I would like to know...and I am asking the Yahoo Team..as you never give an E-mail address; if I make a polite comment of my opinion..?

Just what the above says......If I give a polite opinion, why am I told I cannot make a comment?

Explain to me, what is not acceptable what I am saying, the guide lines are followed to a "T". I find this to be...one set of rules for some people, and one set of "unspoken" rules for another.

And it is totally unfair for the Yahoo team not to give an E-mail address.

Let me say, I find most questions ARE NOT within the Community Guidelines, but nobody worries about all the cussing and explicit inappropriate questions.

Therefore it is correct/fair that you read those questions...and a lot of the answers; and you will see they are not within the guidelines.

Also daily, anywhere from 2-5 of my answers in HEALTH are chosen by the Askers as best answer. However, I remain at 20%.....why??? I do not do this for points, as I truly believe I can help people feel better, and yet be totally honest with them. Also, I have received compliments from various Countries around the Globe..........so I must be doing something right.

I believe the problem lies with the Yahoo Team, and would appreciate input from other people, answering questions, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

    1. This is a public Q&A forum - the Yahoo Team do not monitor it or moderate it, so they are not going to see your question anyway.

    2. They do give an email address for Yahoo Answers - you just haven't found it yet, It actually appears on the suggestions board.

    3. You have answered over 6,000 questions - and have a 20% BA rate. To get to 21% you would need another 60+ best answers (or more if some of your answers are not selected as BA). They only calculate to the nearest whole number, so until your exact percentage passes 20.5% it will still say 20%

    4. No-one from Y!A reads any of the questions - the site is self-moderated. That means that any user can report a question which breaks the guidelines - and if enough report it the deletion is done automatically by the computer. No human being will check a question unless there is an appeal against the deletion

    5. I cannot say why your particular posts may have been deleted - because I don't know what you wrote. All it needs is for someone to think they broke the guidelines - or for someone who disagrees with you to claim that they did so.

    I believe this entire forum should be moderated carefully :(
