Why was my post deleted?

I was posting a picture of myself and to ask the yahoo community on guessing my age but then my post got deleted and said it violated something?

Was this post offensive in any way?

Anyway this is what I post exactly.

I was wondering on how old do I look. Like guess my age and also try to guess where I'm from. Like what country do I look like I'm from.

Here is a picture of me

    It's a glitch in the system. I thought they fixed it last week, but I guess not. Yahoo Answer is famous for its glitches and not doing anything about them.

    You look Mexican, southern Mexican. Age, 16.

    Who the hell gave me 3 thumbs down? That was a good answer! You guys are a$$holes!

    It was reported and deleted because questions like that are almost always chat violations. YA IS NOT A CHAT FORUM. Guessing your age from your picture is not a question where you are seeking knowledge from other YA community members. You are asking for YOUR entertainment only. THAT is a misuse of YA.

    "...How is Yahoo! Answers different from a message board or chat room?

    ID: SLN8202

    Description

    This article explains the difference of Yahoo! Answers with message board or chat room.

    Resolution

    Yahoo! Answers is a place for people to ask and answer questions in order to share knowledge.

    Unlike a chat room, Yahoo! Answers is not a place for people to ask each other how they're doing or "talk" when they're bored. See the help pages for more information about the "chatting" violation.

    Unlike a message board, where a thread of messages can continue indefinitely without ever getting resolved, the questions in Yahoo! Answers are resolved when a best answer is picked. After questions are resolved, members who have reached Level 2 can rate the Best Answer and everyone in the community can continue to share their opinions. ..."

    Your question was a "chatting" violation as in http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN...

    Most chatting violations are totally harmless and probably don't get reported so perhaps you were just unlucky.

    Chat violation Questions must be of interest to the community, not solely of personal interest and must be advice-seeking and /or knowledge-worthy.

    they have a problem against this type of questions but they ignore other questions which are really dumb on this site and they don't include pics.
