Re: ICT Discussion
Would it be possible to put an "elements" tag on such questions and impose a maximum bound on the number of such questions that can sneak in as "miscellaneous science"?Brian Ulrich wrote:I'm not sure there's a distribution solution here, aside from banning elements from miscellaneous categories.
