Would anyone have reported me for my last question?

Question

I recently offered someone 10 points about their knowledge of world capitals. Turns out I was breaking the guidelines of Yahoo Answers, so I deleted the question. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was breaking the rules. I just wanted to apologize to those people who answered this question, and didn't get anything for it. I really am sorry. Would anyone have reported me on it? If so, I completely understand. Thanx.

Apparently, you're supposed to post the questions for information only, or something like that. Didn't really understand it too much.

With that in mind, is there any way to bring back a question that was deleted?

By the way, for those of you curious as to the answer to my question, even though no points are to be given. A lot of people said Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and Zagreb, Croatia. Good guess, but not quite exact. According to my sources, Abidjan isn't the capital of Cote d'Ivoire anymore. Yamoussoukro is the capital of that country now. So the real answer would be Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. and Zagreb, Croatia. Thanks for answering, and again, sorry if you wasted your time on it.

Answer 1

I wouldn't have reported you.

Answer 2

They might have, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, as people report others ALL the time, and for much less than what you apparently wrote. And, some of the stuff that is on Yahoo is FAR MORE OFFENSIVE than anything you might have said about world capitals, or whatever. These "reported" Q & A's are not ACTUALLY reviewed by anyone at Yahoo, and the Violation Notice is automtaticallly generated by the Yahoo system Really, I wouldn't worry.

Answer 3

First of all, I didn't report you. I was in the process of finding an answer to your question when it was deleted. I believe the problem is that you opened with offering 10 points - points gaming - and you didn't phrase it as a question. Your actual question came later under details.

I think that if you had started with the question and left out the reference to the 10 points you would not have been in violation of the guidelines.

It wasn't a bad question, but it wasn't specific enough. You said national capitals, and I presumed world capitals, but you could have meant US capitals. Don't be disheartened... Keep asking questions.

Answer 4

Carfax purely comments incidents that are reported to the coverage companies. If there at the instant are not the different entries for final reported mileage, this skill that the final reported odometer examining grew to become into while the vehicle grew to become into new (8 miles). only FYI, do not constantly count on what Carfax says. A vehicle could have been wrecked and repaired via the owner and not reported on coverage, and the Carfax checklist gets back using fact the vehicle in no way being wrecked.

Answer 5

I had one of my answers taken off and all I said was "Who Cares" and it was about a sewer running. So who knows why and I did ask why an never recieved an answer. I guess it violated the guidelines.
Why is it that the rest of the smut on other questions is OK??
Oh well thank goodness we are not in this for a sheep station.

Answer 6

You're NOT the one "Gaming For Points". That's part of the process to award 10 points. A person would be guilty of gaming for points by something like:

* thanks for the 2 points and not giving you an answer respectively for your question.

* pick me for best answer(stating this for an example, not asking for the 10 points, however I won't complain if I get it)

*

Answer 7

I don't understand how your question could have violated the community guidelines. It's gone, so I can't see it, but you've gotten my curiosity up. Can you hint at what the violation was?

Answer 8

I wouldn't have reported you and it's hard to understand why anyone would. I report those using Questions to spread offence, racism and bad language.

Answer 9

Nope. I love answering geography questions!

Answer 10

I do not know as I did not read it.

I guess I need to carefully read the rules myself.......♥♥♥
