It varies.
People who commit 'terms of service' violations frequently lose all Yahoo accounts - email, IM, paid services, etc., as well as Answers, often after only ONE violation. Many TOS violations are things which are illegal in the real world - fraud, theft (NOTE: this includes questions on how to do illegal downloads like bit torrents, requests to use someone's account on another site, how to hack others' accounts or computers), threats, and more, but also can include spam.
'Community Guidelines' violations are usually less severe - 'chat', 'not a question/answer', etc. - and even if you get a lot of these violations at once, you mostly only lose your Answers account. Assuming a reasonably active account, 1 or 2 minor violations a month PROBABLY won't lose you your account.
Be aware, though, that Yahoo reserves the right to delete an entire account for one single violation. If your other Yahoo accounts are important to you, it's a good idea to either move them to a separate ID from your Answers account or read and scrupulously follow the site's rules.|||dunno probably loads but you'll never get an answer cos they'll be suspended and unable to tell you innit
|||well why not set up another account and use it to report yourself. and see how many it takes before your suspended....
i think it could possibly work on a percentage of total answers so the less answers you have the fewer violations you need to get suspended.
but who knows only those that have been suspended know the answer
