I'm reading through the meta posts about the recent moderator drama (all new to me as I just started visiting the stack exchanges regularly again after a couple years this past October.) I wonder if all of the is related depending on the 'newness' of this issue. If it has nothing to do with that, I also wonder if this is a question of sustainability... while there are potentially infinite questions to ask, there is likely a point at which the questions that most often need answering are already asked, and answered
Yes, this needs to happen - especially on any questions that one cares to take the time to answer... And, perhaps any question that one can't deem as 'stupid' or 'unworthy,' if one is even taking the time to simply read it... As in, "this question is in some way thought provoking and/or entertaining. It does not make me want to slit my wrists," then it should be upvoted. Especially by the older/more experienced members that might otherwise think a novice-type question to be 'beneath' them
It would seem that the two issues are related... Also, the whole 'are we being mean' topic. But, I also wonder if there is some leeway in the types of questions that can be asked on this stack in particular... I realize there is a music fans stack, but considering the music experience is so subjective in nature, I wonder if moderation should be more lenient with certain (not all) questions of this type
