Mar 7, 2018 at 21:42 comment added Servy @jpmc26 Sure, but that wasn't the case in the particular meta question you linked. If it was, rather than that meta question asking a very clear and well defined question, I suspect you'd have gotten a somewhat different reaction.

Mar 7, 2018 at 21:34 comment added jpmc26 @Richard That isn't so clear cut when the "question" is really a statement of a potential problem that the site may face with implementing a policy being discussed.
Mar 7, 2018 at 21:16 comment added Servy Note that on meta, unlike on main, a "question" doesn't even need to ask a question (either literally or implied). That said, when the meta question is actually asking a question, you probably should be answering it, or trying to at least.
Mar 7, 2018 at 21:12 comment added Richard Perhaps the best yardstick is that if you have a new question, you should ask it... as a new question.
