- coldtea 8y agoYeah, what about it? The non-jerkish community-friendly thing for them to do would be to recognize the need and reality of such questions, and devote a special type of general start-off point like pages for such topics. Instead they hide behind the "original purpose and rules", as if what they came up in advance could have captured 100% of what's useful for such a community/website.
- MR4D 8y agoI’d go one step further - if the SO people were actually smart, they would have implemented a page rank type system that leveraged the scores of the responses to any question. Sorry for my bad attitude, but their “off topic” crap comes up so often on searches that I wonder why they ever ran an openly searchable system as opposed to a walled garden. SO, like AOL for egos.
