Relaunch the blog
This answer is a compendium of other answers. Let a thousand flowers bloom.
To celebrate our first year, we will re-launch the blog and make several posts during the month of September to kick it off. We'd like to see posts from lots of people. The new blog site should make...
"I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions."
@bowlturner I have not voted on the question (hadn't read it before now). A technique I find helpful that you might consider here is to use fictional negative examples. Your post isn't about Scientology, but by criticizing it you open a door to responses that are about that instead of what you really want to ask about. You could instead talk about the Church of Dogbert and everybody would know what you mean. And you can point to many business trends that depend on people not thinking much.
(more to the point, given that the question asks for plausible solutions, it is unhelpful to merely say it can't be done without suggesting some alternative)
In the lack of negativity to a suggestion I made in chat, I'm posting this.
We've been running for quite a while now and we've got great activity. However, I feel like we could know each other better as a community. So:
Post an answer. Tell us about yourself. What kind of thing do you do? Most ...
You want to have a general answer as possible, but that leads to an opinion-based question; by specifying it, you're making it more concrete and answerable.
@JorgeAldo Take, for example, my wizard question. Though I was mad at first that it was put on hold, 60 seconds of thinking made me realize that there were things wrong with it. If Michael hadn't articulated that, then the question would have been worse.
> As members of a community, your first loyalty should be to that community. When evaluating a question, you shouldn’t be looking to push it off on some other site; instead, ask if it could be appropriate and on-topic for you, the experts who the author decided to ask. Be a bit jealous of your site – don’t blithely turn askers away simply because their question could be asked somewhere else.
By observing edge cases and seeing how well they work out for the site, we can build an experience-based definition of what the site can and can't (and will and won't) handle with grace. I think that's better than creating policy based on speculation about what might work for the site.
Oh my. I answered a question at History.SE a couple of hours ago. Just now, I was looking at my reputation going up with much satisfaction, when I realized: I'm getting high on imaginary internet points. It's happening to me, right now.
> Fiction is not Darwinian: It contains no impartial process of evolution that dispassionately produces the events of a fictional universe. Fiction is miraculously, fundamentally Creationist. When we make worlds, we become gods.
