Reporting doesn't always mean that Yahoo takes steps against your question or answer. It goes to a "mediator" who reviews the accusation along with the question or answer that was reported. If it's a true issue, then Yahoo acts upon it, and if it's just a kid (or adult who hasn't yet matured) trying to start trouble, it gets ignored. If you were contacted by Yahoo about it, that means that there was something in your answer that coincided with the reasons why another poster reported you. I don't know what was said, but maybe your sarcasm came off as an insult to someone else. Chances are however that if a person is a chronic reporter, that means they're constantly reported as well. Karma, or whatever you want to call it, lol.

i have in user-friendly words ever stated one guy (two times) You all recognize him, he continuously posts "That wasn't a question, and is in violation of the Y&A blah blah, so i'm reporting you" I report that an rant and threats.

I know it`s crazy sometimes,perhaps it comes down to yahoo`s answers team at times,someone sitting there pissed off and decides that they have the power and why not use it.
I got a violation today for answering NO to a question and they told me that NO is not an answer????

It happens. People will report you if they simply don't agree with your answer. It has happened to me and lots of other people too so don't feel bad. It would be nice if people could just grow up.

Don't worry about it, I was reported because someone didn't like my question.You can call it virtual revenge, cyber karma, or whatever, doesn't matter now, just suck it up, and move on.

i get reported all of the time, at least 6 times a day for no other reason than i disagree - you're right, it's positively juvenile

oh don't worry about it. happens all the time. it's even worse in the political forum. critiquing George W Bush usually gets you a violation.

my friend a couple of weeks ago got her question removed. it was about computers and she thinks its somebody who works at Best Buy because she said some really negative things about that store.
