Q: What does being a 'Contributor' look like on Worldbuilding?

I've been on Worldbuilding now for just (10 minutes as I write this) over 4 months, after noticing the question about lights being needed on space ships in November.

@Mithrandir24601 Huh. 200 times more powerful than little boy really isn't all that hard. And obviously burying it makes sense.

@HDE226868 Thursday is a mean trick that always pre-dates Fridays.

Mithrandir24601

@Shalvenay I don't know when drawbridges (over a river) were invented, but would he even know about the existence of such a thing?

Shalvenay

@Mithrandir24601 I'm...not sure. perhaps he sees it in the far distance opening and closing for the last ship through?

Q: Why was my question about figuring out physical differences between fantasy races put on hold for being to vague?

I made a post called How to differentiate between elves and men where I asked about how to make elves physically different enough from mem that you could distinguish one from a man at a glance. I got a few answers that clearly understood what I was asking, yet it was put on hold for being unclear...
