Jun 20, 2019 at 7:54 comment added Mokubai Mod It might help to say that what we are specifically trying to prevent is "shopping questions" rather than "recommendations" . While a recommendation might be someone saying "you might like this...." actively seeking a large number of recommendations of things to try is inherently a shopping request. See Q&A is Hard, Let’s Go Shopping!
