Why doesn't Yahoo automatically get rid of these call girl service ads?

I mean specifically the flood of adverts for escort services out of various Indian towns. It must be possible for Yahoo to filter these out and block the placer without relying on users to report every one of the adverts!

So why doesn't Yahoo make their site spam advert free-er?

Update:

It may not be easy but as a responsible organisation Yahoo should make some effort not to become advertising central for prostitution in India.

They could make it bot-proof by having those funny captcha text boxes on submission... but they choose not to.

They could use bayesian logic from reported 'bad' answers to filter probable bad 'questions'.

But they don't.

    Not that easy or they would have done it. The bot's constantly change the address it is sent from. If enough of us report them then eventually it becomes pointless.

    properly Yahoo is community moderated so it is as much as me and you to checklist them; Yahoo team isn't sitting around waiting for somebody to submit something incorrect. do not ***** approximately it, do your area and checklist it. various contributors of the community with the flexibility to instadrop such posts lost their ability to accomplish that simply by a glitch approximately 3 weeks in the past yet i've got faith that for the main area has been fastened. So returned, it is as much as you and me to checklist such posts, not ***** approximately that, complaining does no stable, reporting does. additionally, re-posting the telephone style right here.. properly, why on God's green earth might you are attempting this while you're so worried approximately it? is mindless.
