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.

What do you think is a suitable punishment for those here who ask the same question over and over for days?

I think we all know who I am talking about - there are a few people who are doing this every day. What should be their punishment? At the very least there should be one because the same question over and over shows NO imagination. Should they be asked to leave Y/A because of this? Or just ignored?

Thanks everyone

Update:

Great answers so far - thanks!

So far "ignore them" is winning, and I will abide by the majority's decision. Glad to know that I am not the only one they are getting to.

    Being ignored is the greatest pain you can inflict on a troll.

    Some people ask the same question over and over because they are looking for a good answers. Others, such as trolls, should be asked to leave Yahoo! Answers, however. :)

    i think if people stop answering their questions over and over again then they might get a life and move on. but ultimately it IS a violation of Y!A guidelines to repost and repost etc..... i think that if someone continues to do this (especially if the question is completely made up like--troll style--) then they should be banned from using the cite. they are wasting peoples time that are truly here to help people.

    There will be no punishment because Yahoo will never do anything about it. Just like they don't care about the anarchists who gang up on people on the law enforcement section. As long as they get hits on their site they could care less.

  • Personally, I'd like to see a few drawn and quartered, but they tell me that's not legal, so we'll have to go with ignoring them.

    I seriously believe that these people are mentally unbalanced. The person who posts the 'Nerd' questions springs to mind.

    I've been blocked by the murders girlfriend because I called her out as a troll.
