How do I select a country again, not the world, in Yahoo Answers?
I used to be able to select USA questions, but since last week I have been seeing questions from English speakers all over the world.
I want to get back to seeing only the country I live in, the USA, since I cannot validly respond to many questions about other countries I am seeing now. So annoying.
2 AnswersYahoo Answers7 years agoHow can we eliminate spam in Yahoo! Answers when nobody is moderating the topic?
Yahoo Answers often has numerous identical ads. One person alone cannot usually get them deleted. What else can we do to get them removed?
I just saw over 8 identical ads posted as Yahoo! Questions.
There were many identical ads posted as "Answers" to the same questions.
They are currently in Other - Education but they have appeared elsewhere. Where else can we report this to get the removed?
These instances are ads for prostitutes.

I see reported spam of prostitution ads are still there and see I cannot get it deleted just by being the only one reporting.
These instances are in Other - Education at this point. It seems to take two people to report and get them eliminated. Nothing's been done in a half hour. There are over 8 of the same ad by 4 accounts.
2 AnswersAbuse and Spam7 years agoWhy are people suddenly answering their own questions in Yahoo! Answers?
Just this week I noticed a number of people posting "answers" to their own questions. They were actually comments.
Until then I saw such things usually posted as comments under the question.
Why is it now looking like they answered themselves?
Is this is a new feature? A glitch not previously possible with the previous interface?

I've picked some new email schemes and don't see them very well. Especially difficult are grayed out characters. It's difficult to view against a light background.

I've examined the headers and reported those to ISPs I can determine. The others are locations / ISPs I can't find.
* Due to spam reports targeting my Yahoo email address, some of my email goes to people's Spam folders.
* I know the usual channels and reported the ones I could find.
* The others I can't determine.
1 AnswerAbuse and Spam8 years agoHow do I find group leaders?
I don't see the group leaders any more. Where is this information in the new format?
There are monthly requirements in 1 group, to stay a member. I need time off for 1 month without getting booted. Where's their email address? I only see the display name, not email address. Thanks!
