I'm Confused: How Can Other Users Suspend Your Account?

This is a fallacy,anyone using the violation/abuse flag without just cause, will be penalised by lack of future consideration by Yahoo, when making any further contact . Also ,possible loss of their account.In that case, the lost account means, E-Mail etc etc, and,at the very least,total loss of any future credibility in Yahoo answers on the same account.Just take the time to read the guidelines to reure yourself.As Stephen K says ,above, if Yahoo moderators are not doing the job properly ,then mishaps may happen.If this does occur ,there is always a price to pay for those who do it.
