hmm...was wondering why a QUESTION I POSTED has been removed?
- i dont remember not voting for an answer
- i dont remember if i removed it (sorry ...*sheepish grin*) but i experimented on removing another question of mine to be sure but there is no prompt anywhere where i can click and remove a question for that so most likely i did not remove it
- my question is not foul , the question was "is anybody famous or a celebrity, personality using YA now"?
- i can still see a view of my question in gray color (just a view among the list of questions) but I cannot open it so i dont know if it was resolved; it just says after the question "this question has been removed", also in gray color - both words and background.
- i posted a similar question and its still viewable

It's possible some obnoxious troll hit the "flag" icon and reported you for abuse. Yahoo removes questions and answers that are reported without independently checking to see if they really violated the rules. Trolls love to make bogus complaints and they aren't being punished for it. Welcome to YaHELL

Please read the Guidelines for using this site.
Being foul isn't the only rule.
You were engaged in "chat" -- which is also a no-no; there are others.
The reason one was removed and another wasn't is someone who understands the rules happened to see and report one, but not the other.
There is no way to have any question seen by everyone who happens to be on this site at any given moment -- that's hundreds of thousands of people.
The purpose of the site is to get answers to questions, not "hang out". That's why the no-chat rule.
If there's something you want to know, or you want advice, that's what this site is for.
As I say, read the Guidelines. Then abide by them.

Since you posted a similar question it was probably considered as a multiple posting and removed by Yahoo.
