Despite reaching consensus, I don't think we've defined a course of action to take besides that open-ended puzzles should be considered off-topic, and even that doesn't provide any guidelines on what to do. | |

| Apr 26, 2019 at 1:24 | comment | added | Mr Pie | Huh, the user that gave the only upvote to your question — that was me! Boy, do I feel a little warmhearted, considering that four other users downvoted... but I do believe you are right: open-ended questions are too broad, and questions that are too broad are unfitting, thus so are open-ended questions. Yes, some open-ended questions are popular, but when the third most popular open-ended question is closed, this is saying something. | |

| Apr 20, 2019 at 21:46 | comment | added | Prince North Læraðr | I think the tag should just be reworded instead of gotten rid of as a whole | |
| Apr 20, 2019 at 21:00 | comment | added | athin | Or should we just combine open-ended and optimization? | |
