Why did my question get deleted?

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.

Content on Yahoo! Answers may be deleted for several reasons:

* Yahoo! determines that your content is in violation of the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines or the Yahoo! Terms of Service. - Email is sent in this situation.

* The community determines that your content is in violation of the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines or the Yahoo! Terms of Service. - Email is sent in this situation.

* Your question expired with no answers. - No Email is sent in this situation.

*The best answer to your question was removed by Yahoo! or the community (when a best answer is removed, the associated question is automatically removed). - No Email is sent in this situation.

*No Best Answer was chosen by voters. - No Email is sent in this situation.

When a question is deleted, all associated answers, including the best answer, are deleted as well.

Check your activity details in your profile. If nothing about a violation there, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons. (Activity Details is located in your profile, besides your Activity Summary' and above the box where your Q&A's are displayed)

Without knowing exactly what the question was, it's impossible for us to say.

Did you get a violation email? If so, what did it say?

Did the question expire with no answers? If so, Y!A deleted it (they don't send emails for this scenario).

Did the question end the 'in voting' process with "No Best Answer" as the winner? If so, Y!A deleted it (again, no email is sent).

Y!A also deletes questions if the Best Answer is reported and deleted.
