Status: offline 		Actually noticed that on my IM. would get these dorks saying they new me from HS, then giving me a link. I reported a few as  spam, then got several more on offline messages.  One of the reasons why I have been 'invisable' though unfortunately didn't work.

What are You referring to, YourhandMyAss?  Yahoo email?  i didn't even know there was a way to report spam there.
 
Lately i've ben plagued by bots on Yahoo IM, using my old profile which i have turned off.  i always click the 'report user' box before i hit 'ignore'.  Maybe i should stop doing that?
 
Gawd damned Yahoo -- so damned buggy.

Status: offline 		top of inbox yahoo mail has Inbox in big bold letters then a view all messages with a down symble then it says delete spam mark move.

I select all the letters that are spam then hit spam. Course I doubt it was doing any good since I'm getting like 10 to 15 a day now after a few times of hitting the spam button.

Status: offline 		Set up your mail controls so that anything that isn't on your list goes to bulk mail/another folder, (which can be a pain if a new friend emails you.)  I'm getting to where I am getting annoyed with my yahoo addy.  Unfortunately out of boredom (or hope that it will work.) I occasionally fall for the survey thingy.  Nothing but my own fault.

Status: offline 		I've noticed a huge increase in spam on my accounts with different ISPs over the past few weeks.  One regularly gets spam from Brazil based sites.  And there is an increasing number of lottery, wills, business scams filling my inbox.  Seems like the spam filters can't keep up.

Status: offline 		I'm guessing it's a yahoo thing...seems like everytime I've reported spam, I end up with 3 or 4 of the identical e-mails in my box in like 5 minutes...I even set up the filters, and it still doesn't work.  I emptied my box, went back in 6 hours later and had almost 30 of the stupid things!  Talk about a pain in the arse!  I've reported it to Yahoo, all I get back are those canned e-mail instructions....no real live person.  Hopefully, they'll receive enough complaints about it and look into it.

It's a personality thing.

The kind of people who *would* use MP and luncheon meat, wouldn't send spam in the first place.

Status: offline 		With Yahoo, maybe they are overflowing with spam and every time you hit the spam button, more of the crap  spills over the rim of the spam tub and ends up in your inbox.

Never get spam with MSN or Gmail. I just use yahoo as a junk box now.
