Making a suggestion for Y! Answers?

Is there anywhere I could send a suggestion to the editors or someone of yahoo answers?

I'd like to suggest that they add a box in the answers for when you edit you answer to a question. I'd like this space that you can put a reason for the edit, like you could type "Typo" or "Adding on" and such. I feel like when you edit an answer you lose credibility, because people don't know what you edited for, and others may think that you're taking parts from their answer. Anywhere I could send that to an upper board place? Thanks.

    You will probably get quicker notice by using the Send Feedback hyperlink toward the bottom of the page to send your suggestion directly to Customer Care. What usually happens on the Suggestion Board is the Yahoo staff can conveniently ignore any and all threads until they devolve into completely off topic threads with trolls sniping back and forth at each other so that the staff finally just deletes the entire thread. IF you put this on main suggestion board, you'll will need to keep bumping it to the top until Yahoo staff finally takes a look at it and posts a non-committal response. That's why directly sending your suggestion (feedback) to Customer Care is DIRECT to Customer Care, without all the distractions from the peanut gallery trying to get the spotlight of the thread focused onto THEM and NOT the suggestion.
