Let's work together to make this a better forum!!!!?
I am calling on all people who give answers in particular fields, and who are tired of filtering through the sludge to get to something relating to the category they are browsing, to start answering the mis-categorized questions only with "This question does not belong in this category," even if you really do know a decent answer to it. Maybe if we start doing this, people will start paying attention to what they are doing when they ask their questions. After all, it costs 10 points to ask something.
I'm going to allow this to go to a vote for best answer, so more people read it and think about it.
Yes, I'm posting this in multiple forums to make a point about mis-posting stuff, and also to pinpoint the attention of those with good knowledge backgrounds in these areas regarding the number of mis-categorizations.
The subgroup I've seen hit the worst, so far, in mis-categorization, that I am aware of, is "Special Education." Very few of the questions have anything to do with working with students with non-traditional learning needs.

I agree!! 90% of these questions should be tossed...they don't belong in this forum.

Not a question and not in the right category. You have posted this at least twice. I am sorry this is so important to you but maybe you should let it go.

all very good points, i must agree w/you!
but, is it 10 pts to ask a question now? I thought it was bad enough when it was 5 pts???

Well... perhaps, if irrelevant answers could be penalized in the voting period, rather than even minimally rewarded it would help.
