I was not rude, racist or foul mouthed and they suspended me. I really do like this site but if you cannot have a bit of banter when someone asks a question then I feel robbed, I lost everything I worked for and now have to start back at the beginning.. is this normal????

Happens to me all the time. This is my 6th account. If you say anything that someone doesn't like they can report you and Yahoo will suspend you blindly.

I am sorry this happened. I don;t know the full story so I cannot just side with you but if you didn't do anything but be a little more honest than others can handle then maybe you should just tone it down. just a little bit. Not bring rude or harsh just trying to help you out. See I am the same way sometimes I think my comments get taken out of context when in reality I talk to everybody the same way lol. anyways have a good day don't be to bothered by things.

Same thing just happened to me a couple weeks ago. I asked Yahoo to tell me exactly why they deleted my account (I was on level 7) and they said it's confidential and they don't disclose the reason. I answered a question about OJ Simpson and I kind of implied that the African American community might support him again in his current crime. Granted, I probably shouldn't have said that but that's what got my account deleted even though it wasn't threatening or have any bad words, etc. I like to give comical answers so I'll just keep setting up new accounts as they get deleted.

yes, I was at level 7 with 29% best answers and I was a top contributor in 3 categories and they nuked me without warning and without giving any reason and no violation notices. Also they have published my real name online under my old icon without my permission and they will not fix either problem or explain. I opened a new account with the same name and they nuked it at level 1 with no reason given and no violation notices. In order to re-start, you have to go undercover.There is no appeal without saying who you are.So really there is no appeal, because they never give back what they took away. They just email you that you need to get a lawyer to find out the reason why.

Swine! Report to Yahoo Re-Education Camp #19 @ 0700 hours! As a recent grad I must confess my mind is now wiped clean of any impure Internet habits! I am now a mind-numbed robot asking questions about cleaning products and incontinence advice!!!!!

What question/answer did you get suspended for? Yahoo has a better way of protecting people from innocent people from getting reported and/or suspended for no reason.

Perhaps you need to re-read the rules of this website.
Additionally, I have seen some posts (I don't recall seeing any of yours) that were so inflammatory and horrid that I would have suspended them, if I could.
Gross, hateful or cruel answers don't do anyone any good. No one thinks they are clever.
Maybe this new start will get you off on the right foot. Use it well.

I got a couple of my yahoo accounts banned on Y/A. What you do is you don't use your main account. You create different accounts. So whenever you get suspended/banned you always have your other accounts to use.
