Now if they could shut down Yahoo! Answers so that its useless Q/As stop showing up in Google results that would be perfect.

Google search has a built-in tool for filtering sites out of your results. I haven't seen an experts exchange result in years. Just remove answers from your search results.

... no it doesn't.
It once did, briefly. Lasted about six months if I recall correctly, then was deprecated.

They moved it into Personal Blocklist, a Chrome extension by Google. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...

Thanks. I'm surprised. Experts exchange hasn't come up since. Guess that was the only site I ever wanted to blacklist.

I've been seeing expertsexchange again. That's how I discovered the google blacklist had disappeared.
There was as chrome extension, but google removed it. Then it was built into google, and they removed that too.

No they shouldn't. They should revamp it, remove all the crap content / spam users. If they clean it out and start highlighting the good stuff that they have in there, Answers could be very useful.

Yahoo answers has been amazingly useful to me a number of times.

I just use a google extension to block those from my search result.

They should keep it as a honeypot for people that you don't want offering their advice through other channels. It's kind of like a quarantine right now, which is convenient.
