> Questions with artificial requirements that have no practical use, including code obfuscation and code golf Questions with no practical use can and have always existed in some way. I could be programming anything as a hobby, and I could simply get rejected because my question "does not have a practical use" and has "artificial requirements". I do agree that gamified questions shouldn't be allowed(coding challenges and the like), but if a person is asking for help with obfuscating code or doing something absolutely useless, it should still be fine as a general question, since it is about coding, after all.
