stop shoving the discover-tab down our throats
Nobody asked for the new (may 28, 2020) format, and the regulars who specialise in a few categories need the answer-tab as default. We don't need to be shown the questions that we've already seen/answered

I do not wish for emails when others answer -- I have changed preferences and STILL your site will not do what I request. t
Fire your staff as they cannot follow simple instructions that yahoo has as policy.

Make it easier to report and suspend problem users who harass others
People are getting away with harassment on a daily basis take this individual for example who is a long time user and has been getting away with this insulting and bullying for years he goes by LAN
https://answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?show=j3Nh99eeaa
nearly every answer he gives insults the asker of the question and has been regularly violating community guidelines and terms of service and there is no way to contact yahoo about it
need more proof just look at his answer where he calls the asker stupid when they asked a real question and wanted real answers

What is the point of having followers, now that you can't see your contacts' activity anymore in the new layout?
I can no longer see the activity (upvoting, answering) of the users I follow anymore. Bring that back!!

Allow us to delete our questions after people have answered them.
Currently, if someone has answered a question I have posted, I am unable to delete that question, even if it is a spam answer. This is unacceptable, and I've put up with it for far too long. if I've got nothing but garbage or troll answers, I will never give somebody best answer, anyway, so what's the point?

Allow us to block Anonymous answerers!
A lot of times, our questions are filled with troll answers who go Anonymous. This way, we can't block them and they continue to troll in our questions.
If we can block Anonymous users, this problem will be solved!

WHY In GODS name did you change the category leaderboards to reflect total POINTS instead of Total BA's in that category?
You haven't updated the overall POINT Leaderboards in Years...... yet, you have now changed the Category Leaderboards to reflect POINTS, which is a meaningless Statistic as to why someone LEADS that category. Either UPDATE the overall Leaderboards (and remove all the dead, suspended accounts) or put it back the way it was! Makes ZERO sense!

Bring back the appeal email so we know our post has been reported and removed. It is sometimes very hard to keep track of your post.
We should not have to keep track of our appeals to post removed. We should be getting an email to inform us of a post being reported and removed. It was that way in the past and still should be again. It not an extra cost to Verizon. It has already been programmed

Penalize Anonymous Post, No Points for Anonymous answer
Anonymous posters wreak havoc on Y!A. Here's a way to minimize:
1. Allow Anonymous post, but charge 10 to 20 points. Some Groups need Anon postings.
2. But DO NOT allow Posts if they have 10 points or below,
3. AND don't award points for Anonymous answers. Zero, zip, nada.15th ranked -

You are enabling trolls to abuse the report system!
What happens if my content is wrongly reported?
I have received a few standard emails from Yahoo stating:
"...it has come to our attention that you may have violated the TOS(http://www.yahoo.com/r/ts). Please reread the TOS and cease any use of your account that may
violate the TOS.
If your use of your Yahoo! account is brought to our attention again,
and we believe that such use violates the TOS, then we may terminate
your account without further notice ..."I know that I am being wrongly reported by trolls and I have NO way to appeal this decision.…

Display USER NAME next to question
Please display the USER NAME of the person asking the question next to the question in listing.
🌟 Allows us to see if it's posted by Anonymous.
🌟.Allows us to see if one User is posting all their homework questions.
🌟This should be easy to implement, and yet it would really help us stay away from Trolls or abusers without Y!A additional programming.The idea here is to be able to skip questions without having to open the question just to see it's Anonymous. I personally will not answer any more of these in Math & Science.
Thank you,
