I would like to know why my answers account has been suspended but all I get is a stock answer. I would like to know the point of deleting an answer and suspending a user when the answer in question has been sitting there for 6 MONTHS. Also, since when have verifiable facts been considered a violation? Come on YA - you supposedly read all mails. Surely a question like this from a Level 7 contributor warrants more than a stock form reply.

I appealed my question but my appeal was declined. There are too many trolls out there and many times I appeal my deleted/reported questions and they remain deleted. PS: I thinkwe should also be able to have more than 200 contacts. Thanks!! I asked a question “What are some good riddles/jokes?” and it got reported.

My answers are fact based, with citations, and focus on the fact that such treatments have been proven time and again to be nothing but placebo. However, some other Y!A contributor(s) report abuse against my answers, and I've even had an account suspended. My question is this - how do I find out what I did wrong? My answers are factual, supported and calmly worded. When I ask for an explanation as to what is wrong with my answer, I never get one. How can I alter my answers to fit within the Y!A guidelines if I don't know which guideline I've violated? Or should I just avoid this topic completely, and not attempt to provide an alternative view? Thanks and Regards, RickK Hello Y!AT,

I hope we see more new posters there. That said, I'd like to echo Anoneemuuse's concern about what happens when users with high 'trust' ratings report systemic abuse. Only the instance that was reported gets taken out in that case. We need some way to flag spammers and career trolls. Reporting 6x on an account takes time away from answering :( Hey – Great to see you guys promoting the Suggestion Board! I hope we see more new posters there.

I had a answer that was reported and the person looked for my answers just to report them. I was also sent horrible messages through YA! I applied and was my answers were reposted but I lost out on several best answered as a result. It took three months for the appeal process and the person doing the reporting later apologized to me for getting out of hand. There has to be a better way. The spam is horrible. I have noticed the same spam posted by 6 or 8 different profiles. This means one person has multiple profiles or the are working as a team. This has to be addressed and soon. I agree completely.
