Should Scientific Speculation support information-sharing that isn't in question form?
We've had a couple posts (example (deleted), example) that aren't really questions, but are information and maybe starting points for development. Over on the Worldbuilding proposal we're talking about a 'workshop' category where such posts would fit. This isn't Worldbuilding, though there is a proposal to merge SciSpec into Worldbuilding, and we don't have that concept here yet, but -- should we? If ultimately the communities merge then problem solved, but while SciSpec remains separate, what do folks think about adding a "workshop" category here? It could support either or both of Q&A and wiki posts (articles, collaboratively edited).

I hardly ever find truthful information or ideas awkward.
But you ask a fine question? What are you here for?
My understanding : how I got here is the "anti-stackexchange stackexhange". While the effort required to get a question on the site is approaching needing one or two rounds of venture capital funding, and the likelihood of getting a good answer is approaching the likelihood of winning powerball, "anti-stackexchange" has an appeal. I think Worldbuilding SE may have morphed from a Q+A site to a place where Editors edit at one another.

Codidact Scientific Speculation is not very active : 6 new questions in the last year.
Hardly seems like such a small volume of text could offend anyone in any way. Yet, I've been contacted more than once to remove the tiny bit of content I have as "already answered elsewhere" (it wasn't), or "not really science", or "not really a question".
It isn't my site. And I am starting to regret visiting.
As a bit of friendly advice, if this place has just become a burden - why not pull the plug?
Short Version
I would sure like a place, any place, to share and discuss ideas that's a step above a chatroom, forum, reddit, or bulletin board.
I'm happy with re-organizing anywhere, but sure would like it if there's not a huge amount of churn "figuring it out"
