Should people who flood yahoo answers with stupid questions be banned?

I wander around a bit each day, hoping to find a question which I may be able to answer, and then I find stupid stuff like this

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au_01...

By time I have time to leave a sarcastic answer, she has 3 more just as annoying questions posted. Do you think Yahoo Answers should have a "pointless question" option on each question?

    Frivolousness should be banned. There must be a voluntary committee of moderators. Community guidelines also cover this aspect of frivolousness. Being funny is not really all that funny.

    Ah, I don't have a problem with silly questions. Just ignore them.

    Having said that, however, it seems unfair to me that you can't be reprimanded for asking a pointless question, but you can be reprimanded for giving a pointless response. I've gotten a few nastygrams from Yahoo for replying to a question with something like "this homework question is not hard, kid, you can figure it out for yourself".

    If you don't like the question, here is an idea, stop reading it and don't answer it. Just a thought though.

    if you think some question is stupid or not to your liking you can always skip it

    to a person who asks a question it is very tough and genuine

    that is my opinion.we can always agree to disagree
