We're sorry, but upon review we found that the following answer was indeed in violation of the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines:
"If I have to defend myself I've already lost I qualified by an arrant fluke I avoid stupid puzzles at any cost Though I spent five minute on it to appease you. You have heard me say, day in and day out That smart people are the stupidest folks I know But my genius friend turned the paper 'bout And solved the puzzle in 2 seconds or so. He has a 160 IQ, I'm 139. I'm only a marginal intellect and that's fine."
Violation Reason: Non-Commercial Personal Site Promotion

While the REASON is not correct, the answer WAS likely a violation. Either chatting or not an answer would be my guess. What I believe happened is that there is likely a certain single button (like F1, F2, etc.) or a tick box, or keystroke combination that staff uses when they deny an appeal that designates what the reason for the violation
was. And somebody clicked / ticked or otherwise typed the wrong reason. It happens. After all, staff IS human and sometimes makes mistakes.

A more precise answer as to the correct reason for the violation would need to have the question along with your answer. Context is everything.

Yahoo is Fallible?
Another member of yahoo answers sent me a puzzle involving horses because he had heard I was in Mensa at one time. When I failed to solve the puzzle he decided I was stupid and wrote a poem about it.
IF yahoo guidelines were not a TRAVESTY and used by troll to punish the good, I could just have reported it. But the evil users who have multiple accounts and spend their day spreading misery report every minute possible infraction from one of their 50+ accounts and when you have enough bad reports you can no longer FILE reports on other users. This all the legit people are silenced and only the trolls can report.
My poem was an ANSWER to the questions posed by the user and while you may say that HIS post was chat or a rant, mine was a simple response TO THE QUESTIONS POSED.
I know you will disagree because if I do not comply with the policy of throwing an imaginary report at someone for transgressing the imaginary guidelines then I am wrong anyway. So if you are just going to spout policy, save me any response.
Read my profile. Yahoo reports the most innocuous questions and 99% of the time completely ignores the appeals. Probably human limitations right? But USERS are not allowed human imperfections BECAUSE BEING FALLIBLE IS AGAINST GUIDELINES.
Unless you are staff.
Thanks for playing,
