@TRiG "I bet they were getting inundated with "advice" questions and finally put this disclaimer up there with helpful links." Nope.

Currently, the following disclaimer is shown, in red, on the sidebar for new users only: Like Wikipedia, this site makes no gua...

Also, note that inundation is not the cause that'll motivate SO staff to add one of these disclaimers. A chilling effect for would-be contributors is:

A: Add general disclaimer for sites frequented by licensed professionals (and not just Law)

Shog9To the extent that these disclaimers have any value, I believe it is to the folks writing for these sites - answering questions - more than those reading. Indeed, this was the motivating factor on Health, and to a lesser extent Law as well: having the disclaimer on every page removes a lot of the...

I guess I'm a bit amazed at the incredible amount of rules Jews have to follow
and may I ask, why? What does following all the rules do.

@LCIII While for any given rule we may know and/or theorize about all/some/none of its reasons and know and/or theorize about all/some/none of its rewards, in the end of the day we're supposed to follow them because we believe that's what God wants us to do.
