Why yahoo is unable to stop bots in the chatrooms?
It seems that more bots that real people are loging in the chats rooms, it is a terrible experience

It is unfortunate. Yahoo is working on controlling them through reporting.
This is how bots work. These people are paid well to do this. A person creates a program to be able to function in a chat room and runs down the list of chatters and sends them a message hoping to get them into their site. These programs are sophisticated enough to create multiple anonymous accounts that Yahoo finds difficult to monitor.
In the future, to prevent these from happening, Yahoo can create email verification or "characters in image" verification to slow these down, however the people who use bots will eventually create technology that surpasses that.
I do not work for Yahoo, but I am confident that Yahoo is tackling these issues daily and trying to find ways to make the Internet a better experience for its users.
I used to have AOL and Netzero. SBC Yahoo has been the best provider for me and they seem to take bots and spam more seriously than other providers.

forget seems to be Yahoo's way of shutting down chat without unquestionably telling consumer they are able to no longer use the provider. in the event that they are actually not actively relationship bots they are certainly no longer putting a lot attempt into blockading them. a pair years in the past there became a lawsuit against Yahoo over sexual offenses which began in a Yahoo chatroom. Ever in view that then the provider has been on a sharp downhill slide to assert the least.

it does suck, but honestly other services rooms have them too. it's a fact of life in chat rooms. just the continuing evolution of the net. look for chat clients in the future that only allow users that are connected via 360 or something like that. it's what i'd do. networks of people could self police the access to the chat client by accepting people into a group or several other methods. yahoo does care, but i'm sure it's not a top priority.
