To avoid being considered a spammer, do not post more than one personal profile. Multiple postings indicate spammers and might cause your account to be deactivated or deleted.

Please read our Universal Spam Policy for information on what spam is and how Yahoo! deals with it.

In Yahoo! Personals, solicitations for escort and other commercial services are not allowed. We also do not allow personal contact information (such as email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs) in the body of the profiles. Profiles containing such information might not be posted.

Please don't crawl our profile listings to solicit our users or use robots (software) to automatically place profiles. Our users don't appreciate either practice and won't reply to such personal profiles. In addition, we can detect such practices and will take corrective action against violators at our discretion. These rules help maintain a quality experience for everyone.

To protect our site from spam robots, we've installed Word Verification on the fourth page of the personal profile submission process. For more information, please see How does Word Verification work?
