Doesn't it violate the community guidelines if..?
Someone asks for pornography/other adult content? Someone asked a question earlier,
and i was wondering if i should report him.
Come on.. if anyone knows anything at all please answers
*answer* :/
alright ill change the link to yahoo
The reason I think i should report him is not because of it being offensive,
(which it isn't very) but because questions like these are a pointless waste of space, and don't contribute to anything but making the long list of unneeded questions even longer.

Well yes its an infringement of guideline policy to publish anything obscene, and is probably also infringing yahoos guideline policy on spam. But there's little point in reporting because yahoo infringes its OWN guidelines anyway on a regular basis, and what good would it do you? -other than to elevate any depleted report status. I didnt click the link above because it looks slightly suspect and viral. My love to sonic

" but making the long list of unneeded questions even longer".
Again, yahoo recruit subcontractors to type up a lot of posts, complete with authentic looking spelling errors and provocative content. Half the questions aren’t real, from real people anyway. What I'm saying is you can report a lot of posts (especially with advertising links) but they wont be removed because people behind them work on behalf of yahoo. In some cases even the thumbs rating system on here is automated and rigged. Even the answers to questions are stock answers. True story. Here is a post which infringes the correct "question answer fomat" as proof:

report it as much as you like, it wont be removed.
