What in god's name does "question deleted - no best answer 5 points" mean"?

I'm getting loads of them.

Is this one of yahoo's "improvements"?

...

Update:

Oh god help us, Scooterpoop's a TC.

I thought maybe malicious people are deliberately voting "no best answer" to maliciously remove them.

Maybe it's you?

...

Update 2:

((((((Meddy))))))

It just means you have a life mate!

:-D

    If it goes into voting, and either there are no answers or a plurality of people vote for "No Best Answer," then the question gets deleted and your points get refunded.

    I think it means that your question was in voting and since no one picked a best answer, it automatically got deleted, thus minus 5 points for some weird reason.

    And on top of that, I only receive an email to appeal about 20% of the violations I get.

    If a Q gets no answers, eventually you get the points refunded in full.

    I ask in the box How come ?

    I have noticed a lot of questions not posting lately.

    If the question does not post it is eventually struck out.

    I suspect it is their filters being overly zealous.

    They return the 5 points if no one answers. I guess you had a backlog.
