Proposal: > **Can Include** > * Helpful feedback I'd refrain from restricting the topic of feedback, because there are many possible topics: * Clarifying the question * Explaining why OP would be better served by asking a different question * Explaining how OP could have found a solution himself * Explaining why the question is in violation of site rules (the canned close reasons are too broad to achieve this) * Explaining other reasons why the question is poorly received I think all of these add value and should be permitted. In particular, our goal should not be restricted to improving this question so we can write answers for it, but to help OP in becoming a better software engineer. If they are harming themselves by using inappropriate tools, technologies, or approaches, we should speak up. The name of this website, Codidact, means: > Learning (and teaching) together. “Co”, together (like in “collaborate”), and “didact” from “didactic”, teaching. Teaching sometimes requires correcting mistakes.
