If you are referring to the rule about no punctuation in the question (apart from the question mark), then it definitely bothers me. It is a big hindrance, especially when you are trying to clarify your question or add details, and can often lead to you being forced to use incorrect grammar or have your questions not make sense.
I can't see why they need to have that rule. At the very least they could include a field for extra details if you're asking specific questions. If there is a good reason for the rule then I'd respect it, but I don't see one.
What else can I help you with?
Should there be a period after etc?
Yes, but that rule is not always followed in questions on this site because we are not supposed to use punctuation in questions, because the site isn't set up for us to use punctuation in questions. It is set up for us to be able to use punctuation in answers, though.
Why won't this site accept punctuation?
In a question, the only punctuation should be the question mark...^Not true. A question can consist of a statement justifying the position and context of the question. This statement requires, at the very least, a comma. When asking questions on quotations (such as 'Who said...') the quotation requires quotation marks. The lack of punctuation is detrimental to the idea of the site - allowing people to ask questions, and be answered.I, not knowing this rule existed until now, have berated people for lack of puntuation for which I apologise.
Why cant you use punctuation or dollar signs on this site?
The owners and developers made the decision to restrict punctuation or dollar signs on this site. Characters like those can often mess up programming.
Why is the one answering have no sense of spelling?
There are some contributers on the site whose answers are great but contain spelling mistakes and punctuation / grammatical errors. Anyone on the site is more than welcome to fix the mistakes as minor edits.Your spelling seems to be fine, so you're a good candidate for the job.
Where can one get a free punctuation checker?
While there are many locations that offer standard grammar and punctuation checks, two sites are more comprehensive. Those site are Grammar Base and Sentence Checker.
Why can't you ask a question here with punctuation?
Unfortunately, though we love punctuation here, our software doesn't. The more punctuation we allow in questions, the more glitches we get. So, we limit the amount of punctuation that can go into a question for that reason, and also because the more punctuation we allow, the more different versions of questions we could get with only punctuation differences. It's a hard balance to make. We're still working on being able to allow people to use more punctuation, but it is a long process, and often falls behind bigger priorities for the site.
Can anyone go on YouTube?
It is just as easy to get to the youtube web-site as it is to get to the wiki.answers web-site. Anyone with a computer can do it.
Why has my memory stick stopped working It will not allow me to open the memory stick it only says it needs to be formatted is there anyway of recovering my work?
For anyone looking at the awful punctuation I could not figure at a way past the stupid spell check this site has for questions, it truly is pathetic.

Which is correct - please site source - placing the punctuation mark before or after a sub or superscript?
The generally accepted practice is to place the punctuation mark before the superscript or subscripts. However, this guideline may vary in specific fields or style guides. The Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) recommends placing the punctuation mark before the superscript or subscripts.
