1 Answer

Answer :

Directly from the guidelines: In general, if your question inspires thoughtful discussion, and/or is particularly creative, and shows effort (so make sure you add details and give examples!), it probably won’t get moderated. If you ask a question and it does get moderated, just ask why. It may just take some simple tinkering to make it fit the guidelines enough for it to be allowed to stay. (And please do! I like the fun questions as much as the next person, but deeper stuff is usually my favorite.)
