    If I tell you why I think it was deleted?

    Will you get mad at me?

    It's just my guess, and I didn't have your question deleted.

    To begin with, it's not really a question. You might have written "Would you prefer cheese sticks or eggrolls?"

    Yahoo has a rule against chat which is very confusing to everyone. I think your question falls under the chat rule. It's when a question is asking people's personal tastes and might be viewed as an attempt to get lots of answers.

    The problem is that there is no correct answer to your question.

    It would be great if there was an explanation along with these deletions. How can people learn from their mistakes if they don't know what they've done wrong?

    You have my sympathies. It's happened to me too.

    P.S. - I'd prefer the cheese sticks.

    I think you mean it was deleted, not deleated. Deleated is not a word.

    Sometimes people report questions for no reason, and it gets deleted. You can contest it, but it's not really worth it. Read the community guidelines and see if maybe it violated something in there. If it didn't, then just repost it. If your questions that don't violate the guidelines keep getting reported, you can contest them and note that you suspect that someone is inappropriately reporting your questions.

    Good luck.

    Although it's an innocent question, it is most likely that someone thought it was considered chatting and assumed it wasn't a legitimate question asking for an answer.

    Maybe you could of asked Would you prefer cheese sticks or egg roles and why?

    Then again people on here are also just petty and would probably would report that too.

    Perhaps because of the atrocious spelling.

    I mean.............Apperently....and deleated?

    Maybe they thought you were speaking some foreign Language, .....because that's clearly not any word in English. ....

    and for the record............Yes, speaking foreign languages on the English boards, is, in fact, a violation.

    Perhaps you should pay a little more attention to that spell check thingy.

    Source(s): Apparently, deleted.
