But that's all right. We ALL can play the reporting game.

The asker probably reported you as they felt offended by your answer. They chose the wrong reason of violation from the drop down box. I got reported for answering a question with an exclamation mark (apparently not an answer). Don't bother contacting customer care. They don't reply. Learned that the hard way. I know it sucks to get reported by dweebs (according to someone who answered one of my questions Dweeb is ultra-insulting so don't report me LOL).
Addendum: Guys, he ANSWERED the question he didn't ASK IT! Read before you answer.

Your answer had nothing to do with the question. I actually think that the question should have been pulled under the violation of "insulting other participants" or something like that. But I do agree with you, it was a stupid and uninformed question...but state your reason why. To think that their was no terrorism before America, or hate, violence, or crime in the word is an immature and foolish concept. The questioner was trying to get a rise...and you rose. Next time, try to inform him...but nicely. He can not help that his mentality is that of a lower species.

Lucky2 that's a chilling video,I know it happens everyday.I'm just glad they caught that scum and the officer lived.They need to rot in hell.
Yahoo has a system that catches key words or phrases
it can be very indiscriminate in its violations,But if a person also got a violation for an answer of the question ,then someone reported you .

Sure. I answered a question like this- "Huh?" because the question did not make sense. I received the same notice. Obviously Yahoo! has written software to flag anything in a grey area. Oh, well.

I do not think it is automated, I think someone took offense at you calling the question stupid. My boss always tells me there is no such thing as a stupid question.. however I do not think he has ever been on Yahoo answers. The bottom line is that to be on here we have to abide by the rules. May I have some coffee????

It was probably the poster who reported you
you really think they have software that reads all the questions and answers and can tell if they are real questions or answers to the questions?

They hate me also. I had to make a whole new account. I am rather abusive to the foolish and stupid, I guess freedom of speech only goes so far at Yahoo.
I have more names I can use

sure it is,,, Americans did not create terrorism, we were victims of a terrorist act on 9-11 and other terrorist acts have occurred in America and throughout the world,, but I find child molesters and rapists to be terrorists and the people of the US would do well to rid our civilized nation of each and every one,,,,
