| Sep 28, 2011 at 21:53 | comment | added | slhck | @DMA57361 My point is that it all seems like there was a rule introduced I haven't seen yet. I'll write a new meta post, it distracts from my issue. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 21:48 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | @slhck In addition to Diago's comment, I'd add that there's sometimes been resistance to deleting old-but-once-acceptable questions of "historic value", which is the reason for the new post annotations appearing (admittedly the problem is much stronger on SO). Community driven efforts, like Gareth's recent post, seem to be more successful at this - they get more constructive input and less people complaining than if a few ♦ just went on a massive clean up. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 18:56 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | @Daniel Software is a bit of a different ball game, yes. You can't really rephrase most software req's into "how do I tell if software is great a X". I could support hardware questions that meet those guidelines - how to analyse and make a decision without actually making one (and thus not really a recommendation question) - but I'm yet to be convinced software rec's are similarly worthwhile, I just didn't add that to the comment above as it was already an answer (which is to say, I support Diago's point at this stage). | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 18:38 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @DMA For some reason, all examples in that blog post are hardware. I mentioned hardware and why questions about it are generally not useful. Also, there's no free hardware. There is free software. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 18:17 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @Sathya There's a Wikipedia article, so it's somewhat known. From that article, a top 3 Google hit, you could quickly determine what it's about. | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 10:39 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | Since no one else has done so yet, I thought I'd just add a link to the most relevant blog post on this general topic, for reference: Q&A is Hard, Let’s Go Shopping! | |

Quicksilver is a well-known program that does this - I had no clue about QuickSilver till now. Popular niche program is not always known to all
