Recently there's been a lot of discussion about the merits and/or problems with the [tag:rules-as-written] in the comments on various questions and in chat. Such discussion probably has a better home here in the meta where it can be more constructive.


What are the pros and cons for our site of having the rules-as-written tag? It is a meta-tag but we have other meta-tags that we strongly use ([tag:game-recommendation]) so I don't think that instantly disqualifies it. Please make a case for how [tag:rules-as-written] could be best used or why it should be removed from the site?
