Yahoo! Answers Singapore Update
The Yahoo! Answers Team are excited to announce a small but significant change to the site. As of today, any links posted by Level 1 Answers users will not be hyperlinked.
It may seem like a trivial change but it is an important step to limit the impact of spam on Answers. The site has had a points and levels system since it’s inception, which aims to promote activity and trust. Only hyperlinking http URLs from users who are Level 2 and above is a new way to reward an protect our core contributors.
The lack of hyperlinking applies to any link that begins http:// – links that are posted that begin www. are already not hyperlinked for all users regardless of level. We appreciate that removing hyperlinking for level 1 users is not a final or a perfect solution. For example long URLs are currently being truncated but we are working on further updates to improve this.
We’ve taken this action in response to clear user feedback, from you the Answers community. And rest assured that this is just one of a number of initiatives we are implementing to limit the impact of spam on Answers. We hope it’s a small step towards making Answers a better place. We’d welcome your feedback this change.

Fantastic move.
The many spammy links are rather annoying and distracting
i cannot on my laptop. everytime i press the power button, it will either do noting or on. If it on, it is momentary. after about 5 sec, it will shut down again, what should i do?
P.S:Sometimes, i can on the computer but if i shut down will be normal……success rate of turning on:5%
What is hyperlinking and how it fit into Level1? I know the very limited movement of Level 1 and some just refuse to move up ….WHY? There must be a reason? What is it?
