How to get spammers off of Yahoo Answers?
Recently I've noticed a rash of spammers on Yahoo Answers. They provide the same exact spam answers to any question asked even if its not related to the question. I've gone to these scumbag's personal page and have reported their identical spam answers. Yahoo has taken many of the answers down. But they keep posting the same spam answers over and over again. Besides reporting the spam answers over and over again, how can we get Yahoo to permanently remove these vermin? Shouldn't they remove them after several reports? Shouldn't Yahoo have a special report where you can report a pattern of spam and only spam instead of just reporting individual answers? Can't we report the actual spammers instead of just their spam?

When you report them, note in the details what is happening. This will alert them to the wider problem. Eventually, they will kick them off. Also, make sure you are reporting them as illegal posts.

i think of this is damaging myself! I observed a question the different day and it grow to be a severe one requiring some decency in answering and of course the only answer on the time grow to be unsolicited mail! :(
