| May 17, 2013 at 18:27 | comment | added | Manishearth | @DaveNewton: Exactly. Preferably NARQ. | |
| May 17, 2013 at 18:26 | comment | added | Dave Newton | @Manishearth If it's that hard to decipher then it's either NARQ or NC until it's fixed. | |
| May 17, 2013 at 18:13 | comment | added | Manishearth | @Bart: That too. Still, I don't like hitting people with an NC ("Not Constructive" is slightly insulting when the question is constructive) when the question is just hard to decipher. | |
| May 17, 2013 at 18:11 | comment | added | Bart | Thinking about the Meta application of either close reason, I feel it's a bit "six of one, half a dozen of the other". Does it ultimately really matter? | |

| May 17, 2013 at 17:57 | comment | added | Manishearth | @Servy: Well, the NC thing was an afterthought, mainly sprouting from my opinion that NARQ is much more useful than NC on meta. | |
| May 17, 2013 at 17:57 | comment | added | Bart | Related btw: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/170984/… | |
| May 17, 2013 at 17:56 | comment | added | Manishearth | @Bart: Well, that too. But IMO many of the times NC is used where the contstructiveness is debatable -- an objectively not constructive post is where there is no goal in sight but to malign a few users or the site. | |
| May 17, 2013 at 17:55 | comment | added | Servy | 1) It seems like this is two requests, remove NC and add NARQ. Do they need to be done in conjunction? If not, they should probably be in two different posts. 2) Not constructive in MSO is generally not constructive in the general sense, whereas on SO it has a bit of a specialized definition. On MSO it's not for any subjective/polling question, it's for trolling or questions where the intent is clearly not to generate a helpful answer. That seems appropriate, and seems to be generally used appropriately (barring occasional exceptions). | |
| May 17, 2013 at 17:54 | comment | added | Bart | Actually, Meta is about the only place where "Not constructive" actually means "not constructive". | |
