How does my question violate Yahoo community guidelines?
Your question(s) or answer(s) were removed from Yahoo Answers most likely because they was against the Community Guidelines or it was illegal. Yahoo Answers staff removes answers and questions that violate the Community Guidelines or are illegal at regular intervals (they have an automated program that does this), and they manually check the removals over every once in a while. Another reason why your question(s) or answer(s) got removed is because a "troll" reported it. This happens fairly often to people, especially when they ask questions in the P&S category. Just ignore it and move on if this happens. If you know who reported the question by chance (although this is highly unlikely), block that user. Questions are also removed after 4 days of having no answers, or if someone votes "No Best Answer" for a question of yours. You can always appeal questions or answers that are removed in violation of the Community Guidelines within a week of their removal, although you are most likely not going to win the appeal. Hope this helps :)
If a Facebook post violates guidelines, how many reports are needed for the admins to remove it?
Facebook, just like Quora, is very careful with how much specific information they share about their moderation practices.The theory behind this is that if people know too many of the specifics they’ll know exactly where they can “toe the line” — doing things they shouldn’t be, but coming just short of getting into trouble.That situation presents two problems:People will always push the envelope. If everyone is always just “toeing the line” then more people who otherwise would have gotten closer to it, but not stepped over, will now instead be stepping far past that line.It violates the spirit of the rule. The spirit of the rule is to eliminate content that doesn’t meet the guidelines. The more allowances you make for content that does violate them, the less effective those guidelines are at actually accomplishing their reason for existing in the first place.For that reason, nobody really knows the answer to your question except the people involved in post moderation at Facebook, and keeping that info private is as important as protecting state secrets to those people.I’ll share some observations I’ve made over the years though.More reports do tend to lead to a faster response, so it’s likely these reports are ranked in a queue, with priority given to issues with more reports. So, basically it looks like their system crowdsources rating how urgent an issue is.Even something that is only reported a handful of times will (usually) eventually be addressed. It just takes longer for them to get to than something with more reports, and thus more priority.The only way you can be sure you’ll stay in Facebook’s good graces is to not post content that violates their guidelines or terms of service.
Can you list some of the questions that violate Quora policies and guidelines?
The official Quora policy is pretty well covered in one statement: Thou shalt not commit logical fallaciesThe BNBR (Be Nice, Be Reasonable) part of that policy is covered in the entries for Tu Quoque and Ad Hominem.You're welcome to your own opinions on the facts, but you're not welcome to make up “facts.” Bring linked citations to support your claims… we WILL ask.Facts Matter.Details Matter.
Why are my questions violating Quora terms?
A lot of your questions contain unwarranted assumptions, or are trying to make a statement. Quora questions aren't supposed to make statements. They are supposed to be nuetrally worded requests for information, like this one is.On the other hand,I was warned by this site I’m in violation of asking questions… wtf happened to freedom? I have questions that I’m interested in are they trying to shut me out?This question is making a statement. You think the policies are unfair or unreasonable and are violating your freedom. Again, questions are not the place for your opinion. Answers are.Why is this app full of liberals, anti American, leftist, and anti gun enthusiast is this app founded by the Clinton foundation?This should be 2 seperate questions. The first is asking why before you ask if. Don't do that. Instead, try “Is Quora filled with liberals, anti-Americans, liberals, leftists, and anti-gun advocates, and if so, why?”The second part, “Is Quora founded by the Clinton foundation?” should be a separate question.
Why are some questions on here taken down that do not violate any of Yahoo's Terms of Service?
Because, you can't control people on here reporting questions, sometimes it takes one person to report something, and it will get deleted. Whether it violates the terms of service or not is not monitored by anyone at Yahoo anymore, it's all down to the users on this site making the decisions.
My Instagram was disabled for violating terms and conditions, but I didn't violate any. What should I do?
I too faced the exactly same issue and after beating my head for a number of hours I was able to restore my account. I followed the instructions given in this post. It really helped.How to fix Instagram Error - Your account has been disabled.Hope it works for you too. Cheers.
Does it violate Apple's terms of service if your app directs someone to a mobile website to make purchases rather than have them be done in the app?
My anwer to you: it depends.What does it depend upon? ContentAvailabilityApple. Nothing is certain in the Apple world (well except the iPhone 5 maybe). Even if you do violate the iAP policy, you might get rejected, and you might not.I'll elaborate; Ask yourself this:Am I even allowed to use the iAP mechanism for these purchases? (see How do eBay and Groupon get around Apple's in-app purchase system despite being native apps?)If the answer is no, I'm not allowed to use the iAP mechanism, then you could use whatever mechanism you like - whether it's your own native one, directing your customers to a website using a native control (UIWebView) or directing your customers to a website using Safari.If the answer is yes, meaning you are selling content for your app (including, but not limited to: books; magazines; game levels; attributes; etc.). Ask yourself, will my content only be available in my app?(let's imagine this is a nested bulletin ;) )If the answer is yes, then purchasing content through a mobile website might get your app rejected. Tip: more chance that you will be rejected if you use a UIWebView than if you switch to Safari.If the answer is no, then purchasing content through a mobile website might not be rejected. For example: Amazon's kindel app has been selling digital books and magazines although this violate Apple's iAP policy. How are they doing it? By doing 2 things:Content purchased through the app is available on every other kindel app the user owns, on every other device the user owns.They make the purchase outside the app, by switching to Safari and directing the user how the make the purchase from there.EDIT:Apple has recently revised their guidelines:11.13Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app, such as a “buy" button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected11.14Apps can read or play approved content (specifically magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, and video) that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app, as long as there is no button or external link in the app to purchase the approved content. Apple will not receive any portion of the revenues for approved content that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app
