Until they come up with a permanent fix, they should devise something temporary to bring our rankings back. Seems like they could determine which url was indexed first and assume it is the original one. Rank it higher. There is no excuse for new urls that redirect to my site ranking higher than the real/original url which has been indexed in Yahoo for years.

Here's an idea: if there are duplicate-content url's and one of them is listed in the Yahoo Directory, then allow only the one that is in the yahoo directory to show in the serps. Penalize the others. It seems silly that my site's rankings have plummeted, while redirects rise to the top. My site is listed in the directory and those url's are not.
