Can you please STOP, STOP, STOP, auto playing videos on your Yahoo news home pages and your Yahoo news pages especially the ones titled 'Must see' which are repeated every time I log on to the Yahoo news website. These are so annoying. Can I please choose which videos I want to watch without you keep repeatedly auto playing them when I don't even want to watch them and especially when I'm trying to READ your news items. Please let me chose which videos I want to watch. That is the most annoying feature about the Yahoo news website. If you Google it you will see many other Yahoo users want to switch these off but can't. Can you please STOP auto playing your videos.

Dear Yahoo Staff, there have been an increasing amount of spam and other abusive comments throughout the Yahoo Finance conversation boards. I have repeatedly tried to use the "report abuse" dropdown option on the upper right-hand corner of the posts to no avail. These spammed and/or abusive posts are still around months later. Below are a few of the examples:

Please look at the post history of the user Bullrage1. It is full of multiple years of youtube link spamming among other abusive posts. Many of his comments look like they're outright written by a bot.

"The Spooks have been raging this year!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEvB_ZIWtAg"

"Albert Collins at Carnegie Hall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpoPXpet-Eg"

"The season is somewhere in the late stages. And, it is all water lily pads out there.

See the post history of 'Bruce'. His entire history consists of dataunion.tistory.com links concatenated with bot like comments.

"Error is the discipline through which we advance. http://dataunion.tistory.com/7878"

"Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." http://dataunion.tistory.com/7346"

"It is happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. http://dataunion.tistory.com/7851"

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/APRN/community

See the post history of 'nieroda'. Full of lion stocks spammed comments.

"I started following "Lion - Stock - Aletrs" (Gooogle it - off course without any space or dash in between the words) and their notifications are better than anyone else."

See the post history of 'Taylor'. His comment history is chalk full of spammed SeekingAlpha links with some bot like comments in between.

"Digital Health and Digital Therapeutics are the hottest new areas in healthcare and HLYK is leading the pack and about to rocket to new highs. Timing is perfect for 10 bagger!

"Been following COLL and this AI Healthcare company is just beginning to get a lot of attention and buying. HLYK is a repeat or even bigger than NeoGenomics (NEO) going from $.20 to $15.00. That was 75 times investment and it is happening AGAIN!

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LLY/community?p=LLY&guccounter=1

See the post history of 'Al'. It is also full of spammed SeekingAlpha links with some bot like comments in between.

"Lilly wins review of Teva migraine patents in U.S. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3434551?source=ansh $TEVA, $LLY"

"FDA tentatively OKs Teva's generic Farxiga; shares up 2% https://seekingalpha.com/news/3429697?source=ansh $TEVA, $AZN"

"Teva launches generic version of Elidel cream in U.S. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3419430?source=ansh $TEVA"

If you fix the "report abuse" function, it would go a long way in getting all this spam and other abusive content can be addressed. Some of these spammers / abusive posters have already dropped hundreds if not thousands of these abusive comments over the course of multiple years already. I would certainly volunteer some time to help Yahoo clean up the boards by flagging the abusive comments and I'd imagine some of the other community members would be willing to help out as well. Thank you Yahoo Staff for your time and effort in providing these valuable discussion boards.
