- 5... so if it's a poorly phrased qustion or they don't give the whole picture then that's an OK reason to throw it to SF/SU to let them deal with it?Mark Henderson– Mark Henderson2009-10-14 23:55:07 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2009 at 23:55
- No; it ought to be closed and stay on Stack Overflow. I know you were trying to make a point, but there were other options than the one you mentioned.George Stocker– George Stocker2009-10-15 00:20:30 +00:00Commented Oct 15, 2009 at 0:20
- This answer is lame. How do these reasons differ from the reasons given for any question? I would downvote you if I wasted enough time on meta to do so!Matt Joiner– Matt Joiner2011-02-17 11:55:45 +00:00Commented Feb 17, 2011 at 11:55
- @Matt As opposed to wasting time on meta by commenting? It would have been far faster for you to downvote the answer. :-)George Stocker– George Stocker2011-09-20 16:27:58 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2011 at 16:27

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
