Is it that they wont allow it or they haven't shown up yet? If it's the latter, give it a minute and they'll turn up I'm sure.

Here is what I suspect is going on. Just over a week ago Yahoo! Answers inaugurated what it is calling Phase 2 of its troll defense system. This involves some kind of hush-hush software that Yahoo! Answers Team (YAT) refuses to talk about further than bragging how great it will be (lol). For about 6 days the number of troll attacks was in fact greatly diminished. Now the trolls are beginning to find ways to bypass the defence system and get back in.
Meanwhile I have noticed in the forum (Message Board for Yahoo! Answers) a significant increase during the past week in complaints about unjustified deletions of questions and answers here in YA. So it seems the new software, whether intentionally or otherwise, is targeting much more than malicious trolls. You should yourself go to the forum (click Forum upper right any page here) and complain, giving the exact details of what was deleted and why you consider it unjustified. If you post this in YAT's sticky for Wrongful Violations & Suspensions before 5 PM (I think PST) a YAT representative will respond the same day (they will not return to work till Jan. 2 though). That is not to say they will necessarily DO anything to overturn the deletion but YAT will "investigate the matter" (or so it says).
I myself have recently started a thread in the forum stating that the time has come for Yahoo! to create within YA an Ombudsman Department to represent the users of YA. As things stand now we have no real representation, no spokesperson who actually cares about us. If you make it to the forum you might want to check out that thread and some of the other interesting ones there as well.

Follow community guidelines strictly.
A guy reached a wrong destination in Canada thinking it is Sydney, in shorts and thin shirt, expecting summer, due to a mistake in typing the name of the place.! while booking his online ticket.
