Shouldn't questions posted in "Crazy thoughts" be exempt from being flagged "nonsense", since most of them are nonsense by nature?

But if someone's question was aghgnjfdhgsipug? (done many times) I think that constitutes as nonsense, don't you?

Nonsense is defined as 'an utterance or written text in what appears to be a human language or other symbolic system, that does not in fact carry any identifiable meaning.' So, no, I don't think so. Things that don't make sense shouldn't be allowed no matter what category they're in.

yes

OKay, let me give an example of what I'm talking about. There was a post about 'what is your prawn-star name', that being the name of your first seafood dish and the brand of shoe you are wearing. This was funny, answered by 14 or more people, and flagged as nonsense. Not fair.

No. If it is not a question and is totally nonsense, I think it is nonsense and should have no exemption at all. Nonsense is nonsense. A "Crazy Thought" is not gibberish or random keyboard letters with no real sentence. Yet for some reason, these do not get removed from the ques, and even though they have only 1-2 answers and many negative points, they stay up. It's a mystery to me, and I think it reflects greatly on the credibility of Answerbag, even under the Crazy Thoughts category. Plus it encourages others to do the same thing.

Why not the other way around? Redirect all questions which are flagged as nonsense to the "Crazy thoughts" catagory, instead of rejecting them.
