating the Community Guidelines does not give you free license to do so. - LJS
