Writing Staff Reports

Are you upset by miscategorized questions? Post SOLUTIONS here as a suggestion list to the Yahoo staff.?

I am someone who loves this kind of forum, but am interested in only a couple of topics. I am very tired of weeding through 20 q's unrelated to the topic to get to the couple that are about my interest.

I have made reports under the "abuse" link, and the Q's are still there months later. I have been posting messages about what the category means in each miscategorized question. I have sent a couple of feedback emails to Yahoo.

The Yahoo staff needs to become aware of how many serious participants are tired of this. I'm thinking the best way may be to have people send possible solutions. The "Tell us what you think" link is at the bottom of your page.

Here are possibilities:
-If a Q is reported as miscategorized by 5 different people at level of 5 (or 6) or above, automatically delete. A Yahoo staffer need only get involved in the Q writer appeals.
-After writing a Q, an page comes up showing the person's Q, and prompting for review of Q with a definition of the topic.


Even though my level is only at 2, i think this is a good suggestion, however to delete the question may not be fair, instead send a report to the Q, writer with the recommendation of what category it should be in. Also yahoo answerer's could offer a new section to post question, like a what topic should i put this under section, for people who just cant decide where to post there questions as an alternative to a negative action, create something positive instead! The point rating for a "what topic is my question" section should be low about 2 or 3 points maybe even zero, and keep the same reward for answering the question.
Since they should not get a solution to there question just where they should post it for best results, and maybe allow them to pick the best answer in a shorter time period in this section only, say 10 min to 30 min, to encourage the use and make people answer in a more serious fashion.
Just a thought!
