Here's the deal. I've actually contacted Yahoo regarding this issue because of my stalkers. This is what I've learned.
If a user reports you, you will receive a message that says in the subject line "Your answer/question has been reported by the y/a community".
If you receive a "VIOLATION NOTICE", it does NOT mean you've been reported by a yahoo user. It means that a y/a auditor has decided your answer or question was in violation of the guidelines.
It was explained to me that when YOU report a question or answer, they will look at your q/a history to determine if you're an upstanding yahoo citizen as well as look at the q/a you reported.
They also do random audits of all users accounts. So chances are, if you have a violation from a question that was closed weeks ago, it's becuz they were checking you out.
I'm so tired of people complaining that their haters are reporting them. In my time on here, i've only received about 10 violations due to being reported by a user.
