I am sad to bring this up, but I think it is important we address the abusers who come to this forum. When I go to report abuse, there is not a category for plain abusiveness towards others. I think we need to let the head honcho's here at Answers know we need this category and let them also know we are tired of seeing others, especially our youngest members being verbally abused. Thanks for your support and/or opinion

Very good point, I couldnt' agree more.\n\nDon't you just hate people who leave stupid answers to honest questions......see your first reply.\n\nPerhaps the moderators could hold a members' survey ????

People should stop responding to any of the bs "questions" posted in here and do nothing except click on "report abuse."  This forum will soon be shut down if this continues the way it is going.  I know I am not going to be coming on here anymore if this persists.  It sounds like a lot of high school kids, if you ask me.  I enjoyed this category when people were actually being serious in their participation, even when I didn't agree with everyone's opinions and people didn't agree with mine.  Anyways, this has become a disappointing forum, to me.

Sorry, there was a post on this group in the last week. It's spam, but you can still try reporting it at http://abuse.yahoo.com/

Yeah, its gotten out of control, but I think we are partly to blame by encouraging them.  They only do this because they crave attention, especially bad attention.  If they get you angry enough to respond they have taken power over you and this forum.  If they disrupt or distract, they feel important in a warped way.  The homophobes, bashers, haters WANT you to be angry, your response no matter how nicely worded, is their reward.  Without a response they have no reward.\n \nReport Abuse and Move On (RAMO)\n \nReport the abuser.\n \nReport those that answer in support of the abuser.  The small basher need to get a smack down for chiming in support for blatant hate or abuse.  \n \nAbsolutely do NOT leave an answer or reply.  That is exactly what they want, a reaction.  They do this for the attention.  They do it to disrupt.  If you waste time collecting 2 points to say something they never will read, you are doing exactly what they want. \n \nEvery response is a reward.  You may think you are helping, but all you are doing is encouraging him/her to do it again.  Further, other would be bashers are encouraged to bash on their own.\n \nYour response also opens you up to Abuse violation.  Just merely giving your 2 cents worth is a violation.  Your two point gain, could lead to 10 point loss, or loss of all your Yahoo accounts.   REPORT ABUSE & MOVE ON\n \nDon't ask a question of the group about a particular basher/troll.  You have just given them a supreme compliment by devoting a question to them, thus ensuring they'll do it again.\n \nStill need to complain?  Then go to Yahoo!Answers message board and start a thread complaining about Trolls and Bashers. A link is at bottom of this and every page: "Tell us how we are doing"\n \nDon't use the Report Abuse function for every minor mistake or as way to shout someone down.  Believe it or not, people have the right to be dumb and people do have lapses of judgment, give them the benefit of the doubt.

Some do not know how to categorize well. This is an all-age PG site so we have kids who just do not know where to post things. Its a good idea to guide them, which you just did.

i completely agree with you, there needs to be a block on content on here. i mean, minors still have the right to ask questions on this topic, but they should have their own category

I guess you missed the "Report Abuse" links that are prominately displayed EVERYWHERE on this site. \n\nDon't confuse brutally honest answers or answers that you don't like as abuse. The internet has, at the same time, millions of idiots and millions of others that won't tolerate them. Sometimes it aint pretty.\n\nGet over yourself grandma!

If you open your question, there's a link that says "Report Abuse" right under your name.  Good luck!

I don't see this as abuse.  Why would you feel the need to report them?  There is no breach of confidence.

i think there should be a link or something that says report abuse.

Probably the woman you complained about filed a violation on you. There is a lot of pettiness on this site. I can't make sense of the community guidelines. It doesn't seem to matter if the question or answer violates guidelines or not. There seems to be a knee jerk response to anyone filing a violation. It can be for anything. Six months ago a question or answer had to be blatantly offensive. Not so anymore. People just seem to look for reasons to file abuse. It is why many people have left the site. Yahoo has gone too far to one side. I feel your frustration.

I agree with you! If the questions are listed correctly under religion & spirituality, then they have no room to complain. What else do they expect to find here?? If someone posts outside of the correct topic area then it is considered abuse, and it should be reported, just as we would report someone for posting advertising of immoral subjects somewhere. I just believe that some folks have never taken a stand spiritually and are not knowlegable about it and it scares them. So the recourse they use is, "Don't shove it down my throat".  Also as far as the other person that said you weren't being christianly by your post is wrong, being upset is not a sin.........Jesus overthrew the tables of the money changers in the synagoge...done properly it is okay.

Here is a link to report abuse to Yahoo. She should absolutely say something, as she legitimately feels unsafe.

Don't be a prude . . . but the decision is yours . . . in yahoo . . . there is usually a local abuse button.\n\nMeanwhile, can you add them as a link with your additional information . . . I want to take a look . . .
