I've recently picked up a Y!A troll! What can I do to curtail the abuse?

8 of my last 20 answers and 4 of my last 5 questions have been trolled and come back with violations. I'm not sure which of my contacts it is, but I am fairly sure of which ones it is not. So, I dropped all of them except those few. I also blocked my Q&A's from all users except those in my list. Anything else I should do?
The robots that work at Y!A, surprisingly, never respond. I've had accounts before so I am familiar with this type of trolling abuse. I have violated no guidelines. Anyone with some actual experience that could help me?
 
Since it takes two or more members reporting your questions and answers I doubt you have a troll. Otherwise you would win on appeal and the reporters would be penalized the 10 points. Maybe you should ensure your Q & A abide by the guidelines.
 
i guess you can email Y!A and let them know whats going on. They have a "contact us" link and when you get a violation there should be a link in the email saying "If you think this is wrong...." click it. It should take you to an email.
 
i doubt there's much more you can do.
i've had the problem, although not as seriously.
only had questions deleted, not answers.

and y/a is no help.
on the last one, i didn't even get a reply, never mind having the question reinstated.

sorry.
 
Avoid pages with confrontational subjects such as religion they often attract trollsl.
