| Oct 15, 2011 at 22:26 | comment | added | Nifle | @slhck - But I want those questions. It's just that we have to use some tough love on the questions that don't fit. And if answers don't follow the If you have a recommendation please tell me why you chose that application over any other applications you have tried advice we convert them to comments. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 22:17 | comment | added | slhck | I have given up trying to understand how here on Meta the "software recommendation" can be frowned upon while on the site, it is omnipresent and not often closed by the community. Yes, there are plain "BEST XYZ" questions, but there are also questions that can be rewritten to "How do I solve this?". Putting it in the FAQ would just make it clear that the former is not wanted. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 22:16 | comment | added | slhck | This is probably not the place (question) to discuss the underlying issue though. This is merely about adding it to the FAQ or not. We've had plenty of discussions about this topic before and the line seemed very straightforward. Still, see my answer here. (continued) | |
