Why is yahoo blocking comments to news articles?
Sometimes the Yahoo servers are just busy and that "few minutes" takes much longer, especially if it's a controversial article getting a lot of comments. Suggestion - before submitting your comment, copy it to a Notepad file and save it, along with the web address and note what number comment is currently last. Then go back in 15 minutes or so and look for your comment. Start at the number you noted when you submitted and look forward. If it's really busy, you may have to wade through many pages to find yours. If you can't find it, just copy the text from your saved file and re-submit. Bottom line - you're not being blocked, it's just overwhelmed hardware at Yahoo. Plus - If you were being blocked by Yahoo, they'd send you an email notice giving the reason.

Why is Quora more popular than Yahoo Answers? What elements make it the more popular Q&A site?
A couple of years back, early 2015 I guess, I wanted to know about the basics of big data and its importance in industry.I googled “What is Big data”The first link popped up was Wikipedia - I opened in a new tab and set it aside.The second link was from Yahoo answers. I opened and was looking for some useful information.There were answers like:I was confused, irritated and most of the answers didn’t answer the question.The next link which popped was from Quora.I could find answers like this:Answer was by Balaji Viswanathan (பாலாஜி விஸ்வநாதன்) sir. That is the moment I followed him and read his other answers too! And that was the moment i decided not to refer yahoo answers for anything in future.Unlike Yahoo answers, Why was the answer better?It summed up all the information - technical explanation with real life examplesPictures made it easier for me to connect with answerThe credential “Ran a Big data company” made me believe the answer is from someone trustworthy.Upvotes and comments of appreciation from people in related field made me feel secured about the answerComments were healthy and was debating its future application.So, with no further discussions, Quora is always better than Yahoo answers.
Why is Yahoo so inept at blocking spam from my Yahoo email account? I get the same “Lonely Married Women” email every day. I understand that the spam email address changes every day, but why can’t Yahoo spam check the subject?
Actually, Yahoo! blocks a ton of spam. We have a team working very hard on this challenge that we all face. Check out this realtime view here: Visualizing Yahoo! Mail (make sure you click on the "reveal blocked spam" button) to see how much spam is being blocked at any moment. We block 4 messages for every 1 message we deliver.Still, you are seeing spam in your inbox which means that some comes though despite our attempts. But you can do things about this too.Remember to set the spam filter on your email client. If you are using the Yahoo! web client go to the Options tab and check to see that you have spam set to be filtered out and deleted.When spam comes though, please mark it as spam. We pick up that signal and it helps improve our algorithms. This way we can block more spam in the future for you and others.General tip -- make sure not to post your email address in full on a web site. I saw a report once that showed how spambots harvest email addresses from blogs and site by searching for "yourname@host.com" pattern but they don't search for "yourname 'at' host.com" So you can reduce your risk of inviting spam by making this small change.If you get a spam mail, don't click on the links. This sends the signal that you are a real person who clicks on spam. Just delete these emails. I'm sure you don't need the pills anyways.Did you know that Yahoo! also give you disposable email addresses that you could use, say if you are doing online shopping? This is another way to make sure that your email address is only used by your real friends, and that websites only see addresses you don't care as much about.Maybe these tips will help your emailing experiences. You've been with Yahoo! for 10 years, we hope you enjoy our services for at least 10 more too!
How many reports does it take for someone instagram account to be deleted?
Depends on the rules they have broken and the severity. Just the report is not enough. They review each case and make a ruling. They also look at the person reporting to see if the report is of malicious intent. You could get yourself banned/deleted also. ~
Is there a way to block someone from commenting and liking your stuff on facebook?
1. Log in to Facebook. 2. Click 'privacy settings' under the account tab on the top right corner. 3. Click 'customize' under the 'sharing on facebook' table. 4. Under 'posts by me' click customize under the tab alongside. 5. In the 'hide this from' box type her name and then click 'save setting'. It will stop her from being able to view your statuses/photos, thus being unable to comment or like them.
How can we prevent Quora from turning into Yahoo! Answers?
With all due respect, I sometimes think they should be stricter.I feel sad when I read things, that in MY opinion contain underlying racism on the part of the questioner.Things like: Why does everyone think Australian aboriginals are ugly? There are hundreds of variations of this question and for some reason I get asked to answer these types of questions. Quite honestly it makes me feel like crying.Or the: Why does everyone think an average white girl is beautiful and a beautiful black girl ugly? (It sickens me to even write this).Don’t the writers of these questions notice how insulting they are? Are they trying to provoke the 0.01% of the population that are probably racist and hate everyone. Are they trying to prove that white people are racist without noticing how racist their own question is?And also, as a question, it is a flawed question, a sub-par question, and definitely an ignorant question because it’s based on an fictitious assumption that the questioner has just dreamed up in their head.I mean, is it a forgone conclusion that everyone thinks that an aboriginal is ugly?? NO, NO, NO, then why is that question allowed in a quality site such as Quora. It belongs on a hate site.I don’t think anyone would miss my existence on Quora if I left it, but whenever I read such ignorance I really feel like giving it up. It kinda ruins my day.
Why am I unable to post or answer any questions on Yahoo Answers?
Clearly, you have upset a Yahoo! god and they are firing you from Yahoo! Answers.I used to work for Yahoo! Answers a decade ago and I used to spend a lot of time asnwering a lot of questions and the company was extremely happy with my work.In fact, they send me a Yahoo! Answers jacket to my home.I still have it.A few years later I was one of the most popular writers on Yahoo! Answers and the founder and CEO of Yahoo! at the time David Filo himself send me a letter with his signature and everything congratulating me for my hard work.I still have this letter.A decade ago, a letter signed by a billionaire was a huge deal for me.Now, I get job offers from billionaires, almost each month and I almost always decline them.I still want to work for Elon Musk, Adam D’Angelo, Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek and Ken Howery, thought.One day, all of a sudden my Yahoo! Answers account was blocked for unknown reasons.I tried to open a new account and this worked for a little while but eventually my account was blocked again.I tried to open a new account and this worked again for a little while but eventually my account was blocked again.After that, I simply stopped trying and evolved into something else.I was extremely dissapointed by all this and I could not fully understand why they were blocking my accounts.Obviously I was younger and dumber a decade ago.It turns out a billionaire got upset about some of my answers and he simply bribed Yahoo! and they fired me.I was bringing a lot of eyesballs to Yahoo! Answers a decade ago.I was answering questions for them for free, you know.Maybe Yahoo! would still be profitable today if they hired me as a regular employee back then.We will never know.It appears that you are in exactly the same situation I was a decade ago.Just forget about Yahoo! Answers and focus exclusively on Quora.They are losing money for a reason, you know.I suspect they regret firing me from Yahoo! Answers a decade ago.Ironically, I am currently one of the MOST VIEWED WRITERS on the Yahoo! (Company) category right now here on Quora.Welcome to Quora.I think you will enjoy this chapter in your life.
