| Aug 18, 2017 at 23:33 | comment | added | JBH | I'm learning to hate this tag. OP's don't understand it and answerers are being held to frequently impossibly high standards. Whenever I see the tag used, I'm inclined to invite the OP to prove the need because, with answers being punished for not meeting the expectation (especially for questions that have no applicable hard science answers, as if the tag magically made such answers possible). And it should be the OP that confirms the use, not some mod who's on the warpath because answers don't have PhD level calculus formulas. Like I said, I'm learning to hate this tag. | |

| Jul 21, 2017 at 3:48 | comment | added | HDE 226868 Mod | @Mazura It's added to all questions with the tag manually by a mod; we might have had a discussion somewhere about adding it automatically. I'll get back to you on that. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 3:47 | comment | added | Mazura | Oh, it gets put on answers. It should be a banner on any question tagged HS. Kinda like the blanket banner on Skeptics; backup your story or it will be deleted. If a simple addition of any tag can invalidate an answer, it should warn you before you even click "answer this question". But it shouldn't be at the bottom. It should be right under the question. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 3:19 | comment | added | HDE 226868 Mod | @Mazura It's meant to be used only on answers that don't meet the requirements - and quite a few do. As far as I can tell, that fraction's increased since the notice was first used. | |

We're featuring this to try to get a more in-depth discussion.

| Jun 26, 2017 at 4:44 | comment | added | a4android | There is another problem related to this issue. Questions with the hard-science tag where it either isn't needed or isn't appropriate. Often the questioner wants an answer suitable for a hard-science science-fiction (SF) setting and usually a science-based answer would be sufficient. Hard-science SF and hard-science tagged questions & answers are far enough apart to be difficult critters, but the similarity in their names leads some WBers astray. | |
