Jan 5 at 19:06 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Just to be clear: the thing I'm endorsing is not asking for loopholes or hacks or edge cases, it's specifically asking how to do a thing with certain features available, or asking if you can do the thing, etc, in an open-ended manner that doesn't put forward “i think this loophole lets me do it”. | |
Jan 5 at 18:25 | comment | added | doppelgreener | @ThomasMarkov I think that in fact this might work really well. The community gives pushback when a querent appears to be using the rules poorly (e.g. nonsensical interpretations, non sequiturs, suspected bad faith, etc), and it sounds like Nec is putting forward interpretations are getting pushback, but that functions as a red herring. Instead Nec just wants to know if A lets them do B, or if/how they can do B, and the community can just focus on that instead of also combating their interpretation. If ppl don't like Nec's parameters they might push back on that, but it's worth a try. | |

Jan 5 at 13:00 | comment | added | Thomas Markov | It seems like asking open ended questions may be detrimental to what OP is looking for. The response they’ve gotten indicates that the community at large thinks the sorts of solutions they’re looking for aren’t good. Leaving out the request for that particular sort of solution may lead to readers not even considering that sort of solution. At least with the explicit request, we know what’s on OP’s mind. | |
