| Jul 3, 2013 at 13:08 | comment | added | user9072 | @Kaveh: thanks for this remark. It was me who added the tag allowed-questions that already existed too. I think we might want to use scope for broader discussions and allowed-questions more for individual questions. This one is a bit in the middle. | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 6:52 | comment | added | Kaveh | side note: you can use the tag scope for discussions about what is/should be on-topic/off-topic. | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 6:39 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | The fact that there is no good place to discuss some subject does not mean it belongs on MO. | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 2:39 | comment | added | Michael Greinecker | @JohnMangual I did not vote to close, but some "top" examples on slideshare look as if they came out of Tufte's The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint. That is definitely not effective communication. | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 23:53 | comment | added | john mangual | @AndyPutman Because we are serious mathematicians we would be less organized and less effective communicators? Is that what you are saying? | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 23:52 | comment | added | john mangual | @AndrásBátkai There doesn't seem to be a good place to discuss such questions at the moment. | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 21:04 | comment | added | András Bátkai | My problem was (though I cannot vote) that I did not see a clear question which can be answered. You offered a topic for discussuion, which is quite interesting and has potential, but MO is not the right place to discuss. | |
| Jul 2, 2013 at 20:23 | comment | added | Andy Putman | One thing that I would guess happened is that people looked at the site you suggested and saw that it was not "serious" enough. I would feel bizarre posting things about my research on a website that seems mostly geared towards marketing and trendy business type stuff. This lead them to consider the question as not being a serious question. | |

Using [tag:sometagname] creates nice formatting and a link to the tag. I tried to add this but a parallel edit undid it. If you want you can do this, but it is of course not important.
