Why do some people with crossword clue requests post them under Quizzes & Puzzles when there is a specific Crosswords section?

It is one thing that does puzzle me!

could be a couple of reasons. Maybe they dont know there is separate crossword section, or, they want clue to be seen by anyone who is answering quizzes and puzzles.
Lazy. or don't notice I guess. it happens in other categories too, people tedn to post it in the main heading rather than the more accruate sub headings.
At least people are now beginning to follow the Ed's guidelines for asking crossword clues: http://www.theanswerb...r-crossword-question/
This has been debated for as long as I've been a member...

I rarely post a crossword clue but I think i'd probably put it in the main Q&P category because I think that is the one most fans of quizzes, puzzles and crosswords go to. If all crosswords went into Crosswords i think that there would be very little in the main Q&P category.
It's the same with Law (should normally either be Criminal or Civil), Media and TV, ( should go under radio or TV), Business and Finance (should be Business or Personal Finance).

Does it cause a problem? I know Q&P tends to get full of crossword questions at weekends, so maybe what we really need is a separate subsection for Quizzes or Ditloids
Mark- do you think there has been an improvement regarding crossword clues since the guidelines were made more visible. I suppose we don't know how many more people used the AB search facility and avoided posting a previously answered question but I didn't notice an improvement in the accuracy of clues or provision of details of clues and letters.
cant see a problem if clues go in Q&P or Crosswords,provided the source,i.e. Newspaper,is used as a heading.
When I click on to Answer Bank the first item
to appear is Quizzes and Puzzles
Perhaps that is the reason as one notices
