The OS should be a tag, or part of the question title/body itself, if it is relevant. That really only leaves hardware specs, which are rarely if ever useful for software questions - in fact, most people I see who list specs tend to list utterly irrelevant ones. | |

| Aug 8, 2014 at 16:44 | comment | added | Bob | @KronoS How many people will see a long form asking for specs and actually bother filling it out? People who go to that extent will probably try to format their text better with existing options anyway (I've seen some decent uses of bold and linebreaks). The bigger issue might be single line breaks being swallowed up by Markdown - the two-line-breaks or two-spaces thing is really unintuitive. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 16:41 | comment | added | James Mertz | I do see your point however in the fact that there are a lot of specs out there, and probably only a select few that may apply to most question. However, the OS, CPU, and a few others I think would be very useful as I see them a lot in the questions that I edit. | |
