Loan Consolidation Center

Why have certain questions I have posted been removed?

I was looking through my past questions here on Yahoo Answers, and a few of them have been removed. I’m just wondering why that is, considering there was nothing offensive about these questions.
One was a question about the USB port of my MacBook not working. Another was about in-store optical centers. And the third was about Student Loan Consolidation.

Your question(s) or answer(s) were removed from Yahoo Answers most likely because they were against the Community Guidelines or were illegal. Yahoo Answers staff removes answers and questions that violate the Community Guidelines or are illegal at regular intervals (they have an automated program that does this), and they manually check the removals over every once in a while.

Another reason why your question(s) or answer(s) got removed is because a “troll” reported it. This happens fairly often to people, especially when they ask questions in the P&S category. Just ignore it and move on if this happens. If you know who reported the question by chance (although this is highly unlikely), block that user.

Questions are also removed after 4 days of having no answers, or if someone votes “No Best Answer” for a question of yours.

You can always appeal questions or answers that are removed in violation of the Community Guidelines within a week of their removal, although you are most likely not going to win the appeal. Recently, though, many people have been fairly successful at appealing, so your appeals might be won.

Hope this helps
