Questions without answers are removed by Yahoo after 4 days 8 if you extended it or no best answer" won the vote. You don't lose any points.

If you received a violation notice and sometimes you don't : All it takes is 2 "trusted" members. in rare cases only one to report you and the bots remove it. If you are very sure you have been wronged appeal it, the link is below. Some suggestions, If you haven't done so, edit you info so your questions and answers are hidden that way it makes it harder for trolls who enjoy reporting violations or presumed violations to stalk you. Also, avoid pages with controversial subjects such as religion, homosexuality, racism, pornography, any hatred, downloading movies or music, questions about drugs even soft drugs, etc. Even the polls section. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal, talking suicide or threatening others. Don't give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Do not use language you wouldn't use when talking to your grandmother and that should keep you safe in that regard. Referring to others as a moron, stupid idiot Nazi, retard or anything in that vein is derogatory and insulting to other members and clearly against the guidelines.

Good query. Yahoo truthfully has a rule that an reply is needed to adress the query. Example: What colour is the sky? Answer: I like airplaines. Although "I like airplanes." isn't, evidently, offensive, it fails to adress the query in a mildly enough procedure. If readers flag it, yahoo has a mechanism a good way to do away with your reply or query (commonly with none legal man or woman truthfully checking it and pulling the plug on it, I acquire). Flags are a approach and also you can not flag when you abuse it and flag inappropriately, menacingly. (I feel it downgrades the importance of a flag whilst it comes from anybody who flags inappropriately). Yahoo's mechanism has some way of checking your sample of flagging individuals too. Long reply, however, "I don't." is practically the identical as simply answering anybody's query through typing "Hello." Naturally, it most commonly attracted plenty of flags. I do not know both, the title of the music, but when I desired to reply, I might have contributed "I'm taking into consideration elvis and a on line casino for a few purpose." Whatever involves brain is commonly useful. And it isn't most probably I might had been flagged, although I did not fairly recognise the reply both.

Questions or answers are deleted because:

The user changed their mind and deleted it

The user posted content in violation and other users reported it.

Question did not receive any answers prior to the 4 day deadline

Suggest you read the rules

They are deleted when the question or answer violates the community guidelines like asking how to hack into face book, how to smuggle drugs on commercial aircraft, how to commit suicide, a kid asking how to make a bomb you name it gets asked on YA on a daily basis.
