what would you do if someone bannes your ideas from the web?

I don't understand the question.  How can anyone ban your ideas from the web?  Did you follow Community Guidelines?

Do you have the option to ask people to register before posting?  If so, you should start doing that.  That way you can ban people from posting if they break your rules.  The downside is that people can and will register again from a different e-mail address, but if you just keep banning them with a minimum of comment, they may eventually move on to an easier site.  Another option, if you technology  allows it, is to set the site so that you have to approve each post.  In that case, you can just remove posts that are in violation without saying anything, and they will go away quickly.  The downside to that is that unless you have all day to spend screening posts, you'll be making a lot of work for yourself and a long delay for your posters.  There may be a way to set the spam filter to catch certain pro-ana phrases, which might help, but since members might use the same phrases while discussing recovery, that might backfire.  You might try re-posting this question in the technical help section of answers, and get a technical solution from someone with experience screening websites.\n\nOne thing you need to be firm about:  don't debate these people.  It sounds like you have a good grip on this already, but just don't enter into conversation with them.  You owe them nothing.  Write one generic note explaining that they have posted in violation of website policy, and send that same one every time.  Send it to their e-mail address, do not allow the "debate" to be public on your site.  It will only fuel more responses.  Do not apologize, do not negotiate.  They are ill, that illness is causing them to believe irrational things and act in irrational ways, and they are probably not that emotionally mature in any case.  It's time to remember the immortal words of my Uncle Joe: "You can't argue with Crazy."  Or anyway, you can't win.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about, but I wonder if this is a 'heartfelt' apology from the bottom of your "Christian" heart - or if you've been given an ultimatum by Yahoo! to either apologise or be banned!?!

If this supposed username is a stranger and you did not contact him/her in any way, shape, or form, then do not respond to what he is telling you, whatever it is. If he is an aquaintance, then ask him yourself what it is that he wants you to do. There's a good chance that teh form, if it was online, did not work due to a disconnection of the site or your server.

Your idea sounds like a great idea! I wouldn't want anyone but who i want to see my info to see it. I like blogs and the whole concept is a good one but we have to think about the people that might not be Honorable getting things about us they don't have the right to have.

Doc, be very careful with this. I'm a writer and an ex police officer. These people will have you surgically removing their boots from your own...Send an official certified letter to the actual original publisher of the material along with a permission form to use their content. And, if they don't get back to you, extract the info from another source. Protect yourself my friend. Their lawyers will eat your lunch and not even leave you a Twinkie! Also, a disclaimer on your site is still a good idea. Tina

You can't unfortunately but get in touch with whoever moderates the board and inform them. It happened with me on here and I reported it to Yahoo in California and the person hasn't been on here for two days. Think they will only ban someone if the stuff they put on the board is really sick like his was though.

you could try reporting it for abuse, but you might also get your account suspended

Think this through hun... the point of restricting web sites at work is to make sure you focus on your work... not message your friends.\n\nWe all know that your activity leaves 'footprints'... and that some companies regularly carry out checks to see who is doing what they ought not...\n\nSo unless you really want to be dismissed for gross misconduct or something like that, I would focus on your work more, and your messages less.\n\nJust friendly advice...    :-)

I doubt they'll get banned/deleted , what's your question?

you could delete them or just block them so they dont know that you are online.

block them or you could ask them who they are and if you really don't know them block them and then delete

Unfortunately freedom of speech means we have to put up with jerks. \n\nHowever if there are abusive posts just keep reporting them till the writer of them gets barred. If it wasn't long ago that you reported it then maybe no one at yahoo has seen your complaint yet. \nAll you can do is avoid disgusting people, I suppose it's not our place to judge or condemn but that doesn't mean we have to listen to racism etc.

Report abuse, or what i would do is send them a threatening e-mail.\nOK I WOULDNT DO THAT.

One thing you can do is to use the "Report Abuse" link if they say something that you consider to be abusive or offensive.  But the way I usually use when I see questions on here that seem abusive or offensive is to simply bypass them.  If they are going to do that, then they're not worthy of my time and typing.  Maybe if enough people ignore their posts, they will give up and move on.

Just report every question that he posts that's innapropriate,and have other's report abuse,just don't answer his questions,and he will either 1.) get mad,and stop asking,or leave. OR 2.) suspended and never come back.\n\nI'm glad to help, yahoo answers needs to beep up security though.\n\nGood luck,deleting him.\n\n~Moneydudeguy~

Yes, my account was temporarily suspended because of some people who could not refute my answers with truth, so they attempted to silence me by claiming abuse. I contacted Yahoo Corporate Offices, my account was re-instated and now they are more careful about frivilous complaints of abuse. A forum such as this has a responsibility to encourage free speech.
