    Some people are fanatical about it.Mostly I am asked "Whats the point of Playing?" It is not like there is money or prizes involved.Some players consistently hit the Report Abuse button out of meanness.

    I say"Don't Worry Be Happy!"

    Yahoo let's users to report "abuse" of the answers forums. The abuse is in the mind of the reader. A post can be flagged by anyone for just about any reason and called abuse of the TOS.

    If any post is flagged a certain number of times, it is automatically removed and the poster is sent a TOS violation notice. There is seldom any human intervention in this process.

    After a certain number of TOS violation reports and warning emails, the yahoo system will remove access from the user. Again, it is an automated process with little or no human intervention.

    Really? A new account? I mentioned the university i go to and i got an email... didn't see that one coming... I think we should flag every email in this question. see if anyone even reads them before they take it off....

    such as being reported due to violation notice, some people here on y/a take it extremely serious - then others are here to goof and piss off those serious ones.

    no, only the one's like you on the"list". once you are on it, getting off is nearly impossible. you might as well change your account now and start over.
