Every time I answer a Question, it says "Deleted an answer: -2 points" Why?
OK so, I deleted ONE of my answers because it wasn't that great and all, and then I went ahead and answered some more questions, (I didn't delete these answers) and it says "Deleted an answer: -2 points" around the side. Why is it doing this?
Thanks a million(:

That, like the constant "Thanks for visiting 1 point" are glitches that have been happening on and off for a while now

No, it used to deduct 10 points every time Yahoo removed one of your questions. Now its only 2. So its actually better oh never mind I read it wrong. We get points deleted for answering someone elses deleted question? That's dumb I haven't read anything about that yet

The same exact thing is happening to me except in stead of saying "Deleted an answer: -2", it keeps saying "your appeal has been unsuccessful: -10 points"

When you delete an answer Yahoo Answers never lets you forget it. It's some sort of annoying but harmless glitch. It might stop if you clear your cache and cookies.

You have just chosen answers deleted is all.
