Why did A question I asked yesterday get reported then deleted?

May be...

Wow, that seems strange. That makes you wonder about the validity of the fellow NASCAR fans on here and even more about the Yahoo!Answers team. ??????

All I asked was who was going to win the 3 races this weekend. I sent an appeal to yahoo and they said after review I did violate. I don't get it. Why would someone report that.

the same thing happen to me the other day. i had asked who's ready for the Dover race, and who did everyone pick to win.

the very next day, i found that the question had been removed. i also appealed the violation and also was told i was indeed in violation. they didn't even tell me why. they just said that my question didn't meet the guidelines.

i hate when they do that.

They don't review anything. It always comes back as a violation.

Probably just another troll reporting everything.

Probably someone with no life. I don't get it either.

It's hard to say, my guess is it was the work of our local troll union, but I could be wrong.

The biggest violations I see here are chat and not in the form of a question. My guess it was one of those 2. Can't say without seeing it.

Above answer, very wrong. Many violations are won on appeal.

Ah, I think I know. I read the guidelines again, something everyone should do, and if YA deleted it, it was probably for chat. Your question was not, as they call it, knowledge or advice seeking, it was a question that no one would know the answer to. Answers would be guesses or chat.

That's what I think.

Keep your violation and wait until Monday rolls around. I think the process of appeals has been made automated over the weekends. I know Yahoo a little while back had to cut jobs because of the economy and this may have lead to a more automated process. I had to appeal one that was falsely reported 4 times before someone actually looked at the appeal and reinstated my answer.

Anyway appeal it again Monday and if they send it back appeal it again until you win it. I see nothing wrong with the answer myself. The key thing you have to remember when asking questions is you have to ask yourself "Is the question mean to gain knowledge"?

I also know that some of the people at Yahoo are less intelligent than others. They don't know their own rules or either some of them are just drawing a paycheck. That tends to happen with big companies. Anyway wait until Monday and appeal in until you win it. I had to appeal 4 times on my last violation.

Your question may have been borderline chat as a few say but who's to say you wasn't seeking advice to find out who was "capable" of winning 3 races at Dover? If you explain in the additional details or your appeal the intention of your question then you can win that appeal. I would personally not report anything like that because I wouldn't know what your exact intention was to wanting to know who was "capable" of winning 3 in a row. The knowledge might have been to solve a bet with someone... who knows?

See you could have reworded it to say "Are there any drivers capable of winning 3 races this weekend" or "Which drivers are capable of winning 3 races at Dover" and it would have meant the same thing as your question. It's all in how it was worded. The person reporting should have taken that into consideration and also Yahoo should have as well.

Like I said some of the Yahoo employees are less educated than the others.

In your appeal just tell them that what you was wanting to know was "Which drivers are capable of winning 3 races at Dover". Don't include a lot of extra stuff. Make it quick and easy for the person reviewing the appeal and you'll be more likely to win it. And don't be rude in your appeal.

Y/A is supposed to be a user built data base, kinda like wikipedia but in question form.

A question like "Is Sam Hornish going to win sunday?" Is not a valid question and could be removed.

A question like "Has Sam Hornish ever won a Nascar race?" is valid, it has a specific answer and if someone came to Y/A looking for that information they could find it.

Yahoo may have removed it or someone targeting you may have reported it.

Dunno, some people can be a total jackass. If I remember correctly, you can like appeal again. Appeal again, cuz it'a a ligit question!

Maybe no one did. Yahoo Answers team also decide what to remove and then do so. You don't have to be reported to have your question removed. The fact that you lost the appeal tells me that it was Yahoo Answers team. Usually when someone just reports it the question get put back. Well I never heard of a question that YA removed themselves to get put back. They don't liek to admit they are wrong. It happens all the time on a regular basis to most of us.

I've been reported for dumb reasons too. I didn't get it, so I appealed and NEVER won. Y/A people can get pretty bored sometimes I guess.

School's out so all I've got to say is one word...KIDS

I've noticed the frequency of immature questions and answers have picked up considerably,including the thumbs down for good and descent answers.I'm sure they'll report a question just to be little smartelics

Could also be one of the Nascar bashers wandering over to this section.They love to stir up a little trouble too.
