Do your questions get deleted nearly as fast as you can post them?

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 ;)

On your question page, there is a bbox on the right with a delete question option.... \n\nI guess that does it :-)

Best answer or vote.  It is selfish to throw out a question, have people spend a lot of time on an answer and then let it expire.  I have only deleted one questions so far, and that was because I was being an Ass when I placed it on yahoo.

When a question is first posted it appears on the hompegae, typically for 10 to 20 seconds.  This is when most people are going to start answering and depending how long they take to answer depends how many minutes later their responses will be posted.\n\nOnce a question falls off the homepage it goes to the list of recently asked questions and some people will respond from there.\n\nAfter a while it gets so far down the list that no-one will stumble upon it and the only 'late' answers you'll receive are from people looking at questions in specific categories or by using the search function.\n\nThe reason I answered this is because I sw it on eht homepage.

I know people around here like to claim its liberal censoring but it really isnt. Alot of people have had their accounts suspended and then were able to get them back. I have noticed the last 2 days or so, when I try to ask an obnoxious question(super obnoxious) it wont automatically post but I can still see in the my questions tab. So if after 5 minutes the question still hasnt posted on the page, I pull it myself, since it would appear to be against some of their guidelines, rather than waiting for it post and it getting removed and getting another violation notice and losing more points.\n \n   To get around it, if you dont care, you could post a fairly innocent subject line like Why does Bill Clinton? Leave it at that. Wait for it to post, then ad the remainder in the additional details section.\nEDIT:Augh, now I want to know what the question is. If you hadnt said it was like artwork I could have just gone about my day, but now now, it will bother me all day...(not really)

It is good that the answers never get deleted. That way there is a good knowledge database of answers built up over time.\n\nHowever, I agree with you that we should be able to remove them from our 'personal folders', or move them to a 'resolved folder'. \n\nThose of us on Level3+ have maybe 300+ answers.....it gets a bit messy at times.

You gotta keep your questions new & fresh! I seroiusly doubt people wanna go back 9 or 10 pages to answer questions from yesterday... Freshness counts!

If someone removes their question they may just get the answer they want and then just remove the question. Or maybe they remove it because they are getting a bunch of ridiculous answers. Or maybe Yahoo removes it because someone has reported it as an abusive question.

It is possible that you will be reported, and the question removed.\nIf it is reported, I believe that you will get a warning of some kind, and after you amass a certain number of warnings you are then perma-banned from Answers.

It is not that we are so limited ourselves, rather we are being limited by Yahoo!  Many people have asked questions that we may find intriguing, but some others have found them offensive in some way and reported them.  The result?  Interesting, challenging, pertinent questions (and answers) get deleted.

I don't work for Yahoo! so I wouldn't personally know, but my best guess is that they have a very large server, with probably enough room to store questions for the next year or 2. I'm sure there is a policy of deleting questions after a certain period of time and based on its appropriateness.

The worst that can happen to someone on here is they get reported to Yahoo Answers which in return will get that question removed or they will suspend them from the site......

In this particular case I think there was a hiccup in the whole system...I posted 3 questions and was expecting to see that they all had been yanked but no all three showed up...I say just boycott the empty headed yahooos who keep asking all those nasty questions...now they get on my last nerve!

Then why bother posting a worthless question.  These types of questions weigh down the rest of the system and the good questions get buried at the bottom.  You don't want to come back?  Fine, but you don't have to waste other people's time with a dumb question.  By the way, it is "probably," not "prolly."
