I re-read the Guidelines in light of the recent P&S masacre of all the Avatar Games.......
This is the link to the guidelines:
http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines.php
***avatar games don't violate the rules in general so long as the content of the game itself isnt objectionable...... under the stipulations of the posted rules (in terms of contract between yahoo & it's participants) the questions should not be pulled, as they do not violate any such rule therein.
*sorry i had to write avatar that way... but they may just pull the Q based on the word.....
but whatup with this? Avatar Games are fun!

This is rule 18:
18. Engage in chatting or personal correspondence. Some examples are:
How are you?
What's your name?
How old are you?
What time is it?
To state that all avatar games are in such violation of this rule is a stretch. (While i'm certain that some have, that is not the standard for all of them). Therefore to use rule18 as the standard by which the games are judged for being in violation, is objectionable and out of context of the given rule.

Also, then couldnt it be stated that TROLLs who needlessly 'follow' you around reporting your Q&A just becasue they don't like you, or want you to lose points are in violations of rules:
6, 11,12 & 13?
Then why do their accounts stay active?
Y/A needs a better system of determining what is and what is not, a vaild violation......

It is considered chatting, I think. They aren't really legitimate questions, which is what this is for, but I could care less if you play the games. If you don't want to answer, don't answer. It's as simple as that. That's what I do.
