Posting a question or answer to call out another community member for any reason is not allowed. This includes calling out suspected point-gamers and trolls, even if your accusations turn out to be correct. There is a correct way to report suspected abuse, and everyone must abide by it in order to maintain a safe and orderly community.

Sometimes abuse occurs "in the background" and not in questions and answers, so further investigation is needed. In these cases, you can use the text box provided on the Report Abuse page and include details and links. Don't assume someone is a troll and call them out just because you find their activities suspicious, as misunderstandings can happen and you may be publicly accusing an innocent person. Please remember to report only people who might be in violation of the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines or Yahoo! Terms of Service.

Trolls post inflammatory messages to see how others will react. Don’t encourage them by responding or by giving them extra attention.
