Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Does Y/A notify you if your question is removed?

Just wondering how it works, will you be told if/when you get flagged, reported, banned? A couple of my words got censored with asterisks to remove some offending letters, no big deal, but I wonder if your questions OR answers get removed without your knowledge? Thanks!

    They send a really sinister sounding e mail. "The answers community have reported your answer/Question." they will remove 10 points. There is a bar code to an appeal form. If you lose they take another 10 points. On their system every Tom Dick and Harry can report you.They can gang up if they dont like you. I prefer online moderators. Keep your profile closed To day someone has been snooping into mine.

    They are only removed when you get enough violation reports on it. You will be notified and you lose 10 points. That is the only way a question can get removed unless you delete it while it is open.

    Yes they do.

    Yahoo will send you a violation notice.
