I support the troops not the Bush Administration, nor the Neocon chickenhawks pretending to be Veterans on this site.

The Yahoo! Answers Team cares very much about these things. They have worked very hard on making this site the very best that it can be.\n\nUnfortunately, there is always someone to spoil the party. Over-all this IS a fantastic site. With that said, yes, we all know that it does have its problems, and you have certainly identified one of the biggest ones.\n\nThe Yahoo! Answers Team is currently working on solving this problem. As some else in this thread already mentioned, abusers often open a new account as soon as they are suspended and continue the violating behavior.\n\nThe best that we can do at the moment is use the "Report Abuse" button whenever you see this violation, or any other of the Community Guidelines. This is a way that e can all assist the Y!AT in combating this problem.\n\nThere have also been discussions going on in the Forum (link at the top of every page), about the use of "Volunteer User Moderators".  They are currently trying to work out a way to insure that it will work out properly.\n\nPlease, rest assured, that the Y!AT DOES care very much!

I have reported every question he has had on here. He is making a lot of people upset. Is this guy just nuts? Or is he trying to get attention? There is something seriously wrong there!!!\n\nHow do they ban him if he comes back with different names? I don't understand that part of Yahoo.

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

Hello evilushun... :)\n\nIt had to do with someone hitting the abuse button..some here just do not like others answers, so they freely hit the button.. :(\n\nI had made a statement concerning a completely different question on here, someone reported me for abuse..even though there were 3 others, with the same exact answer.. :(\n\nWhen I got the violation I had been reported saying it was not a question, nor an answer..\n\nI am so sorry that your answer was deleted.. :(\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ.. :)

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

anything in yahoo, if anyone has problem with the question, need not have to open the link. so yahoo considering the question abuse is questionable. the real abuser is the person wanting to click on something just for the sake to report something that isnt their preference.

I wish people would stop swearing in these questions. By doing that, you're only proving how dumb you are. You CAN get your point across without using such strong language. \nAs for the ones that have been posting about sex and all. I do wish Yahoo would crack down on them. Some of us have kids. Kids can very easily come on here and see such disgusting crap like that. Please Yahoo, get a look at this question and start banning these people!

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.

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.

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

Yahoo bans for the most stupid of reasons.  I agree with you on the trailer trash girl with the incest issue, yuk.  If anything, that should have been banned.  I have been banned for less than that.  Maybe Yahoo only checks out questions and/or answers that someone reports as abuse is what I am thinking.  If that is true I would think that there are a million stupid questions that would or should be banned.  I'm with you on this.

It basically showcases the attitude of the people who are employed by Yahoo. They are far to lazy to actually read something for themselves to see if it is, in fact, a violation. Many of these outrageous, bigoted, slanderous questions or quasi-questions that are posted come from avitars that are still on level 1. They don't care if they are suspended because they'll just create another and go back to spewing more of their filth.\n\nMeanwhile, the empty suits at Yahoo allow them to get away with their abuse of the rest of us. I have always had a wry sense of humor but I have to watch every single thing I present or get slammed by these phony abuse reports. I really wish that another web server would come up with a similar forum because I'd move in a heartbeat.

I don't.  But there are some hardcore trolls who report questions and answers as "abuse" simply because they don't agree with the opinion, and simply because "they can".  Yahoo's reporting system leaves a lot to be desired.  They are suffering serious growing pains!\n\nWhat most do not realize is that Yahoo does not investigate the issues that are reported.  It's all on an auto-responder system.  An "abuse" is reported, an auto email is sent to the reporter and the abuser, they say they will investigate (they don't) they invite the abuser to "appeal" but never respond to an email of appeal, then the "offending" question or answer is automatically deleted.  By a robot!  No human is reading and exercising discretion over this process.  For the answer that quoted it was to be "fair" ... no, it's not fair when no one is even reading the reports.

I feel that the abuse reporting has lagged, but so has the number of people who truly care about answers. If we are not here to fight then the poop slingers have freedom to put there poop everywhere.\n\n I myself am not afraid of using the abuse button (If I was what the heck would it be there for?)  I feel that if more of the loyal Y!Aer get back into action and fight a good fight against it we can win. How is Y!A supposed to build there volume and succeed if a new person opens the page and all they see is "Do you think my aviator is sexy?" or "Who wants to chat with me?" or better yet the worst "I am Horny." I for one am sick of this.\n\n I am helping in Richard's plan to fight against it, it is about time someone stood up rallied the troops and sent us to battle. The more people that RAMO the more clean Y!A can be. And it can become more worthwhile again.\n\nSuzy
