  They're famous for not explaining themselves. Nominally, they're trying to avoid getting bogged down with explanations and counter-explanations. Trolls will happily troll moderators with interminable arguments. I hadn't heard them accused of doing so just to avoid paying out. I wouldn't put it past them, though it does seem like Hanlon's razor would apply -- that it's stupidity rather than malice. In the case of Quora Partners, the program attracts large quantities of very repetitive questions with little guidance on which ones cross the line from merely boring ("Who was the star of movie X?") to unacceptable ("What fruit starts with A/B/C/D...?" "What is 74+1? What is 50-3?...") Even if I knew their questions, I couldn't tell you if they'd find it acceptable.

    Sure, but if this were a case where they offered just a generic form email with no real explanation, why wouldn't OP put it in the post? That would support the cause that this is Quora acting badly. Instead, there's just the vague reference to it, which suggest the actual communications are being left out for a reason.
