Today when I opened my e-mail I found like 10 mails telling me that my answers on yahoo answers have been reported as not proper.Ok so i checked which ones.Surprise:all of them were in the pets category.I am lazy to answer all kind of silly questions so usually I answer to animal health related questions. For example someone was describing the symptoms of her dog and it was clear that the dog had Babesiosis.I told her that she should see a vet,told her about the gravity of this disease and gave her a link about this disease.All the other answers were like:go see a vet,period.And guess what,my answer was reported! I submitted appeals for all my answers.Almost all of my answers in pets are chosen best answers usually. I begin to believe that a member simply started to report all my answers and I don't understand why some people are so frustrated.

God! I had the same terrible experience with you! Twenty three answers of mine are reported to violate the Guidelines in three days! I was so sad and disappointed at Yahoo.I made the appeals abut no answer for my appeal.I swear that all my answers are with care and true.From that day on I didn't visit Yahoo anymore.

I quited yahoo answers a long time ago. I never received a reply to my complaint. This proves that the yahoo customer service doesn't exist when it comes to yahoo answers. It is their lost after all because my answers were professional, from a well prepared person. Probably the one who reported was the kind who answers with 2 or 3 words in a language which proves a very low education.

I hope the situation will be solved.I already submitted Appeals for all the answers. Now they are suppose to manually check those answers. The only thing that they will do if the breaking rules report is fake is to not give so much credit to that user ratings anymore.There should be a protection against this type of activity.

it may be they were expecting something other kind of answers.. but 10 ?? it's big number in 2-3 days.. may be some frustration or may be someone who also answers the same question wanted his/her answer to be on top.

This is what shocked me also.It may have been a question that was wrong,but 10?!And all the answers were from yesterday.I mean I answered them one after another.I believe someone that also answers in the dogs category did this so her/his answers get awarded.

I don't know how to answer this but some people act in a wrong way or they just make fun of others. Anyway, just do your thing in answering questions and let this one passed by. It's a part of a system too. Anyway, good luck in giving your answers in yahoo answers. :)

i think it's because you gave a link, to a site, and it's suppose to be illegal!
