Yahoo just hit me with a violation for my previous question about an article in this week's Time magazine titled "Does God Want You To Be Rich?" becuase it wasn't a question...
I responded to them to explain the violation since the details ending with the comment, What are your opinions?
In your experience am I wasting my time with this, will they respond and reinstate the question and points?

Way to completely miss the point, Soleil Noir...

and it's 10 points, which I've already made back...
I'm asking because I was curious and nothing more...

Violations are stupid. Answering with "**Vomits profusely**" got Jibba Jabba's old account suspended. I asked him, "How can they suspend you for being sick?"
It doesn't make any sense.

*sigh* You are wasting your time.
You should ALWAYS file a protest for the violation, to at least protect yourself, but I have been pounded with "Not a question" violations as of late and have even been placed on official notice that I can be suspended or deleted without notice.
The points are gone, gone, gone. The question is gone, gone, gone.
And I have found that the "Not a question" catagory really is a place to lodge a complaint against your answer or question, when no other catagory fits the bill.
It's only an OPINION that it's not a question or an answer.
When you file your reports, I always challenge that this violation is an abuse of the Report Abuse system, as the person is making a judgment call, not based on facts but feelings.

I had two posts removed. In both of them, I responded, by justifying why the violation was unfair. In both cases, I got no reply and my posts were not undeleted. I still think it was unfair both times, but I never got to know why it wasn't according to Yahoo.

I was just hit with a violation myself. I think that was a valid question, and far more substantial than all these idiodic questions posted by idiots that we have to wade through everyday. So many idiots get to post dumb @$$ questions and answers and get away with it, but we who actually respect the concept and community of Answers are persecuted. I totally feel you, buddy my friend, and your violation was absolutely unfair.

No, they will not respond. I have asked them in the past to respond to my violations with no success. Looked like a question to me.

Violations seem to be dished out capriciously. There is clearly very little, if any, thought processes behind them.
