Don't think he wasn't reported.

Wow, great question but it sounds like Adult Content to me and I don't want any of those weasel Puritans flagging me again... Wish I could help, but Yahoo is going full bore with this censorship thing. And here I thought it was just the poor Chi-Coms that got censored by them...  Contact me and I'd be more than happy to discuss it away from prying Puritan eyes...

"pedophiles click here" will get you lots of unwanted attention.  Um, for the record I'm joking...please don't use that....too many sick old men go trolling on myspace for young kids.

they need to have some type of age restriction on this site, no idea how they would go about doing that though

I'm very much with you on this one, I totally agree with you, there are some really stupid, sick and perverted people who post the most irrelevant questions, if at all they are a question, I just wish Yahoo would do something about them, why cant they just go to a different site and say what they really want to say on a more appropriate site.\n\nThere are young children who use this site all the time, many ask for help with homework, its hardly fair for them to see such stupid rubbish

mostly kids under 18 here (the digital generation). you can just tell by their responses and questions on different things.

Yeah. At least if they (ads) are adult-themed, vulgar or inflamatory. Chat rooms shouldn't be censored, however I think chatroom controllers should create chatrooms separately for adults and children, this way there is less interaction between them and thus less of a chance for pedophiles to contact children.

To shield virgin eyes from not-so-virgin content.  There are kids as young as 12 (maybe younger) on here, and Yahoo! is making a responsible effort to keep that kind of content away from them.

I totally completely agree with you. a few minutes after i got on the site, i was amazed at the questions being asked. i was like, "this is unbelievable." lots of them were very inappropriate. lots of them were also needing-help questions. like homework, friends and family, but their should be a limit to all this. \ni like to answer appropriate questions, and ask them too. but i stay away from and ignore inappropriate ones. if my mom were to see all the stuff on this website, she would seriously flip and ban me from this site. \n\npersonally, i believe there should be separate yahoo answers: adult, teenage, 9-14-year-olds, and 7-8-year-olds. \nfor your little one, the 8 year old, i suggest you to block this site in case she has seen it, and tell her about the dangers of being on this site.\n\nanyway, i completely agree with you, and sometimes i know parents can be over-protective, but they are mostly right.\nletting children explore the internet and it's useful resources is one thing, and going on sites that you may accidentally give out information about yourself to strangers is another. completely.\n\ngood luck!\n(you are one of the most caring moms i have heard from. :) ---i'm glad you brought upn this topic so people can see your point of view and others about this site)

I agree with you.  Sometimes it seems to me this site is either full of mostly 6-8 yr olds or a bunch of retarded morons.\n\nAfter seeing a few dozen querstions like "What is sex?" I am about ready to twist my head off and heave it against the wall.

I used to use it about 7 years ago all the time, phased out of it about 5 years ago, then a couple of weeks ago I was bored so downloaded it again and searched for people and the only people i could find where people leading me to adult chat sites. Couldnot find one normal person online! so i suggest deleting it!

I agree.  The filters aren't going to help much, as you have probably seen there are ways around that.  I suggest something like they do with chat, go by the age on the account then shoot it to one area that is for underage only and moderated.  That is how they did chat when they had the adult only rooms.  It would work here as well.

Trying to see if all the 11 year old with penis questions have given up and gone back to their video games.  Switched to Myspace, figuring turn about was fair play.

1. 18-21 is not a teen anymore, but a young adult.\n2. All the "teens" online are really 40-something pedophiles and FBI agents preying on them.

no i don't think so...if it was, then it would be blocked from youngsters under 18 buti have seen kids answer and as questions on here.

I think they stop the chat for under 18 people,because Yahoo thinks people under 18 are so immature! Like we aren't!*Scoff*
