Do you always report spam on Yahoo! Answers?

Question

Whenever people answer one of my questions, they are ALWAYS reported if there is a link in it that doesn't pertain to the question, OR if I check their profile first and see that they answer every question with that link.

In my opinion: don't just give the spammers a thumbs down, people. Report it!

What do you think?

Answer 1

I report it because I like this forum and would like to help maintain the integrity of it.  People trying to sell you something should stick to ebay.

Answer 2

I feel that spam and phishing are very disrespectful.   I often report spam on many services.  I feel that if one wants to place an ad for something, they should go to a service like Ebay, Craigslist, or one of the other online shopping sites or a newspaper classified instead that is designed for selling things and place their ad there.

Answer 3

I do, and I report phishing as well.

Answer 4

Yeah I do. And I think you are doing the right thing.

Frankly I just reported one 2 minutes ago. It was about the question "How can a 14 year-old boy make money online?" in the Men's Health category.

I have seen this question over a thousands of time and I know this is a spam. I just keep reporting those people who are spammers.

Answer 5

I'm level 4, and haven't met any spammers yet.But, I would if I did meet them. I have reported people for racist or hate Q's before.

So, yeah. I think you are right.

EDIT: Alex is wrong. the 14yr old boy is realy a cop looking for perv's on the internet. I hope they find 'em all, and fry them!Go get 'em!

Answer 6

I report it. Drives me nuts when folks spam!
