Why won't Y/A let me see my answer?
First off, I understand that if I write and answer that goes against the Community guidelines it can be flagged and removed. I've had many a commnet/post be removed, so I am familiar with that.
So my problem is this: Someone posted a question seeking help in writing a story. Specifically they were asking for help in creating a scenario where two of their characters meet and how one becomes a servent to the other.
I wrote a scario that, while a bit sexual, was in no way offensive to anyone. It wasn't graphic at all. I wrote it at work, left to go home, and when I went to check other people's answers to that question Y/A! said I couldn't view the question at this time. Which, of course, I took to mean my response was flagged.
So today, I check my emails and see a "best answer" notification...I click on the link and it still says I can't view the page. How can my response be flagged but I still get best answer??
Uhm yeah, I said that in the beginning of my Question...you know the part where I said "I understand that if I write an answer that goes against the Community guidelines it can be flagged and removed."
Also, your answer doesn't make sense. If the user blocked me, why would they pick my answer as the Best? My answer wasn't decided by the users as best, the Asker picked my answer...

When it says "You cannot view this question at this time" it means the person who asked the question has blocked you, however your answer will still remain on the question unless someone reports it.
