How do you report someone's profile picture?

For the record, the UK and US addresses all go to the same team (the US one) so it doesn't actually matter. Watch what happens when you post a question to the UK team - the US Email address will be the ones answering it.

There used to be an easy way to report avatars (and I know exactly which one you're referring to, let's call her AG for anonymity's sake and so I can't be reported for calling out another user) but since the link to the Y! profile was removed from from the Y!A profile.

The function itself is still there in the background, it just takes a couple of seconds more to get to it but I can explain and as it's weekend and YAT aren't around at the weekend as a rule then it's probably a good idea that more people report it this way as well:

I can't use the URL of the troll account involved as that's calling out but look at her account and I've changed the last character immediately preceding the "&" to an "x" just so I can explain below

1) Go to the Y!A account that you are reporting and look at the URL so /activity?show=65JNC6UKYANNMI2KMTZB6EWGCx&t=g (not the "x" instead of the real character

2) Copy the part between the "=" sign and the "&" sign so 65JNC6UKYANNMI2KMTZB6EWGCx

3) Open the following link https://profile.yahoo.com and it will show you you OWN profile. Change the last part of the URL https://profile.yahoo.com/ (your profile ID )/ and remove your profile ID and put the troll's one there so https://profile.yahoo.com/65JNC6UKYANNMI2KMTZB6EWGCx/

4) Click "report abuse" and you can report the avatar to Customer Care. They won't suspend the Y!A account but will remove the avatar at least and this can be quicker when the US Y!A team are not around.

Do send an email to YAT though as well as the Y!A account of AG needs to be suspended as well...Show more

Barkley's right regarding the addresses. Since the U.S. one has gotten me nowhere. It might be best to send things to the 'uk one.' This member just keeps opening a new account every 5 minutes - no joke.
They have 3 active porn pic avatars right now and for some reason they're Not dropping.
I'm really hoping if enough of us report them to the abuse team, that said member will stop.
Since their activity is private, click on their avatar when you find one of their answers and go copy/paste their profile link/s.
In the subject put ' Porn Avatar & Multiple Account Holder.'...Show more

US: y_answrs_team@yahoo.com
UK: y_answrs_team_uk@yahoo.co.uk
NOTE: This is the only official Yahoo address that I have seen ending in yahoo.com or Yahoo.co.uk. The spelling of answrs is correct....Show more
