The post The post https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/574587/desriptor-as-simultaneously-an-adjective-and-an-adverb-retaining-truncated-into got closed on the basis of being "opinion-based". I have two questions.

  1. What is "opinion-based" about it? The fact that there exists more than one possibly valid answer (which fits the definition more closely of "lacking focus"), or some wordchoiceword choice used therein, something else, or a combination? The former reason is true to some extent for many if not a majority of questions; is this particular Question-post phrased in such a way as to preclude an answer?, or what be the issue?

  2. Less than a few hours after its closure (which occurred just an hour or so after my posting it), my Questionquestion-asking privilege from English.SE got suspended. Now, I don't know how closely connected the two are, but would someone (ideally, among whom a Mod) mind weighing-in (with any suggestions or elucidation)?
