Question by jax555: Is it your right to find out why an ex yahoo! answers account got ‘terminated’ ?
i emailed yahoo! answers regarding this matter, I had an account which I was nearing 400 points at the time – sure I had my moments where certain answers or maybe questions were evoking thought at a confrontational level, but man oh man i’m dissapointed with Yahoo.
The LEAST I am entitled to is recieving feedback/response from their side informing me of the reasons as to why my account got cancelled right ? anything would do, if they just highlight the rule/regulation which I had violated – it would only help them and myself as I could pinpoint what I did wrong, if anything at that.
Did you have an old yahoo! answers account which got terminated ? if so, did you contact Yahoo! regarding this ? did you get a response ?
get back to me on this one folks.

This is a website owned by Yahoo!
It’s their site, their rules. Love it or leave it.
Give your answer to this question below!
I had almost 800 points and got terminated. I asked several times as to why and was only told that I had violated terms and conditions. I think it was because I bad mouthed Obama too much.

You are not entitled to nor is it your ‘right’ to get an explanation. Would it be nice, yes. But they do not owe you the courtesy.

No. It is not a right to have a yahoo! answers account. It is a privelage. Privelages can be taken away. Yahoo allows you to use their website, and you must have violated the rules multiple times, of which YOU agreed not to do when you signed up.

I had the same thing happen to me. I know I did not do anything wrong. I emailed Yahoo several times and they never responded on why my account was terminated. I also wanted to know where I had gone wrong. They just sent me a generated email that said Sorry, after further investigation we can not reinstate your account. That is all I got from them. So honestly stop trying because they wont tell you the reason they terminated your account. It really sucks. Good luck on your new account.

I had a Level 8 account that got terminated! I wrote Yahoo! several times about it, and they never even responded. I still have no clue why they screwed me out of my account. Good luck getting any kind of customer service (or even a response) from them.

Don’t waste your breath on figuring this out. Your last Y!A account was suspended for not heeding Customer Care’s warnings to cease all infractions of the Community Guidelines. That’s what happened. Remember when you first signed up for a Y! account, you must agree to adhere to the Terms of Service and the related community guidelines for all of its services you use. (Keep in mind a violation of the Community Guidelines here is, in turn, a violation of the Terms of Service.) Now you can either follow the rules or just get out of here.

I think so. I spend a lot of time at this site, and spend alot of money on high speed dsl only to have someone report you. When this happens YA is only too happy to suspend your account. I think they should make people identify themselves when they do that!! At the very least they should send someone a response as to why the account was suspended in the first place!!
Tell the guy above me to take that goodie goodie sh-t back to Barney’ playhouse

You’re saying you’ve read the Guidelines carefully and can’t figure it out?
I agree that it’s very bad of Yahoo to not explain YOUR particular wrong thing.
The only way to get a human who reads English and knows the Guidelines to respond is to ask at the Forum.
No, I’ve not had an account terminated, but I have appealed a few violations; the only time I got an intelligent response was through the Forum.
