| Nov 7, 2016 at 15:08 | comment | added | Buffer Over Read | +1 Good suggestion. It seems like a simple change on the technical side (although I could be wrong), so I wish SE staff can consider this on their to-do-list. | |
| Mar 20, 2016 at 0:41 | comment | added | bjb568 | Stack Exchange is fundamentally not about help. It's about data; about creating a repository for lasting knowledge. Users are here to build this repository, SE just offers a framework to incentivize this behavior. Helping users is a side effect of the system. An unclear question isn't the failure to categorize the question based on what help the asker happens to want, it's a failure of the system on SE's end and complete misunderstanding or outright abuse on the user's end. An unclear question is simply one that is not conductive to this repository of knowledge. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 21:58 | comment | added | Nathan Tuggy | @bjb568: SE usually uses the OP as a conveniently-available standin for "anyone who has this problem"; if it's unclear what help they need, it's unclear what help anyone else could receive. This only breaks down if it is clear what help they need, and that it's completely unreusable, individualized help. | |
| Mar 19, 2016 at 21:23 | comment | added | bjb568 | I disagree that OP needs help. OP certainly isn't entitled to it. This focuses too much on the benefits for OP, but we don't care about OP. Unclear means your question doesn't fit the site. | |

| Jan 15, 2014 at 7:57 | comment | added | Raphael | I like the title but the text does not work at all on some sites. Not every site requires "code" to be there. | |
| Jan 15, 2014 at 7:24 | comment | added | gnat | code, recipe, plan... At SO I'd say "implementation". Network-wide term looks like a tough nut to crack. Approach, solution - still feels slippery. Your idea to leave it open to be set as site-specific parameter makes good sense | |
