Why don't people report the SPAM answers?

Question

There are so many SPAM answers, particularly in the diet/fitness section, pertaining to weight. PLEASE PEOPLE! REPORT these SPAM website answers! I just saw 2 people suggesting sites for losing weight to someone recovering from anorexia!! ... Just hit the "Report" button, and write SPAM in the reason....

Answer 1

Believe me... I report them every day. There are about 5 different spam answers, but they change their names so frequently that its hard for admin to keep up.



It picks me enough to see it constantly, but it bugs me even more so when its a sensitive question being asked. As well, some people (and desperate kids) are gullible and may fall for their scam.



Wgm's answer is spam. Now that is ironic! I just reported the moron.

Answer 2

I do report them, but you will see many of them have goofy names, like "Fyhdhfyfg" or something. Everytime they get reported and removed, they quickly create a new profile and continue on.



The 10th answerer, nayan, is one of those famous spammers (obviously since his answer was "whats ur prob"). You will often see his answer as -diet rules- with a website afterward. He should go to hell. And he didn't even make sense with his little rant. He must be 10 or 11 years old.

Answer 3

Amen. I report every one of them. It literally takes 5-6 seconds and these people get banned. How ironic that your first response is spam.

Answer 4

I don't know but I can't stand that ****. People asking questions about finding help for their eating disorder and then some moron comes along and posts some lame website for losing weight. How senseless. And then they even have this orange thing under their name "top contributor"?

Top contributor my @ss. God.



No offence to real top contributors who actually take their time to answer something of course xD

Answer 5

You can report them but they just keep opening up new accounts. I think the best thing yahoo could do would be to add a validation code to prevent spammers. Bit of a pain, but it would solve the problem.

Answer 6

I am, don't worry. haha

It just takes a while for the answers to be deleted >.<



I know, I seen the question with anorexia (In fact I answered it) xD, I was like "... Uh huh...."



There's some stupid people out there.

Answer 7

LOL I like how the first response is spam. REPORT!

Answer 8

I just did- asked a question about drug abuse- I get a weight loss link. Really upsetting.

Answer 9

I have also noticed this and its very annoying, i wish people would report it too
