It will depend on how you format the question.
"What are the pros and cons of switching…..?" is a great question.
"What do you think about switching….?" is pure chat under the YA rules.
Note the first asks for facts while the second is asking for pure opinion and can simply be answered "stinks" which is not useful. However you say deleted, not violated. There are several reasons Qs are removed.
1. It is a violation of the rules – you will get an e-mail when that happens. If you want to know the reason for the violation, post "Why was this question (answer) a violation?" and add the original e-mail you got so the users can see the exact context. The experienced users here will explain it to you. There is no statute of limitations on breaking the YA rules.
2. There were zero answers when the time expired – no e-mail sent.
3. The BA was reported as a violation – no e-mail sent.
4. During voting, "No Best Answer" was chosen as the best answer – no e-mail sent.
Look in your e-mail, including the spam folder, for a violation e-mail. If not there, check your activity tab in your profile. If nothing about a violation there, then the Q was removed for one of the other reasons.
As long as you posted your question in the women’s health category, you should appeal the violation. It only takes 2 people to make a report before something is removed and there are a lot of people out there who are very much against family planning of any type so they just impose their narrow-minded views upon the rest of the public. When you appeal and the question is reinstated, they will lose their influence with their reporting and it will take a lot more than just two to report violations before perfectly valid questions are removed again.
Your question(s) or answer(s) were removed from Yahoo Answers most likely because they was against the Community Guidelines or it was illegal. Yahoo Answers staff removes answers and questions that violate the Community Guidelines or are illegal at regular intervals (they have an automated program that does this), and they manually check the removals over every once in a while.
Another reason why your question(s) or answer(s) got removed is because a "troll" reported it. This happens fairly often to people, especially when they ask questions in the P&S category. Just ignore it and move on if this happens. If you know who reported the question by chance (although this is highly unlikely), block that user.
Questions are also removed after 4 days of having no answers, or if someone votes "No Best Answer" for a question of yours.
You can always appeal questions or answers that are removed in violation of the Community Guidelines within a week of their removal, although you are most likely not going to win the appeal.
Hope this helps
