| Oct 28, 2013 at 16:48 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | By the way, I don't mind at all if someone wants to take a risk without pre-asking. I wouldn't pick between just asking versus pre-asking here as the more appropriate course. It's just the post-mortems that don't belong at MO (according to long-standing custom). | |
| Oct 28, 2013 at 16:45 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @Amir: There is a long history of usage of meta for this purpose dating back through MO.1 days. Of course, anyone who wants to just post at MO without pre-asking is welcome to do so, but for those people who would not rest content with having their questions closed without further discussion: the general idea is to keep MO for mathematics, and not to get into discussions about why a question was closed in MO comments, but rather to address them here. | |
| Oct 28, 2013 at 16:04 | comment | added | Amir Asghari | Of course, if there is a general consensus about using meta in this direction, I would be the first person who uses it. But, to be honest, I cannot see why the features of MO alone should not be considered enough for keeping MO "clean". | |
