I have just about had it with these little mosters that do nothing but post crap on this site....Would any of you regulars be willing to start an email campaign to Yanswers to see if they cant do something about them? Personally, I'm ready to leave this site for good, which is a shame because it was so fun in the beginning...

its not the homophobes or hatemongers...its the childish, utterly ridiculous waste of space type posts that I'm talking about........maybe yesterday was just a bad morning, but its still not as fun as it used to be.......

I don't know where the guy that said reporting would make them go away got his information, but we've had one pest on here for a couple weeks, who posts ten or fifteen nonsensical messages a day in this section, who I know I've reported more than once a day, and I'm sure others have too, and they do nothing.
But my experience with Yahoo is that you can't actually reach them by email anyway. It all goes to an electronic mailbox and you get an electronic response.
They really were not prepared for the amount of work it takes to run this Questions area competently. I wonder if Google has anything similar. I've hesitated to go Google, as I've always been a Yahoo member, but their non-responsiveness to this and other problems makes me wonder.

Oh, sweetie. You've just got to roll with it. What are you going to do, start an email campaign to leave life? They're never going to quit, and you're going to find these folks everywhere. I prefer to keep these people close by, that way I can keep an eye on them.
You can have a lot of fun with these folks if you just think about it. Kill them with kindness, argue your points, tell them what you think of them. Actually, it can be a great stress reducer.
Something else to think about is this. If you start a campaign against them, doesn't that make you similar to them? They are just as entitled to their opinions as we are. They are just as entitled to voice them. And, unfortunately we can't make them use better language to do it in.
We also have the right to not read or respond to them, to post our own questions and answers and show them that they mean little more than the buzzing of a fly.
Take a deep breath and don't leave. That just concedes defeat and makes them feel stronger.

You got to be able to accept criticism and different outlooks from all sorts of being. If you don't like someone answer or honest opinion then don't ask cause this is a small percentage of how the world see us. Just don't take it to heart.

Don't respond to their posts. Continuously and anonymously report them. Encourage others to do the same.
Their queries DO get deleted if they get reported. It just takes time.

Simply report them. Enough reports and they will go Bye-bye.
