I am very upset there is a MAN that is answering questions and includes an out side address,for another site, He has accumulated over 9000 points this week and that is not fair as I am level 5 and am cut off after I answer about 50 questions, I am not doing this for the points I like to give people a possible option that may have not heard of or thought of. I believe this is what this answers site is for, not for some on to use as a free advertisment site. Is ther any way we can get rid of them?

Hmm a bit like the first person to answer this in fact.
The only practical things I can see is for Y!A to :
1. Have a blacklist of banned URL's
2. If someone posts more than 1 spam item per week, kill the account
It would be a shame to prevent all links - as they are often quoted in sources etc - and a well structured answer can make good use of a legitimate URL.
However once a link is being abused, it should be entered into a blacklist where any further postings with the URL automatically result in the post being cancelled AND the account being terminated. Optionally with ONE warning first.
In the meantime, report as spam all you see - it will help Y!A to appreciate the rapid growth of the problem - if they do not hear about it, they cannot begin to rectify it.
Kind Regards

There are a couple of these people out there. There is also one named John Doe and another one by the name of Mr. Johnson. I am sick and tired of these people. I also answer questions because I am hoping that I can help people. I have also asked a couple of questions and they have answered with their d*** web sites. All we can do is flag them every time we see them. Hopefully, before long, they will be knocked off!

Well of path there are variations among personal and public college. In public faculties a few academics do care approximately their pupils and a few dont. Everyone is distinctive. All academics let us know if you're failing. If they dont say some thing we have to ask. I wager extra academics as personal faculties act greater when you consider that they understand you're paying to wait that college and with any issues your mothers and fathers can whinge to the college and particularly have their voice be heard. If academics care approximately you its a GREAT factor. Thats when you consider that you are going to be doing quality in college even as the trainer maybe for your a** but if you are going to suceed! Hope i helped PEACE!

This forum is to help out other people. It does not matter what he does or how much points he has. who cares. Give the best advice you can to whomever needs it.
That is the whole point.
Good luck, and I think that I saw a "report abuse" option. maybe press on that,

it isn't fair. there are several of these vultures trying to sell a dating site or something. this morning, there was a suicidal kid who needed help. of course, this moron came on with his dating website. many people have reported them and maybe you should too. yahoo answers is an excellent place to gain knowledge. spammers should be barred from here.

Just keep reporting him as abuse. Hopefully Yahoo will do something soon.
