Why has the Hockey forum become the dumping ground for non-Hockey questions ?

Question

Browsing the front page of the Hockey forum, few of the questions have anything to do with Hockey.

Answer 1

Its been like that for awhile...Homes picked it up last night that all the questions that have nothing to do with hockey have the "&" symbol in the question and for some reason they get dumped in our section.

Answer 2

The Hockey Forum?  I thought that was just a myth.

Answer 3

There are those who can't read, can't understand or just want to fill space with their dribble.  Hockey just doesn't carry the weight of some other sports even tho it is outstanding.  Hopefully they'll move to the tiddly winks group soon!

Answer 4

its getting rediculous

Answer 5

Ok...if Homes has found the "answer", will it be fixed?

*** and about those DD's Meri....proof is required. You may e-mail me with details.

Answer 6

I don't know...but it's plain sad.

I'm a sports fan,  I enjoy the other sports, but I am desperate for some Hockey talk.  

Seeing all the misplaced questions is simply frustrating.

Answer 7

I'm guessing someone in here pissed off the wrong person. One of the "powers that be" in the Yahoo! Answers community must have got there feathers ruffled by someone in here and this is there kinder garden type revenge.

Answer 8

It is getting quite annoying!

Answer 9

I know 1st hand that the forum is not only about hockey..A friend of mine called me up one day and told me I was famous and there was a blog about me on a particular hockey board or 2.  I will put it this way..I am a female with d b*****s who luvs hockey and sat behind my fav team @every game and was always on tv........

Answer 10

Yahoo's idea of a bad joke, probably. looking at the suggestions board for yahoo, it seems to just be the hockey section. The only link I can see is the ampersand...

Sorry to semi troll here, but I'll link again to my suggestion on the YA! boards... basically getting rid of the suggested category thing when you ask a question.

Answer 11

Not sure where you've been, man, but this has been going on for a while.  It seems it has to do with people using the '&' symbol, it is auto placing them in this catagory.  

Beer:  I don't think anybody is working on it.  I posted it uder "Help us improve Yahoo! Answers.Tell us what you think." on the bottom of the screen, but there is no administrator response.  BTW:  My mother would be SOOOOO freaking proud if my knockers gave me 15 minutes of fame.....*shakes head*

Answer 12

Joe has already told you about Homes finding out about the "&" problem...and yes, it's been like this for weeks sadly. I had asked earlier if there was magnetic attraction to us because we are just amazing people or because hockey is amazing lol
