Why was my question a violation ?

Your 'question' really isn't a valid question here. It's more of a request, and a vague one at that. It sounds more like you're trying to get someone to talk to you.

This is an information exchange site -- not a chat room or social site or discussion forum. Questions here must be seeking information or advice of general interest to the community. Answers must attempt to answer the question.

When you signed up to use this site, you agreed to follow the Community Guidelines here. Please read them. They are short and only take a real minute to read through. Then you'll see exactly what kind of site this is and isn't. The Guidelines are found under the ABOUT tab at the top of the page.

Once you've read the Guidelines, there is a short quiz you can take; it can get you 20 extra points. That'll make up for the 10 points you lost for the deletion of your question. Read the Points & Levels page under the ABOUT tab. Violations cost you 10 points each.

That falls into the chatting category would be my guess. The site is intended for real, specific questions, not just random facts. Since we have NO way of knowing what you actually know about anything, we have no effective way of answering the question,either.

That is because you did not ask a specific question. Your "question" can be considered solicitation since you are just asking for anything. It is almost like you are trying to hold a contest which can also be considered point gaming.

That could be considered chat or a violation question and answer format. Questions must be of interest to the community, not solely of personal interest and must be advice-seeking and /or knowledge-worthy.
