Should Yahoo have more catagories just for teens & other age groups?
I'm new to this Q & A board but it seems to me we need a break-out by age group, especially in the family and dating catagories.
Preteens (13 and under) have vastly different questions than 14 - 17 year olds.
The 20's to 30's group wouldn't likely be interested in the problems of 55 plus folks.
And could we have a catagory only for those people who insist on broadcasting intimate personal questions that wouldn't be fit for printing in a newspaper, since Yahoo seems unable to filter most of them?
Just my thoughts, but I'd love to hear yours. It's a good board but drowning in junk.
Thanks!

Teens should definitely have a dedicated section to themselves, not because I think they should be segregated but because generally speaking, Answers is a bit of a cesspool and it moves further and further away from it's initial purpose everyday and I think it is inappropriate for young kids.
Yahoo will never get this right though. They could clean this place up in a heartbeat but there are so many trolls and idiots using it, that to eliminate them would leave them with a total user base of about 100,000 worldwide.
