Why would customer care remove content posted by me deducting over 1200 points?

Why can't I protest their action which is totally unjustified since my source has multiple links.

    No, it used to deduct 10 elements every time Yahoo eliminated one in every of your questions. Now its best 2. So its surely better oh in no way mind I learn it fallacious. We get elements deleted for answering anybody elses deleted query? That is dumb i have never read some thing about that but

    Sounds like an Honorable Contribution which is a contradiction.

    The Answers Team does that not CC, that usually happens when they have found some form of point gaming going on, usually with multiple accounts. When that does happen they do send an email detailing why the points were deducted so look at your email inbox or spam box.

    If you want to dispute it email the team at y_answrs_team@yahoo.com (missing e is correct) or you can ask about it on the suggestion board and may get a team reply there. http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers

    It is rarely the subject matter of a question that gets it deleted. Usually, it is the form. Were you perhaps not asking a question that sought factual information? Was your question phrased too much like chat? If it was a "Do you think...?" or "Who's the best...?" or "What if...?" or "If...then...?" or anything like that, it was likely deleted because it was chatty. Were you asking a "question" that really promoted your own point of view? Several of the questions still on your activity lists on your profile page look like violations for that. It seems to be a habit of yours.

    Whenever you ask about a deletion, it's best that you include the entire exact text of the question, including any Additional Details as sometimes the violation is in the Additional Details. That way, we don't have to guess.

    Because your questions and answers are nothing but religious rhetoric, rants and statements instead of actually knowledge and information seeking/providing questions and answers. You're using YA as a discussion and debate forum and a place to post your beliefs and personal agenda, when it's not for that purpose. Unless you stop, your content will continue to be removed until YA gets tired of you and bans your account.

    Because they caught you cheating, voting for yourself with your other account. Either that or spamming. You can appeal individual violations. Then you could start following the guidelines and TOS or your entire account is gonna go POOF.

    whether your source has links or not is irrelevant. any content breaking the rules can be reported (and possibly removed).
