What does this email mean?

Just got an email called: Yahoo! Administrative Notice

part of the content read:

****************************

It has come to our attention that you may have violated the TOS on Yahoo! Answers. Please reread the TOS and cease any use of your account that may violate the TOS.If your use of your Yahoo! account is brought to our attention again, and we believe that such use violates the TOS, then we may terminate your account without further notice.

****************************

Well it looks like i may be getting banned shortly. And i have no clue as to what i did that violates anything at all. They say "i MAY HAVE violated the TOS" But then do not give me the evidence where i have done this thing, so i can stop doing that thing.

This is generally what happens to me. been on here for YEARS doing the same thing, nothing differently. And because someone does not LIKE what i say, i get a vague notice like this one, then shortly after get banned.

So i can see it coming. Love All of you.

OH the question, so that does not get me banned by not asking a question.

What do you think this email means?

Update:

anonymous who said i recently opened a new account. YOUR WRONG. i ONLY have this Level 6 account, i have no other.

    It means that someone has been reporting quite a few of your questions and answers recently, but it does not necessarily mean you will be permanently removed. Sing acquire a Gmail account, and build a new Yahoo account using the address.

    A troll with multiple accounts, probably a mad little pointless boy that lives on a keyboard is reporting your answers. You are obviously a threat to his pretend game; too close to the truth. Convicting.Β 

    The TOS violation may be the YouTube link you're posting, construed as advertising when not accompanied by explanation of what the video is about or who it is or why. It needs an introduction to be assured legal, or at least a heading. A link by itself would also be a TOS violation. Don't give them reason, then you can win on appeal, if that even exists anymore. Didn't think they still sent out a Yahoo! Administrative Notice anymore.

    Saw your video; nice and simple and straightforward, and you back it up. Keep up the good work. Email me.Β
