why isn't yahoo answers doing anything about those who abuse the points system?

Question

I have noticed in the past week or so that many people who post a question on yahoo, are getting a long list of consecutive answers that a just a bunch of letters strung together, not forming any words. When you look at the profiles of these supposedly different people, they are all new accounts, and all of them are in Chinese. I have reported them over and over. Why isn't yahoo doing anything? If they cant do anything, what can we in the yahoo answers community, do?

How about you focus on your own point mechanic system rather than fussing about how other people are able to cheat the system. With a website as archaic as Yahoo's, there is undeniably going to be hackers and problems galore,,,
