This meta question was closed as opinion based: Who do you like most on SFF.SE?

But, these meta questions are well received here:

The many avatars of SFF.SE

The many usernames of SFF:SE

Why?

    Because those are asking for personal explanations (if fluff), and yours is asking for personal opinions?

    "why did you pick your avatar/username?" is not an opinion, it's a personal anecdote. There'a a huge difference. Plus, your question is pretty clearly an attempt to place certain users "above" other users. That's not nice.

Because you were asking for opinions; you were asking the users for their opinions of other users.

The questions you compare yours two are not asking for opinions, but for explanations: were does a username or an avatar come from. While they are list questions, they're not opinion based.


Also, asking users to rate each other is not constructive.

    You might also want to mention the potential for hurt feelings (downvoting answers, for example) as well as the slightly odd wording "If you like me, I'll appreciate it, but I won't marry you." that could some across as slightly inappropriate.

  • @Randal'Thor, yeah well, I don't know what ID 10-T asked that, but the answer is obviously "yes". :)
