Did you know that if someone continues to report you for nothing, you have recourse?

Question

I wrote Yahoo!

Please be kind enough as to investigate these alleged violations. It is
my contention that people do not want to hear my point of view and are
"Reporting" me to have my account suspended. Thank you for your time
and feel free to look at my questions and answer. Again, thank you.

Answer 1

Yeah, i know who and what you're talking about!!!!!! Strange thing is though, us ANTI-illegals do not do the same thing to her!!!!!!!!! I ONLY report people who are vulgar and outrageouly profane!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Yes and I got that same thing exact word for word but nothing ever came of it. The question was what is the stupidest answer you've ever gotten to a question. So I answered with someone else's answer and got reported. I thought that was stupid. But it doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of things. It's not like they're taking 100 bucks each time or anything.

Answer 3

Thought you people made a decision to stop bashing Pancha and not responding to imposters; what the hell do you think this milk shake is. All the Pancha bashers are such phonies after all. You are an imposter and I wll report you for the hell of it.

This sounds like the whining of a Chief.

Answer 4

I am pretty sure I know who the he/she you are all talking about on here who has had about 20+ accounts. This person seemed fairly sensible in the beginning here, even though she spouted a lot of nonsense in her defense of illegal immigration, due to her having a loved one that she is just about willing to take a bullet for, she is so determined to get amnesty for this person!
Anyways, over the past few months, I have seen her seem to have almost what could be called a nervous breakdown in her determination to break the resolve of those of us who are adamantly AGAINST illegal immigration.

Anyways, I am glad to see that the anti-illegal immigrants here have stood their ground and mostly in a very reasonable manner. Not taking bait thrown by the pro-illegals, for the most part. Personally, I hate when I see posters who parade here as "anti-illegals" spout racist rhetoric and I do not feel at all akin to those posters. In my mind, this issue is NOT about skin color AT ALL! It is about the illegals in this country who are, by their sheer numbers now, downgrading our country by their indiscriminate use of welfare, medical care, the anchor baby loophole, dragging down the wages of many occupations, continuing their criminal behavior by such acts as using fraudulent SSNs, driving without valid licenses and insurance, etc. and then having the nerve to march and protest and demand rights in this country where they do NOT have any rights - and thumbing their noses at our generosity and tolerance by also denigrating our flag and our country.

To all of us anti-illegal immigrant supporters, I say, "Hang in there, stick together! We are making progress! The Federal government will come around because they will have no choice as they see the cities and states doing their job for them in securing our borders and protecting the sovereignty of our country!" There is a light at the end of the tunnel and we can see it getting brighter every day! The illegal immigrants are getting scared now, more than ever, as they have to nervously watch over their shoulders and are afraid to come out of their homes any more than they have to for work and school. What kind of a life is that? Not much, I don't think!

As we seal our borders and crack down hard on the employers of illegals and cut away the illegals' access to our social benefits, we are winning and they will be leaving more and more every day! They will go home and bring about change and reform in their own countries - something we have only enabled them to put off having to do by allowing them access to our country illegally. Maybe even, someday, they will thank us!! Let's hope so! Because I think they will be a much prouder people and the world will be a much better place when they clean up their own countries and no longer feel a need or desire to leave them. Their future generations will have a much better life!

Answer 5

I write them every time I feel like I am not in violation. The idiot that many of us has sworn to ignore used to constantly report me. I wrote them and told them of the things she was doing and how even though she has about 20 aliases, was using the "report abuse" button as a censor button.

Answer 6

Yes. If you see the community guidelines, it does say that you aren't supposed to report people just because you disagree with them or don't like them personally.
I also agree with Princess that there is definately one person (I'm pretty sure I know who/what you are talking about) who has several accounts so that people think that they are a bunch of people. I've even told he/she/it that they are not supposed to have a bunch of accounts.

Answer 7

I dare say this reporting stuff is ridiculous when they don't investigate. I can understand easy reporting, but I feel it is too restrictive if they don't investigate the reports. They don't even give us a policy for these investigations. Unfortunately they own the website.

Answer 8

I received an email accusing me of gaming for points, as if they are worth anything. I responded to their mail with a letter and never heard a word back. At least you received a response, even though it sounds like just lip service.

Answer 9

I couldn't tell you how many venomous letters and IM's I have gotten from people telling me they are going to report me. Or just to tell me how stupid they think I am. Through it all i have only had one answer removed. Of course....I have had my share of impostors who, with the help of a certain female accomplice did everything they could to embarrass me...but...hey...their actions were and are no reflection on me...It was only proof positive that i was and still am on the right side of this debate.

Answer 10

They give that same response no matter what you say to them. I once asked if a real person could respond to my email. The response I got was still the same. I think the abuse team is all robots.
