How many accounts do you need to get suspended before you get an IP ban?
What if you have loads of people using the same computer? How many account suspension does Yahoo allow before it bans your IP? Or does it just keep letting you make account after account?

Answer 1 :
I would guess 15
Answer 2 :
I doubt there's a limit because (a) Bans are to appease complaining yahooers (b) They want people to stay here to see advertising and (c) those mutherfockers who keep posting about escort services in india would have gotten an IP ban long ago.
Answer 3 :
If you get an account suspended it wont allow you to use that same email to create a new account. Which sucks because it's pretty easy to get suspended especially if your aren't used to talking slang alot. So I for example created a new email so my old one is same, so its good to keep the main one for just mail and a new one for Y!A.
Answer 4 :
Having multiple accounts isn't what's strictly against the rules, due to shared computers, What is against the rules is point-gaming--ie, creating several accounts, asking questions with one, answering with the other, and then selecting your own answer as best. If you're caught doing this, the accounts will be suspended, but you will be able to create a new account on the same computer. Yahoo doesn't have a policy of banning IPs, though of course they have the ability to do so. My guess would be that severe abuse, such as extreme hate speech or violent threats, would be the type of thing that would actually get an IP ban.
