My experience has been that Y! account nuking is just random. I have received over half a dozen warnings over the years, none of which informed me of what exactly I had allegedly done to earn them (although in most cases the timing indicated disgruntled adversaries resorting to skullduggery in lieu of wit). My old mitmosnar nym racked up the bulk of them, but was never nuked.
I have had one account nuked, and that one received no warning or explanation at all.
The comment that appears to have caused the nuking was one my wiseacre wife posted wherein she mocked the M'OG PJ outing by suggesting that JVM "has a copy of Journey to Ixtlan in his back seat". Oddly, the rest of the thread remained, although the whole thing was devoted to listing JVM's many "crimes", such as taking more than 12 items to the express aisle or wearing socks with sandals.
From these experiences, I get the impression that Y! admins are able to arbitrarily nuke accounts at their personal discretion, and may at any time choose to do so according to the state of their hemmerhoids, the barometric pressure, the alignment of the planets, etc
So, if some tard frames his complaint just so to the right pair of ears, you are out of luck.
