Jun 28, 2018 at 13:36 comment added Chris Poole Yes, there's a definite spread in the Venn diagram of folks who use mainframes, and those familiar with the Stack* family of sites. Several of the questions I'd agree should not be there... a learning experience for those who are new to the sites and the type and phrasing of questions. (And that's from an IBMer working on mainframe tech, a submitter of a proposal years ago for mainframes, and a Stack* regular.)

Jun 22, 2018 at 8:36 comment added curiousdannii @SteveIves (1) No SE site allows completely open ended or opinion based questions - closing such questions on Area 51 is completely normal. (2) Area 51 is open to all, as the whole point of the proposal system to put it before as many eyes as possible in order to give each site the best chance it can have to succeed. (3) You would do well to stop assuming things about me. What could possibly have ever made you think I have no interest in the site?
Jun 22, 2018 at 7:41 comment added Steve Ives @curiousdannii As is pointed out further down, each site is allowed to set it’s own rules on what is/is not deemed a good question. Why not let this proposal - in which you have no interest at all - go ahead and let those who want it determine the good questions?
Jun 22, 2018 at 0:02 comment added curiousdannii @steve It doesn't take any domain experience to recognise shopping list questions and super opinion based questions. The questions I didn't understand I left alone. And see the answers below for other people that also identified many shopping list questions etc.
Jun 21, 2018 at 19:10 comment added Steve Ives @curiousdannii Why on Earth did you do that? Especially having admitted that you are unfamiliar with the topic. Do you have have the experience to downvote those questions?

Jun 14, 2018 at 7:05 comment added curiousdannii Putting the question of whether it should be a separate site to the side, that proposal definitely needs lots more eyes on it. I just used up all of today's close votes and almost all my downvotes on it. (Not implying all my votes are right, I'm not very familiar with the topic, just looking for things which don't seem to fit the SE format.) There's a huge number of broad/opinion questions.
