### Homebrew-related questions need to be received better

It's taken me a while to find a way to say this, [but this meta question puts a finger on it.][1]  There is (or seems to be) a *perceived* bias against homebrew that is likely dampening some questions where the community's *experience* could be of great value.  

At the risk of being a Jonny-one-Note, I will again offer a cogent observation on [a core value of RPG.SE][2] from @BESW

Part of the fun of many role playing games is homebrew, or minor adaptations to a rule set to get the game to fit better at a given table.  What appears to be happening in some cases (though it's hard for me to put a magnitude on it) is a *received negative connotation* of homebrew.  

I then tripped over [this comment][3] and began to wonder how prevalent this perception is.

As @doppelgreener pointed out in a comment under the meta in question, some of this is to do with being open to multiple playstyles, but there may be something more to this.  If I can put a name to it (I can't at the moment) I'll either add it to this answer or open another meta.  And for a full disclosure, I am pretty sure I have been guilty of what that comment complains about at least once, if not multiple times. 

### Actionable Suggestion. 
(1) Flag and report hostile comments. (we should already do that)   
(2) Work with querents to assist with the elements of a homebrew related question that can get a best answer, and identify those which remain within the domain of a table.  *Tone matters.*
