Does 'format misuse' include asking a 'question' in order to post an ANSWER to a different question, due to having been blocked?

Not sure about the being a violation part but it could be circumventing the system which is wrong and might be a terms of service one.

Personally i cannot understand why someone who is blocked would ask a fake question just to answer the question where they are blocked on.

I think i saw that question and wondered about what it was about with the ranting at and accusing someone who supposedly asked a question that was baiting them to answer but had blocked them so they couldn't.

A rant is a rant no matter what and could be reported and should be so it is not perceived to be the right thing to do.

EDIT, Found the question https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160...

Ranting in any part of a question or answer is a "chat" violation.

Reporting is an option subject to each user's discretion.

the one you got the ba for

it could be reported - but you'd be a ***** - this is also a call out of sorts

let it go

section needs to cool off and concentrate on rebuilding the site

you have excellent skills and a lot to contribute

you also know the answer to this

EDIT: can you clarify - was it the one you got the ba for - because your answer could be chat/flame - and if you felt strongly it was a vio - why did you answer

If a rant, all that other does not matter. Report it.

...without a shadow of a doubt!
