all the people on Y/A give some comments to make their questions clear or to answer some questions. how to avoid chatting to not be reported? how can i know the line between the two
 
I can't draw an exact line between chatting and a question. I think what is not considered chatting is asking something that you really don't know the answer to. And chatting is asking something like "How was your day today?" because there is really no specific answer to that.
 
Chatting in an answer is when you talk directly to the asker of the question.
Examples:
Asking for further details.
Arguing about the question.
Answering a question about yourself.

Yahoo! Answers is a question-and-answer community of people sharing knowledge. Yahoo considers these as examples of chatting:

How are you?
How old are you?
How was your day?
How is everyone today?
What are you / I doing, thinking of, wearing, etc.?
Can you guess my name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.?
What's your name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.?
Who is from…?
Who plays …here?
Who wants to chat?
Do you like my avatar, web site, poem, etc.?
Who wants to celebrate my birthday, drivers license, first 100 points, level 7?
Where is user (nickname) gone?
Avatar games and games of any nature.
Am I/she/he/pretty?
Rate me from 1-10.

The main idea is that a question must be 1) advice-seeking and 2) knowledge-worthy.
