Soliciting on Yahoo Answers

Soliciting on Yahoo Answers a lot of people Seem to Do it and Think its Ok Well its
Not its Against the Rules and Im going to Explain More About it and Why its Not Ok

Soliciting is when you Advertise Something Rather its For Profit Or Non Profit

it Doesn't Even Have to Be Business Related to Be Considered Soliciting

Here are Some Examples Of Solicating

Add me on Facebook
Can you Watch This Video For me
Can you Follow Me on instagram
Add Me as a Contact on Yahoo Answers
Click This Link For me
Like this For a Contest
Can you Send me Money

All Those are Considered Solicating

Yahoo Answers Does Not Allow It For a Few Reasons

If you Want to Advertise Something you have to Pay For it on Yahoo Answers thats how
Yahoo Makes there Money by Using the Answers to Advertise Something you are Not Giving
them any money

And its Also Annoying to the Regular Users Who Do Not Want to Add you or See the
Question

Yahoo Answers is a Place to Ask Questions NOT a Place to Advertise your Facebook

What Happens if i Choose to Do this ?

your Question Will Get Reported And Removed And Yahoo Answers Will Take Action By
Taking Away Points they May Even Suspend you Depending on How Severe the Violation is

If you Do it Once or Twice They may Just Remove it and Take Away Points if you Do it
Over and Over and Over And Over Again they May Suspend your Account

Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like "Will you add me as a contact?" or propositioning people
