Yahoo Baseball Fans? Could you please take the time to answer this?

How irritated do you get when you click on a question to answer it, and see that one of those ignorant spammers has answered with something like this....

nike shoes(air jordan, air max, shox tn, rift, puma, dunk sb, adidas) $32

nike jordan shoes 1-24 $32

handbags(lv, coach, fendi, D&G, chanel, gucci) $35

boots(ugg boots, ed hardy boots) $40

COOGI(jeans, tshirts, hoody, jacket)

christian audigier(jeans, tshirts, hoody) $13

artful dodger(jeans, tshirts, hoody) $13

Have you ever checked out their websites (I never have, and never will)? Would you even consider purchasing products from these clowns? I'm certain that these jerks will find this question and post their spam, and I know they will never go away. Please post your feelings about this to let them know how you feel. If you don't have time to answer, give a star to the question. If they do see this, hopefully they will read the answers or see the stars and figure out that they're just wasting their time (and ours). If all goes well, they'll take the "Where can I watch MLB games for free on my laptop" weenies with them and just go away. Forever.

Thanks for letting me gripe. This is a great section with tons of knowledgeable baseball fans. I enjoy reading your opinions and answers, but these folks take a lot of the fun away.

Update:

Thanks for the input so far. I used to give the "thumbs down", but now I always take the time to click "Report Abuse". If one other person does report it before or after I do, then the answer is gone and a small message is sent.

Update 2:

Amazing! This has been up for 20 minutes and nobody has tried to sell me hoodies or Nikes!

Thanks to all of you who gave your input. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

And a special thanks to you, Rangers. I'm a big fan of your work. You are one of the best in this section (not just one of the best ladies, one of the best period).

    Thank you for the kind words about the section! I appreciate it and I know everyone else does. :)

    As for your answer, I just thumbs them down or report it. It's really irritating because I think I ask good questions and it upsets me when someone is advertising for that or for Jordans or everyones favorite site..ROOTZOO!

    Unfortunately the MLB games for free question is going to stick around, just like everyone who answer questions than add the "ask this on rootzoo and i bet you'll get even more answers".

    I also agree..these people are just wasting their times and ours. I don't open the questions anymore..I used to but now I just shake my head and skip it. It's the same person or group of people..probably some bored 13 year olds spamming us until their boring Halo tournament starts

    Again, thanks for the compliments and your gripe doesn't go unnoticed! Many of us feel the same. :)

    Edit: Thank you!!!!

    It takes like 50 years to scroll down and give it a thumbs down, then i just report it, but its so annoying. You would get 2 things if you actually clicked on it: (1) A scam and (2) Viruses

    I mostly see them in the NASCAR section which is where I spend most of my time here, but I am always sure to report those answers as spammers. Hopefully Y/A will do something about it with enough reporting.

    These people need to lose their accounts. I dont understand why they have to post this spam. Its annoying and just a hassle just to look at. Anytime anyone sees this they must put thumbs down and try to report them. Get rid of these spammers.

    They honestly bug the crap out of me. No one is going to buy these things and they never have anything to do with the question. All these people want who do that is the points, they're not at all looking to help or give an opinion to a person. This bugs me and the fact that YA hasn't really noticed it is annoying as well.

    It's very irritating. I used to give those answers thumbs down but now I just ignore them.

    Every time I come across a posting from one of these losers, I report it. I've also noticed the gutless b@stards do not allow e-mail contact, which is probably a good thing for me.

    I usually report them as violating the community guidelines as spam

    I just consider the source and go on, there are those on here who could give a hoot about baseball, and to those people, well just ignore them maybe someday they will go to the football section :-) if we are lucky....

    That happens a lot on the PlayStation category as well. I ALWAYS report spammers like that.
