Is it true that Yahoo can say that you violated the terms and conditions if...?

one of your questions was not answered? I asked a question about music (it didn't get any answers lol) and after 4 days it was deleted and I was told I violated something. Is this right? I am a bit confused.





Thanks xxxIs it true that Yahoo can say that you violated the terms and conditions if...?
That is a conversational question not a question seeking knowledge. It really is more that chatting. Check the community guidelines. You will find this under the ';Bad'; title.





';Chatting or otherwise violating the question-and-answer format.





Yahoo! Answers is a community of questions and answers, not a chat room. If a post is neither a question nor an answer, it doesn鈥檛 belong here. If you鈥檙e looking for a place to chat with others, try Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Messenger Chat Rooms.';Is it true that Yahoo can say that you violated the terms and conditions if...?
You would need to give us the exact context to help. All questions that are not answered after 4 days are removed (7 days if extended). You get your points back in that case.





There are several reason questions are removed:





1. It is a violation of the rules - you will get an e-mail when that happens. If you get one, post it here in a question and the users can tell you the problem. There is no statute of limitations on breaking the YA rules.





2. There were zero answers when the time expired - no e-mail sent.





3. The BA was reported as a violation - no e-mail sent.





4. During voting, ';No Best Answer'; was chosen as the best answer - no e-mail sent.





Look in your e-mail, including the spam folder, for a violation e-mail. If not there, check your activity tab in your profile. If nothing about a violation there, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons.
If it was something like ';where to download free music or where to download movies'; or something related to illegal-ness [lol] then someone might've reported your question and they might have deleted it as Yahoo Answers doesn't allow talk of illegal stuff as THEY can get in trouble for it too.
I don't see anything wrong with that question is it was in the polls section. It makes sense, it is a question, yahoo may of got it wrong.
i have had answers and questions deleted that has been resolved that was several months old.


that is why you see many people keep their questions and answers private
Well I asked a question called: What is your favourite number? and it got deleted too but people answered mine... Why was it deleted?
