Ya. I'm gonna flip my vote if this is about further restricting what's tolerated on the list. That is:

1: Someone asks a question.

2: The guard says, "Please direct your questions to stack exchange."

3: Someone else chimes, "And by the way, dip shit, it's Lua, not LUA."

Etc. 

I guess I hadn't assumed that the idea was to move questions somewhere else, although now that I read the original post again, I now understand that as the intent. 

So, f I have it right, then I fear for that path and would be very much against it.
