What's with all the stupid questions in Cars and Transportation?

Relationships, first kiss, dates, the section is flooded with garbage that is so far from the category it renders it almost useless!

    They are attempting a takeover of Y/A. The only thing we can do is to report each and every one of these questions. It seems that Y/A is doing nothing about it.

    I thought the same thing. One question could be understood if someone put in the wrong category, but then saw at least 5 or 6 that were one after another and questioned why in insurance, registration vs family and/or relationships.

    I think that a bunch of kids, (all have different names) just sat down and all are bored, so are making up questions as they go along. They may have some kind of stupid contest to see who gets the most answers or dumbest answers.

    If enough people report abuse, might get them suspended and then they will have to start all over again with different names and/or accounts.

    I wonder about the stupid questions that seek answers that could be obtained by asking the relevant party, e.g., DMV, insurance company, etc.

    It's THOSE kinds of questions that make Answers probably one of the biggest mistakes made by Yahoo! Inc.

    It is because Y Answers auto categorizes them for you, and it is your responsibility to check and make sure your question is going to theright place. Most people don't.
