Very well said & thank you. I do not want to be a snitch but currently in the Travel Philippines Section there are new accounts that are using the same names/avatars of regular YAPpers & some are accounts that have been opened years ago but whose owners have changed their names & avatars to resemble certain YAPpers (or their spouses or partners). And they are posting reportable content probably to force certain YAPpers to reply with reportable content themselves. I do not know if any of them have been reported but I'll try to. I agree Jonas.

Our words and actions should be guided by the Community Guidelines and it should not be hurtful or condescending another user. The freedom to express ourselves creates great responsibility to do it. @Papa Chuck - I certainly appreciate all the help I can get Papa Chuck. It's not easy getting rid of clones and trolls because it's so easy to create a new account, but that doesn't mean we'll just let this behavior to community. A lot of things are being done to prevent this and I believe the community will play an important part in stopping clones and trolls. If you have accounts you wish to report, feel free to email them to me (jonasdelosreyes [at] yahoo [dot] com) and I will gladly check them out. @Japs - Thanks Japs, I believe an open forum will be a big help in resolving conflicts among YAPpers and problems in the Pinoy Yahoo! Answers community. I will not deny the fact that not all clones and trolls have been reported or apprehended, and it's not because they ar allowed to do that, it's just not an easy thing to patrol more than 145 million users. It's really up to all of us in the community to make a stand against cloning and trolling and to have an open mind to resolve conflicts and start making positive connections here in Answers. It's not going to be easy but it's not impossible either. @deb - Excited na rin ako sa Christmas party Deb, more info to follow soon! :) @Battgirl - Sometime it just takes a really few people to create a really bad impression on the whole community. That's why I'm saying it's up to all of us to try to stop bad behavior in our community (cloning, trolling, spamming), start being vigilant in reporting them, and be more considerate and responsible in our words and actions. @dessie - Misunderstandings and misbehaviors can happen in any community Dessie, but like I've been saying, they can be resolved and can be fixed. It may take time and a lot of effort, especially for everyone in the Pinoy community, but it's possible. :) @Cutiekel - I agree Cutiekel, Answers is really supposed to be a fun, enjoyable and informative place online. And by stopping clones, trolls and spammers we ensure that it stays that way. @annabelle p - If you suspect anyone of trolling or cloning, feel free to tell me annabelle. What I can do to help everyone is to check if there's enough evidence that they may be clones or trolls and if they are, I can immediately report them to customer care. But if they're not, I won't do anything to these accounts. @sondra nakamura – I agree Sondra, and that’s my point in the blog post.

While it is true that I have knowledge of the presence of clones, I have no evidence to show as to which or what trolls belong to who or whom. I do not wait for anyone to take this matter up with Y!A if I only have a list of the accounts and their trolls. I don't care whether such list includes friends inside YAP. He wants to clean YAP. I, too, want it cleaned of clones but not in the manner he does it, bringing dirty linen out in the public and abetting in-fighting. What good will that bring him? Will that help find solution to the problem? Of course not! It only helps to exacerbate the situation.

YAP is supposed to be fun, a stress reliever on your daily workload. And to read accusations hurled at just about anyone, I don't see any fun in there.

I do hope Yahoo Answers can resolve this conflict soon. Not only does it not promote Yahoo Answers as a fun community, it reflects a poor image of Filipinos in the eyes of the non-Pinoy users of Yahoo Answers.
