It was a chatting violation. Usually this is tolerated more in the poll and survey category but it looks like you were unlucky and got reported. Asking for personal preferences and opinions is considered chatting.
I think its kind of stupid to not allow surveys like this in the polls and surveys section , but then again- yahoo does a lot of things that make little sense.
( I know it's not as sexy - butt - that's how it is) I often get raided on my polls questions - for chat vios don't worry about it too much - non offensive chat won't get you suspended butt - knuckle, in the context of the question - I think is passable as long as you don't call a fellow user that some reporters are very strict on chat - others not - also - sometimes some people post a lot of borderline content and all their questions will be reported best wishes blaise EDIT: I just had a quick glance at your account - nothing bad is sticking out - so seems like you just got unlucky - keep posting.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
