Good, interesting questions that make people think seem to be somewhat difficult to ask. People don’t just throw out any question here to see what sticks. Well, maybe we do, but most people don’t like those kinds of questions.
The idea is to add enough detail to make it very clear what you are looking for. You can’t have just one line questions. There are also a bunch of rules about other forbidden questions. The one that trips me up the most is about “poll type” questions. There is no good definition of poll here. Every question that asks for an opinion is, technically speaking, a poll question. But somewhere in every mod’s head is some kind of switch and when a question gets too polly, a little light goes off behind their eyes and smoke comes out their ears, and they slam that sucker off to lala land. Then they sit back like a satisfied cat, purring and licking their fur, happy that they have yet again struck a blow for truth, fluther and the American way.
