You should choose a category based on the people you want to answer your question, rather than the difficulty of the question.

keep it short and keep it too closed questions. if you use open questions you are going to find it extremely difficult to collate your answers.

No, these questions would go where they fit, in the mythology and folklore section. There's only a separate section for religion because people would get offended if there weren't. Personally I would be back answering computer and internet questions without this section, most likely. That's where the first five hundered or so of my answers are. Did quite well there. In fact I'll likely go back there at some point anyway, stay there for a while, then come back here, rinse, repeat. They both interest me.

Here's the "official" scoop from one of the Yahoo! Answers team members as posted in the Forum.\n\n"What happened to the Polls and Surveys? "\n\nGuys, the Polls and Surveys category is a very experimental attempt to get a sense of people's interest in "poll"-type questions, and how they'd use the category if we created it. We were both surprised and pleased to see the use that it has gotten, even without promotion.\n\nHaving sampled how people actually would use it, we've pulled the category back into the garage while we do some additional work. We have a few questions for you. All of these assume that Polls and Surveys would be the only place on Answers where poll-type questions would be allowed in the future.\n\n--Do you think that we should have a defined place for poll-type questions, or should they be banned altogether?\n\n--Which would be the most convenient way to organize a Polls and Surveys category: (1) One single, giant Polls category; (2) Reproduce Answers' category structure within a Polls category, or (3) Polls subcategories for every category and subcategory in Answers?\n\n--Would you use a Polls and Surveys category yourself? Would you ask, answer, and/or browse?\n\n--Assuming that the range of poll-type questions is similar to what it is now, is "Polls and Surveys" a good name, or would you suggest another?\n\n\nBy the way, regardless of the Polls and Surveys category, we're working on much more detailed definitions of poll-type questions for the Community Guidelines. You'll see them in a future update.\n\n\n--Matt \n\n[Matt is a member of the Yahoo! Answers team and a co-moderator of the Forum]\n\nhttp://messages.next.yahoo.com/next/threadview?bn=SEA-YahooAnswers&tid=5734&mid=5819

What about a section for questions that seem to be asked often, that is, where people can look for a question...that they want to ask...frequently...\n\nWe could call it QAF. I think it might catch on.

How about "Are you for real"?  "Does your mother know where you are"? "Why aren't you sleeping insted of bothering people with dumb questions"? \n\n"Are you just waiting to get to level 5, so you can unload a endless stream of dumb questions"?  "Do you have a real life, or just fantasy about this webpage"?

Many of us notice this. The category "special education" seems to have a greater than average number of mis-categorized questions. Part of it is non-American visitors to this site, who do not understand that "special education" refers to students requiring individualized programming. They view it, from what it seems from many of the questions posted, as meaning "education relating to specialized skills." I've been busy using up my answers quota posting answers to these types of questions, repeatedly, about appropriate category labels.\nAnother group want specific information (academics, directory assistance, cultural/social skill questions), and don't seem to understand that there are "homework help" and "wordplay" categories under the Education heading, and field-specific categories elsewhere, for them to post under. Many of them are kids, who just grab whatever heading they happen to click on.\nFinally, there are jokesters who are posting stuff they see as "fun," but that usually just ends up being clutter for those of us browsing this category because we are serious about helping each other with our special needs students and family members.\n\nYou can either click on "report abuse" for every single one you see and report them for "Miscategorized," and/or you can answer them with "This belongs in a different category, not 'special education.'" rather than answering the question, even if you really do know a good answer.
