It may be helpful to look at another site that has many opinion based questions: ParentingParenting
We welcome questions on topics like these:
- matters of upbringing,
- safety considerations,
- food and feeding,
- health and hygiene,
- development and growth,
- language development,
- behavior and social skills,
- discipline and punishment,
- childrens'/family games for developmental purposes or parental sanity.
A lot of those sound like opinion based answers would be everywhere. How do they handle this? From their Don't AskDon't Ask page:
Some subjective questions are allowed, but “subjective” does not mean “anything goes”. All subjective questions are expected to be constructive. What does that mean? Constructive subjective questions:
- inspire answers that explain “why” and “how”
- tend to have long, not short, answers
- have a constructive, fair, and impartial tone
- invite sharing experiences over opinions
- insist that opinion be backed up with facts and references
- are more than just mindless social fun
If we follow similar guidelines, and receive answers that meet the above points, the subjectivity of moderating human nature will make a good addition to the SE network.
