May 26, 2016 at 15:25 comment added vzn a/ the problem with banning contest questions (somewhat similarly to homework) is that they are often carefully/ cleverly constructed to impinge on key areas of theory etc, and one recent one got a lot of votes and decent analysis here... suggest ppl ignore/ downvote em if they dont like em but dont think a blanket/ unilateral closing tendency makes sense.

May 25, 2016 at 22:24 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod This has come up before. I'm not going to close this question as a duplicate immediately because the old discussion is three years old and didn't gather much attention then.
