Can you tell me why this paranormal question is "not a question"?

Question

"Did you see the Sylvia Browne "follow up" on Montel today?"

Please tell me what's wrong with that as a question.They said it's"not a question". I got a Violation for it. I really want to know so I don't make the same mistake again. I think it might have been in Resolved Questions when they did it.

Answer 1

never heard of syliva browne or montel.

Answer 2

I would describe Sylvia Browne as a well known charlatan rather than psychic.

Answer 5

Someone can claim that about anything they report and get it removed - Yahoo doesn't check to see if it was real.  And you can't get it 'undeleted'.  I had several questions deleted from this section that were definitely valid questions - you answered a few of them :) - but they all got deleted.  Some people are strange.

Answer 6

I'm curious who that fourth troll is.Mycroft posts a lot of questionable information.Today's troll report is a good example.Stating as fact,what he has no evidence of.We all get violations and I suspect Eri,Peter and TR get more then most.I know I do and I'm pretty sure I know at least one of the flaggers.Still,I've never once hit that button.To answer you're question,no it shouldn't have been removed.You may get it reinstated on appeal.By the way,I didn't see the show.

Edit.I think visiting those"real" paranormal sites is a great idea.If there is such a thing.

Deenie, I didn't report your question, but I suspect it may have been "chat". The community guidelines for "chatting" are very vague and subject to the interpretation of the YA team. If they felt you asked a question that had little knowledge content associated with, e.g., simply for discussion sake, they might flag it for chat. I found a couple links about chatting for you.

Since I've got troll(s) reporting me, I personally have had success in getting many of my falsely reported Q&A restored, so you might try that. I provided the link below for making an appeal.

I'm not sure where Mycroft is coming from, but eri and Peter are hardly trolls, always provide informative answers and in fact are victims of trolls giving out false violation reports. You can think what you want about me, but the last thing I am going to do is give anyone a malicious violation report. I grew up a long time ago, I don't need to do childish things.
