Yahoo! Answers Update: Level 1 URLs
The Yahoo! Answers team is excited to announce a small but significant change to the site. As of today, any URLs posted by Level 1 Answers members will not be linked.
It may seem like a trivial change, but it is an important step to limit spam on Answers. The site has used a points and levels system since its inception, which aims to promote activity and trust. By linking URLs only from community members who are Level 2 and above, we reward and protect our core contributors. The removal of linking applies to any URL that begins with http:// (URLs that begin with www have never been linked, regardless of a user’s level). We understand that removing linking from Level 1 members’ URLs is not a complete or perfect solution, and we also realize that long URLs are being truncated, but we are working on further updates to improve this. We’ve taken this action in response to clear feedback from the Answers community. Rest assured that this is just one of a number of initiatives we are implementing to limit spam on Answers. We hope it’s a small step toward making Answers a better place. We welcome your feedback on this change. (source: http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/ar...-level-1-urls/ )

I really don't think it makes a difference for us. Either way, the staff at Yahoo Answers seems to delete almost any answer that contains a link -- even if the answer is detailed.

That will atleast limit some spam for sure,
But those spammers are already on Level 3-5 will still be doing it.
