| Dec 14, 2016 at 18:45 | comment | added | orthocresol | @matt_black The more I browse the front page (and closehammer questions), the more I agree with what you say. | |
| Dec 14, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | orthocresol | Thank you for the comment, @Dmitry. I certainly see where you are coming from and I'll take it into consideration. This isn't meant to be a mod-team official proposal, but rather what I personally (as a user) felt. So, this is not necessarily at all representative of what we will eventually adopt. | |

It was a close reason on SO (aka "Too localized"), and proved to be widely abused, and sometimes aimed against experts who come with very specific problems (and you actually want such people on the site). | |
| Dec 13, 2016 at 8:50 | comment | added | matt_black | I broadly agree. But I wonder whether there is a simpler criterion which would weed out the really bad questions. I suspect that there are many questions that seek to find just an answer (usually to some exam question) but not any understanding of what reasoning produced that answer. We should automatically reject all what is the answer questions unless they are worded to seek a better insight into the understanding required to get the answer. This would weed out a lot of bad questions. | |
