How to flag the trolls?
Trolls are older guys who pretend to be young girls and guys - or guys who just bring up sex topics just to get off. You can tell by the way they write that they are not 13f for example. And, some of the questions are ridiculous and just want to get people to talk to them about sex. It is clear the trolls/perverts are here. How can we flag the trolls without answering their questions and giving them control over our answer?

Use the 'Report Abuse' link on the left, under Miscellaneous if you see something that you find concerning.
There is no way to make any system 100% free of abuse. The closest we can get is to report anything that looks off, so the moderators can dig deeper and remove the content that needs to be removed. In my experience, they are pretty quick to respond once something is reported.

jilliane - If you feel strongly about the way the moderation is being handled on Advicenators you would probably be better served by dropping DangerNerd a question or an e-mail, then by posting it to the pool. He owns and operates the site.
Specific examples of questions you feel should not have been posted would probably be the most helpful as well. I can think of some questions over the past few days that might have raised the alarm in your mind, however, I am generally quite pleased with the level of moderation on this site. I work with teenagers every day and they are not children. They are engaged in sexually explicit dialogue and activities, as unbelievable as it sometimes is! I believe that the best approach not to censor, but to take very them very seriously when they ask questions (even if they don't ask them in serious ways).
My understanding is, that when there is unclear if a question is trolling, or is genuine, the moderators error on the side of assuming that it is genuine, and that despite the immaturity or vulgarity of language, that there is a person who is need of real help.
I think this is an important important assumption to make, on a site for teens (not children, since users who identify, or are identified as being under 13 are removed immediately regardless of the nature of their question) to assume our users are in need of help unless, or until, it becomes clear that they are not and allow that help to happen as best as we can.
Again, nothing can really be decided expect on a case-by-case basis, so file an abuse report if there is a particular question, or user, that is worrying you, and I would take any more indepth questions about moderation to DangerNerd.

end the conversation... say i gotta go my bf just walked in or my mom wants to get on the puter... plus you can block them from seeing your s/n. you never have to answer a quetion you dont feel comfortable answering. you could just tell the guy that you are uncomfortable with the question call him a perve and say leave me be. if that doesnt work threaten to turn him as a sex offender... its a little dramatic but he should get the point
