| Jun 19, 2018 at 16:13 | comment | added | Silverfish | I downvoted the question for similar reasons, but I do want to make it clear to the OP that downvoting on Meta has very different implications and interpretations to downvoting questions on the main site, and should not at all be perceived as a slight! | |
| Jun 16, 2018 at 13:57 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @DeltaIV I am not so much convinced about a different tag. I was just pointing out that the case is much more nuanced. The same is true for the single argument about university policies. There are many more reasons why we have a self-study tag. The least reason would be that students can copy homework, work which btw is not so much university level but more for school (in that case we should delete the self-study questions after the OPs have discovered the solution, to prevent abuse from other students with the same question) | |
| Jun 16, 2018 at 13:03 | comment | added | DeltaIV | @MartijnWeterings it is not valid at all. There are obvious reasons why universities have policies against copying one another's work (or from the Internet), while hospitals have no policies against doctors (professionals) asking for suggestions from other doctors (professionals). This is so self-evident that I won't spend my time arguing the point here in comments. If you're convinced the analogy is valid, you're free to propose a new tag - naturally I'll oppose it. | |
| Jun 16, 2018 at 11:21 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | The point made by Ben is that we have a special off-topic closing option for 'self-study' when these questions go out of boundaries (off-topic). We do not have this for professional work questions (except the general tag). The analogy is certainly valid. | |
| Jun 16, 2018 at 11:16 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @DeltaIV I guess I do not understand your first sentence. But I agree with all of the rest (which maybe I did not understand either). It is just that (simplified) first premise that you extract from Ben's question which is entirely different in comparison to what I got from the question. ----- Certainly we should not need to judge questions on whether the OP gets paid for getting an answer. But the same is true for self-study questions where we should not judge the statistics and validity of the question (being on-topic) based on whether the OP is getting a mark for work copied from an answer. | |

| Jun 15, 2018 at 21:07 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | I believe that Ben was (much) more nuanced then just being against job-related questions. | |
