Has anyone else had problems with this person? I found his email really offensive.Please advise me: I've just received an abusive and racist email from another Yahoo Answers user?
I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately there are a lot of people here who think it is funny to behave like complete and utter morons. They think they are big and brave when in fact they're silly little trolls hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. There are plenty of people here who are decent though, so please don't be put off.
Forward any insulting emails to answers-abuse@ cc.yahoo-inc.com. I would also advise forwarding them to the UK Messenger Team as I've found that they are far more efficient at getting things done. Oh, for pity's sake. Yahoo won't let me write out the full e-mail address without editing it out, so just ignore the spaces in the address: uk-messenger-abuse @ yahoo-inc.com
Here are the guidelines on how to report these emails, this comes from the Yahoo! Help pages.
';At this time, we will need you to forward a copy of the message, as opposed to sending it as an attachment, because we are currently unable to accept attachments. Please include the following in your report of
email abuse to assist us in a prompt and full evaluation:
1. Original subject line -- Please forward the email with a subject identical to the original subject.
2. Complete headers -- Email programs often display abbreviated headers. To learn how to display the full headers in a Yahoo! Mail account, please visit the Yahoo! Mail Help Desk at:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/confi鈥?/a>
3. Complete message body -- Please include the complete, unedited content of the email message in question. Please do not change or edit the message in any way.
If reports of email abuse are missing any one of these three items, it may take longer for the Yahoo! Mail Abuse Team to properly investigate and take appropriate action. We appreciate your efforts in reporting this abuse to Yahoo!.';
I hope this helps... I know it's hard, but try not to get too upset bby fools who are out to cause trouble. xPlease advise me: I've just received an abusive and racist email from another Yahoo Answers user?
Don't allow emails.
Yeah, this guy Jake made several racist and insulting remarks to a question the other day; he's clearly got real problems. You should definitely report this to the organisers; people have every right to use this site without then receiving offensive emails, especially if there's racist content!
Only someone with very low intelligence would behave like this; judging by other remarks of his that I've seen, he's clearly a total moron.
The thing to do is do not take this personally and report this to Yahoo..... he doesnt know your email so when he is cancelled and hopefully disbarred from using yahoo again then he cannot contact you...
There are some real idiots on this site...
Don't make your email available for people to see. I have mine hidden so people won't see my email or any other info. Just don't post your emails where anybody can see it.
This sort of thing is getting far too common; I know that several people, incuding myself, have had abusive emails. Just ignore it, but save it in case you need it. As far as I am aware this is all prettty recent. The one I got was 5 or 6 weeks ago but other people have had them in the last week.
I just wanted to send you a hug, we arnt all like that sicko on here, Im so sorry you had to read that abuse. Send me his e.mail addy, I,ll tell him some home truths.
copy the email and send it to yahoo answers report abuse section
just ignore him.....he seems to be the retarded one.....dont waste 5pts on a loser like that. just delete him if he sends another email...or report him if you wish!
You didn't say where you were, but in many countries such an attack is considered a hate crime.
Sounds to me from the tone (esp. the use of the word ';retarded';) that ';Jake'; is a minor. Further, he has sh*tty, racist parents. I hope he is reading this and responds before he grows up to turn his on-line angst into physical violence. Don't ignore him - report him. Stop this disaster waiting to happen.
Unfortunately, receiving abusive emails is the price you pay for giving honest opinions on YA. There will always be cowards like Jake who will hide behind their anonymity in order to strike out at people with whom they disagree. The best thing you can do is simply ignore him. That will drive him crazier than anything else you can do, because he is starving for your attention.
hes some jerk hiding behind yahoo to have a pop at people....
The only thing I can think of is to block his email address, so he can't reply anymore. Hope this is of help.
What a prat, sorry you had to go through that - thats just unacceptable. I'm not perticularly sure, but I'm sure some other nice yahoo users will advise you on how to report him to YA so that he is banned. Sorry, again.
Take Care
Best Wishes
I saw that answer and yours, he doesn't know anything. Ignore him. He's an idiot. You are a good person.
What a b*****d. Sorry - all bigotry %26amp; anti - isms make my blood boil.
What was this person's address - try reporting him directly to Yahoo - weird there doesn't appear to be a specific external place for this sort of problem on Answers.
Maybe most of us just behave ourselves.
Use the do not allow e mail option .thats the best way to keep the idiots out of your mail box
Forward it to yahoo as suggested !
Please don't let that little baby and his like upset you! They aren't worth the ground YOU walk on, luv.
As you go through life you'll meet a lot of 'Jakes' who haven't the maturity to disagree without being offensive or like to Bully people and the best way to deal with them is to develop what I call 'Hole through the head syndrome' Let it go in one ear and straight out the other. It frustrates them when people don't react! Just remember that for every 'Jake' you'll meet there are 10 'Johns' and that John is a really NICE GUY!
click on report abuse
well I would most definately report him [maybe he is a nazi]
he is a small minded bigot and probably gets off on this sort of thing.just ignore him he may crawl back under his stone if he doesn't get the attention he is after
you should report him to answers-abuse@yayoo-cc.yahoo.com
report it .........we are all as one despite colour or creek.... lets live inharmony say hi to your neighbours black white pink or green ..........how good would you feel ? smiley happy people ......
you have already taken action by showing this question a lot of users will now see this so don't you worry secondly there is a report abuse section to click so yahoo will take notice im sorry you have had to deal with such a person and hope that this will be resolved soon good luck
Jake appears to be educationally challenged
probably gets off on harassment
Jake is also a coward technology is a handy tool for him
in other words a nob ....if you let it get to you the nob wins
ignore Jake he will go away looking for someone else to
intimidate......if this nob comes to mind visualise cocoa the clown at a computer
Antisemitic? The word itself is a scam.
Well well well. First of all you need to understand the difference between INSULT and ASSULT. Did he kick your ***? No, then there is not nothing you can do. If some one says bad word on a face of PRESIDENT, there will not be a DAMN thing anyone can do. Although you will be removed from the area like SMALLEST AUNT? Move on girl. You people call us by name everytime. But guess what we have the most expensive cars and houses then any of you. Is this offensive too... We are INDIANS by the way.
Its a free country and he can say what he likes my dear. If you don't want to talk to people don't allow e mail.
