I just saw in a Comment to an Answer to a recent question where someone said that asking a "yes or no" question is a violation.
Is it? If so, where is this indicated as such in the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service?
This is a "yes or no" question. Doesn't it qualify as "knowledge seeking"?

Not as far as I'm concerned......
These questions are knowledge-seeking but really don't require more than a simple yes or no:
Do I need a passport to cross into Canada?
Can I use shortening as a substitute for butter in a recipe?
Is the metric system still used in Europe?
Are pythons venomous?
Is there an extra charge for a window seat on a plane?

No, but unless the question has chatty overtones. That would be a violation if it's reported for chat.

It is not automatically a violation, but history of the site shows that such questions are usually violations (mostly chat), so they should be avoided. Always ask for some facts in your question.
