Is there a way you can see what a Y! Answer team member thinks of the way you use your account?

If you get violations, appeal, and lose, the staff would not like your conduct. If you win the appeals, they say you are doing ok. 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 get (within 24 hours) and any added details you remember 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.

I havent really seen any evidence that there is any ya staff anywhere that actually cares what is being posted. I dont think they even look at posts unless a violation has been challenged, and I am NOT positive they even do that, as I have had several that were reported for bs reasons...

said violation would not be an issue in said post, and appealing the violation did nothing. This has happened enough over time with a variety of posts and alleged reasons, so I dont really think its an issue of me not knowing what the tos are.

Their opinion? As far as I can see with years of use on this site, yahoo answers does not care. Posts get reported by users. When a post gets enough reports, it automatically gets deleted - there is no review of the post. If an account gets enough reports, it is deleted, there is NO review of the account - I have seen SEVERAL very legitimate and very helpful users with a long standing history get deleted because a troll went following them and reporting everything.

You get deleted, then you make a new yahoo id and start again. They do not even ban your ip unless you have seriously caused trouble across several yahoo sites.

They don't care how you use your account if it's within guidelines.
