This should be a Suggestion not a Bug/Complaint.

It's actually both, but I decided to stick it into the complaint section as it seemed more fitting. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that has been getting irritated with seeing unnecessary categories being added into the lists for some of the game sections on this site, and it's more of a complaint on my part since others might not be irritated with it.

Not sure if hiding/removing them is the right approach, since sometimes there are legitimate categories added. I do agree though, that something needs to be done. I'm trashing at least 10 random/spam categories every day -- I'm getting tired of it. :(

Hence my suggestion of having them either hidden or removed. However, you pose a good reasoning. There are SOME categories added that are actually needed, but more often than not they are just random/spam categories. Hiding or removing the button might not seem like the right approach, but the only other option I can think of is to make it so that the moderation team has to look through and verify/trash each category before it appears on the category list for each section. And that just seems like a hassle.
