My answers are getting removed. I know I don't ask the brightest question, But there are some really bad ones out there that get to stay. I have been flagged on some really stupid stuff, but have gotten away with some very offensive answers that I thought for sure I was going to get flagged on. I do put out some good answers when I come across a good question. Anyone else getting their questions deleted and answers flagged that aren't offensive?

The only time I had a violation is when I answered someones question who wrote so poorly that I couldn't exactly understand what he was asking; so I asked if he could clarify. My answer was removed. A day or two later, his question was gone, also.
I have to agree with the first answerer. [It seems] that once a few bad "marks" are given to a question, it's gone. I've heard complaints for people before who either ask very interesting questions, or give very intelligent answers, and receive a violation notice later that day.
In fact, there is a person on the Yahoo! Answers Help Forum who has this repeatedly happen to her. So she posted all of her well-though out answers in a thread until Yahoo! gave all of her points back. Yet these stupid/insulting question are still on here, as well as the hate-filled answers that fill them. I have NO idea how this site is being run, but it's being run poorly.
To correct this, Yahoo! should transfer monitoring of Answers back to the Answers Dept, instead of Customer Care. CC is trained to help you when your email is not working, or your auctioned item has disappeared; they are obviously not trained to run an extremely large interactive site like Answers. The answers Dept was better at this, and the mistaken deleted questions/answers were few and far between.

I had a question on whether Deepak Chopra, a promoter of New Age was selling snake oil. It got removed after it had already been answered!

entire place is policed by those here. the thumbs up, thumbs down, positive, report buttons are all done by those that read the questions.
by computer coding, once a question receives a certain amount of any bad marks, its removed.
blame those that read as they are the judge, jury and executioner

Yes
I don't think anyones answers should be removed unless they are using curse words or r rated material.
Other than that, it should be free speech. No one can answer back from whatever answer you write so it does not matter.

i do no longer understand this the two. why ask a query in elementary terms to correctly known the solutions which you like. some people ought to easily enhance up and understand that anybody is entitled to their very own opinion. (except the respond is being racist or some thing)

Answers get removed, because some tattle-tale goes crying to Yahoo! Answers, and they take it off. I had my entire Yahoo! account, which I've had for 5 years, deleted, because I repeatedly posted comments on Yahoo! Answers, which drew objections from readers. It seems "Free Speech" isn't totally respected here. I think that Yahoo! Answers should have a section devoted to explicit views. White Power!

This is basically a christian sounding board, if you disagree with , or challenge Christian ideas, you will be reported, and your content will be arbitrarily deleted, don't worry, it's not important... not really..
