How Can I Tell If This Question Is A Violation Of The Community Guidelines

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 :)

How was this answer a violation of the community guidelines?

Don't forget a video!
• Include a video of the weather at your house, with detailed meteorological data, maps and charts -- line chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, Venn diagram, Histogram, Scatter plot, Cartesian graph, Bubble chart,
Pyramid charts are worth bonus points.

• All text should be properly formatted. But, don't forget bullets. Gotta have bullets.
• No bulleting is automatically a violation for chatting.

"While verifiable, factual information is indeed exchanged on Yahoo! Answers, a lot of the conversations that take place there are intended to be social in nature.
Yahoo! Answers is not a reference site in the sense that Wikipedia is: it is not based on the ambition to provide objective, verifiable information. Rather, its goal is to encourage participation from a wide variety of contributors."

Was my answer really in violation of community guidelines etc?

I responded to the following question:
"Christians..will you ever agree on this and provide a coherent answer?"
Question Details: "Whenever I point out God's cruelty and murderous acts, or countless absurdities like stoning adulteresses or condoning slavery in the Old Testament, many of you tell me that "Jesus came to change all that" or that "That was the Old Law; it's different know".... But when topics such as abortions or graven images arise, many of you blow the dust off your "invalidated old law" Old Testament books and start chanting the Ten Commandments.... So then, what exactly is NO LONGER APPLICABLE from the OT and what IS?? Is this some sort of cherry-picking or what?"
My reply was:
"Are you really attempting to get coherence out of bible bashers? Good luck!"
For this, I got:
"You have posted content to Yahoo! Answers in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. As a result, your content has been deleted. "
Is there any way this could be reasonable?

Why is "chatting" a violation of the Community Guidelines?

Is plagiarism a reportable offense?
Intellectual property infringement is a reportable offense on Yahoo! Answers, but the process is a little different from ordinary community guidelines violations.

As indicated on our Report Abuse page, if you believe your intellectual property has been infringed and would like to file a complaint, please see our Copyright/IP Policy.

What is considered “chat”?
Yahoo! Answers is a question-and-answer community of people sharing knowledge. We provide a couple of different ways for members to connect with one another, including email, instant message, and a comments area, so chatting in questions and answers is not allowed. When people use Answers to chat with each other, it lowers the quality of the site and inhibits knowledge-sharing.

Here are a few examples of what we consider chatting:

How (are you, old are you, was your day, is everyone today)?
What are you/What am I (doing, thinking of, wearing, etc.)?
Guess my/Can you guess my/What's your (name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.)?

We also consider questions that call out other users by name to be chatting. If the intent is to ask a follow-up question in response to someone else’s question and that person is not available via email or IM, post a new question that’s open to everyone in the community to answer – there might be someone else who’s better equipped to answer it.

P.S. I am not reporting any of chatting offense here either.

Why have I violated the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines?

When I answered a couple of questions in special education with "Sorry to inform you but you should submit your question in another category on the forum." I received a message that I had violated the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines. No specifics were mentioned. I am very dismayed about that, because it means that I am guilty of:
Venting, ranting or using hate speech
Chatting or otherwise violating the question-and-answer format.
Being mean or obscene
Exploiting the community
Cheating
Violating the law
Behaving maliciously
Misusing Answers
Doing harm

My intention was to help the questioner to understand, that the question had no reference to the Special education category and to get an possible answer it should be placed in a relevant category.
This should be the task of the Yahoo Answers "managers" themselves in the first place.

But more surprisingly was, that the same answer given to another question was later chosen as best answer with 100% [2 votes] ??

Has the YA team or somebody else any reasonable explanation for this ambiguous way of behaving?
I will not answer any question anymore without a fair explanation

Can someone explain why my question "Doremi fasol latido" has been deleted for violating community guidelines?

If you just pasted those three words and didn't actually ask about them then yeah, that's a violation. If you asked a QUESTION about those three words, like "-word word word-, does anyone know what this means?" or "does anyone remember this album?" or something like that then it shouldn't've been deleted.

I was told by Quora moderation that one of my questions is insincere and it is a violation of community guidelines. Is there a way I can find out what was the question that violated the rules?

Most of the questions that appear on quora are insincere. A large percentage are pretty stupid as well. They don’t get yanked. Some very good questions do get pulled. It’s important to realize that there are many quora moderators. Not all of them are that bright. Some areas dumb as a sack of hammers.This site also has no conscience. Ants have more conscience.So that’s what you’re dealing with. That’s what we’re dealing with. However you may have deserved your treatment. The best you can do is the best you can do and keep doing it.

There was a strike on my YouTube video due to violation of community guidelines. Are there any solutions for this issue?

There is no solution to this. If you have violated the community guidelines you have to bear that. But don't worry, in the mean time you can upload and monetize videos. Just keep it in mind not to repeat this, otherwise they might suspend your account for ever. :P
