If you have someone reporting you for no reason...is there anything you can do?

Question

I am sure you can't do anything about it but just wanted to vent a little :)

I asked a question about a cake recipe in the cooking section-and still got reported and my Q removed! What's THAT about? (Don't report me please,lol)

Answer 1

If you had a legitimate question, appeal the deletion and it should get restored! !

Answer 2

Try emailing YA back and ask why your question was removed just for asking a recipe :D

Some people report others just for fun.

Answer 3

I had that happen also, I guess I ask too many questions in the ramadan section!!!

Answer 4

all it takes is 2 wahabis to report a question  or an answer

Answer 5

There is a place on the violation notice for appealing for a re-evaluation.

If you think you have been wrongly reported, click on the objection appeal and state your reasons for the appeal.

It doesn't always work, but I believe in struggling for justice.

Answer 6

sis, if you look at right on top of this page, you see "Forum". Click on that. If you scroll down a bit, you see on the right side "Appeal form". Use that to appeal.

I have appealed using that form 6 times in the last couple of weeks. All my questions/answers got reinstated! :-) (eat that reporting squad! :-p)

It will make the ones who wrongfully reported you lose reporting power too if you win the appeal.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I have appealed many  times and I knew I said nothing wrong and they still   did not reinstate nothing...I don't think they even go back and really read anything, they just take points away from you....good luck with it

Answer 8

Well yahoo do give u a chance to appeal ! And if u think Ur question did not violate  the Yahoo terms and conditions then they will reinstate Ur question !!

Answer 9

nothing as at all set your edit info on private then that way only those in your contacts can actually view your Q and A. there are lots of trolls in this section so they will just keep reporting
