comment How can I know a rav has daas Torah
The title and content don't make any sense together. What is your question here? If it's "What does 'da'at Torah' mean?", that is answerable. If it's "How do I know if a rav has da'at Torah?", that is still (though less) answerable. If it's "I have a problem with the way that terms are used," that's not even a question!

comment Electronic sliding doors on shabbat
The whole site runs presuming the policy you stated in the second half of your question. However, this is a community where people come to ask for sources and opinions, not halakhic advice. If you'd like to insert a link in your answer to the Why ask a rabbi question, you're welcome to, but it needn't be the focus of your response.

comment What are valid reasons for establishing a new Minyan?
I think the OP is asking about creating a regular minyan that meets at a fixed time and place even when there are other minyanim in the area for that service.

I'd look into psaks on Dungeons & Dragons.

@MonicaCellio so we are distinguishing, say Diablo, from Second Life?

you mean He should have not done or said anything until the late 1800s?

or it would cause people to knowingly violate G-d's command where we can say that currently, they might be able to rely on ignorance.
