How long does an appeal take?

Six days ago, one of my answers was unfairly reported as 'abuse', in the Cooking and Recipes' section. I simply posted a recipe for bread pudding, and cited the source where I found the recipe.

When I received the email notice from Yahoo, I immediately appealed, and have been waiting for a response ever since. Since there is no 'Contact Us' option here, how do I find out the status of this? Are appeals usually ignored?

Update:

I do check my spam folder daily; I'm a mod/admin on a Christian discussion forum, and I know that automatic emails are frequently filtered.

I'm just miffed that my reply will be of no use, if it is re-instated, as the questioner wanted to use up some stale muffins. Oh, well; I'll just continue to answer questions as they come up...

    Appeals are not usually ignored, but YA is even more short-staffed than previously and that may be affecting response time. You should check your SPAM folder, though, in case the response went there. But your really can't follow-up on the issue; you just have to be patient and move on in the meantime. I had one appeal granted - after 3.5 MONTHS once. LOL!

    The Yahoo! Answers team says within 48 hours, but sometimes it can take much longer. but don't worry you will get a response eventually.

    and check your spam folder it may of been placed there accidentally.

    Appeals can take several months as there is an enormous backlog.

    The only appeals that are decided within a week, because they are urgent, are suspension appeals.

    My experience is that appeals are mostly ignored or dismissed.
