What can you do to get Yahoo! Answers to stop another user from sending you nasty emails and harrassing you?
I don't understand why people on this site can't just relax and enjoy themselves. We don't know each other, we are not earning money. But yet, this is now the second time that I have had someone emailing me and being nasty! Has this happened to you and how did you get them to stop??
I am keeping their nasty emails to forward to Yahoo! Answers if they don't STOP!!!

If you just ignore them, after a while they will get bored and stop. Saving the emails is a good idea in case they are persistent and reporting them for harassment if they continue.
I had that once when I gave an answer the 'girl' did not want to hear. She started emailing me with all kind of nasty words, claiming nobody asked for my advice. (got a laugh out of that since posting any question is asking for advice) Then she told me I should just stick to popping out more kids (I only have 2 spaced far apart). I resisted the urge to email back but I did report her for harassment....It stopped right after.
People can be funny when they have nothing better to do. Harassing others make them feel better about them selves when they feel worthless. Take it in stride and just smile and shake your head.
Good Luck.

Take the allow email from users out of your settings in the Yahoo Answers. This will not allow them to communicate with you via email.

dont allow people to send you email block it in your account part of your page. Also, hit report abuse button and tell yahoo they are harassing you and being nasty and request that they reply so you can forward the letters. Also hit the spam button!
