Resolution

If at any time  you have found offensive or inappropriate content as a comment or on a Yahoo! message board, you can report it easily for Yahoo! to review.

To report abuse in an article comment:

  • Click Report Abuse directly above the comment.

 

To report abuse in Yahoo! Message Boards:

  1. In the message board, look at the message that contains the offensive content.
  2. To the right of the message you should see some profile information about the person who sent it. Below that you'll see a link that says Report Abuse. If you click that link, you'll be able to report the offensive content, it's location, and the name of the commenter. These details allow the Yahoo! team to take the appropriate action.

 

By reporting the offensive content as described above, we are able to collect all the appropriate information about the abuse automatically, for accurate reporting and swift action.
