Yahoo Answers - Beware of Reporters!

Posted on the 11 December 2012 by Ravenswingthog @ravenswingthog
First things first - I don't check my Yahoo account nearly as often as I ought to do.  Fully admit that.
My Yahoo email (mike_raver_1999@yahoo.co.uk) was the first email address I got, back at college in 1999 (hence the address!) and if I remember right it was coming up to the end of my first year, when I was completing NVQs Level 2 in IT and Business Admin.  Good times.
Over time it got filled with spam and I migrated to other email providers, but I kept the Yahoo account alive.
More recently I've been going on Yahoo Answers using my Yahoo account to answer questions.  I don't know why but I quite enjoy a session answering questions on there.  Basically you get so many points for answering questions (and more points if your answer is "the best" answer)
However, I've just been on my Yahoo account and it looks as though in late November someone's gone through my questions and reported them all to Yahoo.  This automatically gets me flagged up as a bad person basically, and unless I challenge the reports in 7 days (which I didn't because I don't check my Yahoo email that often) I lose lots of points.
All I can think is someone who I've reported for putting up a non-constructive answer has decided to get their own back.  Well, meh!
