Add a Rule to Ban "Best Of" Type Questions?
by ondoho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VJGC)
Currently I perceive an increase in questions of the type
"What's better, distro A or distro B"
"Please recommend best app to accomplish X"
etc.
and I mean without adding any relevant information from the OP.
I know some forums have a rule that specifically forbids this type of "empty" "Best Of" questions, and enforce it if the OP does not add any relevant information.
I would suggest adding it to the rules. That might not help much, but at least it would allow mods to close this type of bikeshedding threads.
What are people's (and ultimately jeremy's) thoughts on this?
