Personally I started having real problems starting at the beginning of the year. The porn bots and booters were always there so I never considered them to be a problem. I use YahElite to chat so most of the garbage is filtered out anyway. My big complaint is with not being able to get into a chat room at all. When I go to sign in there is usually an extremely long wait (around 5 minutes) and then I get an error message. As I said before, porn bots are one thing but this problem makes the system completely unusable.
From my own experience I have noticed the problem being slowly resolved in the past week. I am now able to get into most rooms but not as easily as say a year ago. I would like to know if my observations are unique or others have had similar results. It would be nice to know that Yahoo! is finally working on their problems.
