No letter, no nothing - my account is gone?

Question

I ask this question here because my friends are here.

My new account; the one I opened because I was so afraid of this one getting deleted, is gone. My answers are still here but I cannot sign in to them or to my questions. I cannot sign into my mail account. I've checked my blog through this account and that is gone too, though the old page is still there.

I have been appealing violations on this account for awhile now to absolutely no avail. I recently received three violations on my newer account and was attempting to appeal two of those. Now, it won't even let me sign in to mail. It's obvious to me that my account has been deleted as my blogs are gone.

I have a feeling about who has been reporting me SO much that I should have been deleted, but that matters little. What can I do about this? There was no suspension letter, no nothing. I have tried writing to the answers and mail admins, but nothing.

This beyond sucks. It's pure sh*te. Anything I can do?

Yep, I'm asking this twice. I originally meant to ask it in R&S so that my friends there could answer as well. I'm sorry if this offends anyone; I know I'm not supposed to ask twice but at this point I think it matters little. I need all the advice I can get. Thanks.

Jack- I hardly think that having a second account can count as "repeated multiple accounts". I think you should clean up your attitude or find a place more to your liking. 0_0

Hey all - Well, i just followed Darth's advice and attempted to send an e-mail to my other account. I immediately received a failure notice. Not good news.

VC - My original (old) answers are still there but the e-mail account was deleted entirely, as were the blogs. This seems to be happening again. Yuck.

Thank you all so much for your help. I will continue to try but I believe the error message I received when trying to e-mail my newer account says everything. I do have a lot of clean-up to do on this comp. though and then I will install anti-spy software again. For now, my computer won't even install anything.

You guys rock. Steve C., I honestly do believe you're right. It's nice to think differently but I am just about positive deletions are caused automatically when trolls continually hit that report button, and I am 99% sure that is what happened here as well.

Pangel, Uncle Wayne and a number of others keep having accounts deleted because of this. I can almost guarantee I know who is constantly reporting me but it matters little. I cannot prove it, Yahoo will do nothing about it, and I doubt this new set-up they have will be at all helpful. They are the gods here. I think it's a sad shame that some people really have nothing better to do than continuously report someone until they are deleted but I have a written note from someone who has done just that - now it seems to be my turn. I'll come back but not from here. I don't want to lose this account. And all of you who have written me, I love you. Your concern and your friendship mean the world to me.

Love eachother, you all. Sing "Kumbaya" and have some sake on me.
:-D Thrice

Answer 1

I checked both accounts, too. Everything's there--or at least, it appears exactly the same as it usually does when I'm on them.

If you have access to another computer, try logging in and accessing them from there. If you can, then I'd recommend running some virus/anti spyware scans on your main system: Some of these will mess with passwords, and that may be why you can't log in. Some good, free, ones are:

Ad-aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php?PHPSESSID=725351bcab7134ac41df4a2903755e46

In fact, I'd recommend installing and regularly using both, anyway. You'd be amazed how much crap you pick up cruising cookie porn websites. (www.moistchocolate.com)

Hope this helps!

[Edit] Apparently I was wrong. The account is indeed gone. Thanks go out to those responsible, who are probably busy congratulating themselves right now.

Answer 2

It indicates you have a Y!A enemy. Often the trolls push the violation button for every questions and answer from a person they are trying to get deleted. I think most of the this suspension system is automated, and the trolls have learned how to use the system to hurt innocent people. The saddest part is the trolls aren't hurt by this system, they just register under a new name and come back to do evil deeds again. This Yahoo violation system is designed to only really hurt innocent good people, and that is a shame. I had a level seven account deleted for no good reason once, and it really hurt.

Answer 3

Some people are so petty. SO.... so petty. And I just don't understand why they care deeply about being so incredibly petty. How much time does it take? How much time and effort? All dedicated to you... they've dedicated themselves to you.

Actually...... I realize I do understand.

It's always surprising how hate can so closely mirror love, at least in certain ways. Those who hate you must care about you immensely, care so much that they've determined you deserve rapt attention, and deserve the offensive they've launched against you. They want to completely overhaul your online life, capture your attention, make you sit up and take notice of their feelings.

You need to post your appeals here (make sure to include the full Yahoo! Screen Name that was deleted):

I think that's now the only place where appeals will be noticed and addressed.

Answer 4

well i can still see your blogs on the other one (if i'm checking the right one that is).
i have no idea what you can do, it would seem like there's nothing apart from getting a new account under a completely different name to avoid whoever's reporting you from finding out who you are. then i guess having your contact and Qs private so people can't play columbo and suss out who you are. not very helpful advice, i wish i had more but the ideas i'm coming up with could incur a prison sentence.

Answer 5

Have you gone to the newer area for appealing violations? The one connected to the newer community moderation rules? Try going there and talking to a yahoo admin person. Your questions and answers have NEVER been offensive.

*sigh* I had such high hopes for the new system...

Answer 6

i hope this gets resolved...it really is too bad that trolls can pretty much get anyone that they don't like deleted.

i still think they should make public the people who do the reporting. then we would have a better idea of who to block.

i wish that i had some good advise for you, but since i don't i'll give you this instead...(((thrice baked)))

Answer 7

when my wifes account was deleted in the same way she then created a new account and contacted Y/A through it, and her account and email account, along with the other account that she had deleted were restored,
since then Y/A has created a new updated system, I am giving you the link to it,
hopefully this will work better to get rid of the stalkers, and trolls.

Answer 8

On 360, all of your other account's comments are marked as [deleted]. So despite what the others have found, it seems to me that it's deleted.

Answer 9

I'm sorry this happened to you. My son had the same thing happen to him about three months ago, and he has been asking ever since. I've even written to Yahoo, but to no avail. It seems that the people of Yahoo like to play G-d themselves as far as people's accounts go; they can just snuff the life out of the account with no chance of reinstatement. Again, I'm sorry.

Answer 10

I really thought that once school started again this stuff would stop. So much for positive thinking.

Hopefully those who were able to access your accounts are indeed correct and that everything really is okay. I will check also.
