Preventing Yahoo Answers Suspension

[GekiDan]

Since we are on the Yahoo section, I would like to discuss about Yahoo Answers. On my recent project on Yahoo Answers, my account gets suspended without notice. They haven't even state the reason of my suspension.

I'm planning on making another account. So how can I prevent another future suspension?

Why did you get suspended in the first place?

Like were you advertising or something?

Honestly, I'm promoting my site through a link placed on the source box.
But as much as possible, I stay in topic and answer questions respectfully.

They suspend accounts for almost any reason they think is in violation with their TOS. I have had over quite a few accounts suspended. Agree that some of them were solely for promoting my website but the others were value added answers with links yet they were suspended.

What I learnt is...
Never post all answers in one section/topic.
Do not place links for each answer.
Do not use the same answer more than once (that is do not copy paste).
Also ask questions.
Use more than one account.

These tips should at least slow down the rate of getting suspended.

How long do they normally take to figure it out?

Lol never tried yahoo answers , because of their policy. I will never be a top contributor. I i get to this i will be banned after that so , no reason for using them , if you don't know hot to do the whole work without getting baned.

I have been doing it for a while and I have only been given one warning.

It depends on how you spam. The faster you do it the faster they take you down.

are there people/moderators on yahoo who personally check your answers?

I am sure it can't be automated so it has to be manually by someone.

I once remember I replied to about 10 answers in 15 minutes or so (copy paste) and while I was answering the 11th question I already got the suspension notice.
That was some quick moderation.
