How long does it take Yahoo to respond when you appeal a deletion of one of your answers?

It's been more than a week since I appealed and I haven't gotten any response. I appealed right away, just a few minutes after the 2 answers were taken down and I got the emails notifying me of the deletions. How long does it usually take for Yahoo to review the answers?

    One of my appeals was made before 3months and I haven't received an answer yet. I appealed for another couple of wrongful deletions about week or two ago but yet to receive an answer from yahoo.

    Unfortunately most of our appeals go unread. Its really annoying to see we receive wrongful violation notices and we cannot restate our posts either.

    Yahoo should be more accurate to respond to our appeals. We got no choice but to appeal when out posts being deleted for no reason. We have to appeal bcz otherwise after certain amount of violations our accounts will be suspended. All our hard work and contributions to yahoo for years will be in vain.

    Hours to months ... and sometimes, never.

    There has (for some time) reportedly been a backlog of appeals, and responses are taking much longer than they should, if they arrive at all.

    Don't hold your breath, but don't be surprised if you get a response in July, either.

    I've appealed hundreds of times and never ever ever got a response.

    Just deal with it.

    (by the way...expect this question to be deleted. The YA nazis hate criticism.)

    l don't bother...it's not that important to me.

    The first time it happened l was fuming because it was totally unjustified, but after that l realised it was so childish it wasn't worth caring about. Now if it happens l just laugh and move on.
