Answers:
According to the TOCs (terms & conditions) no one under 13 is supposed to be on here anyway!. There should certainly be different sections to sign in to maybe!.
The only two real problems with this is
1) How to police it - unfortunately there are several pedophiles on this site
2) There are those teenagers who unfortunately see they have no choice but to come here & ask adults for advice - due to their parents or abuse!. They feel like they have no one else to ask & at least here they can be anonymous!.
Maybe it's something you might like to bring up in the forum!?
You're most likely to get a response from a Yahoo employee that way!.
EDIT: Here's a link from the forum 4 months ago - a question about there being separate sections
http://suggestions!.yahoo!.com/detail/!?pro!.!.!.
It's still open for comment & the most recently commented ones always show up on the first page, so if you leave one, it will be there for others to see straight away!. Basically Yahoo said they are reviewing it - supposedly!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I have a 14 yr old male in my home!.!.!.he will be 15 in Dec!.!.!.more mature than many his age and quite world wise even now!. There is no way in HELL I would let him on this sight without me being present! I show a side of myself here that my son does not need to see!. And I know what type of things we talk about here in P & S!.!.!.not ALL is inappropriate for young ones!.!.!.but MOST is!. Some of the other areas of Y!A are not quite as bad!.!.!.but come on! Do we REALLY need the " wee ones " in P & S!? Not to mention, like Scooby D said, the access to 360!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Technically, no one under 13 is supposed to be on here!. And yet I see all kinds of them proudly saying they are 12 and under!.!.and nothing is done about it!.
And I am talking chronological, not maturity levels!.
I saw one answer today where the girl told the asker "I hope you die of a heart attack tonight!." All because she is too young to understand sarcasm!. That is just wrong in so many ways!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

how is the computer to know its not a child!?
do we all have to check in with adult check verifying services!?
!.!.!.!. the same ones that are used in the online porn industry!?
!.!.!.!.!. the same ones that require a credit card!?
I refuse credit cards
and
I refused Real Player (for example)
in the past they did this to me too (I was about 26 then)!. in order to watch a movie or clip that was considered rated R by them !.!.!.!. I had to give them my credit card info!.!.!.!.!.to verify my age
never used them since!.
I DO NOT NEED A CREDIT CARD AND PAY INTEREST OR MONTHLY FEES TO A THIRD (or fourth) PARTY SO I CAN SURF A "FREE" WORLD WIDE WEB
I do understand where you're coming from but there's MUCH more to it!.

I agree that the parents should be more involved!. the internet is the new TV babysitter and most of the time parents aren't there!. unfortunately for others, the internet works two ways, not like the TV
I do also feel if they're smart and able enough to create their own account and even hide it from their parents in extreme cases, then they should be allowed to "get online"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hell NO!!.!.!. There are not any forums in Y!A for anyone under the age of 13 and I believe that a young teen needs supervision on the net regardless!. This forum has access to 360 which!.!.!.!.!. well look at mine for instance!.!.!.weed, oh and produce! a nice flirty hello from a friend maybe but links to the depths!.!.!.!. Parents have to watch their kiddies and merely assume that Y!A is 360!.

I dont like it either but i really dont see yahoo hiring the manpower required to check it or monitor every login and parental code!. It would be just like trying to lock cable, i always figured it out eventually!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
no, minors shouldn't be allowed,
they do have their own place, but the YA's team doesn't keep good track of minors, that bad thing is minors lie about their age, and work on over hereWww@Enter-QA@Com

They should not be on here at all, but what can we do!? Yahoo is not fun like it use to be, not with all the reporting and having to search high and low for one decent question to answer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
