    It would be nice if people actually would take the time to make proper questions:there are way too many bull questions on here and that goes for the answers as well.

    To answer a question with just one word should not be allowed

    And to answer a question with a link that leads you to a site that sells stuff and has nothing to do with the question at all should be thrown out.

    There are a few people who answer each question with that link.I think that their account should be terminated.

    And the thumbing down should be taken out:if you don't like an answer:so be it.

    But to reward a good answer should stay.

    And there are way to many people with more then one account:that should be made impossible

    And there should be an adult section in the health department.

    Now you see answers from inexperienced teenagers that make no sense at all

    And I can go on forever with things that I would change:but this is more then enough for now.

    Have a good day.

    One thing? thats all? Just one? LOL

    I'll say limit spammers. Yahoo has a 999 error(you've probably gotten it a few times) if you try to do too many repeated actions in succession. If you go and vote 'no best answer' on questions in voting, you will get the 999 error and won't be able to vote for a few hours until it is cleared up. If you go the yahoo suggestion forum and try to delete your comments too many times, you will get the 999 error and won't be able to do that for a few hours. If yahoo could somehow incorporate this for spammers and 999 them, it would drastically cut down on the spam here. If yahoo could recognize a user pasting the same link into all of their answers, yahoo could 999 them and prevent them from answering for a few hours.

    The powers that be need to actually read the questions and the answers before they take down your answers when you are reported.

    when you win the appeal, they should take points away from the person that reports you.

    thats just how the world should be. Idiots die off and the strong goes on.

    Yes.

    I'd make it for over 18's only, so we wouldn't get reported by the humourless tweens with no imagination, and an obsession with the Disney Drivel.

    I'd also get rid of people who keep begging for points by asking for stars.

    Your parents must be so proud of your achievements.

    There should be separate section for Sex, so that sex-obsessed users will not have to be in other sections with weired questions/answers about it. You see 'Health', Family', 'Friendship section', Entertainment and Music' etc. and you will know what I mean.
