Thanks for your support "my team". I'm going to leave this 'question' up as long as possible for an 'in vote' to see if this is in violation. The whole clock thing is pretty cool though don't you think. RScott

Answer 1

There are some really mean people on Answers anymore.. the worst part is, anyone can report things and there seems to be no risk in reporting and points are taken away without investigation. I've been reported for offering an opinion when the question specifically asked for an opinion. It cost me 5 points. I contested the violation and was returned my points, but it was a pain.

There are trolls who offer stupid answers and ask dumb questions and then report you. Idiots. They're everywhere.

Y! Answers was a lot more fun before all the jerks showed up. I've nearly lost interest.

Answer 2

Aren't Google and Yahoo having a little financial war at this time? I heard there were some hassles regarding EBay and Google and Yahoo auctions. You were probably offending Yahoo by mentioning Google. Found out about this little "misunderstanding" between the 3 biggies in Antique Trader. I find absolutely nothing wrong with your answer...someone was probably just vacant when they read your reply. Maybe the word Google is a no no right now while the big 3 duke it out.

Also I used to be a top contributor and in a matter of two weeks, while I moved, Yahoo dropped my top contributor status. Still have no explanation for this so I have stopped contributing. Actually my gardening right now is taking precedence over Yahoo but I will be back soon.

Answer 3

Same thing happened to me. I asked whether any one had had experience growing granadillas in the Northern hemisphere, and my question was deleted. Can´t say why. But I do find the idea of a flower clock very interesting. Just a pity that most of our summer is past. But I will try it next year.

Answer 4

Why not contest the violation? Maybe someone made a mistake? It couldn't hurt to try. You've helped so many people with your great answers.

Answer 5

Maybe because you used google instead of yahoo? Makes no sense to me why you would get a violation.
