AllExperts.com - Rash of non-category questions.


Expert: Katie - 6/1/2007

Question
I have had a rash of questions that have absolutely nothing to do with my area of expertise. I know there is no way to stop these questions, but is there a way to add a button that would direct these questions to some sort of admin for quick deletion of there accounts?  Or some other way of quickly dealing with these people?

Answer
Michelle/Alex/Emma has been fishing on this site for the past week. We've blocked all the email addresses he/she is using, but you are right - we should have an option that allows experts to report abuse so we can identify questioners like this one early on, then block them before they flood the system with more annoying questions. Thanks for the great suggestion. I have put it on our to do list so our team can discuss how to implement this at our next meeting.
