Its not just the Senior citizens category that is going downhill, its many other categories as well.The constant changes to the format and the fact that trolls are not dealt with promptly and also many genuine members resent this ability to post anonymously which has led to an increase in abuse.
Too many under age kids are on the sites and ask the same old questions.
To be honest I`m surprised that there are stlll ANY members left at all on some of the sections of Yahoo answers.
Having recently been the subject of dreadful abuse from a anonymous member I am not going to let the bast*ard intimidate me into not answering any questions, so I`m still here for now at least.
Hiding behind an anonymous profile all the time is just plain cowardly
If its for a good reason, like asking an embarrassing question then that's not so bad.

I think the only reason is because when one asks a question whether it's political, medical, or general, and want answers from senior citizens, some fool reroutes the question to a different category. I've asked questions specifying "senior citizens". after a couple of answers, I find my question in a different category. If I didn't want answers from SCs, I wouldn't have placed the question there in the first place. When they don't allow you to seek answers from whom you want , there is no point in asking....so I don't.

For me, personally, it has been the ability of "trusted" level 7 users to move questions to a different category willy nilly. Y/A insists that these level 7 users are, for the most part, responsible enough to decide unilaterally to override the actual questioner's decision as to where to place their questions. I rarely ask questions any more for this very reason. It used to be because of the stalkers with several accounts who would have innocuous questions and answers deleted, but I haven't noticed many deletions lately. Why delete them, when you can move them to some obscure category where no one will see them, at least the people to whom the question was directed in the first place?

Years ago, when Yahoo Answers was new, the site was quite popular because it was one of the biggest social chit-chat forums anywhere on the internet. And social connectivity is one of the very biggest reasons that most people like being on-line.
However, the Yahoo Answers management team has always been clueless about the real reason for the site's popularity. They have always foolishly insisted that people come to Yahoo Answers to gain "knowledge"--despite the well known fact that, as Wikipedia puts it: "poorly formed questions and inaccurate answers have made the site a target of ridicule." (Yahoo is also notoriously out of touch about the number of users who visit. In 2008, for instance, they made the outrageous claim that 15 million users visited the site every month, although objective and much more reliable web analysts said it was only 2 million.)
In any case, Yahoo Answers has certainly lost large numbers of visitors in recent years. (In the past five months, in America alone, over one and a half million users have gotten sick and tired of the site, and have apparently left for good.)
This is largely because other social media sites are gaining popularity at an exponential rate. People who formerly came to Yahoo Answers to fulfill their chit-chat needs now go to sites like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. Or they have their very own blogs.
And Yahoo contributes to its own demise by perversely making it more and more difficult for people who continue to use the site to express themselves freely. It is as if the site is run by a bunch of little old church-ladies. For instance, if you ever use a four-letter nickname for "Richard," or a five-letter baby-talk word for "cat," or the five-letter word for "black person" that the Pentagon has recently certified as proper usage for its African-American personnel, then Yahoo Answers will actually censor your posting.as "offensive." And if you express an opinion that Yahoo Answers considers "politically incorrect"--such as saying that the Israelis were wrong to murder over 2,000 peaceful civilians in Gaza, or that the lesbian couple in Oregon was wrong to sue the Christian cake decorator who refused to do their wedding cake, or that Michael Brown was not an "innocent child," but actually a violent criminal thug--then Yahoo Answers will likely suspend your account. For these reasons, many people have gotten fed up with Yahoo's bullying, and have gone elsewhere.

Yes I do have a theory, or maybe it should be called an observation. We are ALL aware of it here. The main two bugbears are the changes constantly being made by Yahoo. Older people don't like things, which are familiar to us, suddenly being changed - not once, but several times.
The other problem is TROLLS. Trolls infiltrate all categories I should think but we are probably easier targets because they have worked out what sort of things offend us. They are not content with just saying offensive things but they really enjoy reporting our contributions when there is nothing wrong with our entries. The trolls have realized that Yahoo is now so disorganized that they allow all reports to just go through and our challenges to them go unread.
Many have left because of these things and some of us have stayed in hopes of seeing change but, so far, we are seeing none. How long the S.C. section will last remains to be seen.

There exist several possible reasons, here are some:
1.) The changes over the past year. Ever since the update from September of last year, this site has gone from bad to worse. They used to allow users to see how many thumbs up they had & who gave their answer a good rating; that option is no longer available.
2.) Boredom, some folks get tired of the usual questions/Answer layout, they may take weeks, months, or even years of vacation from this site before returning.
3.) The increased number of trolls using this site. The false reporting and constant bullying/harassing bseems to have increased over the past year on this site.
4.) Some users have gotten suspended.
5.) a combination of the 4 mentioned or numerous other reasons.

I visit a few of the other categories and all of them seem to be losing participation. I can visit once a week and no new questions have been posted. I assume people have gotten fully fed up with Yahoo!Answers mucking about with the format and dong all these new protocols making it very difficult to use, allowing trolls to continue on, removing perfectly legitimate, logical clean questions, etc. Could be that Yahoo wants to get rid of this whole answer thing but doesn't want to face the wrath of so many users. And of course there probably are sections that I don't drop in on that are heavily active with stuff I couldn't care less about. Kind of sad, I used to really like visiting this section because most of the regulars had nice senses of humor, had things to say that related to lots of us, made it feel like visiting friends. Now most of them are gone (hopefully to better realities).

Yahoo Answers team have made 'improvements' that are rubbish.
Yahoo Answers are blind to criticism.
Yahoo Answers are going to 'improve your experience' regardless

Its the same way in other categories as well, and as you are probably well aware, there is a different "element" (for lack of a better word) here lately. I for one, had found another site when boredom set in. I am there now most of the time. This is the first week I have been back here since August.

I can only think that when we are effectively censored, by so called "peers", that eventually we lose interest in offering our opinions. When a less than popular answer will get you "violated" and eventually banned, there is a problem.
Immaturity is a growing problem. Who the hell cares about old fad level music, or memorabilia about fashion and style?? Why are we NOT clamoring for legislation to slow climate change? Why do we just accept the political parties continual efforts to reduce our benefits, and health care?
The entire site has become superfluous.

I was invited to Quora just over a year ago. Quora is for real intelligent people who like to discuss topics with other real (not hiding behind a false nickname and avatar) intelligent people. There are many categories.
People can have 'discussions' on Quora and your input WONT be suddenly reported by some anonymous person and disappear. Of course that does not mean you can be nasty, Quora is very well moderated by the people who work there.
Also if you advise people to use an anti-inflammatory diet plan for life because they rheumatoid arthritis, an overweight cream cake eating person can not just go and report and make your answer disappear because they want to eat cream cake and stay unhealthy. Infact other people will upvote your answer and provide recipes for anti-inflammatory meals in the comments boxes. So as you can see - it is only for emotional intelligent people who are not offended by someone suggesting that they have a bad diet.
Be prepared some people can be sarcastic on Quora - but it is used appropriately - to teach people a lesson. It's not for the faint hearted. There is definately more of a feeling 'of being with family' on Quora, someone there to gently guide you or another to give the proverbial 'swift kick up the @****'.
Topics include science, medical and health matters, nutrition, business management and leadership, philosophy, sports, writing, film production, marketing, advertising and graphic design, architecture, family relationships and so on.

Those that were old 10 years ago maybe have died so the next generation can not go back to pass remarks about the 30s,40s,and 50s. I am 86 and can remember the 30s but I am getting frail

I'm still here, but not a frequent as in the past. One thing about Yahoo Seniors site I will never understand is when they tell you that your question or answer is considered chat. What's wrong with doing that? It's a social media and that's why I come here.
2014-11-07 9:30 pm
There should be no Anonymous answers allowed to be posted.
The name they give themselves is anonymous enough. Yahoo
keeps changing the format (for the worse). Legitimate answers
are removed yet others who use gutter language stay on. One
person answers 3 times of one question with different avatars
but Yahoo somehow doesn't see these no-no's. I get frustrated
when it won't even post my answer. What good is points?

There are a number of reasons for this, but sometimes people just want to move on and leave behind stuff that can be annoying and degrading, like some of the answers that are on here.

Well here they are quitting to go and jump the fence.

I don't go on any of the categories as much as I used to. Nothing ever works right. The original format was fine; every change makes it worse. I can't even post a normal question anymore (the main question and then explanation underneath). I also have not appreciated being reported for innocent answers which obviously were not read by the powers-that-be, and having constant thumbs down when I make an accurate statement or present a well-known fact. If I said water was wet, I would get 5 thumbs down.
And it's not just me...I see this happening to everybody. The site has really gone downhill. I used to go on it every day; now it's more like every two weeks, and then not for long.

You cannot put all SCs in the same basket. Some questions I wonder why they are in the SC section. For example What should I buy my 64 year old aunt for her birthday. I suggested a bottle of wine, a voucher for a spa break or beauty treatment. The aunt is a woman. As a woman older than the aunt I don't see why this question was in the SC section.
2014-11-08 2:09 pm
Too many unneeded changes is my guess.
2014-11-08 6:20 am
Over the past several years, not just recently, not just within the past year, people have aged and initially moved on to different groups online (where you had to be asked to join up), or where users of the SC group got sick and left, and people have come and gone from this SC group because this is a "game" and not a blog so once they earned their points it was time to move on so they did. Yahoo has had several presidents come and go and the more recent decided to make changes but did ask first what people wanted changed, and changed things accordingly. The SC group was the hardest for me to ever get a "best" in so I left my comments and spent a lot more time in other categories. I always thought people in SC were more from America but this past year a lot more from the UK have joined us and we have different ways of thinking, different things we've all been thru, different food and recipes, and now it's super difficult to get any points at all in here so a lot of us spend our time in other categories. If Yahoo sees a problem with any of its programs, instead of making changes it deletes something totally and that's been most frustrating. The most recent thing is that they were telling me to upgrade my browser when I'm unable to do that, so that means not everything in YA works properly for me, like sometimes I had to wait 10 minutes before my answer will submit. YA being a game well questions from 7 years ago are being recycled. To me that means fewer people are in YA. But what else it means is that those questions being asked aren't asking for serious answers since they got their immediate answer 7 years ago, so YA is all about points. In the past in YA people used to give actual information and seriously want to help out a questioner, but these days with the repeated questions of old well any ole answer for 2 points will do. Perhaps if we wish to have a blog then maybe someone who knows technology could set one up for us, a place where we could go to help each other out.

Yahoo changes its forums too often.
2014-11-07 3:25 pm
My theory is people have simply left Yahoo!Answers. Every category that i visit has fewer posters and answerers. I attribute it to the changes Yahoo has made.
2014-11-09 6:16 am
yes, it's even changed since I've been on here. lots of trolls, which is really irritating. Like many others I use a screen name, but I am available if anyone wants to send a message. Although I have had to block a couple of people after receiving abusive comments.
I'm level 7, but have never moved any question to a different forum; I consider that is wrong.
I have no interest in getting BA, after all, it means nothing. I am just pleased that an answer I have given seems to help the person asking the question.
