So many people have complained about Error 999 (I often can not get to my email for hours.) that Yahoo should do something about it! But it seems that they do not care.
Only when people begin to discontinue using Yahoo and switching to other email providers that Yahoo will finally get the message — their advertising dollars.
I for one no longer recommend Yahoo to friends and others. I am shopping around for another email provider. Any suggestions?

Listen people– Error 999 is in fact a BAN, sometimes automated, sometimes not. There are a variety of reasons you might get this. Certain links and words will get you banned. If a moderator sees your content and doesn’t like your viewpoint, they will ban you with 999. It is usually temporary. There is no way other than waiting that I know of to fix it. For example, I used an offensive picture on Yahoo Answers earlier and I have a 999 ban now. It goes by IP.

I had this problem,last week,did all your letter/response said to,and finally it seem to have been rectified,as it was not on my end of things. Now yesterday,it is starting all over again, Please rectify this problem,as it is very wrong and very disruptive,I do not want to good through this anymore,it is a shame,as I am a level 7 contributor,and have helped many people,and just cannot tolerate this anymore,makes no sense either and just takes the joy out of yahoo answers,and takes from those who need advice as well. Please fix this problem,as i FIND IT VERY SUSPICIOUS at this point it’s now reccurring again. When reported you just get the same generated letter over and over,even though you repeatedly tell them you have done all in that letter,still it is not addressed or fixed.

I can almost guarantee an “error 999″ if I post any comments on yahoo news articles that are critical of right-wing, for example: FAUX News, Bush Administration, current wars.

I thought it was a fluke at first. But I started paying closer attention to my activity and it seems there is a connection. The denial of service can last for extended periods. IF you go into your profile and delete posted comments, the error 999 vanishes more quickly.

I was trying to create a new Yahoo! account after creating alot of Yahoo accounts already. Is this a temporary issue? Or will I really be BANNED?s
