| Aug 6, 2014 at 21:09 | comment | added | dbr | I don't see any logic in the argument - crap questions are crap questions. What's that got to do with excluding shopping questions specifically? I think you need to explain why you're saying one has anything to do with the other. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 18:21 | comment | added | Rob Moir | @TheCleaner sorry if I wasn't clear, I was posting in support of the 'no' from hopelessnoob. I'd have no problem with a close->migrate path to the new site should it take off, though given the pattern of bar-room lawyering we see from new posters who find their way to meta I do predict a bunch of "but I'm using open source (or whatever) so I'm too special to be migrated, you guys all suck because you don't want to pretend the world orbits around me" posts. | |

| Jul 24, 2014 at 15:33 | comment | added | TheCleaner | @RobM - sorry, I meant if we choose to not allow any, then when the softwarerecs gets out of beta that should be either a migration choice or they should be mentioned in the current close reason as something like "...you might consider asking over on SoftwareRecs instead." | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 15:21 | comment | added | Rob Moir | @TheCleaner I think people will be more annoyed to hear "we allow shopping questions" then see their question closed as (essentially) "except yours, it's crap" than they already are by the flat-out ban we have now | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:21 | comment | added | TheCleaner | If your last comment is the SF consensus, which is cool by me, then we should allow for a site migration close reason to that site once it actually comes out of beta. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:04 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | @TheCleaner That's far from the only problem with this type of question, though. Someone else seems to want this problem, so by all means, let's let them have it. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:02 | comment | added | TheCleaner | Hence the close reason bolded at the bottom I recommend. | |
