I'm going to suggest the above to Yahoo. Blocking the IP address would keep the offending person from violating all the rest of us, Yahoo's community guidelines, spreading hatred, and recreating avatars.
Anyone have any suggestions to add to this?

Libraries where I'm at use log in sheets, and patrons agree to usage rules. Patrons can lose priveleges for inappropriate actions on the internet. Library cards are scanned (upc coded).

What if you are being deleted unfairly because someone has a vendetta against you? Does Yahoo go through all the abuse flags and actually look at the so called offense or do they just trust people to use their so-called better judgement?
It will probably get rid of the offenders, but it may take others with it. Isn't just as easy to mark it as a bad question or thumbs down an answer so you don't have to read it. Those people are out there. Wouldn't you rather be aware of them?

No it's not a solution. Most people have "floating" IP addresses rather than fixed ones, so that the IP address is different each time they log on.
It would also unfairly punish other, innocent, people using that IP address.
Furthermore, there is nothing stopping them from using a friend's computer, or one in a library or cyber-cafe.

Yes I have clicked on one link here and will not do it anymore. I was trying to figure out what movie to go and see and one sent me a link saying these were some extra trailers from a movie. When I clicked on it then I was taken to some porn junk. It slowed my computer down to a crawl and any time I signed on it would always pop up. So sad to say if I see a question that has a link on it I will not click on it. But there is nothing we can do about it but report them and sooner or later they will run out of names to come back under. Thanks for the heads up and I never thought of saying something about the way they work here. Hope it all helps. Have a Blessed Day.

It seems like one of them said tonight they came back even though their IP addess had been blocked and that in 4 days the block was over.
I think the best thing we can all do is to quit answering or commenting on their questions and block them from answering ours. If they don't get the attention they are seeking then they will go away.

No, that would not be a good idea because he or she- the offender- could be using a public computer and other people don't deserve to be blocked because of one person

Obviously they already do that, but Yahoo isn't catching up. I do believe there's a way around it, and the brilliant computer guys, are doing it better than Yahoo. Someone needs to get those guys on payroll for Yahoo. Maybe the whole system would go smoother. Think about it, they already know how to slip in, why not put them to work.

NO! I hate limitations, and I hate baggots who are ugly, rude, inconsiderate, trolls, get other folks in trouble for minor nonoffensive things, and who make yahoo a/q less fun.
by the way, yahoo is doing a decent job. i wouldn't want to change it and this idea of yours really suck!
I'm not one of the those nasty people giving nasty remarks/questions, but my answers don't always follow the guidelines.

no i think thats mean. an eye for an eye is not the way it works. if we just block them they will never learn a lesson but instead react with anger and hate that the world just shut them out without another chance.

yes!! ♥ also, i thenk u shud have a answers account for a week before u can partipate, that way, they cant just make a new one evree time they come on, they will have to remember like 20 passwords, also they will have to be contasntly make accounts, and waiting a week before they can use them. just doing that simple thing wud make it insanly hard to create multiple new accounts, without major tracking and sheduling.
