Why do some answers only show up in my notifications?
I can't upvote or give favorite answer to certain people sometimes because their answer will only appear in notifications, it does not appear on the question page, even if I try different browsers. Weird.

Certain words and/or phrases- sometimes a style, like all caps or repeated words, flags the spam filer- then an answer becomes ghosted. Only visible in notifications, but not to anyone else.

There are a couple of things that can happen.
1. The answers were deleted as violations before you looked.
2. There is a glitch that causes some answers submitted on certain phones to not show unless the answerer edits the answer. There is nothing you can do.
