USING THIS TAG IS NOT THE SAME THING AS ASKING ON STACK OVERFLOW. YOU ARE ON META STACK EXCHANGE, WHERE MOST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ARE OFF-TOPIC. Questions specific to stackoverflow.com should be asked on meta.stackoverflow.com; such questions will be closed here. This is for questions about the Stack Overflow site that still relate to the SE network as a whole. Questions about Stack Overflow (the company) should be tagged [company] instead.

How can I buy stock in Stack Overflow?

For user experience type questions there is SE.UX.
Programming design questions are fine on StackOverflow itself. Do keep in mind though that your question should never be a poll type of question or …

Why did my valid question get closed?
It seems reasonably clear (to me) what you are asking (not that I can answer it). However it does seem to fit the definition of overly broad, and quite possibly vague.
Basically, you may need to writ …

Why do people with high reputation get upvoted even for worthless answers?
That answer wasn't the best Jon has ever done - we all have answers that we're not particularly proud of.

Suggested edits being declined on Stack Overflow
The answer from Sam is excellent. I'm a frequent complainer activist on this subject so I'll offer a perspective. In addition to what Sam said I reject edits that:

How to address C#/.NET users' mis-use of the [assembly] tag
The problem is that assembly is perfectly legitimate to use for .NET related questions about .NET assemblies. Asm'ers don't own it; they just used it first. (Side note: I've written a Visual Studio pl …
