Well, someone reported it and it was removed… I wonder why.
Hi dsdramamama,
The answer you gave on Yahoo! Answers was reported by the Answers community:
“Have you checked out http://thedramaofdiaperswappers.wordpress.com ?? DS is okay, if that’s your thing. But, it’s also so big, that if you’re new, unless you do XYZ, you’ll have a difficult time buying and selling there. There have been lots of scammers lately, lots of people doing chargebacks after getting their merchandise, and the powers that be there seem to be on a new power trip.”
This answer has been removed. You may not have realized this, but all answers submitted on Yahoo! Answers must comply with the Answers Community Guidelines.
If you believe that your answer does not violate the Answers Community Guidelines, and would like to appeal the removal of your answer, you can have your case reviewed by Answers Customer Care. You have 7 days to submit your appeal.

Wow…who knew Lee ran Yahoo Answers as well!?!?
well then….
So what guideline did you break?
Psssh lame
Not sure which guideline I broke… but, I’m sure they only found it because I posted it on the blog.
I appealed…. just for the hell of it. See if they can at least let me know WHY.
Wow lol someone is bored. I would have appealed too. I want to know which rule you broke.
Have they responded yet?
nope, still no answer. I should have saved my response and posted it, but I didn’t want to give DS a heads up on what I said and the proof of what I said. It’s not like you cant go on there and find proof of everything I said.
Their response:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.
We understand you would like some additional information about your
content removed from Yahoo! Answers. Please use discretion and common
sense when posting your personal information on Yahoo! Answers. Please
note that it is against Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines and Yahoo!
Terms of Service to spam, advertise, or solicit on Answers.
* Personal websites or email
The preferred method is to provide the information on your profile page.
However, when it is directly related to the answer you’re giving,
sometimes it is helpful to include personal links or an email address in
the answer.
For example, you’re the proud owner of a couple of cats and run an
informational web site about caring for cats. You answer a question
about cat grooming and include a link to a page on your web site with
detailed information on the topic, as well as your personal email
address for people to contact you with more questions. If you host
sponsored ads on your site, be careful about posting links to your site
in every answer or you risk crossing over into spam territory, which is
not allowed.
If you post your personal web site (including your MySpace page) and
email in every answer whether or not they’re related to your answers,
you could be in violation for solicitation or spam.
* Personal information
Please remember that Yahoo! Answers is a live site. Any personal
information you post can be found by anyone on the Internet, so please
use discretion. It’s OK to sign your answers with your name as long as
you’re not violating another rule while you’re at it.
* Business websites or email
There are many professionals and business owners providing valuable
knowledge and experiences on Yahoo! Answers. By identifying yourself as
such and providing great answers, you are building credibility and
positive brand image. You may also provide your business URL and contact
information on your profile page.
However; please do not link to purchase pages in your answers, include
your website and contact info in all answers, give low-quality answers
coupled with links to your site, or solicit for clients. Do not answer
questions directly related to purchases that can be made at your
business (i.e. you own an electronics business and you answer a question
asking where to buy iPods, or you’re a dentist answering questions about
which dentist to go to), as this behavior can be considered spam.
I replied that I didn’t break any of those rules. No revenue from this site. No ads. No personal information, etc.
