Would you report it if...

Question

Let's say someone stole your Yahoo Answers account, but consistently gave Best Answers significantly upping your statistics, would you report them and why?

Answer 1

Well Duh...

Don't we want to gather points for a feeling that WE contributed?

If someone else did it for me, it's valueless to me because I didn't earn it.

It's not like I can go out and trade the points for a car or something.

If I couldn't report it, I would just make another account and start over...

Answer 2

Yes, because I see it as identity theft and I've worked very hard this past year getting to Level 7. Currently, I have 1001 Best Answers. I've established a reputation here of speaking my mind and trying not to hurt other peoples feelings.

Yes, I would report them in a heart beat, because they stepped on the Terms of Services and didn't follow Community Guidelines.

Answer 3

yes because its my account and i wouldnt want to put my security at risk

Answer 4

Of course I would report it. If they doing that well, then they should get their own account and establish their own name on Yahoo Answers.

First I am not on here solely for the points, best answers, and statistics. I enjoy the process of asking and answering questions and the answers that I give, I do so with full consideration and trying to help the other person and if I get a best answer "I" wish to receive that credit (not points) to know I helped someone.

Answer 5

Yeah that would p**s me off!  I don't want someone knowing my password, I used it for everything lol.  Bad, I know.

Answer 6

...thief is a crime, a crime worth reporting because it happened to me...
