Is There Any Point In Having A Crossword Section?
50 Answers
Why do people keep posting crossword help requests in the quizzes and puzzles section?
If they used the crossword section it would make it easier for people to help them and it would avoid clogging the quiz one.
Not too difficult to understand surely?

Not much irks me and this doesn't either.
Yesterday I answered a crossword question in 'Food and Drink', should I have ignored or lectured the OP? Don't see the point.
If I see a Crossword PUZZLE posted in Quizzes and PUZZLES topic, it doesn't seem odd at all.
A regular and prolific poster has recently been posting his Chatterbank posts in Crosswords by mistake, I made a joke about it that's all.
A month or so ago, there was a post in CB to the tune of 'I hate weekends here, clogged up with crosswords, why doesn't someone post something interesting' - my simple reply wasn't talen too well there.
Ed has repeatedly pointed out that Q&P and related topics are a large part of this site - it is my belief that the site is big enough for all and patience is everything.

Speaking as someone who mostly answers crossword questions, I just pick them up from latest posts - very often I don't notice what section they are posted in until after I have answered.
Historically, they (crosswords and Q&P) used to be all in one section. Then an editor decided to make crosswords a subsection of Q&P.
Most users were against this as by far the greater number of questions are crossword related, so they continued to post and answer crosswords in Q&P.
More recently crosswords have had their own section, but there is still a hangover from the past and the two are seen as interchangeable.
I can't see any of this as a huge problem...
