Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

To those of you who regularly answer, don't you get annoyed?

by the SPAMMER guy who comes on here over and over and over again under different names? You know, the 'acne' guy? Lets report him every time as a SPAMMER and try to get rid of him. There's a couple others that pop up on a regular basis also, .. they are of a similar nature, one of them has a hyper link that is questionable, and possibly contains a virus.

So, what do you guys and gals think? Is there any other way to get rid of them?

Update:

The truly weird are somewhat entertaining at times, but the annoying ones... whew!

So, why can't Yahoo7Answers catch the simple ones that ignore the tool bar, by diverting them to 'up to date answers to commonly asked questions about tattoos and piercings' ... you know, 'if your asking this type of question, check here 1st', type of idea?

How do we accomplish that?

Thanks for answering, and the venting/sharing is fun and relieving to a degree!

    I completely agree. I always report spammers but they need 2 reportings to act on it and no one else seems to be bothered to report anything.

    Is there any other way to get rid of them you ask?

    I doubt it. They will just log on as someone else.

    I just report them, so it doesn't really bother me. I'm far more annoyed by the people that ask how much a certain piercing or tattoo is going to hurt when they could very easily use the search bar and get 10 million of the same question all with similar answers. In fact, anytime anyone asks a question that they could've easily searched for annoys me. That and girls that ask what are some "cute" things and places to get tattooed or pierced.

    Even if I am not answering questions, I always go through and report those spammers - whether or not they are bots, after a couple of reports they automagically disappear as fast as they came. I hit on several this morning. It takes only seconds to report them.

    Lets keep the tattoo section clean!

    I dont like them either!!

    Best thing to do is give them a thumbs down & report them to Yahoo. Thats what I do.

    But they keep returning with different poster names. Most of the poster names are usually just gibberish. Like VitkqB or Aieo bd, or something like these.

    Haha! I hate the

    - boots/long skirts/whatever woman

    - the guy who asks about blocking a girl's slap

    - The guy who asks what girls would do if they found him 2 inches tall or whatever (who i secretly think is the same guy who keeps asking about what clothing item girls would want him to be).

    And a few others. The people who ask the same question over and over bother me more than the people actually spamming.

    I know, I ALWAYS report it as spam!

    It is seriously annoying!

    But i think a lot of people dont report but just give a thumbs down which is the problem!

    What about the people who always come on here and ask if tattoo's hurt? I don't like the people who answer that you shouldn't get a tattoo because in 50 years it will look like crap.

    What amazes me his how f***ing stupid these questions are. Are people really this dumb? Questions like.. My dog has had diarrhea for 5 days and now there is nothing but blood coming out. When I pick him up he's all limp and his eyes are shut and his body is getting stiff.

    Pleas help me, what do I do?

    GOD! What are they thinking?

    you mean the guy who always uses names like gsgahgswa gkgukghgk nrwscmyh ehrxztdj. Yeah I know him. I would love to practice the old medieval torture methods on him. I always report him. Its probably computer generated though.

    What bothers me is young kids who

    want a tat but have parents that are

    white trash and don't care what they do !!!!! We are parents. I am 51. My girls

    18 24 25 have class respect and have

    no kids.. Teach your children.

    Raise them with class and respect.
