I'm not asking for a decree - I am concerned that Villiam_Bur underestimated the difficulty of creating such guidance. Specifically, I'm doubtful there is any consensus on what is or is not on topic from a particular discussion post.

Would writing "I find LW rituals creepy" be off topic on the Schelling Day post? Or rude for some other reason? Or just fine? I suspect there is no consensus at all, so suggestions otherwise should be met with a bunch of skepticism.

If you think it is off topic, downvote and reply with 'downvoted for being meta and off-topic'. A consensus among the subset who read and vote on comments will emerge.
