Reporting an inappropriate comment or abuse


Resolution

Anywhere you can post a comment or photo on Yahoo!, you will find a link nearby that says either Report Abuse, Report or Flag

Follow these steps to report abuse on a Yahoo! comment, photo, or message board:

  1. Locate the comment or photo in question and click the Report Abuse link (or Flag or Report) for that entry.
    - If you are asked to sign in, sign in and click the Report Abuse link again.
    - A "Thank You!" message displays.
  2. For particularly serious forms of abuse: Click the "here" link in the last sentence of the "Thank You!" message.
  3. Select the type of violation you are reporting.
  4. Click Report to submit.
    - A "Thank You!" message displays.
