Have you been suspended by being targeted only to return with another new account, thinking that you’re fighting the fight, by heading back in to Y!A and feeding the trolls? Don’t feel badly because you’re not alone. Those numbers equate to many, many millions of people. Do you have numerous accounts simply because if one gets suspended, you can head right over to the next account and continue to ‘fight the fight’ and yep, feed the trolls?
The more accounts that Yahoo suspends and then encourages you to open new ones, the better they look to their advertisers. Your suspended accounts remain, even if you’re incapable of using it, Yahoo does. Yahoo uses it to sell advertising. That’s right, if you open 50 new accounts, they are counted and handed over to advertisers as 50 NEW prospective buyers. Your suspended accounts remain on the books as prospective buyers who might push that button and buy products that are advertised.

That's why yahoo does nothing to stop clones, trolls or anything. And that's why you can't voluntarily close your answers account.
How long do you think it'll be until this question gets deleted?

Yahoo only suspends for what!? Clearly you've done no research on the subject. I've never been suspended either but have had numerous warnings and deleted Q's & A's for no reason. You tell me all the racist and Anti-US BS through here is OK but asking a legit Q about politics and policy is not. Another sucker.

That was for you chocolahoma, by the way I, and the people I have contacts with answer REAL Q and A, not ones about If Hanna has a boyfriend, or if the world will ever embrace hockey.

Yahoo isn't doing anything that 10,000 other web content providers aren't doing.

And I've never been suspended.

My understanding is you only get suspended for serious misconduct, like racist statements, or spamming, that sort of thing...

I think a majority of users hold only a single account. Most of us aren't in here trying to "fight the fight" or "fight for the right to party" or whatever the heck you're talking about..

You know...

Amazon.com just opened their own answers forum. Maybe they'll be more kind to you.

Now it all is clear. Yahoo is just one big crap whole, and it's that way for a reason, not incompetence. Answers is using us all.
