This is just a thought but maybe because you have asked some not so legitimate questions people are reporting all of your questions. Maybe not ask any more silly questions and your good ones won’t be deleted. Just a thought.

Without details it is impossible to know as to why your questions were deleted, however this may be of some help it is long but covers most everything.
Questions without answers are removed by Yahoo after 4 days 8 if you extended it or no best answer” won the vote. You don’t lose any points.
If you received a violation notice and sometimes you don’t : All it takes is 2 “trusted” members. in rare cases only one to report you and the bots remove it. If you are very sure you have been wronged appeal it, the link is below. 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, questions about drugs even soft drugs, etc. Even the polls section. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal, talking suicide or threatening others. Don’t give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Do not use language you wouldn’t use when talking to your grandmother and that should keep you safe in that regard. Referring to others as a moron, stupid idiot Nazi, retard or anything in that vein is derogatory and insulting to other members and clearly against the guidelines. Ensure that your links aren’t interpreted as spam that’s against the guidelines. Pay attention to the definitions of “chatting and solicitation , and what constitutes a question” Never insult another member, threaten, harass deliberately mislead or post anything in questionable taste. If you admit you are under the minimum age of 13 chances are you will be reported.
Should you have axe to grind, agenda or cause to promote be it political religious social or anything similar, no matter how well intentioned you may be, this is the wrong place to promote it. Check the links below for more info.
