When you know who's reporting you, what should you do?
I accidentally learned who's been reporting my questions and answers. It's someone I always give thumbs up, someone I have liked, and who has now started reporting me in another category as well as SC. I kind of want to call the reporter out and ask "Why?" What would you do?

Since there's a possibility that the reporter is not who I think it is, I've decided to do nothing. I was told by another SC, and then by someone in another category, that this person had told them about reporting me. But, for all I know both those people are one person with two accounts. Anyway, I just got reported again.

Hide your info. I'd ignore it I guess. I don't think it'll change anything to confront them. They just have problems. I don't know, if I knew who was reporting me I might feel differently, so follow your instinct.
I answered a question yesterday asking for examples of mealy mouthed talking. They reported it. lol
In order to protect yourself and work within yahoo's community guidelines, you should contact yahoo first. Anything you do which increases their chances to report you yet again, that they will do. Don't mess with them. Try and get yahoo to sort it out for you.
Statistically, just one year ago, there were some 40 regular seniors, all of whom have left the forum, presumably because they were driven away by continuous targeting and harassment.Last month another 24 left. Not many old-timers left here now, who had been here since at least 2006.
Evidently, the key issue and main problem seems to be within the definition 'chatting.' That tends to be hazy sometimes and it is the choice item that questions get reported over.
Blocking the account does not work as the user can always create a new one that can continue reporting. You should reprot that account to Y!A, appeal and reason with them, if indeed your questions and answers have not violated guidelines. It helps if more than one of you are reporting and complaining about the same user.
