When I logged in today hoping to see new answers, I was surprised when I found that my question was on hold. The notice has flagged it as too broad. There was one comment suggesting that system-agnostic is an inappropriate tag, but that is it.
To the six users who put my question on hold, what do you find too broad about it, and what can I do to improve it?
Just guessing. From the "too broad" definition:
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.
I don't think there's too many answers to this, but if you want someone to write in an answer a small-to-giant-crunchy-org-management solution it'd be too much. I think that's easily tweaked for asking for preexisting rulesets that meet your criteria.
If the problem is "what you want is too big I don't think something like this exists" (which is likely), this is an incorrect use of close-too broad. Open with no answers is the proper response. Remember voters, "too broad" doesn't mean "he's looking for something too broad in scope to be likely," it means "the question as posed is too broad to answer in this format," and those are very different things.
Typically, you can't.
Mods and others simply lambaste the author and never revisit it, even if you do a complete overhaul, especially if someone was offended by the question.
The other irritating part is other users will quickly down-vote a question (or an answer), many times without any indication as to why, and never up-vote after an edit by the original author that complies with the suggestions made in the comments that do exist.
While I don't think this is intended, it's how it works in practice. You'll have much better luck if you delete the original question and resubmit as a new question, using the suggestions made by mods and others.
