Why are my questions being deleted?
I tried to get some answers to help me out and i keep getting told it's been deleted for not following guidelines. There was nothing inappropriate about them, I simply asked a question and it's been deleted after my fourth attempt but I'm being told it has ananawer and I can't see it as its been deleted. It doesn't make sense it was obvious I was asking a question and not chatting or anything in it

You need to appeal the ruling. All it takes is someone to file the complaint where the little flag to the right pops up. People are having a little power trip using this. It automatically removes the question. If you appeal it an actual person will look at the question and return it if the rules aren't being broken. Pretty bad system when you consider the average age on here at times is somewhere around 14 years old!

Evidently they were updating something and didn't test it out thoroughly. Then they went home for the weekend. Hopefully they'll fix it this week sometime.
Unfortunately, Y Answers doesn't seen to be high on Yahoo's priority list -- otherwise they'd do something to get rid of the spammers. I'm encouraged that they seem to be doing SOMETHING.
