Doesn't changing a question's category dozens of times amount to abuse?
I have had the categories changed on dozens of questions today, some more than 30 times. Isn't that abuse and how do you report it?
Just so that one more person doesn't give the same answer, the category is being changed to an INAPPROPRIATE category.

Yes, it is abuse if the questions are not being sent to appropriate categories. Level 7 users who abuse this feature have been knocked down to lower levels when it can be proven they're abusing it. Having said this, before you complain, make sure your own account is clean because when you report this, Yahoo might also take a look at your account, as well. Remember, nothing is hidden from staff, they have access to everything.
That said, if you're being trolled in this manner and you still wish to proceed, copy the URLs of the question(s) being moved and paste onto an email, staff will be able to find out who is moving it. Use this address.for your email and include a description of the problem. Good luck.

if they are being placed in the correct category then it is not abuse. Your past questions though read almost like you are trolling. They repetitive, obsessive & do not sound like real questions. That is most likely why they are being moved. They are getting sorted out of the way so real users can answer real questions.
