Not much of an online activist, can anyone help?

Question

Do the moderators actually pay attention to complaints of the users?Last night a question (real or not I am unsure) was asked about incest. I found this disgusting in the first place but did some research. The LBGT category was offered as the first choice when the word "incest in family" was typed.

I got some great answers and support from other users in this room as well. Is there anything that can be done to make the moderators/directors make better filters on keywords so that the LBGT room is not the first offered for taboo topics.

I am not much of an activist so any help or ideas would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

(I ask this hear because the Yahoo Answers category didn't seem to care at all)

Answer 1

I think the problem is not with the filters; the reason the LBGT room is offered first is because people have posted there before about similar topics. Until that changes, the cycle will just continue.

What Yahoo! Answers really needs is an individual forum for sexuality. Right now, it either falls into Men or Women's Health (which is sometimes good, for heterosexual sexuality, but not so good for other topics, like questions about hetersosexual fantasises, etc.) or into the GLBT forum, which should definitely not be for anything but GLBT, though I'm happy to answer all questions.

If Yahoo! had an all-over sexuality section, one that could handle GLBT questions as well as straight, I think it would help tremendously.

Answer 2

I can't really help you, but I thought I'd show my support. I've been offended when questions have been posted here regarding incest or paedophilia; what you've just written explains a lot.

Answer 3

Wow. I am shocked. I would suggest anyone reading this question star it and encourage others to reply then start a letter writing campaign. Who knows, it might work.

Answer 4

I don't thnk Yahoo cares.
