Are we allowed to ask questions which require an actual answer; as opposed to an opinion?

Most questions on here are asking about someone's favorite color or what jeans don't make their butt look big. Where are the questions that have a right answer?

    It is sometimes hard to find them, but that IS the preferred type of question on this site. The 'favorite color' questions are considered chatting and therefore are reportable. Opinion questions are allowed, as long as they don't spill over into chatting, ranting and other areas of violation.

    Yes, we are allowed; but that's just my opinion. Maybe we aren't allowed to ask those kinds of questions after all...
