That is the ERROR999 that comes up on Yahoo Answers frequently. If you are trying to post a LINK or EMAIL in your answers, that is what is causing it. A link or email posted too many times, too quickly, triggers an 'antispam' flag that posts this error. If it is a temporary block, it will eventually time out. If it is permanent, it won't. Try posting without the LINK or EMAIL in the answer.

Yikes! Try another way.
