Why did all my answers get deleted?

Why would a Yahoo! Answers question that asks "How old do I look?" get deleted?

  • Just wondering, exactly what rule does that violate? I'm not asking "AM I PRETTY??????" or anything. I honestly wanted to know how old I look, because I'm looking for a job and I think potential employers think I look too young. I just wanted some opinions, why was my question deleted?

  • Answer:

    Because it qualifies for chatting, sorry. Had you mentioned that you may have problems because potential employers think you look too young, and had you asked what could help to make you look a little older and more mature, the question would have been legit however.

It is chatting. Read below. What is considered “chat”? ⚭ Yahoo! Answers is a question-and-answer community of people sharing knowledge. We provide a couple of different ways for members to connect with one another, including email, instant message, and a comments area, so chatting in questions and answers is not allowed. When people use Answers to chat with each other, it lowers the quality of the site and inhibits knowledge-sharing. Yahoo! Answers is not meant to be about gaming or playing a game, it is about sharing knowledge with other Yahoo! users across the world and, for this reason, questions involving gaming are not allowed. Here are a few examples of what we consider chatting: How (are you, old are you, was your day, is everyone today)? What are you/What am I (doing, thinking of, wearing, etc.)? Guess my/Can you guess my/What's your (name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.)? Who is from…/Who plays …here/Who wants to chat Do you like my (avatar, web site, poem, etc.)?* Who wants to celebrate my birthday, drivers license, first 100 points, level 7? Where is user (nickname) gone? Avatar games and games of any nature We also consider questions that call out other users by name to be chatting. If the intent is to ask a follow-up question in response to someone else’s question and that person is not available via email or IM, post a new question that’s open to everyone in the community to answer – there might be someone else who’s better equipped to answer it. * Please note that exceptions to this rule would have to satisfy two criteria: The question would have to be 1) advice-seeking and 2) knowledge-worthy. For example, it would be OK to ask, "How can I improve my poem?" or "How do I make my avatar look more attractive?" ℬ ℋ

"Rate me" type questions are violations for chatting. No one knows if the poster is the individual in the photo or someone trying to hurt another person. also, most members don't want to log in every day and see 25 "Am I pretty" questions. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/abuse/guidelines-14.html
