should yahoo questions and answers be divided in to two? for those above 18 years old and those below 18 yrs?

A DAMN GOOD QUESTION!  And a solution to prevent alot of problems!  I wish I asked that!!

Because the one is more obviously associated with potentially offensive content, and Yahoo can't risk a lawsuit by an overprotecive parent (the service is supposed to be age 13+ ).  Of course, I'd be surprised if there's a 13-year old that doesn't use that word from time to time, but that's the censored world we live in now.

I don't think that minors should be ban from using yahoo answers because it is a place that kids can go to ask questions when they don't feel they can ask their parents, or someone else, or if they are unsure of their parents answers. Plus, there is no REAL way to tell the true age of the person on the other end of the computer! Anyone can lie and say they are 18. It is better to let them feel free to tell their age so MOST people will take note of the age of the person they are responding to or getting answers from. What we really need is for PARENTS to watch what their kids are doing on the internet. A child should not be free to run the net however they want! It's a dangerous world out there, and children need guidence. Maybe if they come on here asking questions some adults here can help them where their parents MIGHT not. And answers are posted so it's pretty safe, if anyone is trying to do anything to a child it would be reported imediatly!

I love milky419's answer!  hahaha...  Yeah, it does appear that may be so a lot of the time!  LOL! \n\nFor the record, I'm 37 (will be 38 in the spring).\n\nI must admit, I'm surprised to be one of the younger ones to have responded so far!  (Again, going back to some of the Q&A's posted at times! haha..)\n\nHopefully, things will settle down and we will begin getting more quality questions and answers - from ALL age groups!

i completely agree with you, there needs to be a block on content on here. i mean, minors still have the right to ask questions on this topic, but they should have their own category

I completely agree!! It feels like parental control. I agree that they have the right to limit content, but who cares if you answer 40 questions, or 100 questions a day?

How do you compensate when most of the questions are equally as ridiculous?  \nIt should have age related categories, or be divided into age period groups.  I feel too old for most of these questions that MUST be from a 14 year old.

I too find the range of avatars rather inadequate, using this one you see on the left since I started Y/A until now without giving any thought to it. Are they kids? Apart from their avatars, you also can figure out from the ways they word their answers to your questions. Adios.

I agree that there would me many benefits to having multiple versions of this site, triaged by age. Please tell the Yahoo! Answers people I say so.  I'm certain that my support will carry the day for you. ;-)

I think it's great, I'm 52 and learn something all the time here, it seems to be a wide mix of age groups, with that you can just about get anything answered. I'm not that good at computers and these computer whiz guys can answer any question, you throw at them.The only thing that bothers me is the very young, you don't know the person's age, that's asking the question, so you don't know how to answer it, esp. if it's related to sex. The other is spelling, we all make mistakes and not all good spellers, but there's spell check, it's like they don't even look at what they asked, because when it comes out "u can et ur tims, but whts is coss" your going  WHAT are they asking.

Yeah you can post here if you do it right.  But maybe they should make an 18 plus part of this for people who want adult question type answers.

no i don't think so...if it was, then it would be blocked from youngsters under 18 buti have seen kids answer and as questions on here.

Yes, we certainly have kids asking questions, but that doesn not explain some questions that are asked. We so called adults fare no better!!! \n\nI agree with those who answered ahead of me, Parents need to take care of thier children & monitor thier activities over the net. Yahoo answers has too many questions that are not even fit for adults.

No problem whatsoever.  I agree with your premise and I agree with your question.  It is my understanding that, if this forum belongs to anyone, then it belongs to everyone.  It has an important element missing in many a chat room; that being a healthy discussion involving divergent opinions.  Who says there is only one correct answer?

Indeed, sometimes two or more answers are really good, offering two or more different views, which brings additional knowledge to the user. In such cases, I would definitely wish to give more than one best answer, because both have put in an effort which needs to be appreciated.
