It's the way the law works.
With any public web forum, if the company/person that runs it actively monitors the content, they become legally responsible for everything on it...
If they only respond to reports or complaints (as with YA - the 'report' flag) - only the people posting stuff are legally responsible for their content.
Free forums simply could not exist if the operators had to employ people to check everything users put on them - that's why they are 'user moderated' like YA.

I suggest somebody at Yahoo is a registered foreign agent
as required by US law for this service or crap advert is illicit.

Those posts are spambots. Y!A is aware of it and working on it. Just report when you can.
