If you go to at any half decent Q&A or discussion site the very first thing you see is a prompt to read the rules/FAQ. The reasons for it should be self evident and. …

I thought this had been addressed before but if it has I can't find it. There was a question asked a day or two ago which has what at first site appears to have a good answer. The OP accepted that an …

I have seen, and voted on, quite a few questions that are and indeed should be closed as NARQ, despite having answers. I can't see why it having answers should make any difference. For the particular …

Yes, it is too harsh. Not all valid edits require 6 characters. Same story with comments. Just have a look at how many times we've added something like "(stupid 15 character minimum)" to the end of ou …

You got downvotes from me because: You didn't ask a question, although sysadmin1138 has edited it to add a question since. I also cast a close vote on it for the same reason. You gave an answer to a …

No and here are just a few reasons to start with: Impossible to formulate in a way that will ever be accepted by any significant number of SFers, let alone the site owners. Impossible to maintain. W …

I believe that crap and/or off topic questions merely attract more of the same, whether they are closed or not. With that in mind, should we make more of an effort to delete them, especially the reall …

You need to learn to read the questions properly, as well as the FAQ. What you have overlooked in your examples is context. It is the context of the question more than the subject material that determ …

I've just cast a close vote on that question (since it's been reopened). I tossed up whether to cast it for Not Constructive or Not a Real Question and went with the former. It's not a question approp …

After reading both the question being discussed and what is being discussed here I still can't understand why anyone sees it as a legitimate and answerable question. In my opinion it is definitely not …

I just got back on after a couple of hours away from SF and the vote count and some of the other text is now looking kind of anaemic or anorexic. What happened? Why did it get changed? I don't recall …
