Why was my first question in seniors reported?

I've read the guidelines. I'm here seeking your contributions to my questions and I also hope my answers will help others.

Is this some kind of initiation?

I appealed and it has been restored.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqMsg...

I also posted another question (different category). The first answer was a page of spam so I deleted that one my self.

Update:
Update 2:

My profile is open.

The question was: Has the computer begun to lose its luster?

Update 3:

JoAnne- Thank you for that update. My account is 2 days old.

    Welcome to "seniors"; sorry, but that's how it is.

    I maintain that we have a member here that is depressed, and this is how he/she gets a "lift".

    It's a power thing. A lonely soul that is perhaps without medication.

    Maybe he/she does not even realize the mental illness that affects them.

    The tiny bit of gratification that they get from something so small as a "violation" on legitimate users, is well worth it.

    Can you imagine living with that person?

    When he/she is here, someone else is getting a huge break.

    Thank you for contributing.

    I don't know why that question was deleted. I don't even remember seeing it. The most innocuous questions are deleted here all the time, so don't feel bad. Y/A is very fickle. Welcome, BTW. I've only been on the internet for about a year, but things seem to be going well so far, and we have good anti-virus programs. Just don't click on any links you're not sure of, and never on spam, and links from new accounts can be suspect, too. Give it a little time.

    no longer a real senior, we don't! Our mothers taught us stable manners starting to be up. So all of us understand greater advantageous than to be rude, or crude, in public, particularly. So we strategies our P's and Q's, un- like others who come to bypass to now and then. no one asks or says something to rile yet another in this section. We comprehend one yet another. If anyone does not and shows it, they get suggested for offending or breaking between the YA regulations. it is so elementary as that. As to what our 'medicine' may be, it is the trip season, and toddler it is chilly outdoors. So it is warm buttered rum, or egg nog with a sprint kick to it to get warmed up interior. keep the Baileys for brand spanking new Years Eve rather.

    About a week or so ago one or more people were going through all the categories and deleting what they thought was wrong. They were not hired by Yahoo to do this. Yahoo finally caught on and has put a stop to it.

    You're in good company. :) I've had questions deleted and reported.

    A couple were because they said they weren't questions. ?

    Don't worry about it. It's happened to the best of us. Not that i"m the best, I just know I wasn't trying to break rules, or be obnoxious.

    You probably made some sense and it was deleted. The only time you are safe is when you talk about how you like your oatmeal.

    I thought your question to be of interest, and clearly presented, that's why I replies to it. I'm glad it was restored.

    The reasons given by others seem applicable.

    Cheers.

    Someone petty who thinks above his station took some kind of offence to it.
