SPAM in the special ed section. Does it drive you bonkers?

Question

There are certain users who's names I shall not repeat who continuously SPAM the answers community in the special ed section with spam for online degrees or Vb tutorials when those things are irrelevant to the askers questions. Does it get on your nerves? What do you do about it. I know personally, I report it.

Answer 1

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.  I click on a question to see what the answers are only to see spam.  UGH!  I report every one I come across as well.

Answer 2

yes it does--we can report them-their accounts get deleted--but they just get a new screen name and do it again

same goes for all the higher ed and standards and testings questions from people in India-very annoying

Answer 3

Yes!  It is so annoying!  I really do not understand why they even do it.  Do they really have nothing else to do??  I don't know if there is a way to get rid of them, because they can just keep making accounts.  But I share your frustration!!

Answer 4

I hate it, and I don't understand why this section is targeted so!  I hang around Pregnancy and Religion and Spirituality, and they don't get spam like this.  Even Politics is free from this stuff!  Yes, I report also, I don't even bother with the Thumbs Downs.  Why waste the energy?

Answer 5

Like justmeinthisworld I too report them and give them thumbs down. I sometimes point out that special ed is for people who have additional needs but none of it makes any difference they just keep posting them. I think the best thing would be for Yahoo to reclassify special ed so their questions get posted in studying abroad or higher education. But even after all that they just seem to create new accounts. I have reported the one above.
