I can't stop you asking your own questions, so I am not sure what you mean.
Each person has a max of 5 questions to start with, including me. Those are 
the rules of the StackExchange game, as we have to prove that there is a large 
enough community of experts interested in a topic to create a new forum. 

I did leave a few comments on your question

"Why is the Semantic Web not eating its own dog food? Its documentation is almost impenetrable."
https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/120833/semantic-web?referrer=8LVIlli-Jxo2REi_fi0Evw2

asking you to be more precise in your questions, as it usual on stack exchange.
(I have had questions closed on Math.stackexchange.com for being too vague eg.
Isomorphism in the real world
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2494830/isomorphism-in-the-real-world
)

I also up-voted your question
"Can RDF be used without having to use OWL?"

The idea is that we need over 40 questions with each 10+ votes to prove there is
interest.
