| Oct 14, 2008 at 12:04 | comment | added | Rob Allen | I find these amusing and appropriate for the community - but until they get filtered out of the normal flow of the questions they should be kept to a min. | |
| Oct 13, 2008 at 12:29 | comment | added | anonymous | I don't want to down or up vote this one as I want to see a bit in moderation, but nothing that should be showing up on a daily basis. Maybe something like a "Friday Happy Hour" for these questions? | |
| Oct 12, 2008 at 12:15 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | "Watch the pattern now: new users copy existing questions, and when those are OT then OT questions multiply quickly" totally agree, which is why we need "close", even though it's clearly a grey area. | |
| Oct 9, 2008 at 13:25 | comment | added | Bobby Jack | If they're allowed, they should certainly be very clearly tagged and filtering by tags should be improved on SO. | |
| Oct 8, 2008 at 14:09 | comment | added | Shog9 | These are like salt - a pinch makes eggs taste good, a cup makes them inedible. There needs to be either limits, or hard segregation of these "questions". Watch the pattern now: new users copy existing questions, and when those are OT then OT questions multiply quickly. | |

| Oct 8, 2008 at 13:51 | comment | added | Treb | I think a little humour is ok. If peiople are not interested in these questions, they can just ignore them. | |
