A bunch of brown-nosing losers with no life. Let me see if I can find you any links...
Behold, the very definition of the word 'pathetic' :

Troll Patrol are just a group of people that report inocent people for no reason but are now losing power even their deputies are dying down. I am so happy that people are realizing how they lie to the yahoo answerers too. :)
You don't need to know how can they be stopped, They are already! They might come and show off once in a blue moon but that is it!
THIS IS A COMMENT FROM A YAHOO STAFF:
First off, we'd like to make something very clear--we do not encourage the formation of troll-hunting groups, nor do we give more power to those who participate in them.
Some groups were formed out of genuine concern and desire to help improve the quality of Answers, but they must still abide by community guidelines in the course of reporting abuse together. This includes:
- Not using multiple accounts to target users
- Reporting only what is abusive. For example, you should not report users simply for answering an abusive question
- Not sending warning or harassing emails to people, or posting them in questions and answers
Many people don't understand that they are helpful simply by reporting abusive content, or alerting the team to abuses that need more thorough investigation.
** People who form groups to report abuses are not given more weight than any other ordinary community member. **
In fact, people who file many, many abuse reports are more likely to be investigated for abuse of the reporting system. As always, if someone is abusing the site or harassing you, please report it to us, and try to keep rampant speculation to a minimum.
Thanks,
Lou

They're trolls trying to get a rise out of people. The only people patrolling Yahoo Answers are the Yahoo moderators.

If you get one as your fan, just block them. I blocked troll patrol jr.
Anyway, I think they are against community guidelines. No member can have more than one account, right. So. you can go to the forum board, and post there. If most of us do, we will eventually be listened to. They can't give certain people special treatment.

Jack P : Haven't you stated in the past that you'd report people? You specifically mentioned atheists as your targets?
Jack P, I've had this account since mid-April (about 5 months). You said I've reported somebody 277 times? 277/5=55.4
55.4 reportings per month by me? about twice per day since April (including weekends)?

They cannot be stopped...if we kill them, they will just return with new accounts, that are also trolls, proving that reincarnation is a reality, and that, regardless of karma, you cannot stoop any lower than a troll....

I'd think that the troll patrol would be reporting trolls, which is a good thing.
