Did the question get ANY answers?

Did you pick the Best Answer or let it go to voting?

Did you get a violation notice?

There are several reasons questions are deleted – not all are violations:

► No answer in 4 days

► Answered, voters choose "No Best Answer"

► Best Answer reported for violation

► Reported as violation

If you got NO notice, deletion might be due to one of the first 3 reasons. Nothing to be done about that; it is simply how the site works.

If you got an EMAIL, then your question was reported. It generally takes at least 2 reports for an item to be removed as a violation, although one report by a person with an extremely HIGH “trust” level can do it in certain circumstances.

For violations, points are lost and you should get notice. Community Guidelines explain what a violation is – chatting is the most reported violation. Here are links to learn about violations.

Appeal violations/suspensions using link in email, or this form:

The Yahoo statement is that one or more trusted reporters must report a question or answer for it to be deleted. You can appeal and if the appeal is upheld the reporter loses some credibility. It takes a number of violations to get someone suspended, the exact number would vary dependant on the severity of the violations.

If it is anything like this question, the grammar police probably deleted it.
