I've been told I've been deducted 10 points for an inappropriate answer, but where can I see the question that was asked?

    Yahoo wont show you what Question it was the only thing you can do is if you Believe your Answer was not Breaking any of the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines Send in a Appeal for it

    To Appeal go here

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

    Select Contact a Yahoo Specialist then Appeals then Follow the Instructions from there

    This is yet another way that YA is a hot flaming mess.

    Once your answer gets deleted, it vanishes from your list of questions you've answered. And, given how poorly the appeal process is currently working, it seems that even YA staff cannot figure this out.

    There appears to be a glitch going on, where users are losing points drastically.

    I have lost points too, but I can't see that I have been reported for anything, so I'm guessing it's another "monthly glitch."

    Can't you go onto the menu on the left side of yahoo answers and click onto your name profile and it takes you to the questions you have asked and answered?

    IF the link in the notification email you received is working, when you click that link to appeal, you'll see the question there (you don't actually have to complete the appeal process). However, the links in the notification emails don't seem to be working for many (maybe not any) right now, and there is no other way to determine what question your answer was removed from UNLESS you happen to remember the question you answered, based on the content of the answer that was removed (but you would still have to go search for the question as it won't be in your My Answers area anymore).
