Yahoo suspension with no explanation.. Help me get my account back.
Due to a disagreement I had a small group of people go back through my posting history and start reporting for no other reason than retaliation. When I asked for specifics I received a cut and paste reply with a refusal to actually explain the suspension. I was a top contributer and while topics became heated in politics at times I was by no means violating the policies and certainly did not deserve a suspension. It seems this is becoming the status quo at Yahoo as they allow the equivalent of teachers pets and children to police their system. I would like my account back that I had worked so hard to develop.
I’m aggrevated.

Inappropriate?I had/have a yahoo email account. Three days ago, I was unable to log on to it. I sent yahoo customer care an email, and received a reply saying that I had been suspended from my email. When I replied, saying that I hadn't done anything and wanted to know what I had done to violate the terms and conditions, they said it was confidential. I have a lot of important stuff on ythis email.
I’m frustrated and annoyed/ sad

Inappropriate?I’m having the same problem with yahoo. Someone went through answers and flagged all of my answers, and I got the same form letter responses as the person posting here.
I asked for an explanation as to how what I wrote violated the TOS and of coarse I just got the second form letter saying it had been reveiwed and did indeed violate the TOS. Still no explanation...I seriously doubt this review was done by a living person who understands english. In fact here is one of the “violation” answers:
Question: I want to flip or rent a property, I have 5000 to invest. Is their a program or a way to start?
Question Details: This will be my first real estate purchase. My credit isn’t the best but, I’m repairing it now. Is thier a program or a way that will allow me to start with $5000.00 and is this the time to invest with the market the way it is? And what kind of property ( distressed,foreclosure,etc.) would you recommend?
Deleted Answer: If it’s your first real estate purchase, I suggest living in the property. You’ll have a much broader range of financing options available to you as an owner occupant instead of an investor. If you’re willing to fix the place up while you’re living there you may be able to get a better deal on a fixer...but don’t try to do too much. Paint, flooring, fixtures that’s about it for the first go. Look for a property priced so that you will be comfortable with the payments so that when you’re ready to buy your 2nd property, you can rent it out and not lose money. Best place to start is by talking with a local Realtor and lender. If your credit isn’t repaired enough for approval there are other options. You could find someone who wants to partner with you and co-sign the loan. You could find a lease option, but I don’t recommend that in most cases.
Violation Reason:Community Guidelines and/or Terms Of Service Violation
So, because I participated and answered someone’s questions in good faith with the intention of providing useful information, I may now lose all my emails and attachments after years of being a loyal yahoo customer...and with absolutely no reasonable explanation or warning. If I had known that was possible, there’s no way I would have even bothered with yahoo answers in the first place.
btw, If any one can see how the answer above could have been a yahoo answers violation, please let me know. I’m just looking for a reasonable explanation, not a mindless form letter. -

Inappropriate?Z, I was not suspended, but warned. Still not sure why. My language was as respectful as Damon's. Here is the actual wording:
Subject: Answer Deletion
Additional Information: Here is the text of the question (not
deleted)and my answer (deleted):
Question: is there any legit work at home data entry jobs.im really
stressed cause ive been looking for a long time?
Deleted Answer: Don't know that it will be data entry in particular,
but Clark Howard, the nationally syndicated consumer reporter/protector,
maintains a list of legitimate work-at-home jobs on his website:
www.clarkhoward.com Good hunting!
Reading through the Community guidelines, I cannot see where my answer
is 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; or Doing harm. I also read the
Terms of Service, and cannot see where my answer violates them.
My feelings are hurt; this was intended as a sincere answer to help the
questioner locate a legitimate work-at-home opportunity.
If I violated the spirit somehow of the Community Guidelines or Terms of
Service, it was unintentional, but I cannot see any violation. Where
did I go wrong?

Inappropriate?Yeah i had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I made a comment and it got flagged. I had said "Why don't you visit a torrent site." And bam my account gets suspended. I figured maybe you shouldn't talk about such things, but i was curious and decided to Google the topic and there were several yahoo! answers topics about "Torrent" sites. So i don't understand how i got suspended.
If your going to suspended me for saying a comment. Then you should suspended all those other people for starting the topics and commenting to them.
I’m Angry

Inappropriate?This has just happened to me, but I have no idea why. I have never received a complaint about an answer. I don't know who to contact. I sent an email asking why and receive a quick reply saying that my appeal was denied.
I’m very upset
