Agree completely. They did the same thing with discourse. The type of thinking I classify as "I'm smarter than my users".
Draconian limits on even slightly adjacent questions in SO are basically the same thinking that led them to prevent posting on a Discourse thread _in private instances_ unless your answer has the number of words they think you should use.
And they of course justify it by saying their "research" says this will create a "healthier" community which is of course bullshit.
