no i don't actually.  but i agree with the first responder.  thank goodness i haven't seen any "perv's" yet.  although i've suspected a few.  hopefully yahoo folks weed them out before they get out of control though.  i think the abuse button gets abused myself.  i got reported, and it wasn't over anything serious.  i asked how long does it take to go up another level or something like that.  well yada, yada, yada.  the point is, i just think it's useless anyway.  they don't really pay any attention to what was said.

I've just hit your abuse button because you're not supposed to ask things like that on here!!!\n\nBut thanks for the 2 points!

I have been saying all along that we need to use the Report Abuse function freely.  I do it whenever I see something objectionable.  Now, you may call me a fussy old lady, but really, I'm pretty tolerant.  If a person has a question about something controversial, they can bloody well say it in a polite (somewhat clinical, perhaps) fashion, and we will answer, and chances are good that no one will report abuse on it.  But tacky stuff with bad attitude should be pushed off the site with repeated reports of abuse.  And there is NO place here for bigotry or hate.  Ain't got time for it, Brothers and Sisters!

Well yes I suppose so. Nobody should be reported, period. Yahoo needs to review more and take reports less. They're not reading anything that gets reported, they just delete it instead, sending you a stock email and replying to any of your responses with another stock email. Believe me, I've replied the CRAP out of violation emails and get nothing further than the second stock response. This whole report abuse thing needs to be REMOVED from Y!A.

Yahoo has a program which detects when a question or abuser has been reported by several people. There is a certain number of reports that will activate the delete process. After a certain number of deletes, then the person is definitely removed from this site.\nYou are not a newbie, careful!

One of the childish individuals who come on here would have reported you for abuse, and since Yahoo don't even bother to verify if the report is valid they delete it and send you a warning and help themselves to some of your points. Yahoo really need to do some proper monitoring.

Similar thing happened to me because some people's sensibilities just wont stand for that kind of a question.  I'm as open minded as the next guy and would never report anything like that.  But when someone does, for whatever reason, I suppose Yahoo are obliged to do something about it.  If you haven't been banned or your account deleted then don't worry too much about it.

i think the abuse button should be taken away completely because it`s being abused! i think if people want to complain they should do it by email and explain why they are reporting abuse and that way it can be investigated properly. the violation notices are self automated which makes it too easy and once u get so many violations then ur automatically banned. i used to run my own web site wiv a chatroom inside it and i know how it works. yahoo need to be made aware of this before my head explodes! lol

Well, it is supposed that Y! investigates first the violation, then gives the notice but I don't think that this much is accurate, see a few days ago I reported somebody that was advertising one of those win-free-money sites and obiously I let knew the asker that I was the one giving the report by just answering "Reported scammer!" the next day I got a violation notice stating that I wasn't giving any question or answer to the asker when this wasn't even a question!!! I try to contact Y! abuse reports via mail to know if they have erased that advertisement and didn't get any satisfactory reply at all.\nThe point is that you are not the only one suffering with reports, if you wanna act like a good participant and report any violation it might come to bite your back too, so what I think it's best is that you be very careful with what you're saying around here, adress people very gently don't get yourself involved into too controversial issues or topics and just answer what is necessary ("where do I find this?" "here's a link that might help you"), and finally if you post a report don't let know the person asking or answering with a violation to know by any means that you are responsible for that report.\nGood Luck dude!!!
