Millions of people around the world post content to Yahoo communities every day.

is an important part of enjoying your experience using comments in Yahoo.

If you come across content you don't like or, if you just don't want to see something,

we provide tools to help you tailor the content you see.

Block

First, click the Report Abuse flag next to the content you don't want to see.

Then select "Mute Comments from...".

Content from that user will no longer be visible to you.

At times you may see more serious issues that you feel Yahoo needs to review.

These can include things like public adult content, hate speech, threats, harassment, fraud, and harm to minors.

There's a way to let us know about such serious issues.

Click the Report Abuse flag next to the content you want to report.

Select "Report Abuse" and enter details of your report.
