I'm so sick of this stupid spam. It's from blogspot people - whatever the heck that is.

Unfortunately IP addresses don't get blocked so they just make more accounts and spam this board. In my last question out of the 8 answers, two were spam. I always report it, but it's annoying because they come back with another account and spam people some more. It's disrespectful to many women because they post it on some very serious questions about distressing issues. I contacted YA - on the forum and through e-mail and wasn't given a reply.

Anyone else notice this and does it bother anyone else?

The same thing happens over at the Fashion and Accessories category. Some very annoying person with obviously no life posts a blogspot ad - but the catch is- everything on that side was plagiarized.

Spam sucks, but what I really hate is those people who just like to piss off the "askers" by giving rude, uneducated or completely useless answers!



I'm sure it might be distressing to some people, but a lot of us are intelligent enough to realize that it's just some lame person posting the same answer to every question. I'd rather deal with that than the immature "answerers" who give misguided or dangerously wrong answers!

Yes.



And I report it all, and it never gets taken down.



And I know I have to be one of the "trusted reporters" because I report VERY accurately.



I just spent the last 20 minutes going through all their answers and reporting all of them as spam, and so far 2 of them have been removed.

I wish they'd delete their accounts.



There was a spammer last night called "Abortion Rocks" who would post the most awful crap.

Like, a woman would say "I'm 7 weeks pregnant and so excited. What should I expect at my doctors appointment?"

"get an abortion. it's not too late."



or

"I think i'm having a miscarriage, should I call my doctor."

"well, if you're not, get an abortion."





I hate spammers. ugh,

I only get aggravated at those which at the instant are not specific to someones situations and only conventional..."what's your opinion on abortion" question. no remember if that's incredibly because of fact somebody is able of attempting to choose on what to do, i think of that's nice to be in this section, because of fact pregnant lady provides an perception to having a splash one that non-pregnant lady ought to not (or a minimum of in the event that they at the instant are not dad and mom yet besides). it incredibly is the difficulty making ones that annoy me because of fact it hits a uncooked nerve with maximum of.

It's very bothersome, but unfortunately yahoo isn't going to do anything about it.
