What is Yahoo doing to stop this persistent spamming by Indians advertising prostitutes?
I imagine it is an automated system. Reporting abuse does not help at all.

opening yahoo answers up to India was the worst mistake they ever made
between their spam for call girls/love marriages/compatibility tests
and young Indian males asking how handsome they are and sending creepy messages, not to mention the million questions of when will they get married according to their birthdate, i've all but had it
i used to enjoy pottering around on here
not so any more
i reported and reported
they seldom get deleted,

The system can only do so much.It detects links and phone numbers,deleting those posts that appear to be spam but Yahoo and other sites rely heavily on users to report violations.Bottom line,just keep reporting the spam and the system will look for similar posts in the future so it can quickly remove them.
