| Jul 6, 2022 at 21:34 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | After a while thinking about it, some obliqueness remains: Q asks "do we need to broaden rule", A says "rule is descriptive" (your explication of the existing rule as you interpret it follows). But what follows from that in terms of this metaQ? Unsure: Would the problem sketched in Q fall under the existing 'description' of that rule or not? If not, 'would it if', could it, should it? (I ask for that clarification since I consider it absolutely self-evident& 'a must' that 'extra attention/higher bar'≠'auto off-topic'.) | |

If a question is all dirt we shouldn't wash it until there's nothing left - then a troll ends up getting credit for a question they didn't even write. The whole point of the policy is to make users think about what they're saying when it comes to topics that are heavily trolled. Not too make established users do their work for them. | |

I think MCW experimented with that for a while, and wasn't really satisfied with the results. They might could talk about why better than I can, but IIRC it was a lot more work for us (if WE unilaterally put on hold a potentially fixable question, we kind of feel obligated to help improve it to get it back open), and pretty much always the death knell of the question. | |
