Do you think there should be a yahoo answers tutor? What should this tutor help people with?

Question

To help people word their questions properly to get more people to answer. To help word questions so people can understand them (thats what I need)

To categorise questions properly ....A friend I know has great categorising skills :) Everything ends up all over the place heh

Maybe give people some conversational skills, instead of getting angry on here, teach them how to approach things differently.

What else could the tutor teach?

Rusty - I love your answer! The way you spell tutor.

Answer 1

if you need a turtor for this you should throw your computer away

Answer 2

That would be a good idea. Maybe someone who could teach people to stop posting in text message language, help categorise answers instead of posters putting them all over the place. There would also be the need for some sort of moderators just to check on people from time to time.

Answer 3

I would stick to grammar and punctuation as well as conversational skills with an emphasis on substance and overall relevance. I simply would prefer NOT to know that some kid out there thinks that there's something wrong with her because she hasn't had sex yet. Or, some ignoramus asking how long he should keep bin Laden in his bedroom closet.


But then again, I guess that's the beauty of the internet. A person can act as foolish as they would like and still remain anonymous. Pity.

Answer 4

Go to the community guidelines, they tell you about appropriate responses and categorization. You can also get Yahoo help by going to the upper right hand corner and pressing the word 'help'. They are very good with the FAQ about Yahoo Answers. Besides that, people would STILL ask questions instead of looking it up themselves. Kinda goes with the territory.

Answer 5

Spelling, punctuation, grammar and the community guidelines. I wish people would realize the potential harm caused by answering relationship questions when they don't have the emotional maturity or life experiences necessary for a well thought out response.

Answer 6

How to choose a correct category for your answer. How to use spell check!

Answer 7

All those things plus teach people about how their bodies work. I've sure seen a lot of questions about "am I pregnant?" or "can you get/not get pregnant by?".

Scary....

Answer 8

Answer 9

yes, how to use spellcheck.

Answer 10

SPELLING!
