Why did my other account get suspended?

Why/how does an account get suspended?

  • Is it by how many violations you get? Or?

  • Answer:

    Not by how many; by how severe. A single severe violation can trigger it almost instantly; lesser violations may accumulate over time without suspension, but getting a lot of them fast and furious can do it also. Those severe violations include things like: > spamming, phishing > underage (under 13) > illegal postings (drugs, fake ID, etc.) > illegal download sites / links that break copyright laws > extreme sexual content in posting / avatar / nickname > threats or violence against others or self

Here is lots of info, Primarily it isn't the number of violations but more the severity of the violations.Suspension pretty much means you are finished with that YA account although you can continue to use the email address. You can appeal but that is rarely successful, You might be best to forget it and start over again with a new account.Yahoo doesn't seem to play favorites, it doesn't matter if you have been a member for day, a week,a month or years or are a top contributor the same rules apply to everyone. It also doesn't seem to matter the number of violations but more the severity or perceived severity of the violations. Yahoo takes a dim view of SPAM, bigotry, pornography , insulting other members,racism, anything that even borders on illegal such as drugs even soft drugs, downloading movies, music programs etc. or links to that kind of stuff Any of that can mean a speedy exit.Your old points are history.Yahoo just doesn't give specific reasons for account suspension. You can read the guidelines and terms of service below, they tend to be very ambiguous, appeals are often a waste of time and points. Some suggestions, If you haven't done so, edit you info so your questions and answers are hidden that way it makes it harder for trolls who enjoy reporting violations or presumed violations to stalk you. Also, avoid pages with controversial subjects such as religion, homosexuality, racism, pornography, any hatred, downloading movies or music, drugs even soft drugs, etc. Don't give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity and if you believe you are being stalked go to other categories. You might also consider changing your avatar and I.d. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_%E2%80%A6 http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/uto%E2%80%A6

I think it's by how many violations you get.

An Earthly Hope

It is a combination of and/or can just be one violation and the severity of the violation. Take a moment and review the community guidelines and read it for yourself first hand instead of relying on a brief synopsis from us. That way you will not miss anything specific you are looking for. Good Luck! *;*
