Should I be reporting these phony "carinsurance" questions?

it is spam. go ahead and report it, getting rid of those questions helps clean up the clutter.

It looks like a failed spam-feeder. The idea is that they ask a questions, and then use other account(s) to post answers with links to websites.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Yes, they are ALL spammer "feeder" questions. If left for too long, they will be answered by the spammer promoting a bogus notlong.com website -- which redirects to a malware & virus webserver in eastern Europe.

The YAT and Spam-Buster teams are very aware of it, and we are removing the posts as fast as we can find them. (fyi.. i removed over 200 this morning alone). Also the hosting domains have been notified.

Please spread the word: When you See Spam posts -- ANY type of spammer --please "report abuse". Not thumbs down. Thumbs down does nothing. report abuse get's the post removed, which denies the spammer his income. keep in mind - not all spammers are just looking to make a quick and easy buck. Many are criminal enterprises with ties to terrorism, human traffiking, and the drug under-world. We have a civic duty to stomp them out.

Yahoo! Answers has millions of users, and only thousands of spammers. We can keep yahoo clean and 99% spam free if everyone would report spammers as they see them.

Absolutely, the only people who can keep Yahoo free of spam and malware is the users' People ask why the site is so slow and I am sure the spammers are not helping.

i think ya,Markyyy....this entire component of reporting,blockading,eye gouging and enjoying for factors,is previous me....it is like managing third graders...I purely quite do no longer contain myself in all of this junk and that i could no longer care much less approximately what point I easily have attained...i'm advantageous there are countless very righteous persons and geniuses that are on point one,and conversely, different heathens and idiots on point 7 to infinity....i in my view, have been quite fortunate interior the previous reguarding Yahoo disciplinary action yet am somewhat miffed to show screen the unfair and merciless therapy that many have been unjustly subjected to... I won an exceedingly effective e mail from computing device,the different day and he or she made point out of the checklist monkeys that have been on her back,recently....i do no longer opt to verify this ensue to everyone,reguardless of the compatibility of our ideals and convictions and might preserve her as i might considered one of my Christian acquaintances..... leave her on my own!!.... After reviewing your question, post answer,I look to have swerved off aim somewhat...This suff purely form of angers me. in any case,hi Markyyy

Why are you even wasting time asking? You know it's a violation, and either a bot, or someone who ONLY posts spam questions and answers. Just report it. As for "watching out" for "shady behavior", now it looks like you're on a mission to report. Not something you openly advertise in a question. But you know what? If you use a little common sense, you will know, if you see "shady behavior", if it's a violation.

Yes , they are spam, report 5 when you see them as spam. Click their avatar and add the name and a link to the profile and post it on the Spam thread and they will be gone soon after, they will come back though, they are like cockroaches. http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...
