It says one of my questions was deleted b/c of point-gaming?
Anywhere in your question, did you offer points? Or offer "free points"? If you did, that is considered point-gaming. You may not have realized that it's a violation because you've seen it before. But some violations slip by and don't get reported. Just ask your question, preferably putting your question in the very top where the question goes, instead of using that as a subject line. You risk a "not a question" violation .





Point-gaming clearly is explained here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers...
Reply:If you prefaced the question with anything like "TEN POINTS TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWERER", you fell into a trap of your own making. It may have been an innocent ploy to get more people to answer you, but in playing the point angle so hard, I think you made your question a target of reporters, and subsequently, the admins of answers.
