Why was my Answer Reported & Removed? Do you think it was fair?

No, it was not fair, because the answer is NOT a violation, by any stretch of the imagination.

Someone just made a mistake, when they reported it.

The Guidelines state:

"When you post an answer, it must attempt to answer the question being asked."

Your answer *did* answer the question being asked (and it was the perfect answer).

It is NEVER a violation to give a short, "one word answer" (in your case, a Two-word answer).

Although -as another answer has stated- it is true that gangs of people can get together and report/delete anything- even non-violations. :-(

I would appeal anyway, even if you've missed the deadline. Here is an alternate appeal form:

I can't guarantee a response, but it cannot hurt to try.

You *did* follow the Community Guidelines; the fault is not yours. :-)

To be honest I cannot understand why your answer was reported, as Bubble Wrap is a correct answer for wrapping a fragile article. I can only assume that whoever reported the answer has never heard of Bubble Wrap or it is called another name in their country. It is a pity that you cannot appeal as for the life of me I cannot think of a good reason why it was reported, unless just answering with Bubble Wrap was not a sufficient answer for someone.

No that is not fair, i just asked a question 'Did you have a good new year?' which got deleted. And as far as i know that did not break the rules. I wish they would tell you how you violated the guidelines and whether you got reported by a member or by Yahoo itself.

it must be any of the above. i latterly had an answer reported and deleted. It in contact 2 human beings of diverse religious backgrounds and asked for advice on a thank you to handle a situation. i think of had I no longer suggested any religious team or pronounced Christian rather the question could a minimum of nonetheless be there and probably suited with the aid of now. I have been given various thumbs up on it till now it replaced into pulled. i think of a few would sense they have a God-given duty to "punish" you for arguing with them or for no longer being a evaluate their religious team. i won't see you asking something that merits to be reported. i could recommend you attraction it and obtainable additionally evaluate incredibly rewording it and asking it returned. And, If i will escape with this, i could recommend you spot which of your contacts you could privately digital mail and seek for advice from on a thank you to be conscious it so as that it will no longer be deleted returned. i think of it rather is legal, yet asking you to digital mail me does not be so I now no longer do this. As for mine, i desperate to enable it slide. I lost one answer, yet because of the fact the asker has additionally blocked me i think that if I gained an attraction, that particular could out of a feeling of revenge commence reporting something and each thing of mine and could in all probability get me banned. on the least it could waste a great deal of my time. i think of I even have helped some human beings right here and could prefer to maintain doing that and dedicate my time to helping particularly than struggling with. yet returned, I recommend you attraction it and additionally re-ask your question. and that i'm hoping you're around for a protracted time yet and picture in the event that they ever easily did a Yahoo! solutions corridor of acceptance, you would be between the 1st in it. you could somewhat get my vote.

In my view it is a 'one word answer' and a violation.

I feel you should have sounded you wanted to be helpful and written 'bubble wrap' in a sentence.

Others will disagree with me, but it takes only a few users to agree with me to report it, and it will be history.

It is one of those if you had appealed you may have won your points back.

This happened so many times to me.

I give short and good answer....it is not fair .

Sort of maybe yes maybe no, I would have appealed it.One wouldn't have to go into complete detail on that question.

Well, I would not see why any rules would be broken. Unfair!

No it is not fair but it happens to all of us when trolls don't like you or your answer.
