What is "spam" on a message board and how do I get rid of it?


Resolution

Spam refers to messages that are posted repeatedly or are unrelated to the topic of discussion. These messages sometimes solicit services or contain commercial or advertising content. Spam is strictly prohibited. Posting spam might result in the termination of your Yahoo! account.

If you find spam on Message Boards, please click Get Help on this page and let us know so that we can take the appropriate action.

You can also filter out users that you find are posting spam by accessing our Ignore User Filter.

You can also help hide these unwanted messages by using the ratings feature. By giving spam and off topic posts a 1 star rating, you can help prevent them from being seen by other people in the message boards community.
