Today I received 4 very nasty messages from another user of Yahoo Answers. And I honestly don't know why. He..

says he hates black people, he will never let his dog get close to a black person, and all black people should go to Africa, and let America for white people, etc.... I don't know what it is about. I don't have any question posted right now that could hurt anybody, and have not answered any question that could hurt anyone. I report him already but he keeps sending me very nasty email. What can I do to stop him for good?

    First, stop trying to figure it out, it's probably nothing you did.

    You already reported him, good.

    Block the user so he can't send more messages and it makes it difficult to answer your questions. (It should make it impossible, but there are still tricks that the trolls have figured out.)

    You can't really block his email because they all come in a "you have received a message from another user", so if you mark that as spam you'll lose all of your user messages, and we don't want that.

    Try to ignore him. Some people are just plain mean. I sure wouldn't reply to him, let him think you aren't getting his messages. He'll tire and go away.

    Sorry you have had a negative experience on this site. Overall, it's a pretty cool place.

    God Bless.

    With the next email go to his profile page, make a note of all the details you can, and then email the team at yahoo and complain, adding the text of the offensive email to them.

    You can't use the normal report abuse system with email.

    Close your E mail under Edit my Info in Profile. Also close off you Q & A in case he's a stalker. These people are sick. I had a very nasty E-mail from a Vietnam Vet after I disagreed with him in Politics & had several other wacko E-mails from Trolls. I closed mine off 2 days later.

    You can report him for Community Guidline violations here on Yahoo Answers, but I have yet to ever get even an acknowledgement that Yahoo ever received any I have reported, let alone took any kind of action. The only thing you can do is change you Yahoo account name, but that is TOTALLY unfair too..............

    What an Ignorant Racist Uneducated Worthless SOB!!! Don't take it personal,he's probably sitting in his hillbilly shack with his wife/sister and has nothing better to do with himself than send hate mail to someone he doesn't know! Edit your info.

    the guy sounds so pathetic to me.

    prolly he has no life.

    just an ugly white nerd.

    put him on ignore. just choose his email and click as spam.

    or you can set your profile completely private
