Another problem with Yahoo Answers - bad answer, question removed?

Hi,

there is a problem with Yahoo Answers.
In the following question asked, I have got a wrong answer.
And what was removed is not a wrong answer, but a good question.

What's wrong with Yahoo Answers ?
I am asking my questions in good faith , to solve serious problems with Yahoo Mail Security and expect to get right answers.

Suggesting me that I select Yahoo Mail option, which I didn't select
is acting in good faith, as I have already described the problem with details.

The problem is Yahoo Mail is 2-level Sign Out Algorithm,
and Yahoo Answers is 1-level Sign Out Algorithm.

So I have already signed out from Yahoo Mail
and am still signed in to Yahoo Answers and can ask this question.

Not using Yahoo Mail, signing in to Yahoo Answers,
signing out is 1-level Algorithm and on signing out from Yahoo Answers I am already signed out from Yahoo Network.

So 2-level Sign Out vs. 1-level Sign Out is a serious security problem.

I have learned to copy and save my questions as Yahoo Answers
deletes legitimate questions from time to time.

Additional Details

follow-up

None of the reasons given by Mr.NicK is right.
The issue is I requested Yahoo Answers to remove wrong answer, selected as the only best answer.

I was right, as selecting bad answer is confusing both for the person asking a question as well as for the Yahoo Community,
broadcasting wrong answers, designed as the best, world-wide.

Acting that way we can vote to call white black
and vice versa and have such answer selected as the best one.

So removing my question was a wrong decision.
Unfortunately, I am afraid, Yahoo Answers has had no other way to remove the wrong answer.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

► The number 1 reason for questions being removed is because they violate the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines and or Terms Of Service, which you agreed to abide by when you created your Account. (Chatting/Solicitation/Insulting other users/spam etc)

You may have thought your Question was perfectly acceptable, but maybe unbeknown to you your question may have violated the Community Guidelines and or Terms Of Service.

►You did not receive any answers by the time of question expiry(4 days)

► The best answer to your question was reported, which unfortunately also deletes the question

► Your question went to a vote and the voters didn't think any of the answers deserved the best answer, so they voted 'No best answer'

Yahoo! Answers is a community moderated site, meaning normal users like you and i are the moderates here, it takes only 2 reliable users to report a question before it is removed from the site.

Which does mean that certain users called 'Trolls' could have targeted your questions which may have been completely innocent.

Advice i would give you (if your question was deleted due to a violation)

-Thoroughly read the community guidelines & terms of service before participating anymore on the site, then you are familiar with all the rules and will know if you are breaking your agreement.

    I understand what you are saying, the problem is Yahoo can not delete answers unless they are a violation. Since you did not receive a best answer you thought worthy. You do have the option before it goes to voting , of selecting no best answer, So it is left up to the community. & we the people voted. So it received best answer fairly & was not in any way a violation to cause it to be deleted. In order to accommodate you as the ask-er, the only option yahoo was left with was to delete your question. I would have left it .To be honest 1 week after it is asked chances of any one other than yourself ever seeing the question or answer again is slim to none unless it received several stars,for the question, or thumps up for the answer*
