At the end of the day though, if it provides some value to the world, does it matter?
I think there is a section of stack overflow moderators who shoot down questions purely due to ego.
Someone obviously trying to solicit an answer for their CS homework, close! Intoxicated monkey whacking the keyboard: close!.
This: keep it, please!
In fact I'm surprised it's still there.
- JeremyBanks 13y agoThis isn't Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow needs to be strict to handle the thousands of questions that pour in every day. Many other Stack Exchange sites are under less pressure and could decide on different policies. However, most sites' communities have also rejected such questions because they do not fit the Stack Exchange model. The software and policies are not optimized the handle this them a site filled with them would be terrible. The Apple Stack Exchange community decided that list-style questions are acceptable in very limited quantities. (They tend to be broad, which help avoid the need for too many of them.)
