Whoa.....I did not say anthing bad about you people! I couldn't review your q&a...I wondered why! Thanks for explaining, but really do you have to be so nasty? I've never lost my account why are you telling lies about me???
I'm no Troll and you won't get best answer, Although you did explain why "which I appreciate". I cannot and will not provide best answer status to someone who lies and in doing so works to harm my reputation in their answer.
God Bless You

When you answer a question, some people target you and report your questions and answers as abuse. Then you get your profile deleted.
Making your Q&As private makes it harder for them to operate. Then they must connect to you to see your Q/A's but then you can block them.
How sad, but a necessary protection--I answer honestly, but certian religions have targeted me. I have nothing to hide, and would gladly shout my beliefs from the roof-top. Ben
P.S.: Sometimes I recommend "The Rise, Decline, and Death of Islam in Bible Prophecy" at www.revelado.org/islam.htm That is a clue on why I'm targeted.

Was your purpose for connecting me to have me review your Q&A to find this question? You could have just followed the link to our websites, and found ten times the info that Yahoo profile could have ever supplied! Real names, phone numbers, addresses, you name it. And if you were listening to the podcasts you would hear our daily lives being discussed in each and every one of them! Do you get that info here at Y!A's profiles?
I have seriously contemplated re-oenping our profile now that the new reporting guidelines are in place, but Yahoo has made an error in their creation of new code, and hasn't realized that if trolls begin reporting each other, that they will rise to the status of "trusted" and then go back on the attack with the blessings of their Yahoo trusted status! (Ya, it has already been talked about, this little exploit found in the new system)
We started open, the trolls would go to our Q&A (like they do many) and follow down the line and report Q's & A's until the account is deleted. At this time, we are at level 5 with 5.5k+ points. It would be a shame to lose this account, and all of the time we have spent here over the boredom of the troll masses.
Much like your connecting me, and then chumming the waters with this baited question (Yes, I have bitten at a question trolled through the water now) I see that you have lost your ID, and have started over. More than once? Any other ID's you use besides this one?
If we lose our ID, we lose our entire network of friends we have gained whilst here. And as nosnod said, some of us might not see eye to eye, but we still take the time to read each others questions, and give them our answers. And believe it or not, I have Atheists in our network who have been selected as the best answer more than once! (Imagine that! An Atheist supplying the best answer to a serious Christian academic question!)
We spread the Gospel here on the internet, and would hate to have to start from scratch every 60 days with yet another new ID, but since I have been trolled, bit on the bait, and answered, I suppose I might as well open it back up and see how many violation letters I get before I have to close it again.
So feel free, look away! It's open... :-) (Now watch moon unit send me an email and tell me that I am committing Y!A suicide... hahahaha)
So now that I have explained why the online church has set their profile to private, does that automatically make my answer the best one to choose because I am speaking from first hand knowledge? One would think huh? :-)

I have the online church in my contacts, we don't always see eye to eye but I think they are good young people and their heart is in the right place
they are trying to spread the word of God and I for one thank them for it.
but I do wish they would open their Q&A just because I think that is how we all get to know one another on here. eather way it is their choice
*trolls, are people that like to steer up trouble and cause confusion and it seems that trolls are trying to take R&S over
*edit*
I asked why Christians set their Q&A to private not long ago you can go to my page and see those answers
I also asked what trolls were youll have to do some searching as I asked that question a long time ago
always nosnod

I have a problem with people who have their questions and answers set to "private", if someone is giving bad remarks they can always block them and report them.
Alot of times I will not answer just because I am not sure they are trolls so I go to look at their other answers and questions and they are private....So I don't answer.

You eventually learn to recognise trolls. They set out to provoke and pretend to be what they are not. Deceiving is the name of the game.
