One of my answers was deleted, do you think it was justified?

Hmm, I haven't read the guidelines, but it doesn't sound bad to me, and you did answer the question.  They didn't even give you a reason for what you violated.  I would email Yahoo Answers team member Amy, I think that is the best way to get a response.  Below is a link to her yahoo profile.  You can find her email address there.

Someone didn't like the answer I gave to their question and wrote me this really NASTY email. It was full of insults, name-calling and was just downright hateful. I wrote back defending my point. I wasn't trying to convince him to agree with me, but to let him know I have a right to my opinion. Now, after several more correspondences, we have called a truce and decided to stay in touch with one another. After sweeping all the ugliness aside, I made a new friend, so it was worth it.

Yahoo, does not seem to have a very good position on what can be ask, I am a Bush basher, ( I have my own reasons) I have had questions removed for what I felt was no reason. I have seen Bush supporters get the same treatment, but maybe because this whole thing is fairly new. I think if somebody reports a question or an answer it is automatically removed. It is like I wrote to them, just because someone does not agree with your answer should not be reason to remove it. Unless it is profane or truly objectionable they should leave it alone. All I get for an answer is a link to their policy. So I don't know. You should have had every right to ask that question freely and I should have the same right to answer it.

Hah!   I would have said that a while ago.      I  and  an increasing number of  Q & A  members are finding themselves being outrageously and  arbitrarily  censored...  having either a  question or an answer deleted by Yahoo for no other reason  than  that somebody thought it would be a fun thing to report   a  non-existent  "abuse"     Yahoo does not look into the allegation to see if it  was at all valid, and  evidently  they don't give a  darn.    So before you  get too comfortable  with your  feelings of  "lovely  freedom to  express your thoughts and ideas"   wait  a  while.    It  seems to have become  the current  fun thing to do to  somebody who hasn't posted a doggone thing that you would even hesitate  to let your grandmother read.

Sure does, your opinion is being heard.  Why else would people's questions and answers keep getting deleted? This section of y/a is becoming a mini civil rights movement. People post, others delete them because they don't like the question or answer because it doesn't agree with their thinking. It's freedom of speech trying to be strangled by a small slice of small minded people. It appears bigotry is alive and well in this section. Does deleting people's remarks really matter? Other than losing points, it won't stop me from responding to outrageous questions filled with either lies, half-truths, or completely inaccurate statements.

Yes, every once and a while you will see some random statements on the question board directed at someones response. Ive looked back at a few profiles and followed their questions and sure enough some jerk was answering every question with horrid comments. The good thing is that I think the Yahoo Answers Team is on the case. I know that if I see any more of them they will get filed for abuse before this gets so bad that Yahoo has to push a bunch of restrictions on the rest of us to control a few twisted morons. Check out the letter board, there are some interesting comments on there. Great Question you definitely hit the nail on the head with the tolerance. You shouldn't be beaten up at every turn for you opinion. Best Wishes! J

You must have hurt someones feeling.  I have had questions that they have pulled.  The questions were regarding their policies.  Don't bother e-mailing them either..You'll just get a BS mass generated response..I will probably get a violation for this post because it complains about them.  But, whatcha gonna do??  This Q&A thing is addicitve!!

I asked if anyone knew someone who lives in a certain place and they deleted my question... what's up with that?

Of course not.  You have the right to state your opinion.  Anyway, who cares?  You are taking care of your business, right?  Remember, never argue with an idiot.  If he wants to argue with you, point out your avatar at the top of the page that says "best answerer."

Hey, I got ten points knocked off because I answered best answer and the answer and question were deleted and I wasn't even the one who got best answer, I just answered the question. Yahoo answer sometimes gets their wires crossed. What the heck is wrong with them???? They won't take off the really filth but they will screw up like I just stated. Bummer. I am disappointed big time.

I'd like to know what "reason" they gave you for the deletion. All it takes is one person to not like your answer and boom....you get violated. I tried writing to the YA "power people"....surprise, surprise it doesn't help. Never heard from them.

You have to start a new account to use Answers:(\nI've had some suspended, but I could still use the mail if I wanted to, and others just completely deleted.

When you post, and up until the question is closed, you can modify (edit) the answer.  Or, if in retrospect, you are unhappy with your response you may delete it.  But you may only change your answers, which is why you only see it on yours.

yesterday I was going mad because of this\nand when i said in a question what do you think about this limit, they deleted my question and took 10 point

I think it depends on what mood the yahoo team is in; today I had three deleted while open, but I hadn't had any deleted that way in weeks. It's a total crapshoot, you just gotta take the gamble ;)

Yes, my account was temporarily suspended because of some people who could not refute my answers with truth, so they attempted to silence me by claiming abuse. I contacted Yahoo Corporate Offices, my account was re-instated and now they are more careful about frivilous complaints of abuse. A forum such as this has a responsibility to encourage free speech.
