WHY is Yahoo Answers in the "marriage and divorce" category allowing "Anonymous" to both post and answer?
His/her own questions? This person has appeared out of nowhere. Yahoo board monitors are "looking the other way" UNLESS they are the one's perpetrating this fraudulent person asking questions, day in and day out that are NOT legitimate and very often, not applicable to the category. One day he is a he, the next day (moment really) she is a she. What gives?
Reporting the abuse continually...So much for "control" (lol)
Yahoo does nothing.
If they are not part of the "solution"??? Then it's clear,
They are the problem.
This is a specious way to generate interest in this category if they are wanning, is it not?
I guess they believe we're all children and they can "pull one" over on us...REALLY children?

I can't believe you missed it, it was announced and explained on the site for everyone to learn, and yet you missed it?
Ask and Answer Anonymously
We know that there are some questions that we would rather ask and some answers we’d rather give privately. This is why we have launched the option to make your question or answer anonymous.
With this change, you can now choose to “hide” your profile from appearing next to the content after posting your question or answer. To make your question or answer anonymous, simply click “edit” and select the “make anonymous” option.
When you choose to make your question or answer anonymous, it will not appear in your history or in your network’s stream.
Note that making your question or answer anonymous will not have any effect on the content of the question or answer.
You will still get points for answering anonymously, and anonymous questions still cost points. Anonymous questions and answers are, of course, still subject to our Community Guidelines and any reported misuse of the feature will be acted upon.

Did they say things that are against the guideline?... If not then you can do nothing. Yahoo made it so that we can post anon, yahoo made it so that we can answer our own questions.

It is not one person. Anyone can now choose to make their question or their answer anonymous. Click on the pencil icon to the right, and you will see that option.
If you start reporting every appearance of this you are going to get yourself banned from the site, because it is not a breach of the guidelines, just a new feature. The idea is to enable people to ask things they might otherwise find embarrassing.

You must have been under a rock for a few months now. Yahoo allows askers and answerers to post "anonymous" now. Comments, though, are not . anonymous.

That is a new feature. Anyone can post an anonymous question or answer. It is under the pencil icon. You can still report it.
