| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:50 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @doppelgreener If the game-recs go, then our draconian bandaid solution for them will go too, I have no doubt. Whether tool-rec and such will live on after is probably something that will take some time to shake out, but regardless they'll be managed on their own merits. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:50 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Back to my original response though - I suggest this would be better off being backed up by citing what makes this official and to what extent. I'm no longer confident in my answer on this question and would consider deleting it if I could (I can't, being accepted), given I think I misread some of what I cited. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:48 | comment | added | doppelgreener | That's fine, I don't care strongly about the existence of game recommendations. I do care about members not interpreting this as meaning we handle other recommendations with the draconian force we've (by necessity) applied to game recommendation questions. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:46 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @doppelgreener If the winds keep blowing as they appear to be, this particular meta won't have relevance anymore even if that one does, so citing it here or not won't matter either way. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:45 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @doppelgreener It's true! At first I thought that was an odd failure of enforcement, but pondering how to answer this... well, this answer is the result. They're not great Q&As, but they're also not being nuisances. Smooth functioning of the site is the guiding light (rather than perfect application of the rules for the rules' sake), and tool-rec hasn't risen to the level of nuisance yet. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:43 | comment | added | doppelgreener | That tool rec answer got barely agreed with. Considering I plan to rewrite that answer to make references to GSBS instead of Game Rec guidelines, I suggest you do not cite me. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Oh, now I see the game-rec wiki. It hasn't been used that way, though. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @doppelgreener What are our requirements for tool recommendation questions and answers? (A: all game-rec stuff applies) | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:41 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Tool rec's wiki excerpt doesn't appear to mention anything about the game rec guidelines, unless I've misunderstood. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:39 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | @doppelgreener The tag's wiki excerpt has said so explicitly since 2013, as part of implementing this proposal at the time. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 3:29 | comment | added | doppelgreener | On what basis do you say our game-rec rules officially cover anything recommended for a game? You say de jure, what law? The first portion of our game rec guidelines suggests that shopping recommendations can be on topic, but the rest of the answer caters very specifically to recommendations of games, and we don't enforce and cite the game rec rules within tool recommendations that I have seen. You appear to be asserting the game-rec rules are more broadly impactful than the community has ever agreed with. | |
