Does 'format misuse' include asking a 'question' in order to post an ANSWER to a different question, due to having been blocked?

Saw this earlier, a user who was blocked from answering one question posted a question, then used 'Details' to post a blathering rant ANSWER to the other question.

Is it OK to do that? Or should that 'question' be reported? And if so, what would be the violation?

Thanks.

Actualización:

Odd, this question was won back on appeal, but 2 answers that were here when the question was reported are no longer appearing here. So, apologies to those users.

Thanks to all who answered.

    Not sure about the being a violation part but it could be circumventing the system which is wrong and might be a terms of service one.

    Personally i cannot understand why someone who is blocked would ask a fake question just to answer the question where they are blocked on.

    I think i saw that question and wondered about what it was about with the ranting at and accusing someone who supposedly asked a question that was baiting them to answer but had blocked them so they couldn't.

    A rant is a rant no matter what and could be reported and should be so it is not perceived to be the right thing to do.

    EDIT, Found the question https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160...

    Ranting in any part of a question or answer is a "chat" violation.

    Reporting is an option subject to each user's discretion.

    Fuente(s): If I reported every single instance of "chat"... all 8 of my fingers & both of my thumbs would be gushing blood & wrapped in medical gauze.

    the one you got the ba for

    it could be reported - but you'd be a ***** - this is also a call out of sorts

    let it go

    section needs to cool off and concentrate on rebuilding the site

    you have excellent skills and a lot to contribute

    you also know the answer to this

    EDIT: can you clarify - was it the one you got the ba for - because your answer could be chat/flame - and if you felt strongly it was a vio - why did you answer

    If a rant, all that other does not matter. Report it.
