Is continuing to report violations while Community Moderation is down going to negatively affect my trust rating?

None of us are certain of Our TR to begin with so what I've been doing is finding Spam Bots in the Yahoo Products section & reporting them. I've watched 2 of them actually 'lose points' today with each report that I send. That has Not happened for a couple weeks Now so I'm trying to stay 'positive.'

Regarding the user that You are reporting - Don't stress Yourself out. When CM is fixed, it's likely said multiple accounts Will be suspended & replaced with a few hundred more.

So keep a draft of the really severe/ToS ones along with that said account's profile link. When CM is back up, email them to the YAT. Email is: y_answrs_team@yahoo.com ( Missing 'E' is deliberate. )

Right now the team's likely drowning in reports so be patient, report those accounts as Option #2 & in the box put 'death threats/harassment/etc.'

Just remember that unless said reports have changed - it's 20 reports per account per 7 days so choose said reports 'wisely.'

Since nobody knows what our TR is, nor how it changes, nobody here can say for certain. I do know that when CM broke last time (back in March), I continued to report - and once it was fixed, pretty much anything I reported dropped very quickly, just as it had prior to the break.
