My account was also deleted as well from Yahoo! Answers. I was a level 6 person who soon got his account removed for no reason at all.
Then I found this place, which is a very great place to be here.

And I'm glad you came here. :)

I think I made the right choice rather than trying to get my account back. =)

Admin or Troll? It would be hard to say who pushed me under the bus.

I contacted Yahoo and they "stated" my account wasn't violated. But were unwilling to reactivate it. So I suspect that trolls hacked into my account somehow and canceled it. But Yahoo admin wasn't to willing to look into it any further. Thats why I answered as I did.

I never thought of that aspect of it. I just got suspended for no reason and nobody at yahoo admin would tell me what I had done.

Scooter Sep, 18 2007 at 06:18 PM

You never know what your up against when you aren't able to deal with something, or someone face to face. In the long run it was easier to create a new account and block everyone suspicious. Some on Yahoo were taking it way to serious. But I still check in from time to time.

On Yahoo Answers. I was one of those Top Contributors, that became a victim of Trolls. Close to level 7, and then wiped out. I got to many best answers, and to many complimented me on my avatar, so I became targeted. I took it really hard, I mean ridiculously hard when I opened my email, and saw I had my account deleted. I tried fighting it to no avail. I went through 12 different accounts within two weeks time. Some were suspended that didn't even have any activity on them!...Yahoo Admins don't seem to care, because they know you can turn around and replace your account. It's soooo much better here!

No and I don't go to Yahoo Answers because I have heard all the horror stories that came from other users who had attempted to try that site.

Answer 10 out of 15

by Arisztid in a COAT of Rromani awareness on Feb 9, 2008 at 11:58 pm Permalink

I was a victim of them in that they let trolls drive me off the site.

By the time I left I was the victim of 22 clones, 35+ accounts to defame me. They deleted and VN'ed people who tried to protect me while protecting the troll themselves.

I walked away from a level 5, TC account. I did not go quietly. I wrote to them, my friends wrote to them, I hit the suggestion board and I was greeted with the big Ignore.

My troll did not like Gypsies and used that plus my being bisexual to attack me by the constant cloning. You just cannot fight that level of cloning. When I saw people say to my clone that they thought, at first, that "I" (the clone) was a decent guy but now realized that "I" (my clone) am a racist, "you Gypsy prick/bastard/f*cker", I (me) decided it was time to go.

I realized that the clone had done his job.

Oh you wouldn't believe the crap they pull. Everything bad that you have heard about Yahoo is true.

Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today Mar, 08 2008 at 05:18 PM

That's why I was afraid to continue since I have a yahoo email account and I heard you can lose it so I naturally didn't want to go any further.
