Thanks. You've got to love the cluelessness of such a worthwhile Q&A being marked "not constructive" by the stack exchange moderators.

  Stack Exchange : the site that marks anything it is really good at as not constructive. Let me in as soon as anyone of you smart guys has an mvp of a stack exchange (or just stackoverflow.com-) replacement.

    While I don't agree with all their decisions I think it safe to say that the only reason stack exchange has really good answers to overly moderate in the first place is because they don't allow subjective discussions. If they did, the knowledgeable people would quickly leave since their answers couldn't and wouldn't be correctly valued by those with less knowledge.

      I strongly believe that there is a niche for a q/a site with less focus on bureaucratic management of counter-productive rules. I mean, whoever does this might have to hire their own dang-like supermod but I refuse to accept that what we see today is the only option. Some ideas: * don't make bureaucratic powers a reward * when the map and the terrain doesn't match the terrain is usually correct. When the time after time you find that the most useful questions are closed as not constructive then maybe the rules for "not constructive" needs to change. * from other forums: encourage newcomers to use nicks that don't identify them at least until they get a feel for it

  I am strongly inclined to think this is the particular moderator culture with a strong sense of egoism and position rather than pursuit of constructive moderation; while maybe 95% of similar questions should be closed as "not constructive" this clearly is a useful and constructive question (the exact place where a moderator should be using good personal discretion!). This kind of thing definitely turns me off stack-exchange sites -- especially I find that the sites aside from stack-overflow (which has a larger and perhaps more responsive user-base) are prone to terrible over-moderation and as well as very selective moderation.
