Yahoo Answers' FAQ states that, "If a question or answer is reported by one or more reliable users, it will be removed." I understand that Y!A receives millions or reports a day, but I don't think it's a fair policy because I KNOW there are many trolls out to get other users they don't like. As a result numerous people receive violation notices, have their accounts suspended and/or possibly deleted just because one so-called "reliable user" reported them. I feel that Y!A needs to increase the number of reports a user receives before he/she receives a violation notice. Many times users are reported for unjustified reasons and shouldn't have to pay the price because of the report happy trolls

Yahoo is letting vindictive trolls weaponize their reporting system to destroy accounts for no reason. I am tired of watching good users get silenced by a platform that refuses to do basic oversight. This broken policy needs to end now.

Some users abuse the report button so much its actually annoying. stop giving them the power to ban people so easily.
