    till now i have reported only about three to four times and all the time it's the same person who keeps coming back.

    first i received an answer to my question by him then when i checked he has copy pasted the same answer to around 290-300 answers that too with a link.even when the answer ahs no relevance to the question at all.

    i reported coz that was spam and advertisement . i dont report for casual answers by users who might have erred but this guy knew what he was doing was wrong but didnt stop.

    and to my emotions : feel like kickin hi a** so far that he cant come back on Y!A again.

    I've reported some for obvious sexual content, and a couple for being in the wrong category. My emotions? Offended.

    I've reported for extreme sexual content, like there was someone talking about necrofilia e pedofilia, and really offensive racism.

    It just isn't necessary.
