Dear StackOverflow,
I stumble on questions marked as “off-topic” weekly, every time with valuable, non biased answers. Most of the time these answers are better than any other found on the internet.
Arguably, you wanted to deter trolls and to prevent sterile “I prefer” comments. But that’s not what’s happening. People are behaving. Valuable answers are up-voted and emerge on top. Should any troll spawn, he would be quickly down-voted to see his comment fade into oblivion. (…)
