Why are there a ton of trolls on here? I’m not talking about spams and bots. But there are lots of people with attitude problems on here.?

Lack of oversight during the past few years after Yahoo laid off many of its staff, and then sold the company to Verizon (who has never seemed to care much about YA). When there stopped being Customer Care staff to reach out to directly, the trolls became emboldened. The more trolling and abuse, the more quality users left, and more users joined who weren't of the caliber that had left.
Not enough current users report violations, so the users who choose not to abide by CGs and TOS don't face any repercussions for their actions. Report violations when you see them. A lot of trolls either move on, or behave better, when they see their violating posts are constantly being removed. It stops being a fun place for them to play.

For two reasons,
1. Those who ask the troll questions don't really care if they get reported.
2. There is no moderator here so you may have to realize that other users have to report you and the system does not work very well. You may even be reported by another troll.

True. Because I was previously paid to attend criminal suspects,
convicted felons, and people being medically treated in a state
hospital for the criminal insane I'm comfortable within YA. Also
retired. Please hire somebody else trained to legally decide
when to take away life-threatening trolls. Cull their herd.
