Are questions about facial hairstyles on-topic?

I don't see why this wouldn't be on topic, as long as it is specific to travel. You're posing the question in light of someone not familiar with the customs and practices of a country, so I think it …

Can I ask questions regarding towing here?

If the questions relate to travel, I'm good with them being asked and answered here. Some of these questions could be: unique or unusual laws, restrictions, requirements etc. licensing requirements …

These edits cleaning up the language, shouldn't have been rejected

Toilets are an awkward topic, and the tone of language of the original answer is slightly on the tongue-in-cheek side (but only slightly). I think it's quite appropriate given the topic.

Why was the question "Why do some boarding passes fail to mention when gates close?" closed ...

I didn't vote to close your question - I voted against the closure - but I didn't know the answer to it, unfortunately. I think it's a fair and reasonable question.

What is the stance on unfamiliar English words?

"Please don't pluck the flowers" has a pretty clear meaning, even if it's an Indian usage, but "prepone" doesn't have clear meaning to non-Indian speakers. I think choosing phrasing that will be easy …

Personally, I answer all such questions, and vote for them to stay open, if the answer will have long-term longevity for future readers. What's the cheapest pre-paid SIM card to use in France? There …
