Oct 25, 2018 at 21:50 comment added Ask About Monica None of the posts that got IPS banned had titles that any reasonable person would object to, so the idea that this can be fixed by any kind of tagging/commenting system isn't going to work.
Oct 22, 2018 at 18:55 comment added Ael @Notts90 It's suppose to be a compromise will we are waiting for something better
Oct 22, 2018 at 18:19 comment added user2356 @Noon sounds slow and like a lot of effort
Oct 22, 2018 at 17:25 comment added Ael @Notts90 To answer your other point, the tag are there to stay forever and the question tagged appear in HNQ only if the current HNQ algorithm want them.
Oct 22, 2018 at 17:22 comment added Ael @Notts90 I was thinking about some meta post where people could post questions they think could be on HNQ (one question per post). They the community upvote and if when/the question get enough upvote, a mod tag the question and delete the proposition in the meta post (to keep everything clean)
Oct 22, 2018 at 17:20 comment added user2356 Absolute no to the tag suggestion. 1. Who decides if it gets the tag? 2. What if people disagree and you end up in an edit war? 3. How long does it keep the tag? 4. Does every tagged question appear in the HNQ list? Creates more problems than it solves
Oct 20, 2018 at 13:21 comment added Ael @JAD you may have a point but since they are working on something for a new HNQ and that my suggestion was using the old system, using a temporary solution might very well work in this case (as in, the temporary solution really is temporary)
Oct 20, 2018 at 13:16 comment added JAD @Noon solutions are rarely temporary. If they work, they'll be kept in place as being "good enough"
Oct 20, 2018 at 12:46 comment added Ael @gparyani Oh, right. Well, I have nothing against using an HTML comment at the beginning of a post instead of a tag. I just want a way for us to say "this is okay for HNQ".

Edit in response to comment
Oct 20, 2018 at 12:27 comment added gparyani Read my bio. I put HTML comments at the top of my posts on the main site. We can do something similar to vet HNQs.
Oct 20, 2018 at 12:18 comment added gparyani I said, on any question. (I edited my comment; comments aren't reloaded upon edit so it's likely you saw the earlier revision.)
Oct 20, 2018 at 11:48 comment added Ael @gparyani About what post are you talking about?
Oct 20, 2018 at 11:45 comment added gparyani Tags should never be used to indicate the nature of the question, only its content. Here's a simple test: can it stand as the only tag on any question? If it can't, it's a meta tag. I suggest an HTML comment at the top of the post, like I put in my posts.
Oct 20, 2018 at 11:30 comment added Ael @gparyani I suggested this tag as a temporary solution. Something that, if I correctly understand how some tags/keywords are banned from HNQ, is easy to put in place. (Also, I edited the name of the tag to try to address your point, not sure I solved it, though)

change propose tag
Oct 20, 2018 at 11:05 comment added gparyani Such a tag is bad, as it is a meta tag: stackoverflow.blog/2010/08/07/the-death-of-meta-tags
