Why was my yahoo answers question deleted...?

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.

A guess is that you asked it in a chatting format such as "Do you understand the ending...?". It is a common mistake but if your question is worded so that it can simply be answered "yes" or "no", it is not worded correctly.

However there are several reasons Qs are removed.

1. It is a violation of the rules - you will get an e-mail when that happens. 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.

2. There were zero answers when the time expired - no e-mail sent.

3. The BA was reported as a violation - no e-mail sent.

4. During voting, "No Best Answer" was chosen as the best answer - no e-mail sent.

Look in your e-mail, including the spam folder, for a violation e-mail. If not there, check your activity tab in your profile. If nothing about a violation there, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons.

The Yahoo statement is that one or more trusted reporters must report a question or answer for it to be deleted. You can appeal and if the appeal is upheld the reporter loses some credibility. It takes a number of violations to get someone suspended, the exact number would vary dependant on the severity of the violations.

Users go around and delete perfectly good answers just to upset others.

if it was about traveling with a criminal record, its because you cannot discuss that on yahoo answers. it will automatically delete it.

well someone reported it or it had no answers after four days. Not much more info avaiable if you don't tell us what the question was.

It was offensive perhaps?
