Apparently, users reported your questions for violating the Community Guidelines. Now you should be able to see why they have been deleted. The only way to avoid further problems in the future is to post them within full compliance of the aforementioned rules.

Nearly everything you post is a chat violation or other abuse of posting rules here.
Most of what you post should be reported as either rants/chat, not an answer seeking question, or not a question

Looking at your profile, there are hints of violating the rules. Some of your questions (Why do my fingers smell?) would be considered chat violations by many. Inappropriate is just one of several rules to follow. If you want to know the reason for the violation, post "Why was this question (answer) a violation?" and add the original e-mail you got and/or any details you remember so the users can see the exact context. The experienced users here will explain it to you. Many times the violation is not in the question, but in the added details and updates.

Look, of those questions didn violate the guidelines, you should APPEAL the deletions, rather than waste everybody's time by whining about it

Yahoo Answers doesn't delete anything. Other users report posts that they feel should be removed, and the computer system that runs the site takes down those posts if enough users flag them.
A post doesn't have to be spam to be reported. If you'd care to share with us an example of what's been removed, by posting again asking "is this a violation" and then include the exact text of the question that was removed (including updates) the users here can tell you if it's a violation or not. A lot of users post chat questions or "rate this pic" (or similar) that they don't realize are violations.
If you feel sure your posts weren't violations, then you should appeal their removal. If you win your appeal your question is reinstated and your points, and the users who reported it will have less influence in getting other posts removed.

and include - The specific text of the post that was deleted, The violation reason specified in the notification email (if you got one, if you didn’t get one then make that known), The reason why you'd like it reviewed, and The Yahoo ID you're using in Yahoo Answers (if you don’t include that info, you’ll get an email asking for it. Sometimes even when you do include, you get an email asking for it).
