You may not have done ANYTHING wrong. Questions get deleted for a lot of reasons, and the following reasons don't put your account in danger at all:

1. Question receives no answers in 4 days; automatically deleted.

2. Question receives 'no best answer' as majority vote; automatically deleted.

3. Question's best answer is removed as a violation; automatically deleted.

Based on the inactivity of your account that I see from your Q&A profile, one of those three reasons seems the most likely.

The final reason for question deletion would be that the question in itself was a violation. If this were the case, you would've received a violation notice containing the reason for your question's deletion and a link to appeal. Or, if the question was reported by the community, you'd simply receive an e-mail notification with a link to appeal.

If you received a violation (which I doubt), consult the community guidelines to figure out why your question was removed. A good command of the community guidelines will not only help you understand the reason for the violation, but it will help you in appeals as well if you decide to do so.

First, it was only deleted due to violation if you received a violation notice email. If you did not get that email, it was not a violation and you have nothing to worry about.

If you did receive that email, it is possible you phrased the question in such a way that it sounded like chat. That's the most common violation. Or, you may have communicated directly with another user in the Additional Details section. That, too, is considered chatting and is not allowed.

Most of your questions look fine; I checked your profile page before answering to see if there was any obvious clue as to the reason for deletion. There isn't. Do have a look at the Guidelines, so you can see whether your phrasing was considered chat. They're short and are found under the ABOUT tab at the top of the page. They really only take a minute to read.

If you did get a violation for chatting, don't worry too much about a single one. It's ok. Yahoo expects even its best users to make mistakes occasionally. Do your best to make sure it isn't something that's happening regularly, and you'll be fine. A small handful of chat violations is generally ignored. Some single violations can get your account deleted, but not when they are for chatting.

Without knowing exactly what the question was, it's impossible for us to say.

Did you get a violation email? If so, what did it say?

Did the question expire with no answers? If so, Y!A deleted it (they don't send emails for this scenario).

Did the question end the 'in voting' process with "No Best Answer" as the winner? If so, Y!A deleted it (again, no email is sent).

Y!A also deletes questions if the Best Answer is reported and deleted.
