Hide the "describe what you've tried" bullet (new askers' modal)
Yes.
This statement implies that if you've tried and failed, then you can post your non-working attempt on CR.
We should remove that instruction.

if ( [conditions].isGoodTag() ) { return "keep" } else { return "burninate" }
Really, I think that the tag is really broad.

(almost)All code has conditions in it for one thing or another. I really don't think that ...

How should we revisit our standard close reasons?
As I see it, some of the problems with the existing close reasons are:
Ambiguity of "broken code". Some users seem to think that anything that compiles is not broken.
Accusations of "not real code". ...

Shall we stop [naming] things?
Yes, the naming tag should be eliminated through burnination, since it adds no value. Every piece of code (except simple assembly and esoteric languages such as brainfuck) involves naming, and every ...

Can we replace the misleading [unity] tag with a more distinct tag?
I think this is a good suggestion. I would support it, but let's give it a few days to garner support in meta.

for (post in [loop]) { post.tagMoreAppropriately(); }
Burnination is probably fine and the iterator tag probably suffices for the examples my previous answer references.

I'd prefer to just burn classes. I feel that it's only used for questions with more than one class. Before doing so, we should make sure that the existing questions are okay without the tag.
