I got an account the other day and I thought I was following the rules but they suspended me. I was just wondering if they do this a lot and if I have to be extremely careful of the type of questions I post and answers I write. because if that is the case I'm done with this **** of a site!|||Yahoo suspends your account, but mainly it is other users who report questions and answers that do not conform with the Terms of Service http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/uto鈥?/a> and Community Guidelines. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_鈥?/a>
If you don't follow the rules, you will get reported and will get your account terminated.|||Review the Community Guidelines on the link the other person posted. If you did not violate any of the guidelines or yahoo TOS then do appeal. A link would have been included in the violation and suspension notice.
Somebody falsely reported me last week and for one violation, my account was suspended. I am a level 7 user and always follow the rules. So I appealed both, the violation and the suspension and I won and both were restored.
Remember it is always best to be polite and give specific reasons as to why your answer or question was not a violation.|||With a young account, you were either receiving many violations or more likely got a bad TOS violation.
Did you know that if you claim to be a horse on YA, that is a TOS violation. Also, posting that you are under thirteen is a TOS violation.
TOS violations are the most serious and they will zap you quick. Most people who get zapped for things other than vile, racist things do one of the following:
1. Post links or ask for links to copyrighted material, usually music or movies. Giving someone a link to a youtube video of your favorite band is illegal in many cases. Limewire is a no-no.
2. Posting or asking for sites for free but pirated software, giving keys to software, or similar illegal activities.
3. Asking for people to give them accounts to sites or asking people if you can use their info and account. That is illegal in most cases.
4. Putting up codes or asking for codes for things like Coke Rewards. That is illegal in most cases.
5. Posting your website that may have business sections or sells anything. That is solicitation.
6. Posting links to scams, get rich quick schemes, work at home scams, or spam.|||The Yahoo statement is that one or more trusted reporters must report a question or answer for it to be deleted. You can appeal and if the appeal is upheld the reporter loses some credibility. It takes a number of violations to get someone suspended, the exact number would vary dependant on the severity of the violations.|||Spend 10 minutes reviewing the Terms of Service and the Community guidelines, Abide by them and you will not have a problem
