Yahoo sent me an email for violating their guidleines, deleted an answer I had posted, and deducted 11 points. There email gave no information other than I had violated Yahoo Guidelines. I questioned this decision and sent Yahoo an email requesting more specifics as to what I had written and what guideline I had violated since I was sure I had violated anything.
The response I recieved was...
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers. We will investigate reports of possible violations of the Yahoo! Terms of Service and the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines and take the appropriate action.
???? So I am still confused as that doesn't say anything at all. I did see that they gave my 11 points back when I signed on tonight.
Anyone able to shed any light on this? Does Yahoo actually investigate reports of abuse or just delete your answer or question, deduct points, and send you an email anytime someone hits the REPORT buttom?
Yahoo violations?
well if they gave you back the 11 points then your message was read and the violation was reviewed
and it was granted in your favor as you obtained the points back
Reply:no they dont remove anything that has been reported,i have seen and reported a lot of revolting things on here and so have others but still they remained,i dont know how they choose what questions to delete ,
Reply:well they dont have time to investigate i believe

If you still have questions about your deletion go to the Violations Notice Board (link below) and post your question. Yahoo staff is reading and answering it in less than 48 hrs.

Reply:Maybe they'll look into it,but I really don't think they do investigation in too the violation.They don't let you know,
what was said I've gotten e-mails back too my question,j found, the response similar too yours,.At least you got your points back those 11 points.
Reply:Good night,
It means Yahoo! will take a second look into your violation to the Community to ensure you were rightfully punished. However, you do not lose points for answers or questions that violate Yahoo! anymore, unless you appeal and lose the case.
Also, Yahoo! does look into violation notice. Many people claim there is an automatical machine that send you violation notice, which is not true. It is a REAL Human being that sends you the violation notice VIA Email, for the new moderation system is Beta and requires attention for now.
I hope this has helped you.
