Why does YA encourage trolls to make false abuse reports?

There are Trolls in YA that target people and make multiple abuse reports. YA is very familiar with this and has chosen to do nothing. Recently, I intentionally made all my answers recently very simple and inane just to avoid violations. I said “NOT!” and I was hit with 9 answer violations in 1 day by some troll. I also got 3 best answers and then was suspended. Here is an example of my answer:


Question: North American Union to Replace the USA?


Question Details: NOT!


Deleted Answer: NOT!


Simple, direct, inoffensive and clear answer.


The Trolls know YA refuses to do anything 99% of the time. Because I said in my appeal post that “NOT!” was an answer, Freddy at YA DELETED my post before he pulled his usual “not an answer”. He didn’t want people viewing the post to see how absurd his answer was. No competition. Interesting how quite a few users thought it was an answer and it was even selected as best answer.


Fred at YA knows he is wrong using excuses like “it isn’t a question” or “it isn’t an answer” on all of these false violations instead of DOING HIS JOB. He also rates his own answers, deletes all posts critical of him, almost never answers the simple question “why?”. Now I have been suspended and they still won’t tell me why.





This activity has taught dozens (possibly hundreds) to be violation report abusers. By Fred’s refusal to DO HIS JOB, instead of solving problems he is actually causing them. Here is the sequence.


1. A user answers a question absolutely correctly by YA TOS.


2. Troll decides to have a little fun and report answer as abuse.


3. User receives an automated violation report from YA.


4. User replies with supplied link on violation report asking why.


5. YA sends ANOTHER absolutely useless automated response a few days later


6. User, now irritated at time wasted, posts on violation forum and asks for details WHY?


7. A few days later, Fred at YA, refusing to DO HIS JOB, sends what almost can be considered another automated response, denies appeal.


8. The User (now pissed) asks again for specifics.


9. Fred either totally ignores the post or deletes it because it makes him look bad.


10. User (now livid seeing how outrageously stupid the system is) turns into a troll created by Fred’s carelessness.


11. Nice job Fred, you made another Troll. Job security.Why does YA encourage trolls to make false abuse reports?
Maybe I should be a trollWhy does YA encourage trolls to make false abuse reports?
Not! (Simple, direct, inoffensive and clear answer.)





Good luck. I hope you have less trouble down the road.
