| Oct 20, 2010 at 17:00 | comment | added | mfg | Is there likely to be a question about 'torrent' technology? By that I mean in using the term 'torrent' isn't the question inherently involving a seed/tracker distribution question? Torrents as a keyword/tag are bound to be vague by definition compared to actual questions. If there is a P2P question about a program such as Vuze or uTorrent or VLC, or a protocol for peer to peer sharing, it wouldn't actually be a question anymore specifically about torrents than it would computers or ISP. | |

All you have to do is not mention that it's not your computer (“I forgot the root password”). If the questions you cite are the best you could come with in terms of questionability, then the current policy is definitely not too lenient. | |

I also disagree with closing/flagging these questions. Asking a question on SU of "How do I hack someone's computer to get their info" is definitely not approved. How then are these sort of questions different than that? | |
