For some reason my answer to "What is your favorite ice cream flavor?" was deleted.
I said that I like coconut ice cream, that I find it refreshing and that I also like chocolate ice cream.
What is wrong with that?

What did I do that somebody has been going to all my answers and giving them thumbs down (or maybe just reporting abuse for no reason)?
What have I done?
I mainly answer in food.
How is giving somebody a recipe (I don't just say "go look it up") worth somebody being mad?
Here are some of my answers if you could please tell me what is going on:

Coconut ice cream has always been a favourite because when I was young we used to go for Chinese food every Friday night and after we would have coconut ice cream (it really is refreshing).
We used to be able to get it in the "normal" grocery stores but now it is harder to find.
I usually get it at my local Chinese grocery store.

And for some reason I don't get e-mails from Yahoo anymore saying things like "your answer has been chosen as best" even when it has?
Do you get those e-mails still?

THANK YOU for your support everybody.
There is a board you can go to with complaints.
I find it very confusing but hopefully somebody will help.

To the person that asked about the CMA exam
Please post a question and leave the web address here of the question.
I am sorry but I don't give my email address out.
I will be happy to go on and on about the CMA (but the testing has changed this year).

Yes this question has gone on and on
but my answer of
"coconut"
or "4"
were short.
And even if they did go on and on
it does NOT deserve to be reported for abuse!

Some people just have no lives.
SAD!
I am glad that there are some people that still give good answers like you do.

Keep persevering and do not let them mess with your head.
It looks like you may have an bunch of jealous kids with possibly lv. 6 accounts themselves or people scrutinizing what they think is point gaming. It is obvious that they think they can reduce the competition by frustrating people like yourself to voluntarily remove your account. As for trolls, I fail to see the reason for removing the answers though this sort of question might belong in the Polls category.
I disagree in principle with allowing anyone being able to remove a post. Try posting your email a good half dozen times under different headings to try make a dent in the deluge of mail that they must receive each day. Didn't school start already ?

I don't know what is going happening with your answers, but I have had the same problem. I give an answer that answers the question, and get back a "violation" because my answer was neither a question nor an answer. At one point, I was so frustrated that I email the "yahoo violations police" and asked them to review this. I got my points back, with no comment.
Someone is going along marking answers as abuse, or violations for kicks. And those of us who don't protest are letting them get away with it.
Good luck. But, I don't think we are really going to get things changed.

I have also found some very rude people here.
I have looked at your answers and noticed your answers here before. I love Poutine, yummy French fries! You normally give really good answers.
Why are some people so angry?
I come to this site and avoid the hot topics like religion because I just want some happiness after a bad day. Why do some people want to ruin this?
I hope that the people at yahoo smarten up!

I too have suffered with a troll tag . It is someones idea of aggravation for no good reason . At first I took it personally , as if I had done some horrible awful thing . It is just one of the downfalls of this whole rating questions and answers thing . Move on to a different topic category and maybe your troll will just move in on someone else . I agree that it is totally unfair and uncalled for .

While the "cups in quart" answer is completely within guidelines, and as such shouldn't have been deleted, the Ice Cream one falls under the CHATTING category of abuse.
The question itself is against site guidelines, see Terms of Service for an explanation, and therefore has no place on Y!A, so obviously any answers are also CHATTING.
Though it does take a particularly petty person to go through and report all answers.

The same thing happens to me,there are people that that get on here,go to questions and send violation notices for no reason,Yahoo deletes the question,It's a pain but if you e-mail Yahoo they will return the points.Remember some people have no life !! I also get the thumbs down a lot,Stalkers !!!!

I see nothing wrong with your questions or answers. I have had it happen to me many times. I check the boating questions and my answer is gone many times. I do not answer a question that I do not know the answer to and I do not use foul language. I have tried to ask Yahoo what happened to my answers but never got an answer. Is there a way to tell if your info has been deleted? I do foods questions too as I was a foods and nutrition major.

I guess someone is just messing with you. Sorry that is happening -- I don't see anything wrong with your question.
Anyway, I've always loved both chocolate and coffee ice cream but have a soft spot for strawberry. Some of the new blended flavors are delicious too.

I am no longer getting my e-mails from yahoo either. I asked about it a while ago and didn't get any answers but for me to turn the e-mail notification on in my profile. Well, it always has been on and I am still not getting them. Its nice to know that it's not just me, I was beginning to think I hit a button somewhere without knowing!! lol
