Discussion Ask HN: Can a Stack Overflow moderator give us Stack Overflow back? Stack Overflow is currently looking for moderators: http://stackoverflow.com/election/5I really like Stack Overflow but I have noticed a few changes that I don't agree with.- Fun questions are now considered to be off topic.I don't understand why this happened. Work should be fun.- Asking for directions is off topic.Sometimes you need to ask which tool/product/etc. would be useful ... because comparing tools is boring and costs a lot of time.So could a moderator even affect the direction Stack Overflow takes? 20 points chris-at 12 years ago 29 comments

I don't understand why this happened. Work should be fun.
- Asking for directions is off topic.
Sometimes you need to ask which tool/product/etc. would be useful ... because comparing tools is boring and costs a lot of time.
