Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
can anything be done about those chinese looking posts?
I've tried posting this to the suggestions page, but something ought to be done now. I know this isn't the yahoo help page. I just wondered if anyone else had done anything.

Some have reached out and tried to contact anyone affiliated with Yahoo via email or as you did. Thus far it appears no action is being taken and we have no way to know if anyone who can stop the spam is aware of it happening.
All we can do is wait and see. It's the worst spam attack the site has ever had to endure, but when it happened in years past, there were staff available to deal with it.

Perhaps we should all click on to many of these 'Chinese' post and appear to answer them with a lot of rubbish. Maybe they'll then be taken down. Our answers will be returned to someone, somehow I am sure.

They are advertisements for an online casino, which is a violation of Yahoo Answers TOS.
I don't know how to contact whoever it is at yahoo answers that can make it stop, but they are getting quite annoying.
There must be some people signing up for whatever site they are advertising, because if no one was signing up, they would be losing money by now and would move on to some other way to advertise.
