I was in the lead in voting for best answer too... do you think I violated?

Answer 1

Well for starters don't let a violation get you down, Okay? Because we all get them every day almost. The Guidelines are like the Ten Commandments----------waaay too easy to break!!
I would take a wild guess and say that your question looks like more of a platform to get a discussion or a certain awareness going for the Cherokee Tribe. They say not to make this a forum or a chat room or a news page. But please don't feel bad and don't quit coming back!! Good Luck!! @8-)

Answer 2

No, definitely not. That was a great answer. I'll bet the person who deleted you was second up for best answer. The abuse part of this site is automated, you know. If more than 1 screen name reports a person, they get a violation but some people cheat and have more than one account so they can report them from the 2 accounts and that way delete whoever they want. It definitely sounds like the work of a troll.

Answer 3

I don't think there was anything wrong with your question at all. Maybe the Yahoo gods need to take the time and read the question or comment before making that decision anything was in violation.
Give the childish posters too many buttons to push and it ruins it for everyone.

Answer 4

no longer that is not any longer honest they violated you no longer any opposite direction around. you have the suited the liberty of Speech and self expression. I even have study repulsive insult and attacking comments throughout yahoo solutions, and a few questions that are insensitive and out appropriate posting critiques in intents to start to start up riots interior the community. i assume with the capacity to return to a determination went to there heads. no longer many inspect until now they accuse. walk blindly to what they might handle and and solid out all that they do no longer comprehend or do no longer trust. desire you the final of success do no longer enable the self- righteous rain on your parade they feeding on it

Answer 5

I don't think you shouldhave received the violation.....however, if you tick somebody off in the slightest way, they report you for abuse. The same thing has happened to me and I'm sure lots of others.
See if they'll reverse their decision. I don't think they even read what we write - just automatically send a violation e-mail.

Answer 6

That looked like an answer to me, and a good one at that. Whoever reported you must've either had a bad day or was just jealous they couldn't come up with anything as mature as that.

Answer 7

I've gotten the same kind of violation.
Seems to me that any response to a question is an answer.

Answer 8

I liked and agree with your answer ...if you had added the actual answer (1/8) along with what you said I think you wouldve been fine

Answer 9

I would respond to them that this is a wrong violation
If they agree you actually get an excuse letter back and your points too.Been there done it.
P.Dragon.

Answer 10

people around here don't read the whole answer.they probably saw you answering a question with a question and never read the last line.
