Do you wanna know a tip I just discovered?

Question

I just discovered that if you ask a question & go look in that particular section of open questions & your question wasn't posted by 4 minutes, then that means someone reported you. When you notice that, & you delete your question, you won't get a Violation Notice. I had to do this several times because some people take my questions the wrong way. It's better to lose 5 points rather than 10, right?

Answer 1

Good advise but not always true. Yahoo is so slow at posting sometimes. Like today. Not my questions but the questions of a friend who follows all the rules and doesn't get violations.

Answer 2

I didn't know that about looking for it. I did know that if someone deleted the question before being violated that it didn't count. That is how some of the people get away with these horrible questions that they know are wrong. They post them and then delete them before getting violated.

Good tip. You are pretty sharp to figure out the timing of that.

Answer 3

No I didnt know that as I am kinda on the slow intake. But i will take heed of this. I just thought someone didnt see my question or it wasnt interesting enough to respond too.

Answer 4

Yep....I noticed it too...and do it all the time...but I also think that questions with certain words go immediately into the Yahoo sort box and then are deleted.

Answer 5

I wish I had known that earlier today! It happened to me too! There aught to be a way to find out who's doing all is unwarranted reporting! If we could see who they were...I bet a lot of this stuff would stop!

Answer 6

i try not to ask stupid questions!

Answer 7

thanks for the warning.
