How do I report a user for repeated posts of the same question?

The same person keeps posting the same question over and over. How do I report this so he can be blocked?

    If it violates the guidelines, report it. Otherwise, if it bothers you that much, copy the URLs and a link to the profile and send them to the Y!AT in an email.

    It is NOT a violation of the community guidelines to report abuse, even if it happens to all be from one person - I stumble upon profiles that are nothing but abuse and report every single abusive post in their profile time and time again. False malicious reporting is wrong - reporting true abuse is not. It is a violation to repeatedly post the same question, though it has been my experience that when this happens the question is generally a violation and I just hit the report abuse button when I see it.

    Does the question violate the CG or ToS in any way, or are you just targeting that person's account because you are afraid of that person?

    Email an abuse team and include hyperlinks to his his profile and and the hyperlinks to each question in each section. , then block his account YOURSELF so you cannot answer or see his questions. Send the email to

    y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

    Targeting & tracking some one else's YA activity and Yahoo account is a violation of the community guidelines. You are trolling.

    Go to the users page and copy his URL, and then when you see those repetitive questions write a note in the box and mention of him/here repeating them excessively and post the URL.
