Largely through inaction on our part, http://programmers.stackexchange.com has become a bit of a ... strange and undisciplined place.

We aim to fix this!

Our goal is to remove the bottom 15-20% of the "worst" programmers.se questions and disallow them as **not constructive subjective questions**. Robert is currently in the middle of composing a blog post about this, with a 4 or 5 factor test the community can use to determine if their subjective questions are either ...

1. good, in the sense that they provide useful information of some kind that others can potentially benefit from 
2. bad, in the sense that they are amusing / entertaining but ultimately "junk food" empty experiences

So, please answer this question with:

1. **identify a "bad" programmers.se question, and tell us specifically *why* it is bad**.
2. **identify a "good" programmers.se question, and tell us specifically *why* it is good**.

(suggestion: check out the ["back it up" policy of moms4moms][1] which might inform your opinion on a general strategy for producing USEFUL subjective discussions; that's really what this is about)
