Here was my exact question. Do you like this video? And I put up a link to show the video of a house decorated with Christmas lights playing to a song!

rather inane however maybe chatting in someone’s mind.
If you received a violation notice: All it takes is 2 “trusted” members to report you and the bots remove it 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, questions about drugs even soft drugs, etc. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal Don’t give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Pay attention to the definitions of “chatting and solicitation , and what constitutes a question” Never insult another member, call them names or post anything in questionable taste. If you believe you are being stalked go to other categories. You might also consider changing your avatar and i.d.
Yahoo will not give any specifics when a question or answer is deleted.
Here is the link to appeal: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/first_appeal.html;_ylt=AqSixcLqgNB6qjbOqvw87AVs5SN4?from_url=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.answers.yahoo.com%2Fquestion%2Findex%3Fqid%3D20090927213232AAg7HxB

It is a chat violation. Rate this, your fave, and all similar question fall into that category. They are questions that are just for you and do not benefit the YA community at large.
Chat is defined in the YA Community Guidelines (link at bottom of every page). There are specific things listed that you may not think are chat, but Yahoo defines it that way and you have to live with it. You should go to the site dizzay.com and see what a YA type site looks like when chat is allowed.
Just stay away from questions that simply ask people’s personal opinion or personal information. Those can sometimes be ok, but most of the time they are chat. Stick with questions that only ask for facts, figures, and data like a teacher might ask in school. You can ask for example Paris Hilton’s age, but you can’t ask what people thought of her dress. You can ask “What is a good SUV for a big family?”, but not “What type of SUV do you drive?”.
Chatting is asking questions that can only be answered with personal opinion and to which only you and the answerer will give a hoot. You can tell most of these by the presence of pronouns (I,we,you,me,us) or pronoun adjectives (your,mine,ours). If these are present your question will be chat 90% of the time and if you can not rewrite the question without them, it is chat 99% of the time.
People have different takes on violations, but I hope you will reread the community guidelines for other types of questions that are not allowed and specifically spelled out such as Fill in the Blank questions (link at the bottom of the page).
