Instead of a link to report abuse, shouldn't there be a link to report idiots and moronic answers?

Yes.\n\nI wondered why with every person's answer there was as little "reminder" to report abuse. I know it is rampant and there is a lot of it that goes unreported. But I really don't think that abuse is going to be reported really often while asking and answering general questions. \n\nAs for the idiots and morons, I just read the questions, shake my head or chuckle, and move on to the next. Sometimes it takes me quite a while to find one worth spending more time with. Kinda like dating, gotta weed through the riff-raff to find what you're after.

Thats the narcissusist (nicest) joke I've heard in ages. \n=kizzy=\nI think Yahoo Q&A should start logging the people who report all 'Abuse' and 'Violation' claims - then they would be able to identify those who are set on destroying Yahoo Q&A. - MESSAGE TO ABUSE REPORTER:report this for abuse and get your identity logged as a 'Yahoo Negative Poster' on YOUR records. You deserve it.

I know that some people abuse this site. It is a good site for people to ask questions when they want to know something and/or to get opinions and advise from others. I have saw some pretty dumb questions on here and I have also saw some questions on here that you had no clue as to what they were even talking about.But then you get these people that come along and give smart *** answers. I could do the same thing but I don't. If I don't like what I read,being a dumb question or what ever, I go to the next question. I am not going to be rude like so many others have been. Those folks that talk bad to others needs to grow up their self!!! They are in fact worse than the ones that ask the bad questions.And they know who they are too.Just like you, you asked a good question and I have wondered that same thing many times my self, and look at some of the crazy answers YOU got!!!!I think some of them just write any thing so they can get the points, but me, I don't care about the points, all I want to do is help people if I can. When those that give the stupid answers I think they shouldn't get the points even though it is just 2 points for the answer. So yes they do need filters for this site. If they did have them, you sure wouldn't have gotten some of the answers that you got that is for sure. LOTS OF RUDE FOLKS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!

Previous posters are correct, but I would like to add the following:\n\nYahoo answers relies on reports of abuse to moderate this service.  MORE PEOPLE NEED TO RESPONSIBLY REPORT ABUSE TO KEEP THIS SERVICE CLEAN!!!\n\nSeriously, RESPONSIBLY report EVERY genuinely inappropriate answer or question they see!!!\n\nI do.  Religiously.

I've found good and not-so-good questions/answers on this site and others. There's jus a broader range of people represented, and therefore more stupidity.

Death by shunning or cyber-stoning?\n\nTo some it is more importmant to appear to have all the answers than to let others know when they have looked up the answer.  Just because we cannot see them, they believe that most of us are as stupid and will not know even when we catch them doing this.\n\nI am afraid that this is the price the rest of us must pay to allow for anyone to use this site.  Perhaps if this is reported as abuse everytime they do this and someone catches them, Yahoo could kick them out?

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!

jerk..i wish Yahoo had an option for reporting stupid people

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.

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.

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.

there are some idiots on here, i had one who e-mailed me to say that he would like to see me raped and murdered! report it, yahoo dont contact you with details of what they do, but i havent seen that nutter on here since i reported him...i had one also who would leave nasty personal comments on my answers and remove them the next day...cowardly people hide behind the anonimity of this site

Under each answerer's avatar is a link that says "Report Abuse."\n\nMake sure you do it from the comment that is abusive and not some random comment the person made.

Here you go..check out the link below. Go to the bottom of the page (next to the last post) and read the post which does nothing but rant about what an idiot I am, lies about everything in reference to me, and the entire content has nothing to do with the question. \n\nI’ll admit I’m an idiot and I am a nut in a nut’s case, but I would never personally attack or call anyone any type of name.\n\nAsk yourself what you could have possibly posted which violated Yahoo’s TOS worse than this does?  Our Freedom is only freedom when the benefits and restrictions (there are restrictions to freedom) are equally distributed amongst everyone.

I'd say the only answer would be for Yahoo! to actually start addressing the real abuse.I've reported numerous disgusting and defaming questions and answers.I only receive about ten percent confirmation of these reports yet Yahoo! has violated me for the silliest nonsense.People will continue this nonsense until there are true consequences brought to down on them.I got a violation for "not a question or answer" for augmenting a best answer in the comment box.You can't expect any more intelligence from this site until the people in control of it actually take control of it.\nHow long will it be until some of these celebrities and politicians retain very astute attorneys and sue the living crap out of Yahoo!?Their disclaimer is not nearly far reaching enough to avoid such suits.\nThey are in fact liable for the content on this site and even with my limited knowledge of litigation,I can see many loop holes in their disclaimer.\nToo many people are just posting silly political rhetoric as questions on YA.I just reported one retard who compared GW Bush to Hitler.The man may not be brilliant but that is by far way out of line.Yahoo! actually removed that question.This forum is far too large and heavily populated to see a larger percentage of decent content.

Good grief, I thought what I got reported for was silly, but this is even worse. You just never know what's gonna tick somebody off. Oh well, let's just still try to have fun despite the loser's who have nothing better to do than report even 'CLEAN' stuff.
