Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 24, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Was planning to comment on that today myself. It makes sense as a hazing/selection process; to select for posters who are committed/neurodiverse enough to not just give up and leave, but patient enough not to chimp out over being ignored.

It does seem to create a dilemma over what to do if the filtered post was one you really want an answer to, though. In most cases it'd be egregiously obnoxious to keep posting the same question; but the filtering/wait period introduces that nagging doubt that maybe the person with the perfect answer is on here and just didn't see it.

I just didn't want to waste effort on it if I was shadowbanned.
