| Jun 21, 2017 at 12:12 | comment | added | a4android | The early discussions when WB was being established distinguished between pure plot-based questions and questions where plot was entangled with worldbuilding elements. Pure plot questions were off-topic. Plot-related worldbuilding was on-topic. This doesn't mean the questions might not have other problems.However, WBers do need to be careful distinguishing whether any questions that seem plot-based do have authentic worldbuilding elements. | |

It would be better to re-open, if they go through the effort edit their question. Questions that aren't closed define what is acceptable on this site and inform new users about what questions are ok to ask. | |
