As the author of this post in question (thank you Bruno Pereira, for bringing it up and pointing it out to me), i honestly admit, that it was intended and expected to be a listing-your-answers request. You already established that fact, so this is only a personal remark.

Furthermore i understand, why this and other requests like these were closed, but i don't oppose, nor do i agree. Why? Because there is clearly a conflict involved, which has been pointed out sufficiently in the comments above, both for pro and contra.

Next (and most important) Step:
How to deal with these sort of problems / How to make community rules fair and equal to all of its members, which only leaves two options:

1. Allow list questions
2. Exclude list questions

Being a non-supporter of strict rules, that totally cut out useful, helpful and valuable content/information, which is to be considered the case here, i suggest the following idea:

Why not allow these list-question in a fair way to everyone!

• First of all (if this is the way to go) all list-questions, that have been submitted must be deleted, in order to put everyone on the same level.
• I noticed, that there is a community-bot, that edits answers, which can be used, to create these questions anew (best web-browser, music-player, applets etc..), so that users can only answer instead of doing both.
• Also the reputation-points system is somewhat a disturbing factor in this case. If possible (that is for the developers/website ppl to say) points shouldn't be given for list-answers at all, since these can also be considered as opinions and secondly as answers. Not every effort must be rewarded if we talk about community, even if Ayn Rand would strongly object, if still living and interested in this discussion. (A great woman of her time!!)
• These questions would also make a good sub-category, which are not shown on the main page as questions, as it is right now, rather there would be a link to the sub-category section, like the meta forum. (Again, this is for the developers to consider/decide and some work for sure!)
• Also it is important to make a template like structure, that requires specific information in a specific order, like (only an example):

1. Image of the application.
2. Link to HP/Developer.
3. Extendable through/with plug-ins.
4. How to install / installation-options.
5. Stable/unstable release
6. Last update / maintenance
   etc..

• And the last point would be, to not make listing-questions a discussion post, (no comments of-topic, nor sub-comments in this area), since this was the idea in the first place, all necessary information required are there, thanks to the template-structure and user could post specified questions about on of the listed (i go with browsers again) in the askUbuntu HP, like before.

Well, i made some new rules in this idea as it seems, in a slightly different context, though it is more acceptable as it is right now imo.

So far!
