Problem

On all Stack Exchange Sites, you can't post answers or questions that are mostly code. You always have to include some text minimum, otherwise you can't post the question.

I do understand why this is very helpful on Stack Overflow, but why is there this text minimum also on Code Review?

Argumentation

Code Review is a site for code to be reviewed. That's why you usually have to post much code. With this minimum, users tend to add irrelevant information, e.g. this question is filled with personal data of the user, such as the age, to reach the text minimum.
