From the article: Discover New Friends with Yahoo! Chat
While Yahoo! Chat is America's most popular chat community, there is often a lot left to be desired. From bots promoting porn sites to tweens working their hardest to rub elbows with adults in romance chat rooms, Yahoo! Chat offers many a reason to be the chat we love to loathe.
Why Do You Hate Yahoo! Chat? Rip into Yahoo! here and who knows, maybe they might take notice of your complaint! Weigh in On The Worst Now
RE: Stalking
- The environment of a chatroom encourages the behavior that Michelle mentions. Yahoo chat will never be a place to get serious conversation. The solution is a message board or forum, which are well moderated and chatroom antics are not tolerated. So if you hate these things a chatroom is the wrong place for you. Yahoo chatroom will never provide the user-protection that you will find on a message board.

Hookups
- I get sick of going to the chat rooms only to get hit on by 20 different men in less than 30 minutes wanting to know my age, location, do I have a webcam and can I share pics? WTF does it matter what people look like when all I want is some friendly conversation and to pass the time. Friggin pervs!
