<p>As I assume that many of you are aware, there are no <code>[soft-question]</code>, <code>[advice]</code>, or <code>[career-development]</code> tags in stats.SE. I was wondering why this was, and who decides it?</p>

<p>Some of the most successful / popular questions of math.SE have the <code>[soft-question]</code>, <code>[advice]</code>, or <code>[career-development]</code> tags which can be see from just looking at the first couple of pages of math.SE.</p>

<p>I can see no reason why these types of questions should be important to people on math.SE but not on stats.SE. Moreover the argument is that these are "not encouraged by the format of SE" seems strange as they feature prominently on one of the most successful SE sites. (One could generalise this argument to math.overflow, although that is not part of the SE network.)</p>
