How make an appeal for YA?

I find it odd that one of my answers was reported because there wasn't anything offensive about it...but I got an e-mail from YA notifying me of the report and a link to make an appeal...well...the link doesn't work. It keeps saying the website isn't found/doesn't exist. Anybody have any clue has to how I can contact someone at YA to make an appeal?

    If your content was reported someone felt it didn't follow the Community Guidelines which go far beyond just not being "offensive". Content can no non offensive and still be in violation.

    If you are sure your content doesn't violate, you can use the secondary appeal link. The primary one is close to being available, but is still not working.

    https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=conta... is the link.

    For product: Answers

    Category: Appeals

    Sub category: Appeal deletion of a question

    (That also works for an answer or comment regardless)

    In the "Briefly tell us..." section just enter "want to appeal"

    At the bottom of the page on the left will be a link to contact customer care. Use that email to appeal.

    The appeal link seems to have been a problem (as it doesn't work) for about a month or two so it needs to be reported in the bugs and errors website in https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/211240-us-answe... in the new Suggestion Board.

    Considering you feel the need to lecture and harass others on here - not surprising. Ironic because I just reported you for doing that to me and then I read this LOL!

    An appeal link should be attached to the email you receive from yahoo to tell you your answer was reported.
