Yahoo deleted my answer but din't tell me what the violation is. Can you?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...





I answered that question on Yahoo Answers and was contacted by Yahoo informing me that "You have posted content to Yahoo! Answers in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. As a result, your content has been deleted. Community Guidelines help to keep Yahoo! Answers a safe and useful community, so we appreciate your consideration of its rules."


I wrote to Yahoo asking exactly what was the violation so that I would know in the future to NOT commit the violation again.


to which I received this response which seems to be a form letter response: "Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.





We will investigate reports of possible violations of


the Yahoo! Terms


of Service and the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines


and take the


appropriate action.

Again I wrote asking exactly what was the violation and received this response: "Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.

sole discretion,


remove or edit any content and/or terminate the


accounts of users who


appear to have violated the Yahoo! Terms of Service or

I wrote to Yahoo Answers again and am waiting for a response that will probably be ANOTHER form letter response informing me of nothing about the so-called violation.


If anyone would like to read the response that I posted that was deleted can contact me personally and I will send them a copy of my answer that Yahoo sent to me when they informed me that I had committed a violation.


Maybe one of you can tell me what the violation is.


Thanks.

Yahoo deleted my answer but din't tell me what the violation is. Can you?
Honestly Uncle Dady, I do not understand why the Question that was Posted "was not deleted". There are alot of Young people who use YA and do not need to read such "Graphic Adult Material". I cannot believe they deleted your answer and Not the Question itself..I don't understand why somethings are allowed on here and if others repeat it, are considered Violations.
Reply:I'm sorry but that questioin should have been in Men's or Women's Health section. I'd have put it in the Women's Health Section. Sorry but there is NO SEX SECTION in Y answers because of the under 18's on here. Protest in Forum. Also be sure to go to "Appeal a Violation Notice" in Forum %26amp; Post. Yahoo should respond on those boards in a couple of weeks.
Reply:i never received a response when i asked why an answer i had was deleted.....i didnt know why or agree but they never told me why.....sorry
Reply:The way it seems to work:


Someone doesn't like you or your answer and reports it. Then your answer or question is deleted. If you ask for details they give you a general reply (e.g. read the community standards). I could be wrong but I don't think there is any human intervention at all.
Reply:1) They never give a reason for the removal.





2) Since I cannot see the answer, I cannot decide whom you may have offended with it
Reply:Well it does sound pretty sick, maybe some people reported you.
Reply:Join the (club ) we all been down that ruff road.


violations hurts and worths is not knowing why we got them .
Reply:maybe the one that you'd answered was just a mistake to press the violation? so the yahoo answers send you a message. It is just not your day.. ohhh my.. get it, anyone got a mistakes..
Reply:On that sort of subject you have to be careful about what you say.


I should report you for directing me to such a questionn on a general site.


Some over protective mum may see this and to protect their little monsters may do just that.


My recommendation would be to pull the questio and be happy with the answers you have or pick a best answer at the 4 hour point.
