Reply:u have the name and phone number of the person to be contacted. just call him and speak to him. Or send a email to him as asked by him. But in any case dont give your bank account number, just your name, e mail adress, and phone number. If it is genuine they will tell u what do do.If it IS true give them your adress and tell them to send the draft/cheque bu post. They might ask you to send some money to them as administrative charges. If they do that, then this is a clear cut case of fraud/scam. dont send any money. Tell them to deduct the administrative charges from your prize money.Then see what happens.


I did the same and after my e mail telling them to deduct charges their end, the mails stopped.


You must learn first hand, do try the way I have told you


rest is upto you.

Yahoo Pool wont let me load lobby, says can't verify user id, but i can be logged in & use yahoo mail.?

I logged into yahoo, and can use mail, or any other services by yahoo, just not yahoo games. It says " can not verify user id " but it has me logged into yahoo on same ID and lets me do anything else i want on yahoo. The room i am getting the error on is " anyurism " in yahoo pool. I use my yahoo ID " bootem_champ " and also tried other ID's, but still get same error. Why and how do i fix this?

Yahoo Pool wont let me load lobby, says can't verify user id, but i can be logged in %26amp; use yahoo mail.?
They must be having issues today. It's not just you. I can't get into Towers either and I've never had trouble before. Answers was down earlier for maintenance, so they may be doing maintenance on some games as well.

Have any of you ever gotten a Violation notice on Yahoo answers that seemed completely unfair and wrong?

Have you been reported to the Yahoo Administration Staff for no good reason? I have!!! People reporting you “because they can and should” because they don’t like your answers is just plain wrong!!! She did wrong, I’m telling!!! I’ll get him or her into trouble, hahahaha! I’m a customer, damn it, of yahoo answers, not my fault they don’t charge us to use it. Yahoo Answers are fun for me, just like going down to Dairy Queen and getting an ice cream cone. It’s a treat for me, but all that fun goes down the drain when I have to deal with violation notices and administrative notices. Then there is no fun in Yahoo answers for me at all.





I am a customer and although I may not be always right, I demand respect… these violation notices make my blood pressure go up, I get headaches, and I wait for the axe to drop. I write to yahoo, and all I get is a form letter. This is over a free service?





How many of you believe this:


Are Q%26amp;As deleted automatically when they are reported for abuse?


No, they're not automatically deleted. Each abuse report is reviewed by a customer care agent to determine the appropriate action. It isn't possible to "attack" someone by repeatedly reporting them for abuse because deletions are not automatic. Yahoo! Answers adheres to the Yahoo! Privacy Policy.


I saw a lady saw she was going to report me, and in 2 minutes, I got a letter from Yahoo.








I'm really ticked off with all of these righteous people who thing they should turn you in, because they don't agree with you.





What is a tattletale?


Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a yahoo answers snitch!!!





Attention or Detention?


From Sue


When a Child Tattles....


Behavior Description


This child likes to 'tell on' everyone. He/she's a chronic tattletale and will be caught up in some of the following phrases: 'Erin won't let me play.............Jason is copying my work..................Kim budded in front of me in line.........Ben took Evan's snack............


Every classroom seems to have tattletales but some children become chronic and telling on others is a frequent occurrence. This child often uses tattling as a form of threatening other children. For instance: 'I'll tell on you if you don't let me play with you.'


Why?


The child who tattletales is usually seeking attention, this child needs to know the difference between appropriate 'telling on somebody' and when it isn't appropriate to tell. Tattletales do so as it gives them a sense of power.


Try and determine what the child's needs are that makes him/her want to seek attention in this fashion. Usually a tattletale has a self-esteem issue, when they tattle, somebody listens and they are gaining the attention they seek which often makes them feel important.


Interventions


Dealing with a tattletale can be tricky. Usually the tattle tale is aware of the routines and rules to be followed and tells on a child that isn't following them. This gives them the opportunity to 'look good' so to speak. It is important to listen to the tattletale, but equally so, the child needs to try and solve the problem on their own. Prompt the child as to how they could resolve the issue.


A one to one with the tattletale is also a helpful method. Remember - acknowledge that the child knows the rules/procedures but that there's a better method of dealing than becoming a tattletale. Always remind the child that there is a place for tattling and it is when a child is in danger or in trouble, for older children it could mean being involved in something illegal.


If the child is a tattle tale because it give him/her a sense of power, you could give him leadership opportunities to help deal with the tattling, focus on the child's strengths and downplay the weaknesses.


Teach the child through role playing, the value of knowing when to tattle and how to solve their own problems instead of tattling. This will take time and will require you to put some scenarios together for practice.


Children should understand the hurtful consequences of tattling and whenever possible, they should apologize for inappropriate tattling.


Children need to be part of the solution and or consequences. Always ask them how they could have resolved the issue instead of tattling.


Avoid lectures and quick irrational decisions. E.g., if you tattle again, you'll be grounded for a year! or you'll have 6 detentions"


Sometimes a tattletale always seems to 'tell on' the same child. In this case, encourage the child to find something positive to say about the child.

Have any of you ever gotten a Violation notice on Yahoo answers that seemed completely unfair and wrong?
Sorry to hear your story and I urge you contact representatives by telephone as well as writing letters to them. In my personal opinion I believe in free speech and that is why I choose to live in the U.S. instead of being a first class citizen in the developing country. Here is my two cents and You need to be honest and fair when you fight and make sure you respect others. Remember free speech is a key that we American practice every day. Good luck and try to explain to Yahoo again. This time you might get your point across. Thank you for the information and question.
Reply:You must be a very amazing person! Your comment was very well thought out and well spoken! I believe in free speech, too. Report It

Reply:yes I was deleted once for asking a question about a mental illness I have and things I can do to prevent it
Reply:yup! can't remember what it was for but it was something Innocent.
Reply:no, but it can happen anytime
Reply:Luckily, I have not been reported yet.
Reply:Yes,all the time.
Reply:Yes.





Several times.





Especially on the R %26amp; S. Some bigots can't stand it when their arguments have been demolished with facts.





I even answered a question wherein I was the one being attacked and Yahoo! deleted my answer while allowing the person who asked the question to continue violating community guidelines.
Reply:yea, i agree. i got a violation for using an = sign instead of writing out "equal", when the ? was is this equal or is one worse than the other.
Reply:lol yea ... lots of times


i agree with you even though i dident read your whole thingy , i tried, but the big words ! nooooooooo
Reply:i have been viotlated twice for askin legit ? i asked about adult toys.. i wanted to know how many females used them and if they liked them cuz my man wants me to use them..
Reply:In my opinion you are acting like the tattletale's you describe. I received two such summons. One I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The other, I felt was unfair.


The difference between me and you though is I am not going into a rage about it. Through out life you will be confronted with opposing ideas and differences. Are you going to act like a spoiled brat each time?


You have some maturing to do my friend.
Reply:last night someone posted the very same question I did a month or so ago, asking if anyone would like to say where they are from. My question was deleted, lost 5 points, but this one got posted, was allowed to be responded to and was....I still don't get it.....some people post such things as to say they have committed a violent act, and repeatidly, just worded differently every time, but same person, and those are allowed....I still don't get it.....
Reply:yes i have
Reply:yes, i was shocked when my question was deleted, i was asking an honest and g-rated question, so i wrote back and got that automatic letter. no way a live person checked it out or it would not have been deleted. it makes me not want to even come here because there are some very silly people reporting violations for no reason.
Reply:who hasn't on here?
Reply:Are we a little cranky? Maybe you should read the TOS again, cause if Yahoo doesn't "believe it to be unsuitable", then nothing will happen to you!





OMG... I just went to look at your page and this question is posted on there (still accepting new answers) like 6 or 7 times...and you want to know why you are being reported...
Reply:no i haven't but if i did get reported it would probablly be for some stuptid reason. and there is no such thing as a stuptid question or a stuptid answer.(actually yes there is but if it makes u feel betteru can say that) (if i were u i would find the person who reported u and report them that's wat i would do!)
Reply:Amen. I agree! I got in trouble because some one asked a stupid question, and so I gave a stupid answer. The person reported me. You know what? If you want to ask a question, you are going to get opinions. Some are stupid, and some are good. We don't need to tattle. We aren't in Elementary School.


Yahoo Messenger 8 Unsafe??

I just found this on IWebRadio.com:





NOTE: Users of Yahoo Messenger 8! A virus or code has been inserted into the Yahoo Messenger Beta 8 program. Looks like Yahoo must have hired a former AOL Programmer. It will send a message to the people in your buddy list from you sending them to a website on Geocities UK to view some "Drunk Pics" This site is a Phishing site designed to look like a Yahoo Page and will as them to login with their Yahoo Name and Password. It will also add this code to their installed versions of Yahoo Messenger. We recommend you change your password, uninstall Ver 8 and install the last version of Yahoo Messenger 7.5! You can download it from www.oldversion.com We have no way of knowing how long Yahoo will take to fix this so we suggest you DONT update to the latest version until it IS declared safe!





Any idea if there is any truth in this as it has got me worried about version 8! Thanks.


Nathon.

Yahoo Messenger 8 Unsafe??
No. This is entirely untrue. There have been some problems with v8 Beta ... I think especially when upgrading from v7.5.





There are some spam/phishing messages currently making rounds which send links to undesirable websites but nothing in the actual program itself.





The only likely justification for any truth in this is that one of the many plugins which can be installed as extras to v8 is the culprit. Yahoo released the SDK for creating plugins and anybody may do this but only the ones with the Y! logo can be supported by Yahoo.
Reply:Using the Internet is 'dangerous' of course (in terms of all the undesirable stuff out there). I have always had up to date anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware installed and I've never yet had any serious problem with chat/messenger software (I don't use chat rooms very much at all, though!) Report It

Reply:i'm having this prob... hope it gets solved by installing yahoo messenger 7.5 Report It

Reply:i am not using it. anyways thanks for the information.
Reply:Thanks for the heads up,, I have not had a problem as of yet,, hope its not true but I will tell all my friends that this may occur





again thanks
Reply:All instant messaging software is inherently unsafe due to its design. I make a good living removing viruses and malware from computers owned by adults and used by their kids for online chatting.


Will Yahoo Mail be deactivated if you just log into your Yahoo Groups or Yahoo Messenger only?

I reactivated the Yahoo Mail a while ago to test something, But I no longer plan to use the mail, I been told that if you don't log onto Yahoo Mail for 3 months, It deactivates. But I would like to know if logging onto Yahoo Messenger or into the Yahoo Groups would make it not to deactivate after the 3 months? I don't plan on using the mail, But still access my Yahoo ID for my other things like my Yahoo Messenger or the Groups and everything else from Yahoo.com

Will Yahoo Mail be deactivated if you just log into your Yahoo Groups or Yahoo Messenger only?
no


ur mail is attached with ur account


it will not be deactivated
Reply:Probably, if it is inactive within 6 months.
Reply:The way I understand it, and this has happened to me, an account is deactivated in you do not sign in for a period of either 60 or 90 days. By signing into your Y! Groups account you will keep the account active, since you are signing-in to the account. I guess using Messenger will work, too, since it accesses the user database.
Reply:Those will still work even if your yahoo mail is deactivated.
Reply:3 months it is deactivated and have to sign up again if u use messenger than it is active.
Reply:no


i think
