Meta: Lifetime of an idea. 1, 2 & 3

Another option is to add a new section along the lines of “Playground”. This way, there would be no disturbance to the status quo and such place would cover a larger scope of threads that are currently having a hard time to fit in.

It would a place for:

  1. Brainstorming unbaked ideas (The root issue of this thread)
  2. competitions, code golfs
  3. casual discussions on stuff that does not fit into any of the categories E.g.
    Can I write fun / esoteric python code here?

Generally, all of the stuff that doesn’t fit well into any of the current sections would go there.

Such:

  1. Would save moderators headache moderating “Serious sections”
  2. Coredevs could just not go there if they don’t want to waste their time over unbaked concepts
  3. “Help” would be clean of topics that are not actually “People seeking help”
