    I would make it so you can not report abuse until you reach a certain level maybe 3 or even 4 because then they would know it wasnt coming from some troll account that was created just to mess with people with high point levels like they do in the politics section.

  • This playpen is a pretty good one. The points don't make any sense to me, but the opportunity to get real answers to real questions is available, if you have the patience.

    I'd change the service to ask participants to list their age and or grade in school and develop a program that would funnel cyberspeak into one area and proper English into another.

    I'm interested in responding to real problems that adults may come up with, from personal to intellectual. Many of the kids who post in this forum never list their age or grade, making a response difficult. And, some of the questions that may be very important to an adolescent are pretty fundamental to me.

    Can Yahoo discriminate by age and/or proper English?

    1: I would remove the whole thumbs up/down option. It serves no purpose whatsoever, because if you rub someone the wrong way, they will always give all of your answers and questions a thumbs down regardless of what it is.

    2: I would not delete questions or answers unless they were vulgar, had cuss words, or insulted other people. My friend posted a fun question about a website that let you analyze what your name meant and Yahoo deleted her question and fined her 10 points. She posted it again the next day, and they deleted it again and again fined her 10 more points.

    Other than that, I don't see much else to change.
