Stop the Report Abuse button abuse by people with multiple accounts.
You have a serious problem with some commenters that are using multiple accounts, not only to stuff the thumb counts, they are abusing the Report Abuse button to cause the deletion of any posts they do not like. One article had ALL the 116 comments deleted.
That is some serious abuse of the system and your moderators are complete ignoring the problem. Unless of course THEY are the problem and doing the deleting by hand.

Sadly, still a problem more than a year later.

What is happening is abusers are creating multiple yahoo ID's and using a common browser plugin to allow them to log in to all accounts simultaneously.
It looks like if 5 ID's report a message for abuse, said message will disappear.
Yahoo, this makes it very easy for individuals to wipe out legitimate posts for any reason at any time.
Restrict it so that it needs to come from unique (non-proxy) IP addresses, right now its a loophole trolls are using to play god on these message boards.
We know of several business associates whom have had their longtime emails and Yahoo accounts deleted by this abuse of Yahoo's automated system. Many of those former Yahoo members have attempted, to no avail, to restore their accounts only to be given the run around by Yahoo's non-customer care department. Many of those Yahoo members were premium email account members, who are professionals, who will never return to Yahoo.

I have been recieving fake e-mails from one individual, (Angela Wortham) she set up my yahoo account for me years ago. We use to be in a relalationship. Now that the relationship is over she still tries to contact me. One thing for sure a IP Address and URL Server is like a fingerprint. Please trace her use of my account and forward your findings to N.C. Department of Probation, on my behalf please. Thank you, Yahoo. To confirm this check my incoming messages or conversations. you will clearly see what i'm talking about. Angela Wortham is from Charlotte, N.C. She may also may be using more names such as Angela Martin of Charlotte, N.C., or Angela McNear of Charlotte, N.C. No contact means no contact.
