| Aug 3, 2014 at 18:25 | comment | added | sites | @MichaelT thanks for your link very illustrative, now I understand more, not all people takes the time to explain it in a concise way as you did. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | @juanpastas: "stack exchange sites are a good place to do so" – No, they are absolutely terrible for that. There is no way to have a discussion about opinions on SE. You are looking for a discussion platform, not a Question/Answer platform. There are many of those, SE is not one of them. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 15:33 | comment | added | user53019 | @juanpastas You said: "noise means system is not filtering." And that's exactly what the community is doing - filtering out the noise so the signal remains high. If you're looking for opinions, StackExchange is not the right community for that goal. While there are opinions, StackExchange is built around high quality questions and answers. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 15:32 | comment | added | user40980 | @juanpastas opinions do matter, but the site is poorly designed for having an opinion poll or discussion. Its specifically designed for questions that have specific answers or solutions. The site can't do everything ideally for all types of questions and so we try to focus on just those it can do Really Well. There is a bit more about this in On discussions and why they don't make good questions. | |

| Aug 3, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | sites | so bitter, opinions matter, I usually want to know the opinion of people who knows more than me, and stack exchange sites are a good place to do so. What if knowledgeable people just write for the joy of share what they are, and not to answer a question or earn reputation. The community will suffer? I don't think so, it's just the system needs to be better classifying information, and let user know when is reading a "too opinionated/discussed question", but no need to close, storage is cheap, and noise means system is not filtering. | |

| Jun 12, 2014 at 23:05 | comment | added | miraculixx | "the answers are all based on opinion” - that doesn't seem a good criteria (not least because it's a opinionated claim). I appreciate we're looking to find objective rather than subjective answers. Yet even so called authorative answers are in fact subjective, and thus opinions, on a well-informed basis alright. If that were not so, only one answer per question would ever be given, by the most authorative person on the site. A better reason and criteria would be 'has caused back-and-forth arguments without reaching a conclusion, as demonstrated by comments and answers'. | |
