Is there a "discontent" virus going around?

Perhaps I'll be deleted for the first time, but I'd really like to know how others are feeling about Yahoo! Answers. So many of the very best suspended without explanation; in spite of overwhelming support, not restored. Many are leaving. I've emailed the "team" six times to inquire why I no longer get alerts for Best Answers, only because I like to thank the person, & they've not given me the courtesy of a reply. I've for so long enjoyed whatever contribution I could make, received emails thanking me, but I'm feeling it's time to leave. I've made beautiful friends, but I can still keep in touch. I wasn't able to answer for a couple of days, & my "badge" has been taken away--not that it meant much--but does this mean I have to chain myself to my PC every day? Do you get the sense that the "community" truly has no voice in anything? I've somehow fared well, yet the "plight" of others depresses me. Have you thought of saying "goodbye"? This IS a question & I'm stating facts.
