Why doesn't my Question show in the question section?

god doesn't like you

Happened to me a week or two ago. It appeared in My Questions but had attracted zero interest and no answers. It was only a long time later they bothered to inform me the question had been deleted, so nobody had ever seen it - apparently it violated community guidelines.

I ewouldn't mind, but it concerned an American pastor who had been tried and jailed for beating children so as to chastise them - which the Bible, of course, tells us is a duty. I asked if this was a case of secular law unduly interfering with the right to worship and practice your religion, citing the Bible on the need to beat your children regularly to keep them focused on God, and that physical punishment is not optional. I also pointed out there are strict rules in the Bible as to thickness of rod that may be used to beat your errant child , together with when and in what circumstances, and that only a rod may be used - no belts or straps, these are Ungodly - and that girlchildren over a certain age may not be caned at all. So there are loads of safeguards there and nothing for the secular law to get involved in.

This took a lot of research and digging around and I was quite proud of the question.

The sort of stuff that sets up a great debate on R&S, usually. But the humourless ***** still pulled it and never let me know it had been pulled..... and I never got the lost points back... talk about waste of time...

During busy times some questions may get dumped or lost in the noise, with no answers.

Some new questions may get dumped, if they violate guidelines for simple things like chatting, rather than posting then issuing a violation.

Content Filters don't just remove swearing with lines of starts, but also scan for possible violations.

During Very busy times content filters can remove questions to prevent slowing of the system caused by dealing with suspect questions or answers.

Posting the same question more than a few times, can result in removal of all questions for Spamming, which is also against guidelines.

Too many links in a question could result in deletion, because some links in the past have contain viruses. more than a few links can cause problem for some filters.

because u r a level 2 peon and you put links in the non-additional details part of your question

Guideline violations.

This happens. Sorry. It is the cost of doing business. Tell Yahoo! you want your points back. I'm sure they care.

This is not super, awesome, hilarious or cool, guy.

violating guidelines maybe....
