Just wanted to warn people - USING YAHOO ANSWERS IS NOT SAFE. I participated in Yahoo Answers Russia section and my email was hacked as a result.
Furthermore, the hacker actually threatened me using yahoo answers. Questions appeared containing my personal information - name and address. When I sent a letter to Yahoo Abuse they responded with a generic message explaining how to close my account. They did nothing to the hacker who is still active and waiting for another victim.
The site is not moderated. Using abusive language is allowed. Trolling galore. Most answers are answered by trolls.If it happened to me - it can happen to you too. Stay away.
