Are you sick of these game day spammers?

I am getting sick of these spammers bombarding the site with questions of where to watch the live rugby, and then spamming there websites as answers. It happens all the time and is ruining the site. If you to are sick of these people then join me in reporting them and hopefully together we can rid this place of the filth. Go the All Blacks!!

    100% on board, mate. It's outrageous and a clear violation of Yahoo terms of service.

    Alas, my experience supports Iago's reply. I have reported these spammers dozens and dozens of times. Absolutely nothing happens. I've tried to launch a couple of revolutions via this mail-list. I've e-mailed directly to Yahoo 7. Sinks without a ripple.

    The fault, of course, is not in the stars, but in ourselves. Until enough users also add to the reports, nothing much will happen. But thanks for trying.

    Yes! Report them! All it takes is for two members in good standing to report them, and they're gone. You have to wear them down. They clog up the place with so much spam that the real questions get pushed off the screen.

    Report!

    I also have emailed yahoo answers with a complaint about these users, They told me that they realise the problem and will do what they can do to ban them. But that was 3 months ago and they are still posting.
