Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

If they are planning on stopping the spamming in current events as indicated in Michael's response?

Why does the response by the 'Yahoo employee' not feature the 'Y!' logo as all official answers do?

    OK enough is enough. I was going to post this as a question, but it will get spammed so I'll post it as an answer (and repeat it on other questions related to spamming so that enough people see it).

    What happens when your question gets spammed? Does it disappear? NO! It stays in your Internet cache. On YOUR computer, away from the spammer (who thinks the question is gone because I know more about this sh*t than him). This is the place that stores all the websites and pages you visit (up to a certain amount of time). This includes all the questions you ask on YA. This means you can dig out your spammed question from your web cache and re-post it, as many times as necessary until the spammer gets bored of having to spam it again. Here goes:

    1. Download Cache View from http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~timj/cv/download.ht... and install it.

    2. Start up Cache View and give it the location of your Internet cache. For this, go to the View menu and click Options. You'll see a box pop up with various settings. At the bottom left of this box, there's a Displayed Cache Directories section.

    a. For Internet Explorer users - click the Show Internet Explorer only button and press OK. Then go the File menu and click "Re-load cache". After a few seconds to a minute, you'll get a load of listings with web addresses and dates etc.

    b. For Firefox users - click the "Show browser cache from this folder" button and click Browse. Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\Yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Randomcharacters_default\Cache then click OK. Then go the File menu and click "Re-load cache". After a few seconds to a minute, you'll get a load of listings with web addresses and dates etc.

    3. This is probably easier if you sort them by date, so click where it says "Last modified date" in the columns along the top and it'll rearrange them. Find the date and time you posted the question and look for the Yahoo Answers links (you might need to open a few up to find the right page). Also only bother opening the ones that have "text/html" in the File Type column. The rest are just images and programming code, so you don't need them. Eventually, you'll come across the page that has your question stored it in it.

    4. Copy and paste all the text from your question into a new Yahoo Answers question and post it. You might want to also paste it in Notepad so that you can easily get to it to re-post it if it's spammed again.

    That's the only way I can think of at the moment to keep your questions, but f**k the spammers and don't let them win. :-D

    Edit - It is Steph, this was mainly aimed at people who didn't paste it in first and thought they lost it. I should have added that it's a lot easier and better if you paste a question in there first, so you can re-post it but I forgot about that because I was too busy thinking of ways to hang this piece of sh*t from the ceiling by his testicles for all the sh*t he's caused. :-)

    That no effort is wasted, nothing learned done or made is useless, people are complex and are never what they seem, everyone has motives whether they know it or not, for something to exist it has to be triggered- this goes for actions emotions and everything else in life,i should always do everything to the best I my ability, everything doesn't have to include emotions, sleep is precious, and the goal to life is happiness but, however lazy someone is they can not be idle an however hardworking they are, they still have to stop and have precious moments of absorption of the beauty around them.
