When I receive a YA! violation and I try to view question, it won't show me. How do I learn anything?

I think this is my first violation ever and I have no idea which question (cause it won't show me) or why. How am I supposed to learn to be a better YA! contributor?

    You should get an email within 48 hours with the question. Before that you can look in your activity to see what was removed. If you want to know the reason for the violation, post "Why was this question (answer) a violation?" and add the original e-mail you got so the users can see the exact context. The experienced users here will explain it to you. There is no statute of limitations on breaking the YA rules.

    Click the my activity tab at the top of the page, click My Q&A and look for the question that is grayed out.

    That is the one that has been reported.
