Do you report abuse within this site?

Question

Just curious to know how many of you actually report abuse when you see it. There are some very angry and bitter people here, which is ok, but it surprises me to read some of their responses.

I report abuse when the answer is not relevant to the question. Kinda like a tattle tale isn't it? What do you think? Report it, or ignore it?

Answer 1

new here, never reported nething. yet

Answer 2

Hi !!!

    I did it once, i felt the question was racist, and extremely degradable, to public in general.

    Also I felt it was very offensive to Martin Luther King Jr., who if it would not be for all his efforts, probably a lot of people would not have all the opportunities, that we actually enjoy today!

    I found it to be very disrespectful, towards humanity itself.

GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY LIFE

Answer 3

it depends on the situation, if there making fun of u why dont u just suck it up and go cry me a river? but if there calling u bad names( like cuss words ), or being really rude  or asking bad questions that are to personal or inappropriate, or just being stupid and messing around then id report them b/c i think it blocks them from you or it gives them a penalty from yahoo answers.

Answer 4

Yes, I do.  Mostly spam, but I got tired of the racism and reported one today.

Answer 5

Yes, I report anything I see that is either insulting, to an offensive degree, or any answer that does not relate to the question asked.  I also report any abuse that is advertisements to go to peoples' websites, buy/use products, or visit/read other blogs that don't relate.

Answer 6

I report spam only.  The rest of the time I ignore things.  As most people should.

Answer 7

Happily - the abuse level has dropped tremendously lately - compared to when I first began to participate . . . the function is not as useful as it once was - - - ignoring something reportable and moving to something else works the best, for my purposes.

Answer 8

Yes. I do report abuse.

Answer 9

Depends on the question and/or answer, if I don't agree with it I'll just move on, wont even thumbs down.  If I don't agree fully with a fact type of answer then I will thumbs down the answer.  

However those who are being rude or flat out make this place unpleasant to the common user, then yes I report them

Answer 10

I report abuse mostly only when people make references to abuse or inappropriate sexuality.

Answer 11

Yup. I report Abuse. That's not to be confused with a dissenting opinion. People are entitled to their opinions, even when you think them "bitter" or "mean".

And if your're stuck on being a "tattle tale", perhaps you should go do your homework and stop hanging around sites like this.

Answer 12

I say report it.

This is a place where many underaged kids are asking questions, they should not be exposed to this!
