Why does questions and answers get deleted by yahoo answers team?

People complain about your answer, so it gets pulled. The disclaimer means nothing.

I think they are deleted the moment they turn 60 days old.\n\nWhen I arrange the questions by date, see a lot of questions that fall under 2 months, and a few that go under 3 months. But the ones that are 3 month old aren't accessable. When I try to access them, it tells me that they've been deleted.

It question has been answered many of times.  I found this link using the search to the left of this question... better then loosing 2 points for asking a question already asked!

Don't let it bother you.  Any one can cause a censor from questions and answers by simply clicking on the abuse tab and complaining about your answer.\nHappened to me.  Some one said my answer was neither a question or an answer.  go figure.\nForget it, it'll happen again.  You can bet on that.\nReally I feel the questions and answers staff should spend a little time and check out a reported abuse rather than just notify you that you have been censored.\nJust do not get a major censor from Question and answers it's self.  They are the only ones to worry about.\nAnswer on, my friend.

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.

I think it's silly that I lose two points whether anyone answers or not.  I only gain them back when I pick a best answer.  I cannot do this if no one answers.  i believe, in that case, the points should be restored when the question is deleted or expires.

If people report you then Yahoo automatically Deletes it\nIt could be a good queston or answer and they will delete it if it was reported \nDid you know you can Report someone for putting their question in the wrong Catagory?

You get this type of question on 90% of boards no matter what.  Did you read Community Guidelines ?\n\nOn most of the boards that I go on the MODERATORS decide and their decision is final if you don't like having posts deleted don't post, simple as that.\n\nThe reason your post was rejected / deleted was because somebody in their wisdom deemed it so.\n\nIn the words of a STAR TREK commander "LET IT BE SO"

cuz I do what I want!\nAnd I got burned by Yahoo, so I'm just trying to educate the masses.  If you keep your questions clean and inline with the community guidlines (http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines.php)\nthen everything will be ok.  This question does not violate, so I will not report it.  Have a nice day.

That has happened to me a couple of times, and it seems like they are the questions that require the *most* effort and thought.\n\nI did that to a question, submitted the answer, and even though everything shows I answered the question, it never showed up, did not get deleted, just floated off into cyberspace somewhere (?).  The question wasn't deleted, and it shows up on my answered question list, and it tells me I have already answered that question.  How weird is that?

I don't know how you can get Yahoo to do anything, they pretty much have their own plan of action. However, you can persuade them to do something like answer abuse reports.  \n\nI don't also know how you can get them to answer ALL abuse reports but I do know that they take action on them.  Some of the abuse reports I've sent have been actioned on and those questions have been removed already. You can see this if you put the question on your watchlist or if you posted an answer to that question you want deleted, you will see in your answer list that it's been removed.

There are trolls on Yahoo answers and they have multiple Id's and just like to report people and people that they do not agree with is meat. I had my account deleted for to many violations with 50,000 points, I finally got to the right person that restored this account and am back in business, it was quite a hassle really and these same trolls are still here. I don't think that the way Yahoo is doing this reporting thing is fair and should be changed before many more questions such is yours are deleted. Even losing ten points is uncalled for in your case as it was mine.

Are questions deleted after they are resolved?\n\nResolved questions are never deleted. Once a question becomes a Resolved Question, it stays in Yahoo! Answers, available for searching and browsing. You can continue to share what you know by evaluating the Best Answer
