Would questions about comparing two constructed languages be on-topic?

Question

Proposal: Planned Languages

For example, would a question that ask about the equivalent in Lojban of a construct in Esperanto be on-topic?

I am asking because in the on-topic questions for the proposal there isn't an example of such question, nor do I find an off-topic question that is similar to that.

Answer 1

I would think that would be on topic because it breaks down into two parts where both parts would be on topic.

1. What is the grammatical construct represented by X in Esparanto?
2. What is the manifestation of grammatical construct Y in Lojban?

Answer 2

Yes. But could some moderator wanna-be think of a reason to close it, probably, and that is true of any question.

But having been through a few beta here, I've noticed that even questions that have gotten large number of "on topic" votes sometimes get closed once the site goes into beta and live.

In my opinion, moderators and moderator wanna-bes are too eager to close questions for virtually any reason, especially in beta. Since the moderators and moderator wanna-bes don't coordinate, this leads to questions being closed for contradictory reasons.

Since the closing sprees on the sci-fi stack exchange eviscerated the will of the community to ask questions (on most days 3 or fewer questions asked), I plan to be standing ready to re-ask, re-restate and vote to unclose questions. It will take coordinated mob action to fight back against mobs of moderator wanna-bes.

Should this stack exchange be so fortunate as to go live and have hundreds of questions a minute (like stackoverflow), then "close-first-ask-questions-later" policies become appropriate.

Answer 3

I think such questions should be considered on-topic. For example, comparisons between Lojban and Esperanto could inspire conlangers to think more about how the purpose of a conlang affects its structure.
