It's an automated computer program. Someone has hacked into Yahoo Answers and found a way around the point system. There are lots of them crawling the forum. When Yahoo removes one user account, the program just creates another one. Do not click on the links created by the 'bot' as it is driving traffic to a questionable site. The site looks innocent on the surface, but it is probably malware for gathering your address or worse.:

If you report it Charles it does get monitored and you will receive a email back from Yahoo. They will look into it. I have sent some abusive reports about things I don't see right and the company have rectified the problem. If you don't voice it they don't know.

It looks like spam. I think the more that people report it as abuse, the more of a chance we wont see it again.
