How can we fight back against trolls and those who abuse the system of reporting!


Question: Answer quickly folks as I'm sure the thought police will have this question removed also. I won't go into too many details since it will give specific people more ammunition to harass. I basically asked why are people afraid on yahoo answers? If you (trolls) can report me why can't you answer my questions? The last person who gave their answer stated that I shouldn't bring fear into it. They went on to give me a lecture about the system of reporting and that I obviously didn't understand how the game is played. I thanked them for their response and explained to them that I was aware of what I could do and couldn't do/say and that I didn't need a lecture on how to use this excellent forum. I guess I pissed this person off cause sure enough the next day the question was removed. Clearly my freedom of reasonable thought has been slain. If you want check out my profile and you can see many of the questions I asked and answered to get a idea of how I think. Peace to you all.

While I am not reporting your question, I can tell you why it might be removed.

It violates the community guidelines. This is a forum to ask a question. Not a forum to ask a question followed by a rant.

In answer to your question, if you are reported falsely, the reporter loses credibility and won't be responded to in the future.

I also have had problems with trolls. So I make every effort to be within the guidelines so they will lose creditbility if they report me.

Good luck in the future.

there isn't anything

karma will get them love

You can't. You just have to learn to live with them on Answers like everyone else does.

What goes around, comes around.

at the end of the night just remember the trolls are sucking on balls

hope an pray msn buys yahoo an bans reporting.

Its all up to you, I have blocked the obvious and necessary ones.

Play their games, and use the report button.

trolls think they're the jocks around here.

Blocking them is the most effective way to get rid of them. The more times they are blocked, the harder time they will have reporting people. Block anybody who you suspect is a troll immediately.

theres no stopping them.

this is an excellent question that i have no answer for but will star it and see if any of my brilliant contacts have a solution

I agree with you 100% You always have hose *** holes who fell they are the Answers police. I was once reported for asking someone to explain their question in more detail.

Ignore, report, and don't let them drag you down to their level.

Trolls are COWARDS by their very nature. And rest assured, reporting too often makes a troll the Yahoo-er who cried wolf....they soon stop paying attention to the troll.

Nothing, just keep asking questions...they'll get tired or get their own account deleted for a bunch of bogus reporting!

just ignore it

What are trolls? I guess I'm a newbie.

I echo the words of Jay & Cope Ace

Hmmm...its a difficult task!...what with all sorts of multi-national 'avatars' some of which are cross dressers!...and pretending to be someone they aint!!!...most of us enjoy having fun on here...so I'll mark this as interesting!...and keep my eyes peeled...

I was called a troll because I told the truth about a group and I have only reported one person. I don't know what to do. I made this person mad because I said he was a Agnostic and not an Atheist because of his belief which was true.

since nothing has been done about this from yahoo for so long,the only help we can wait for,is when microsoft or google buy this site!
the only thing you can do now,is to be careful who you add and if you keep getting many violation notices is to *clean out* your contacts and block any of them that you're not sure of,plus make your profile private!it's too bad that it has to be like that!it used to be fun here before the trolls got wind of it!

we're all screwed...nothing we can do!!!
