The answer to the other question has 4 votes in favour of allowing. This question has no votes in favour of removing, as it does not yet have any answers that propose removing.
Votes on the question show support for having the discussion, and cannot be conclusively interpreted as supporting the qu... (more) |

If you believe that a post is off topic, you can start a [Meta discussion](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/categories/16) and see if the community agrees with you. If so, the definition of what is on topic can be amended accordingly. (more) |

If you see a post that needs moderator attention, you can press the "Flag" button under it and write a message to the moderators. This ensures a moderator will see it, and also avoids the distraction of needing to put a message in your answer. (more) |

It's not a rule. Each person votes as they see fit. The end result is that we can get an impression of which answers people approve of. (more) |

It's a similar idea in Codidact communities in general. Voting shows which answer to a question the community thinks most highly of. (more) |

Generally people post an answer making their case for what should happen, and then the community can vote on each of the answers so we can see which answer has the support of the community. (more) |

They will have different effects for different people at different times:
- When someone is looking for a question that is ready to answer they can filter out downvoted questions.
- When someone is looking to help improve questions they can filter to show only downvoted questions. (more) |

Downvotes are anonymous by design and do not require a comment. If you think this should be changed, you could discuss this on Codidact Meta. There has been a [General discussion on making votes public](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278438), and you could post a new question about requiring comment... (more) |

I agree that the example question is of low quality, but the close reason suggested it was off topic, which is a different problem.
I understand your answer to mean that the example question is near to being on topic but low quality (so either the wrong close reason was used, or else it should not... (more) |

Thank you for clarifying.
> General Q&A about worldbuilding and other speculative developments that can be extrapolated from science.
Although the community is not restricted solely to world building, the Q&A category description suggests it is a big part of determining what is on topic. If tha... (more) |

I agree that some of the questions do not match the current description of what's on topic. That could be fixed by one of:
1. Closing those questions as off topic.
2. Suggesting a change to what's on topic, for the community to vote on. (more) |

Of the Lagrange points, [only L4 and L5 are stable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point#Stability), so a moon at L1 or L2 would fall into a different orbit rather than give a fixed shadow on either the planet or the moon.
I really like the idea of this fixed shadow though. I don't know wh... (more) |

I think the recent individual questions about how a specific sport might be adjusted for low gravity are a good fit for Q&A. It's only this one question that I'm having concerns about. It seems like it might be better suited to chat, and then the ideas thrown up could become specific questions later.... (more) |

Would these individual ideas be better asked as separate questions?
A request for arbitrary suggestions doesn't seem like a good fit for the question and answer format. I wouldn't know whether to interpret voting on the answers as a measure of how well the answer is written, or a measure of how po... (more) |
