Has the Yahoo! violation system changed?

Question

I've had questions removed, but they do not deduct points, and they don't advise me either.
Strange.

Answer 1

They've done the same thing for me.

It's either changed, or we've worn them down to hollow shells of the people they used to be and broken their spirit.

I really hope it's the second theory...

Answer 2

I had questions removed too and no points were removed nor did they tell me anything about it. I suspect that either the person i chose as best answer got reported by others or reported his self before he got chosen as a best answer.. Yeah only my resolved questions were deleted. But if i was reported then yes i would get those things, getting mail from Yahoo! Answers and lose ten points. But my questions now do get removed but they are unresolved so that means that someone reported me. But if they are resolved and i get reported for it i will lose points.. It has happened to me a couple of times a few weeks ago.. Both ways have happened so nothing changed.. But.. You know the deal LOL. Yahoo! Answers never changes unless something major happened..

The rules of engagement are to take no prisoners. That also includes no forewarning of any kind too.

I can appreciate their effort to "cleanse" the system, but their efforts kind of got out of control. Sort of like a blind man on the trigger end of an UZI blasting in all directions in the hope of taking out the bad guys.

Some innocents just got caught in the ambush and we all suffer from it.

Questions that don't get posted is still a mystery to all of us when they are perfectly legitimate questions.

Maybe. I received a violation today. I don't think they removed points. What caused your violation?

Well this is Yahoo so you really never know. Wait around something else will change again soon.
