Description

Learn how to remain anonymous when posting comments on Yahoo!.


Resolution

Once a comment has been posted, the comment cannot be removed by the person who posted it nor anyone else reading the comment.

If you'd like to remain anonymous, Yahoo! Profile allows users to opt out of being searched by their first name, last name, display name, or any email addresses. Yahoo! Profile affects the way you are displayed (or not) to others throughout your experience with others.

Follow these steps to become anonymous:

  1. Sign in to Yahoo! Profile and click Settings.
  2. Click Manage Privacy Settings.
  3. Deselect Allow people to find my profile by searching for my first name, last name, or display name.
  4. Click Save.
