| Jun 9, 2013 at 12:46 | comment | added | iKlsR | @YuAsakusa its been nearly 3 weeks already, much of this list was contributed to by several users based on actual questions we saw that didn't fit in the scope of what this site is or should be about. If we don't lay the foundation from now, what will happen when new users start running amok asking about scifi films and making games? This is not a forum per say and since most people are used to forum style discussions, it is a good idea to get this information out as quickly as possible and as grc points out, we will need a FAQ eventually. | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 14:35 | comment | added | Yu Asakusa | @grc: FAQ stands for frequently asked questions. If the site does not receive any off-topic questions during the public beta, we do not need the list of off-topic questions as FAQ. But that will not happen in reality, so do not worry. | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 14:34 | comment | added | Yu Asakusa | @grc: Because we cannot imagine what will be asked. If you want to ask something and wonder whether it is on-topic or off-topic, it is useful to discuss it. But if you just imagine someone might ask it, leave the decision until the problem becomes real, because whether it is on-topic or off-topic depends on the details of the actual question which we cannot imagine now. | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 14:26 | comment | added | grc | A list of off-topic questions needs to be created for the FAQ. Discussion usually begins as early as the definition phase of Area 51. I don't see why we should wait for bad questions to be asked. | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 14:11 | comment | added | Yu Asakusa | @grc: It is fine to ask “Is a question like this [something concrete] on-topic or off-topic?” as long as you can reasonably expect someone will ask it. Asking for a list of “definitely off-topic” questions is different from that. | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 14:06 | comment | added | grc | With regard to the last point, I think it is important to establish the boundaries of the site early. | |
