| Oct 1, 2010 at 15:24 | comment | added | Michael Mrozek | I thought I was losing it, I even went to find one of the PSE posts closed as not constructive so I could click the link and make sure it went to the exact same blog post as the "really helpful comment" example. I can only assume when the close reason is "No real explanation, just a link to a generic blog post about what might get a question closed" but a comment pointing to the same place is "an extremely good close" that people aren't actually clicking the links | |
| Oct 1, 2010 at 14:12 | comment | added | Aarobot | @TheLQ: From what I can see, that question blatantly fails on #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6. #2 because most of the answers are one-liners or very short. #3 because it's not written in a neutral tone, it suggests a conclusion. #4 because even though it asks for "experiences", it actually quite clearly means "opinions". #5 because there's almost no way to back up an answer unless you went and did your own scientific study. And #6 because no answer to the question could possibly serve any constructive purpose. Satisfied? (And by the way, I'm atheist, so don't accuse me of being offended by it.) | |

The issue that I have with that is the OP can look at the guidelines, say it meets 5/6 of them, but its still closed. When a closer says something like 1) No 2 Yes 3) Yes 4) Yes 5) Yes 6) No a discussion can start about 1 & 6 and the community now has an actual example. With no explanation though, we have no idea how far rules are being taken (especially #6), can't discuss anything, and can't the community can't learn as much as it could
