We love long, thoughtful answers to problems with multiple solutions. It's perfectly acceptable for a question to have multiple different answers... But it must have at least one possible complete answer. What had me concerned about your question was the number of extremely short, technically correct, fragmentary answers. | |
| Dec 10, 2011 at 17:17 | comment | added | AceCalhoon Mod | @RobLang I'm not sure if you're a programmer by trade, but "short, snappy, right/wrong" is not true of all programming questions (browse through some of Jon Skeet's answers sometime). Even setting that aside, what about Programmers.StackExchange, which deals exclusively with soft questions? | |
| Dec 10, 2011 at 14:31 | comment | added | mxyzplk Mod | Everyone always says their new SE is "different" in fundamental nature from all the others. And they're always wrong. | |
| Dec 10, 2011 at 13:45 | comment | added | Dr Rob Lang | Some nice points there but you cannot compare RPG.SE with StackOverflow, English, WebApps or many of the others because the nature of the questions suit short, snappy, right/wrong answers. Roleplaying does not. Being extremely successful in those fields is hardly solace. | |
