Why doesn't yahoo do something?

On the message boards in Yahoo Sport, namely the tragic story of Fabrice Muamba having a cardiac arrest - there is a nasty individual who is much worse than the guy they arrested on Twitter for racism and offensive posts.

This is just one example of what he has posted and he has been reported many, many times, but nothing seems to have happened. There is no way to report this guy apart from through the usual form. He is disgusting and needs some action made against him to show that Yahoo actually give a damn about this sort of thing. (Let alone all the distasteful spammers).

Comment 2218 is what you need to look at among many others.

And again at 2156 etc. etc. etc...

Update:

Here's hoping Fabrice makes a full recovery as well as any other people in his situation who are not in the limelight. From a Spurs fan.

Update 2:

Looks like Yahoo have finally taken the offencive posts down now. But i would have liked to have heard of them helping the police catch up with this nasty individual like they did on twitter...

Freedom of speech is good, but there are always limits.

    Posts like that should be removed as quickly as possible. It's irresponsible people like that who disrupt this site. Regular users can report them when they're seen. Best wishes to Fabrice from me too.
