M asked: I have received two consecutive highly unfair and unjust violation notices:
Question: aayi nikat nikat ye samasya vikat koi iska ticket kataa de meri maa mujhe bachaa le…?
Deleted Answer: Why don’t you ask in the correct category, and let us move on? Best, M
Violation Reason: Misuse of the question and answer format
Question: Could someone give me the notes to In My Arms by Plumb? please I would like to learn it on piano?
Deleted Answer: Are you sure you’re in the correct category for this type of music? Best, M
Violation Reason: Misuse of the question and answer format
There. Simple enough. I had told both askers politely to please ask in the correct category. I did not deserve twenty points taken off my total. I think this is getting way too out of hand. Some of the answers Yahoo! claims to be “Misuse of the question and answer format” are real answers. Like one answerer from my network notified me about this (I had answered this, but I deleted my own answer because I was afraid the same cr@p was going to happen to me):
Question: suggest a tattoo for my guitar !!!!?
Deleted Answer: Classical musicians do not strive to destroy their instruments.
Violation Reason: Misuse of the question and answer format
Wow, the questions are getting really silly, while the actions of the Yahoo! staff are getting ridiculously careless. Believe me, I kind of think they are bots. I think any human with a good sense would have not deleted any of those answers.
People on Y!A will continue to ask disruptive questions here. Why doesn’t the staff delete THOSE questions, leave our ******* answers alone, and deduct ten points from their total – for trolling? Do you think they really know how to mistreat a sincere answerer genuinely notifying one of the disruptive questions? It really isn’t the points that matter – it’s the principle of providing a valid answer but having it unjustly removed – mainly because it wasn’t what the asker or another party really wanted to read.
@fierydog – your answer does not have anything to do with this question.
@P!nk: I am not rude and depressing, and I really hope my account doesn’t get suspended at all. What are your sources for such? I did get a little bit gloomy when I found the first bits of your answer in the mail: “You are rude and depressing, and I hope your account gets suspended for multi…”
@petr b: you make a good point. However, when I answered the second question, I *did* leave a link to JW Pepper in the “sources” box and the third answer wasn’t the author of me. Perhaps (for the second question) if I had put that link in the “answers” box or worded the entire thing differently, the software wouldn’t have detected my answer. Perhaps I would still have my ten points if I *worded it differently* “It’s not classical, it is under copyright, but I am certain JW Pepper has it here.”
@fierydog – Apologies! I have to agree with you, the children take up the majority of Y!A. Given the questions (and sometimes answers) a scarce amount of mature adults are here. I must admit that I’m get
