Apparently Y!Answers can delete my question but can't put it back?

I had my question "removed" by some moron who didn't understand the question and "reported" me. It was a wordplay experiment, and categorized as such. Quite a few people got the right answer. Because Bozo thought the question was gibberish, he/she reported me and the question was removed. I got an email from Y!Answers giving me an opportunity to dispute the removal. When I explained what the question was about, I never even got the courtesy of a reply. The question remains deleted. It was an informative question, too, about how you can tell what a word is just by looking at the first and last letters of the word. For example, "cxn ylu rytd tkhs?" (Can you read this?) And the reason for the deletion? I was "gaming" for points. Hellooo - a question COSTS 5 points. It's not like this is a big deal or anything, it's just that it seems any moron can have your question deleted for no good reason, and that's not right. Wouldn't you agree? Did this ever happen to you?
