A lot of smart people who read our blogs, so here, we invite you to join our site.&quot; I would suspect, then, that for the first n months, questions will be pretty good because the user base will mainly be the people who are already active on SO and Serverfault.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Over time, as more people come on board, it isn't inconceivable that we'll start seeing Yahoo-answers type problems: unclear questions, scant on details.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many forums try to combat this by having a sticky &quot;FAQ&quot; thread, in which they take common questions and post them at the top, along with links to the relevant posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other thing that happens is that people ask questions and nobody knows. This happens a lot when searching (for example) the Ubuntu forums - lots of problems specific to someone's hardware and video chip, and plenty of people who have the same problem, but nobody who has an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what is yet to be seen is this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Many forums have posts which say &quot;I have this problem too! Does anyone have a solution yet?&quot; Does the upvoting metaphor accomplish the same thing?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Is upvoting an effective way to actually get someone to investigate the issue at hand?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Will bounties and reputation also increase the chances of finding a good answer?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We know that this (usually) works for code-related questions. But taking the time to explain scheduling to someone when you already understand the concepts is different from doing the necessary research to figure out a display-driver problem. Of course, I say things like that because, to me, many of these things are a complete mystery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my hope is that, in contrast to ubuntuforums, superuser will help experts come out of the woodwork.

Seeing questions with accepted answers is confusing at times - the highlight may or may not stand out depending on what site you're on, may or may not be a border, a background, etc.  So confusing, I have to sit there and acclimate my thoughts as to what is going on each time I look at questions, answers, accepted answers, etc.  Even the &quot;standout&quot; and &quot;fade away&quot; on each site can be a bit confusing at first - if I don't want to see a question, rather than making it faint, couldn't I just filter it out and make it all go away?  The first few weeks it was &quot;what the hell...what does that say, why is it so hard to read?

Sadly none of the other answers get upvoted.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Killing a question with lengthy and unnecessary meta discussions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Single link answers or LMGTFY answers.

I never understood why &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/1931/john-t&quot;&gt;JohnT&lt;/a&gt; never upvotes anyone yet he is the highest user on the site, however the quality of his answers is brilliant. The same goes for &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/263/nik&quot;&gt;Nik&lt;/a&gt; Therefore the potential for high quality is there. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the moment it seems the biggest problem with SU is that the current user base treats the site like a dumping ground. Although these sites are part of a trilogy, they each stand on their own, and should be considered individually. Sadly this is not happening, and therefore the users that can add value doesn't want to contribute to the site, because it is overflowing and when they do contribute they don't get the level of response they do on the other sites, as mentioned by the OP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know I have been an over zealous moderator. I know I have made some bad judgement calls. However I have tried to be active and visible. As has the rest of the SU moderator team. We try improve the quality of questions and answers. Unfortunately this battle is becoming harder and harder everyday. I have started to step back leaving the community to handle the questions that I used to get involved in, unfortunately it seems that this is not working as well as it did for SF and SO. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day the goal of the site should not be the issue. Quality questions and answers is a goal of all the sites, whether is development, server or desktop related. A standard was set a year ago on SO. SF outright inherited it. I can't believe it is that hard to meet this standard on SU as well. However I am not entirely sure if we currently have the user base that can make this happen. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Considering the target audience of SU, having detailed and high quality step-by-step answers your mother can follow should be the standard for providing answers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3981" OwnerDisplayName="Diago" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:05.360" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T17:59:56.977" CommentCount="11" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I opted for not a real question since I believed Subjective and Argumentative is too strong a reason.

Just curious&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's a completely different thing (most of the times). When you have a Windows XP problem, it can usually be solved one way or another via a workaround, a hack, some simple app or even by following a tutorial.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, when something doesn't quite work the way you want to in a web app, such as Wolfram|Alpha, you can't just edit the registry (or use a Greasemonkey script) and make it do what you want, it's a simple &lt;strong&gt;support question&lt;/strong&gt;, something the &lt;strong&gt;site owners&lt;/strong&gt; must fix. This is the main difference; there was absolutely nothing we could have done to help him.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This can be applied to software as well. For instance, if you ask a question about volume licensing, or some other legalese stuff that's not in the EULA or on a Microsoft page, it becomes a support problem that we can't fix or can't help you with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And, for reference, one of the Facebook questions Diago closed after reading your question was partly computer related. Someone asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/66143/export-facebook-contacts-as-vcard&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; about exporting contacts from Facebook. Both the answers given pointed to software that was able to solve his problem, thus making the question computer related.

The problem only is that people tend to complain about it, because they argue that their question was &quot;computer related&quot;, etc. What we need here is indeed a more precise FAQ, to have a reference of what should and should not be, but only as a reason to close, given to users who ask wrong questions.

Someone explain to me why Super User needs to allow these kind of questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problems I do see is that (currently) there is some fragmentation and you can't be sure what site will gain the most traffic, the best users and most importantly the best answers. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, Super User already has higher traffic than these SE-sites, so it would be 'easier' for getting answers on you question there. Personally I'd love to see an API solution that simply let's me browse all SE and trilogy sites for interesting topics through one highly customizable portal. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That way, everyone will have their own version of the SE-sites based on what they personally like. If you're a programmer that doesn't like other topics to cloud his frontpage: good for you, go follow C# on SO alone. But that doesn't mean that there are other people who would like to follow other topics with the same ease.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As has been mentioned in similar discussions: even though someone likes Stack Overflow doesn't mean they instantly like Server Fault or Super User. However, that fact ignores all the users that do! It has been suggested by letting SF/SU question pop up to SO audience could draw a lot of SO's much larger traffic to the other sites. Now I don't want to clutter the Stack Overflow homepage, but do see potential for the API to create a medium here. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This could then also work for Super User and other SE-sites on smartphones, gaming consoles and other peripherals or web-apps. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop cluttering Super User with other topics and fix the problem, not the symptoms!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1548" OwnerDisplayName="Ivo Flipse" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:13.497" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

And as the site grew more and more popular, it just kept getting worse...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Super User: a light at the end of the tunnel&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/07/super-user-semi-private-beta-begins/&quot;&gt;When Super User was announced&lt;/a&gt;, there was one criteria for the questions asked there:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your question has to do with computers, it will be allowed there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was a welcome announcement for many. Even those of us who didn't plan on actually &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; the site, as it signed an end, at long last, to the tiring arguments, close wars, and bad-blood between users who wanted a programming site and users who wanted a &amp;quot;computer things&amp;quot; site. The ability to migrate questions meant that an off-topic question couldn't be easily re-opened on Stack Overflow, but could still be answered - a rare win-win for both camps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;A site about everything is a site about nothing: the ongoing Super User lock-down&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Almost immediately, the original definition for Super User was challenged, as users of the new site attempted to come up with &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5778/help-define-superuser-com&quot;&gt;more specific criteria for questions&lt;/a&gt;. By the time &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/08/super-user-now-public/&quot;&gt;the public beta opened&lt;/a&gt;, the definition had already changed to exclude questions relating to video games or consoles.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still though, the rules for migration were simple: computer-related but not programming-related and not game-related? Move to Super User! And that's pretty much the only rules I and many other SO users bother to remember even now - although I do try to follow some of the discussion here on Meta, I wasn't really aware prior to reading this question that SU now has &lt;strong&gt;an entire bullet list&lt;/strong&gt; of topics that &lt;em&gt;shouldn't&lt;/em&gt; be asked!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion: The fresh paint on your barn wall is not my responsibility&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bad migrations &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; happen: because we aren't SU users, because we're not continually checking your FAQ for new taboos and because we're sick of fighting with people who just want answers to their computer-related questions. If you don't like it, I don't blame you - but posting a request here isn't going to accomplish much. Remember, SO was programming-specific from the very start, and &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; gets a never-ending stream of off-topic questions, many of which aren't even computer-related.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you have your work cut out for you. John's suggestion for a special &amp;quot;migrated questions view&amp;quot; could work... if there were enough engaged 10K users on SU to actually make use of it. As-is, I suspect such questions will continue to be the responsibility of you and your fellow moderators.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you could use a tool that would let you &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/35744/allow-diamond-moderators-to-reverse-question-migrations&quot;&gt;reject migrated questions&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1243" OwnerDisplayName="Shog9" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:18.080" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Part of the problem is a few of the high reputation users do not understand Super User, and one idea to help improve this is to send an e-mail to all users with 3K+ reputation with the goal of explaining how Super User works, and the role these users play on the site. The content of the mail would be something along the lines of the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Dear Super User,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We would like to thank you for your contribution to the Super User website, and appreciate the time and energy you have put into being part of the site. As a high reputation user, your role on the site is &lt;strike&gt;slightly&lt;/strike&gt; more than just answering questions, and we would like to ask your help with the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Due to the larger audience Super User caters to, and the lack of understanding about the site, we would like to ask that you are vigilant with closing duplicate questions, and identifying questions that do not meet the criteria listed at &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/faq&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/faq&lt;/a&gt;. Unfortunately, there are currently a lot of these questions being answered rather than closed, which makes it hard to control the level and quality of the content on the site. Please keep in mind that the goal of Super User is to be a canonical source of information, linked by Google, with a single up-to-date question providing the most up-to-date answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;kind regards,&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  Super User Team and Moderators&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a few of the top users constantly answering these questions instead of closing them, and this has actually created friction, highlighted by various comments on answers. The problem is that it reflects negatively on the site as well as causing these users to stay away or even needing the diamond moderators to intervene. Honestly, the diamond moderators are just that, moderators, not psychologists. &lt;strong&gt;As pointed out by the answers, some of the existing regulars have already started to leave Super User because of this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead however of penalising users and potentially losing valuable members, there needs to be some way to encourage more positive interaction. However this can't be done unless these users are made more aware of the goals and functionality of the site, instead of it being treated as another forum.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thanks to Jeff&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So the real implied question is, how much direct coaching should be/is appropriate for the 10K+ users on a trilogy site?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;And how can we do indirect coaching, that is, make the software nudge them to do the right things and nudge them away from the wrong things?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some more recent examples of where these issues occur:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/103961/build-quality-of-laptops/103966#103966&quot;&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; answer on a question closed as subjective by the community caused some interesting comments.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/104956/nda-and-contract-template-for-uk-closed&quot;&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; question which is not computer related has 1 answer.

No one requests it, no one wants it, few people answer questions that are marked as such.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This behavior has to be changed, but moderators need to really crack the whip on this one. Good behavior should be rewarded by having a healthier community, not by throwing badges and rep at it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thinking about it, I think the whole concept of Super User is flawed. There's no direction, there's no clear-cut niche to fill, it's a dumping ground for anything even remotely IT related. We keep adding bullet points to the FAQ in the hopes it will somehow help things out. That's why it's failing; because that's the truth, it is failing, rotting from the inside. There's been endless discussion on meta about why SU's not working. There are simply no conclusions. Jeff doesn't really care about it (he's not involved in the site or the community that much), we can't change it because we only care about our own rep, leaving it to die.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We were left with a single active moderator (Diago) for the better part of 3 months.

Answers. I'd rather have a smaller, leaner, more focused Super User with users better prepared to handle the traffic that will inevitably come, than what it is today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This might come off as just a bitter rant against a whole community, but I don't want it to be that. It is my personal opinion, one that I have formed over the months I've been active in the Super User community. I am part of that community, part of both the problem and the answer.

And even doing that may be a bad idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your basic problem is that, unlike SO, SU has a far broader range of acceptable subject matter, while your user base is smaller (~50 users with 3k+, compare with SO where there are almost 500 users with &lt;em&gt;10k&lt;/em&gt;+)... This means that the rules are more open to interpretation, and there are fewer people interested and clued enough to intepret them properly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if you could get more of your 3k users on board with stricter interpretation,  I think you'd still have the basic problem.  The rules that work for SO do not work so well for SU.  Or, to put it another way, the problems that SO has are amplified and worsened on Superuser.  After all, if nobody were voting for inappropriate responses, then there would be no incentive for the behavior.  But this behavior &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; rewarded by the SU community, which is the root of the problem.  Having more 3k people setting a good example won't get you very far, I fear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, I don't think you can convince your userbase to shape up this far downhill from where the site started.  I think you have to either live with the status quo, or the rules are going to have to change.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Talking about changing the rules for SU is beyond the scope of this discussion, but suffice to say that that's not exactly an attractive proposition, either.  You could end up alienating enough of your userbase to effectively kill whatever progress you've made thus far.

We keep adding&#xA;  bullet points to the FAQ in the hopes&#xA;  it will somehow help things out.&#xA;  That's why it's failing; because&#xA;  that's the truth, it is failing,&#xA;  rotting from the inside. There's been&#xA;  endless discussion on meta about why&#xA;  SU's not working. There are simply no&#xA;  conclusions. Jeff doesn't really care&#xA;  about it (he's not involved in the&#xA;  site or the community that much), we&#xA;  can't change it because we only care&#xA;  about our own rep, leaving it to die.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We were left with a single active&#xA;  moderator (Diago) for the better part&#xA;  of 3 months. People might claim that&#xA;  they were active in the background,&#xA;  doing unglamorous janitorial work, but&#xA;  that's not true. There was one&#xA;  moderator, that's it! It's&#xA;  unacceptable to have one person left&#xA;  with so much work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Using traffic as the most important&#xA;  metric means that we're steaming full&#xA;  speed ahead towards a very successful&#xA;  clone of Yahoo! Answers. I'd rather&#xA;  have a smaller, leaner, more focused&#xA;  Super User with users better prepared&#xA;  to handle the traffic that will&#xA;  inevitably come, than what it is&#xA;  today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think that the whole concept of SU is flawed. It might have been at the beginning, especially with the &quot;let's dump not programming related trash there&quot; which could have been then. But right now, there are people determined to make this site count, and this site is pretty effective. There are plenty of questions which are answered, every day, and in a high quality way. I can't even ask questions on it myself, because most of the time, a single search on it shows me the answer already.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I agree that SU is different from other SO and SF sites, for a simple reasons, the target is wider, and wide to a range of users which doesn't really have an idea of what the site should head to, and who don't care anyway. &lt;strong&gt;It is easier to have such a Q&amp;amp;A site moderated only by its community when you cater only to programmers and sysadmins.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, if we want to keep SU clean, it will require more explicit moderation than other sites. As we target a wider audience, it is much more exposed to noise, even from its own regular users who will see their personal interest before the interest of the site. Even when there will be a lot of 3000+ users, it will still remain hard to keep it clean, because traffic will increase as well. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So yes, there should be several attempts to educate the regular users (with a mail, but also with regular comments on people's activity), but in general, Super User will require more explicit moderators&lt;/strong&gt;, in my opinion, to keep the site in a good direction.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm aware that it might sound like giving up a bit on the community, but the facts are here, for now. When there is no moderator online, questions which should be closed remain opened. There are not enough 3000+ even for now to close them, even if they would all agree, you will rarely have 5 of them at the exact same time. So maybe for a time during which people will earn enough reputation to reach 3000, there is indeed a need for a bigger moderation, to keep the site in a clear direction.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3110" OwnerDisplayName="Gnoupi" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:40.790" CommentCount="1" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-02-08T10:26:31.437" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The fact is, I do not know every question on SuperUser off by heart!...

Also, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/119500/alternative-to-web-of-trust&quot;&gt;what about this one&lt;/a&gt; from not long ago?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I just have a little problem with people who have been answering here - it really feels like you are blaming the top users when I don't think that we are (well most) to blame. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, I just want to say that it is easy for many people to say these things, but as a user - it is harder than you think! I am getting on to 1,800 answers, I can not honestly remember the last few answers I have given - and if another question came up, I would probably give the same or similar answer - unless it was worded exactly the same to remind me... &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I come from a forum/newsgroup background of simply answering questions - I think I have adapted and sorry if anyone thinks otherwise. In my honest opinion, this is not excluding repeat offenders but more responsibility has to be on the question asker to look for similar questions before they post...  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(I was going to say, why not also display related questions on the question page... I feel like an idiot, but I just seen it is there! I will do my bit and look there in future when answering.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is much more I want to say, but I have typed and edited for the best part of two hours and this is turning in to a rant and I really do not want that. If anyone wants to address any specific points, please leave comments and I will be happy to answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To change slightly, I wasn't sure if this deserves its own question (It is the sort of thing that I guess would of been discussed before) - but as this is about various problems on SuperUser, I thought it is best I write it here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A much bigger problem I have with Superuser is duplicate answers, I love the fact that on StackOverflow, I can get 3 duplicate answers that go in to great (different) detail. I have cancelled (or deleted) answers when I see someone else writing the exact same thing, but if I feel like I can give a detailed explanation, I think it is important to write it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;e.g. I say to use a tool along with a guide on how to use it. Whilst writing the guide, someone posts the same tool but just the name/link. I think it is ok to continue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would like an official answer on this... I never really had a problem with it (I say, let the votes decide who has the best answer, and the question asker decide if he wants the quickest or detailed answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was a real sticking point between me and another user on the site, not so much that I did it, but the fact that he/she would &lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt; write in comments whenever I did it... on a few times that I saw him/her do it and I would say the same, it would start with excuses and arguments... I know the arguments were annoying Diago and I felt really bad doing it...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It got to the point where I felt like leaving - in the end, I significantly cut down my time on the site... That user is now gone (after having similar arguments with other users as well), but I would still like to get other peoples opinions on this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit-&#xA;One theme I have seen many people saying is that people are doing this sort of thing just for reputation - I would like to say again, I come from forums/newsgroups and a selfless background, I would be here if there was no reputation, it is simply a very nice addition... however, to be honest, I feel rather depressed when I see the large number and then think how much work I could of got done!... but I am greatful for the breaks between calls/emails!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Now up to about 4 hours and by far, my longest answer on all the sites!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4386" OwnerDisplayName="Wil" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:40.790" CommentCount="3" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-03-13T15:02:11.933" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

So I can ask a question about Microsoft Office or OpenOffice.org, but I can't ask a question about Google Apps. He confirmed this, and after I pointed out that 34 pages (x50) of hits when you did a Super User search on &amp;quot;google&amp;quot;, he said that they would all be closed as they came up on the home page.  Notice that with other website type questions, you're probably looking at 20% of Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.codinghorror.com/about-me/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Coding Horror&lt;/a&gt;, Jeff has blogged about &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.codinghorror.com/all-programming-is-web-programming/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Web Applications&lt;/a&gt; and has stated what we all know, that they are pervasive and replacing normal software.

I think website &lt;strong&gt;application&lt;/strong&gt; questions are very relevant and should be allowed. The only difference between web applications and desktop applications is what's running the interface. They're both software that has to be used, and therefore the same type of questions come up for both.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We don't need to be fighting the future in our quest to clean up Super User.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt; I just had to ask a question about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Opera Mini&lt;/a&gt; browser, but I wasn't sure whether questions about browsers would be allowed, so I had to ask it on another site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT2:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/12/04/podcast-76/&quot;&gt;Podcast #76&lt;/a&gt; has a conversation between &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Spolsky&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Joel Spolsky&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Atwood&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Jeff Atwood&lt;/a&gt; about this topic, from appox. 25:00 to 30:50.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT3:&lt;/strong&gt; I've just received the email from Jeff that states &lt;strong&gt;that the moderators are doing what he wants&lt;/strong&gt;.

Super User has grown with regards to visits at a considerable rate, and even on the number of questions it is 500 questions away from overtaking Server Fault and is heading towards reaching Stack Overflow proportions most likely within the next year. The site is popular due to it's wide audience, and is starting to stand on it's own. This was all achieved in just over 6 months of the site existing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To have a look at the actual numbers&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[Total Questions]&lt;/strong&gt; 28,373&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total Unanswered]&lt;/strong&gt; 3,845&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total Closed]&lt;/strong&gt; 2,280&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Drilling down further and looking at the [WordPress], [GMail], [PS3], [iPhone], [Google] and [X-Box] tags as a sample:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[Total WordPress]&lt;/strong&gt; 125&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total GMail]&lt;/strong&gt; 284&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total PS3]&lt;/strong&gt; 27&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total X-Box]&lt;/strong&gt; 3&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total iPhone]&lt;/strong&gt; 477&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total Google]&lt;/strong&gt; 206&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;[Total Closed]&lt;/strong&gt; 350+&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;Totals as at the time of posting this answer&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please Note&lt;/strong&gt; I only looked at the tags on Super User since this is what we use to analyse the data with, &lt;strong&gt;not Google search results&lt;/strong&gt;. Without adding every tag, if I do a look at anything starting with Google, you could possibly add another 200 questions to the count above, therefore the figure is still less then 1% of all Super User questions.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Arguably I am not looking at every tag but these are the major once. Therefore we are splitting hairs over less then 1% of the questions asked on Super User, for which there is now a policy to disallow them. Therefore it is safe to assume that at least 90% of the questions asked on SuperUser does not involve a Web Application or Website.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The debate about what should be allowed has come up many times, and to be fair before I became a moderator on Super User, I provided answers to the web applications and console questions. It is extremely rare that I would close a question without one of three things happening:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is moderator flagged by someone with less then 3K reputation&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is flagged to be closed and on the moderator tools close page&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Jeff explicitly closes similar questions or makes a change to the policy in this regard.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The types of questions being flagged are reviewed and discussed, either on Meta (90% of the time) or otherwise between the moderators themselves. Not every flagged question is closed however this is rare, but I can say right now there is 3 questions on the close list I won't close because I don't agree that they should be. A feature I would love is for moderators to be able to clear close flags completely, but that's a different topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gaming, web applications and iPhone question policy was put in place because the &lt;strong&gt;majority&lt;/strong&gt; of moderator flags and close votes we have received in the past was for these questions. The problem on Meta is that the responses are slightly off since only around 1% of the registered Super Users actually participate or are even aware of Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, based on the figures, it doesn't make difference to the Super Users on the site whether we allow them or not. However for the moderators that have to keep the site clean, eliminating these reduces the amount of flags and questions we have to deal with regularly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly as pointed out by Jeff in a response to Lance via e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The moderators are following the policies set out by him, and doing what he wants&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We are the bad guys because our names end up on the closed questions, but we do our best to follow the guidelines and policies set out by management. In this case management is Jeff and the developer team. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please keep in mind that the diamond moderators are elected by you, however we do not receive any compensation to do this, and participate freely. We sacrifice our time, and at times our own reputation whoring, to do this. We are human and make mistakes, and I have often re-opened questions when proven wrong. I have also got no objection to the community re-opening questions closed by a diamond moderator, since it is the best indication of what they want, unless the question directly violates the policy of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3981" OwnerDisplayName="Diago" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:49.310" CommentCount="15" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

This silly circuitry actually forms the major basis of the regulation circuitry, and if you are using less than the full wattage of the power supply may be able to manage with significant undervoltage conditions without falling out of regulation on the output side.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a brownout occurs, the powersupply will attempt to deliver the rated current for as long as it can (based on the incoming voltage and current) and if it cannot maintain regulation it'll deassert the &lt;code&gt;Power Good&lt;/code&gt; signal going to the motherboard.  The motherboard is responsible for deasserting the &lt;code&gt;power on&lt;/code&gt; signal going to the supply, and if it does so in time, then the supply will drop all it rails and turn off.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the motherboard fails to do this, the powersupply should drop its rails when it falls too far out of regulation, but that is not guaranteed, and with low quality power supplies you may find your components and motherboard receiving undervoltage conditions as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What happens at that point depends on how robust those components are, but it's generally not a good thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1254" OwnerDisplayName="Pollyanna" LastActivityDate="2010-07-22T18:01:54.267" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

This post is to discuss the current conventions used for Ubuntu, and see if any change needs to be made.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, Ubuntu tags use the version number, instead of the release codename.  Codename tags occasionally get recreated and are usually replaced by hand, or occasionally get batch-retagged.  Here's a survey of Ubuntu-related tags in use:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/strong&gt;: [canonical]&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu], [kubuntu], [xubuntu]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu-8.04-lts], [ubuntu-8.10], [ubuntu-9.04], [ubuntu-9.10], [ubuntu-10.04-lts]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu-server]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu-netbook-remix]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some people seem to prefer the codename tags, so here are the alternate conventions for version-specific tags I can think of.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Version number&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(current convention)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu-8.04-lts], [ubuntu-8.10], [ubuntu-9.04], [ubuntu-9.10], [ubuntu-10.04-lts]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Short codename&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(occasionally get recreated)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[hardy], [intrepid], [jaunty], [karmic], [lucid]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Full codename&lt;/strong&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[hardy-heron], [intrepid-ibex], [jaunty-jackalope], [karmic-koala], [lucid-lynx]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Short codename, Ubuntu prefix&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(a la Debian)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[ubuntu-hardy], [ubuntu-intrepid], [ubuntu-jaunty], [ubuntu-karmic], [ubuntu-lucid]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My aim is consistency, so that SU doesn't end up with 47 different tags that all mean &lt;em&gt;&quot;Ubuntu 9.10&quot;&lt;/em&gt;.  I like the current convention, but I don't care which convention is followed.  If the community wants to settle on another convention, batch-retagging the existing questions won't be difficult, and I'll help keep it consistent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For comparison, here's how tags for Windows, Mac OS X and Debian are currently handled:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microsoft&lt;/strong&gt;: [microsoft]&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[windows]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[windows-xp], [windows-vista], [windows-7], ...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[windows-server], [windows-server-2003], [windows-server-2008]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[windows-xp-embedded]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple&lt;/strong&gt;: [apple], [mac]&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[osx], [mac-os]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[jaguar], [tiger], [leopard], [snow-leopard]  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[osx-server]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debian&lt;/strong&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[debian]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;[debian-lenny], [debian-squeeze]&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="quack quixote" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2010-10-01T12:15:52.663" Title="Super User tagging convention: Ubuntu and variants" Tags="|discussion|tags|retagging|" AnswerCount="5" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Seems arbitrary, and not the sort of distinction a user himself would make in the cloud age.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think it made good sense for the stackoverflow crew to break the collective computing knowledge pool down into domains of developers, designers, admins, and users.  But it seems to me the user site should be at least as inclusive to legitimate software usage as the original developer site is to anything remotely related to software development.  After all, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/84556/whats-your-favorite-programmer-cartoon&quot;&gt;#2&lt;/a&gt; and #3 most highly voted questions on stackoverflow are about &lt;em&gt;telling jokes&lt;/em&gt;...but that doesn't inhibit that site from being the best place on the web to get serious answers to anything a developer on any platform could want to know.  To the contrary, surely that general spirit of inclusiveness has helped it become the nexus it is today.  So why are we not aspiring to the same broad goals with the user site?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To extend the point: I could ask a question about writing a smartphone app on stackoverflow, but according to the superuser.com/faq, I can't ask about using a smartphone app on superuser.  Androids are already running everything from an FTP server to a remote desktop client...do I have to hook up a bluetooth keyboard before I can call it a &quot;computer&quot;? :-P  My point is that it's a murky distinction, and ultimately, I believe, a counter-productive one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="Dave" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:39:37.027" LastActivityDate="2012-08-19T16:44:51.087" Title="What's wrong with asking questions about web-based software on Superuser.com?"

I think it's more useful to devote as few tags to the OS as possible, unless the question is particularly about operating systems.  This leaves the other 4 tags for whatever the question is really about.  Customizing a theme?  Image editing?  Media players?  Media format conversion?  Partitioning a hard drive?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think most questions about solving a problem with an OS will be specific to the version of the OS.  Questions asking for software recommendations may be more general, but if you've got a problem with your network driver, it's pretty likely your question and its solutions will depend on what version of your OS you're using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We certainly &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; stuff all Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2XYZ, and Windows XP tags into &lt;strong&gt;[windows]&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;[windows-server]&lt;/strong&gt; tags, and likewise for Ubuntu, OSX, etc.  (&lt;strong&gt;[osx]&lt;/strong&gt; is already the defacto OS tag for Mac OS X; the &lt;strong&gt;[osx-codename]&lt;/strong&gt; variants are relatively scarce.)  It would be a simple process to batch-retag the various Windows and Ubuntu tags into their more general category; doing the opposite (splitting the OSX tag into the proper version-specific tags, or making sure everything tagged &lt;strong&gt;[windows-7]&lt;/strong&gt; is also tagged &lt;strong&gt;[windows]&lt;/strong&gt;) would be completely manual.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind the tag-search wildcards (eg &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows~&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[windows~]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; allow you to search all the OS variants at once.

We have:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/network-adapter&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[network-adapter]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (68) (&quot;&lt;strong&gt;[nic]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; is a synonym)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/sound-card&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[sound-card]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (56)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/expansion-cards&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[expansion-cards]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (8)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/raid-card&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[raid-card]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (1) (maybe a more general &quot;&lt;strong&gt;[storage-adapter]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; or &quot;&lt;strong&gt;[storage-controller]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; is more useful? &quot;&lt;strong&gt;[storage-card]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; sounds weird.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, these tags divorce the type of component from particular implementation details.  I think this is a good thing.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So a question about a USB wireless dongle (w/c/sh)ould be tagged &lt;strong&gt;&quot;[wireless] [usb] [network-adapter]&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; instead of &quot;&lt;strong&gt;[usb-wireless-nic]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; (or something similar).  There are already tags for the major buses: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/isa&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[isa]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pci&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[pci]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pci-express&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[pci-express]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/expresscard&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[expresscard]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pcmcia&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[pcmcia]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/usb&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[usb]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/firewire&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[firewire]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/sata&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[sata]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pata&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[pata]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (there's also &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/ide&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[ide]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; but that's generally used for development environments rather than storage technologies), etc.  (Right now the only major tag that diverges from this (to my current awareness) is &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/usb-flash-drive&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[usb-flash-drive]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which I think ought to be &quot;&lt;strong&gt;[usb] [flash-drive]&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;, but memory storage tags may need to be another discussion.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However&lt;/strong&gt;, calling these components &lt;strong&gt;&quot;cards&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; (as in the current &lt;strong&gt;[foo-card]&lt;/strong&gt; convention) is really a legacy terminology.  It's common but not always appropriate.  If these were USB devices, we'd probably call them &lt;strong&gt;&quot;adapters&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; instead of &quot;cards&quot;.  More specifically, we're usually talking about the &lt;em&gt;controller chipset&lt;/em&gt; that makes the device do whatever it's supposed to do, so &lt;strong&gt;&quot;controller&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; is probably the most accurate term.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, in the interest of consistency&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should &lt;strong&gt;[network-adapter]&lt;/strong&gt; be changed to &lt;strong&gt;[network-card]&lt;/strong&gt;?  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Or should all the &lt;strong&gt;[foo-card]&lt;/strong&gt; tags be renamed &lt;strong&gt;[foo-adapter]&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;[foo-controller]&lt;/strong&gt;? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Or is there another solution that will be easy to remember and consistent? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="quack quixote" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:46.450" LastActivityDate="2013-02-17T22:22:25.970" Title="SU tagging conventions: [videocard] vs [graphics-card], general PC component tags" Tags="|discussion|tags|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Your Superuser overlaps with my proposal ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I created &lt;a href=&quot;http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3924/unix-linux&quot;&gt;Unix &amp;amp; Linux&lt;/a&gt; for several main reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I knew it would be a little controversial and confusing. I wanted to see what the community would do with this proposal. The SE community is omnipotent and can fix any and all conflicts ;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SO, SF and SU all have overlap themselves. Many basic sysadmin questions could be asked on either SF or SU. If I Google for system administration questions, I'm often led to SO, because SO itself contains many system administration questions which are left over from before SF or SU existed. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/52379/area51-proposals-that-overlap-stackoverflow/55711#55711&quot;&gt;The Trilogy sites are too broad.&lt;/a&gt;, and are filled with noise. If I want to search for Linux or Unix questions, I don't want to have to wade through similar-but-irrelevant questions related to programming, Windows sysadmin questions, a PHP question which happened to be tagged 'Linux'.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I keep remembering the simple elegance of Usenet, many years ago. It was often easy to ask questions and find answers to my questions. Today we have all of these these big, broad, cluttered web-forums where you could ask many different types of question. In the Usenet days, it all felt better organized. Posters were encouraged to post the question to the appropriate forum, like comp.unix, or comp.os.ms-windows or rec.arts.disney. Maybe I want Usenet with SE's superior moderation system.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps this isn't the best strategy. Perhaps Unix &amp;amp; Linux itself is too broad, and it would be better to create smaller facets like &quot;Ubuntu&quot;, and &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://area51.stackexchange.com/error?aspxerrorpath=/proposals/9386/shell-hackers&quot;&gt;Shell-hackers&lt;/a&gt;&quot; instead.

I don't feel that &quot;power user&quot; encompasses enough people. There are plenty of people who use a computer on a regular basis and simply want to become more efficient. To me, these aren't &quot;power users&quot;; a true power user would be someone who you see using the command-line all the time, has automation routines for recurring tasks, and is comfortable to open the registry of a Windows OS and start hacking away. I think that the phrase &quot;enthusiast&quot; is sufficient for the scope and would bring SuperUser more in line with StackOverflow, which is designed for the professional programmer as well as the hobbyist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The descriptions of what StackOverflow and ServerFault are need work. &quot;Server&quot; has multiple meanings, depending on if you are talking to a system administrator/network administrator or a computer scientist/software engineer. Programming also has different meanings - writing automation scripts might be appropriate on SuperUser or ServerFault and not StackOverflow, depending on the exact context of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As new Stack Exchange sites open, I feel that it is important to potentially develop partnerships with them to offset some loads. A particular Stack Exchange that covers a subset of system administration/network administration/IT topics should be linked to in the official FAQ to ensure that people can get to the best possible venue to answer their questions.

(The other answers are right on what is on-topic or not, though. I really suggest you read our &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/faq&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt; before posting such &quot;let's change everything it doesn't work&quot; topics.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two important sides to keep in mind: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The community&lt;/strong&gt;: the group of people coming regularly, who are running the site, and providing a good half of answers.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They need a common topic, a common &quot;reason&quot; to stick on the site. For Super User, it's the fact to have a good place to ask computer questions, instead of losing hours searching on forums. This is also the reason which caught me, a year ago, and motivated me to help the site, by answering, and helping with moderation. This site is currently the best place, in my opinion, to ask about your computer related issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;About the new sites, they are indeed playing this community aspect, on a closer way than Super User. There, it's really the feeling of belonging to a place where people use the same thing as you (Ubuntu, Apple, etc.). I guess your point is that since it will gather people more closely, questions related have nothing to do on Super User anymore. And this is where the second side is important to understand the whole picture:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The people who just want an answer to their question:&lt;/strong&gt; the persons who are searching for a particular matter on a search engine, and find a Stack Exchange site. Or they will find an existing question, and the answers with it, or they will find the site, as a place to ask their specific question. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To these persons, it doesn't matter where they find their answer. If they search about a Ubuntu problem, they couldn't care less where they found the solution. They just want a solution. &lt;strong&gt;And as long as they find it on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange network&lt;/a&gt;, it means we are actually &quot;helping to make the Internet a better place&quot;™.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is why it doesn't matter if the sites overlap. Just because you have a site dedicated to Ubuntu, or Apple, doesn't mean you can't ask about them on Super User anymore. Super User welcomes all software and hardware questions (as long as they relate to your personal computer), that's the point of the site, that's its reason to be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to answer your question: &lt;strong&gt;no, Super User is not dying, and is not even close to dying.

For many (most?) people, the first step in finding an answer to just about any question is to google. If an answer can be found easily on Google, does that make it &lt;strong&gt;too&lt;/strong&gt; easy for Super&amp;nbsp;User?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do we want Super&amp;nbsp;User to become the first place people go for answers to questions related to computer use? Does Super&amp;nbsp;User 'compete' with Google in that sense?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Certainly, the quality of the answers on Super&amp;nbsp;User often exceeds what can be found elsewhere, and the idea of Super&amp;nbsp;User being more relevant than Google for finding answers in itself sounds appealing.

I voted to close it as &quot;not a real question&quot;, since it was just asking for comments on whether anybody had tried it out and &quot;what they thought&quot;. At the time that I voted to close, I posted a comment pointing out that no real question had been asked, and that it would likely be closed &lt;em&gt;unless it were edited to have a real question&lt;/em&gt; about SP1. The question was then edited, first a non-helpful edit by the original poster but then an edit by another user which turned it into a valid question. By the time this edit had occurred, the question had 4 close votes, but I figured since it had been edited to the point of being a real question, it would be worth answering since I had relevant information. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So here is my question then. Is it appropriate to answer a question which I previously voted to close, given that I feel it's been edited to the point of being an acceptable question? There's no way to retract a close-vote, or else I would have. The question was subsequently closed shortly after I answered, but not before the answer had been accepted. What is the appropriate protocol in a situation like this? I don't want to be seen as rep-whoring by posting an answer on a question I initially voted to close, but I also feel like it's reasonable to post an answer when a question has been edited to the point of being valid. Did I act reasonably in this situation, and in the future, how should I approach questions like this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, with this question specifically, I feel like it's now a good enough question that it might deserve re-opening, however a diamond mod cast the final close vote, so is there a reason I'm overlooking for why it is still a bad question? Is it due to SP1 being RC, or is the question itself still not within SuperUser's guidelines?

I decided to read the FAQ and noticed that &quot;a shopping or buying recommendation&quot; is considered off topic.  I guess that's the reason why the question was closed as off-topic, but if your read the question (and the thoroughly technical answer that followed), you'll clearly see that I wasn't asking for a &lt;em&gt;recomendation&lt;/em&gt; but rather trying to &lt;em&gt;understand&lt;/em&gt; the underlying technical specifications of computer monitors.  Sure, I intend to use that new-found understanding to make a purchasing decision in the future, but I don't think that using the word &quot;buy&quot; in the title necessarily means the question is about a &quot;shopping recommendation.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I imagine that if SuperUser allowed buying recommendation questions, the site would quickly devolve into another electronic deals site, so I understand why moderators would close questions that are asking for shopping recommendations.  However, I think the moderator could have done a better job of handling the question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I think if you read the question in detail, you'll realize it's not a &quot;tell me what to buy&quot; question as much as it is a &quot;help me understand this&quot; question.  Should this type of question really be closed just because it has the word &quot;buy&quot; in the title?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Perhaps the moderator could have left a comment about how I could modify my question to make it considered on topic.  I would have gladly modified my question so that it was more clearly on topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Instead of closing the question, someone could have edited the question to remove the reference to &quot;buying.&quot;  There was plenty of technical information in the question that it could have stood on itself without a reference to buying.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be clear, I'm not upset at the moderators for doing their job of &quot;cleaning up&quot; the content in the community; thier work is very much appreciated.

I feel that any question that is a Dupe and wasn't researched properly probably needs to be closed.

I feel that there can be power in duplicates as there are different views out there and different ways to ask and answer questions.  This is also what make the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1856/help-create-and-maintain-community-faqs&quot;&gt;community-faq&lt;/a&gt; such a powerful idea.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your opinion about the overlap between Super User and Apple.SE/Ubuntu.SE?

Their activity did not noticeably increase with their nominations.

And how would you plan on achieving this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; I like the way the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/stack-overflow-homepage-changes/&quot;&gt;Interesting Tab&lt;/a&gt; works for Stack Overflow, and would love to see it implemented on our site. While you &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/?tab=interesting&quot;&gt;can use it yourself&lt;/a&gt; I would love to see this implemented for everyone. As this is written with the purpose for high volumes sites, helping new users so that they return, maintaining the quality and promoting Super User are three things I can do to achieve this...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; How do you expect becoming a moderator will change or influence the way you use Super User?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; I will cycle through &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions?sort=newest&quot;&gt;newest questions&lt;/a&gt;, mod tools (flags, close votes, ...), &lt;a href=&quot;http://meta.superuser.com&quot;&gt;Meta.SU&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review&quot;&gt;/review&lt;/a&gt; and handle them appropriately; furthermore this well help me see more questions pass that I could answer, getting more questions answerd. And keep myself refreshed outside of that cycle I will still help on community-building activities like &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1856/help-create-and-maintain-community-faqs&quot;&gt;wikifying reccurent topics&lt;/a&gt;, chatting in our rooms and more... :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; What's your stance on duplicates and how should they be handled?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; Some users (mostly new ones) don't tend to read everything before asking their problem, as they don't know that our site provides enough search functionality they will continue to ask their question. I think that this behavior is OK... &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1379/see-possible-duplicates-in-question&quot;&gt;Using my user script&lt;/a&gt; it doesn't take much effort to look if his question is a duplicate so it's easy to help him show the duplicate. There are no statistics about this, but I think that the majority of the users does use the duplicate finder. The ratio of new questions that are duplicate probably reveals that...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way that I think it is appropriate to handle them: If it's clear that it's an exact duplicate, I will close the question (as there is no effort spend to search or check them) as such and ask to flag the question if the extra duplicate does not answer the question. If it's a possible duplicate, I will mention the duplicate and ask him if that resolves his question. I will maintain a &lt;em&gt;check later&lt;/em&gt; list for questions awaiting user action...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; What's your opinion about the overlap between Super User and Apple.SE/Ubuntu.SE? And when should questions be migrated from Super User to any of these other SE-sites?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; The overlap is fine, people continue to find our site and we shouldn't send the users around the network if our FAQ allows the question. Questions could benefit migration if our site lacks the activity and expertise to answer the question, I would explain and promote this to the user and ask him to flag the question for migration if he wants his question to have more attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; In no particular order: DMA57361, nhinkle, KronoS, Sathya&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, that's one too much, but I see all four often on the chat and site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's a hard choice to remove one from that list... They are all four worth it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Should we be afraid you'll burn out or become even more fanatic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; My guess is that I won't burn out as I love helping people (and thus the community), but I think nobody can tell without actually doing the work on a regular basis. Everyone burns out at some time, being it after several years due to a big change in life or when you get old...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Becoming more fanatic...

And when should questions be migrated from Super User to any of these other SE-sites?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've said before that I believe some overlap is perfectly acceptable, desirable even, because the sites attract different audiences and will develop very different community identities - having both (even with some overlap) means Stack Exchange gets a wider audience overall, and that has to be a positive!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think a migration in overlap cases is only necessary when the asker clearly doesn't align to our local identity and doesn't promptly receive a valid answer, and this is going to be fairly rare.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a hugely difficult (and therefore &lt;em&gt;excellent&lt;/em&gt;) question.

I'd like to implement something to encourage &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; users who already have the privileges to edit and close to do more of it.  I would also like to see more users rewarded for their work to make Super User a better place, moderators included.

I still do this today, by editing, flagging for moderator, and voting to close, among other things.

I recently participated in a discussion about duplicates and why they were useful: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/74596/why-arent-closed-questions-deleted/74597#74597&quot;&gt;Why Aren't Closed Questions Deleted?&lt;/a&gt;.  Simply put, I think that duplicates should be closed and are in many cases useful, because everyone thinks differently, and most duplicates can act like a 'bookmark' to the original question.  Also duplicated questions can produce some excellent questions that can be merged with the original question.  If the question is very similar to existing, or is just low-quality in general, I believe it should be deleted.&#xA;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What's your opinion about the overlap between Super User and Apple.SE/Ubuntu.SE? And when should questions be migrated from Super User to any of these other SE-sites?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Apple, Ubuntu, and Super User questions all overlap, but I've noticed that I/other users tend to have an &quot;instinct&quot; of what should go to the Apple/Ubuntu SE sites versus stay on Super User...If it is a specialized question and would probably get a lot better answers, I would move it to a more specialized site.&#xA;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;My first choice would be &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/4377/sathya&quot;&gt;Sathya&lt;/a&gt;.  He definitely deserves to be moderator and has been making Super User a much better place for some time.  He is fun, easygoing, and makes the moderation job look easy! As for second and third, I have to say that &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/20088/nhinkle&quot;&gt;nhinkle&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/34844/bloodphilia&quot;&gt;BloodPhilia&lt;/a&gt; tie...nhinkle is very patient and laid back (in a good way) with users; answering questions and dealing with issues without making them feel like they are less or not as knowledgeable than he.  BloodPhilia has a good sense of humor and manages to do humdrum tasks with a cheerful attitude and stance...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should we be afraid you'll burn out or become even more fanatic?&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I don't think we have to worry about that.

Apple.SE, Ubuntu.SE exist because these are dedicated to Q&amp;amp;A on the particular topics. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regd: Migration, I'll repost my answer when @ChrisF asked:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Do we want to have an option to migrate to AskUbuntu&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; This is bit of a yes-and-no situation. The option to migrate would be handy, but this might result in all questions being migrated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What I suggest is to let the question remain on Super User. If the question seems a bit tricky/convoluted , perhaps leave a comment stating that the OP might get better answers on Ubuntu ? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In alphabetical order:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;DMA57361&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;nhinkle&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;studiohack&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why ?

And how would you plan on achieving this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe the current Q&amp;amp;A paradigm used on Stack Exchange sites works quite well, and there are no significant changes I would like to see implemented which haven't already been brought up on Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I would like to change is the tech community's awareness of Super User. This site is an amazing resource, and the more avid technology users we get here asking great questions and writing great answers, the better. I've been involved in some discussions already about ways to increase our visibility, such as user contests, blogging, etc. I will continue to be a part of those discussions, and will bring new ideas to the table as they come to me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have also been a huge supporter of the Community FAQ initiative, and believe this is a great way to enhance Super User's collection of knowledge. Eventually, I would like to see the Community FAQ turned into an official feature. My &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1856/help-create-and-maintain-community-faqs/1864#1864&quot;&gt;more detailed thoughts&lt;/a&gt; on this are on meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you expect becoming a moderator will change or influence the way you use Super User?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Being a moderator will enable me to more efficiently do the assortment of tasks I do to help Super User, and will give me new abilities. Recently, I have focussed more on building the community and improving existing content than answering new questions, mostly because there are only so many questions I can answer. Being a moderator will give me more direct access to catching (and thus improving or removing) low-quality content, users who may need extra guidance, etc. I would also take advantage of the ability to edit any and all tag wikis, as I believe they are a useful but limited-availability (&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1867/make-editing-tag-wikis-more-available-to-experienced-users&quot;&gt;and hence underused&lt;/a&gt;) feature.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your stance on duplicates and how should they be handled?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some dupes are on topics which have been discussed so many times that closing the questions is the most logical solution. For questions like those, e.g. &amp;quot;How should I back up my computer?&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I have a virus, what should I do?&amp;quot;, etc., I think Community FAQs are a great way to avoid unnecessary dupes. Some dupes are more nuanced, though. I believe near-duplicates are OK if they generate high-quality answers which address those nuances, and aren't just rehashes of the previous questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your opinion about the overlap between Super User and Apple.SE/Ubuntu.SE? And when should questions be migrated from Super User to any of these other SE-sites?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a question is specifically off-topic for SU and is on-topic for one of the other sites, of course it should be migrated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a user asks their question on Super User and it's on-topic, I think it should stay. If the question is esoteric and more likely to be answered well by one of those more specific communities, or has not received any answers on SU after a reasonable amount of time, I think the user should be given the &lt;em&gt;option&lt;/em&gt; (by means of a comment by a mod or involved user suggesting they flag for a mod) of having their question migrated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are many qualified nominees, and it is difficult to single them out. I think nearly all of them would make great moderators. Here are a few of my top picks:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sathya:&lt;/strong&gt; Sathya is one of Super User's most dedicated members. He consistently provides high-quality answers, closes questions judiciously, edits appropriately, and leaves insightful comments for users. He is also active on Chat and Meta, and has been very involved in improving the Super User community. Of all the nominees, he is the most qualified and deserving of this position.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;And in no particular order...&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DMA57361:&lt;/strong&gt; A dedicated user who has demonstrated responsibility, fairness, and good decision making&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;StudioHack:&lt;/strong&gt; Has done a lot to help the community, such as prolific voting, lots of editing and improving tag wikis.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kronos:&lt;/strong&gt; Very involved with discussions about how to improve the community and move it forward. I particularly like his work with the SU blog.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should we be afraid you'll burn out or become even more fanatic?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wouldn't worry about it. I'm good at managing my time. I've invested a lot of effort in the Super User community, so I doubt I would burn out. I can't afford to let myself become too fanatic (if there is such a thing) thanks to school work, and I have good friends who would kick me back in line if I did start spending too much time here, but it's never been a problem yet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2011-01-22T21:54:48.593" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

And how would you&#xA;plan on achieving this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a technical and functional basis I think the site works very well and I am especially impressed on how the site renders on portable devices. I have previously touched on how the site might encourage question setters to return to their submissions and offer feedback and closure, but there is not a universal answer for this. Any change should be initiated by consensus, with ideas being sought from the community and then reduced to a smaller set for community voting, with the final decision on the top ‘x’ being made by the admins and mods based on the potential benefit of the change to the site.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you expect becoming a&#xA;moderator will change or influence&#xA;the way you use Super User?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I expect it will encourage me to be more regimented with my time on the site and to approach my visits on a more formal basis, ‘doing the rounds’ of the various sections which need attention, spending more time at the ‘back end’ on administrative tasks rather than with the questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your stance on duplicates and&#xA;how should they be handled?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once a duplicate has been identified, the nature of the overlap should be assessed and if all the answers are completely valid for all of the questions then they should be merged into one master question, with all others having a referring link to it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's your opinion about the overlap&#xA;between Super User and&#xA;Apple.SE/Ubuntu.SE? And when should&#xA;questions be migrated from Super User&#xA;to any of these other SE-sites?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There can be merit in having sites that are more focused on specific topics, but there is also a danger that this will fragment the user base into cliques that tend to stick to certain locations and won’t wander around bringing their wisdom to other areas. Overall, I think it would help to retain a more coherent community if the number of sub-sites was carefully controlled and limited, with questions relating to a specific category being flagged by the relevant tags. I would prefer that once questions are on one site they do not move elsewhere as this requires more mouse-work to get back to them later&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which three nominees do you think are&#xA;the most suited to become the next&#xA;moderators and why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a difficult question to answer as it depends on what criteria are considered to make a person ‘most suited’ – is it their ability to be present on the site for the most amount of time, the volume of answers they provide, the quality of answers they provide, their geological spread, their technical background, skill sets etc.? Without knowing the answers to all of the above, I will decline to answer this question, except to say that I think that this is a bunch of darn good candidates&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should we be afraid you'll burn out&#xA;or become even more fanatic?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No. You can rest easy on that one. I feel no compelling need to be on this site 24/7 and I come here to purely learn from others and share my knowledge, as others have done for me in the past, as a way of ‘giving back’ to the community at large.

Ivo Flipse said that he's already been going around and manually protecting more questions recently which garner a lot of &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;me too&amp;quot; answers, and it would be nice to lighten his load and have this done automatically to some extent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am proposing the following general criteria; please respond in answers/comments about how they might be tweaked:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Auto-protection for questions which:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Are at least &lt;strong&gt;1 month old&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Have either an &lt;strong&gt;accepted answer&lt;/strong&gt; with a score of at least &lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;at least 3 answers&lt;/strong&gt; (none accepted) with a &lt;strong&gt;combined score of at least 10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Have one or more answers with a score of &lt;strong&gt;0 or less&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Have at least &lt;strong&gt;5000 views&lt;/strong&gt; (upped from 200 as per Jeff's suggestion)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These questions would have received enough views to be popular enough to perhaps need protecting, and have some high-quality answers already. By checking to see if they already have at least one low-scoring post, we know that it's already been the target of the types of questions we try to prevent by protecting questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would lessen the work for moderators by reducing the opportunities for low-quality posts to be written in the first place, but would not prevent new users from contributing and starting to build their rep with newer questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What are people's thoughts? Would this be beneficial?

Of the top 10 results sorted by descending view count, 8 have already been protected. This would strongly suggest that questions of this type ought to be locked, since some moderator's going to have to do it eventually anyhow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorted by ascending view count, only 3 are protected (or locked), but many of the others had a large number of superfluous answers and maybe should be protected. It's less clear with these whether they should be automatically protected, though I don't think it would &lt;em&gt;hurt&lt;/em&gt; any of those questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If anyone wants to put together a more thorough data query, please do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Related Meta Stack Overflow discussion: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/57959/should-we-automatically-protect-all-questions-with-more-than-n-answers&quot;&gt;Should we automatically protect all questions with mote than N answers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2011-01-30T10:56:56.230" Title="Automatically protecting popular questions after a given amount of time" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'm also a bit concerned about pre-emptive protection -- if this site is supposed to be community driven, think of the hassle a new user will go through if they are trying to post an alternative answer. Technology, both hardware and software is ever evolving, just because an answer was the best answer that existed at the point the question was protected, does not mean that some time later an even better answer cannot come along. I've seen many new users come to the site simply because they want to help out by answering a question, and what constitutes a 'good' answer may change drastically over time. For example, if you asked me what was a good home operating system in 1989, my answer would differ greatly from my answer &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whilst I think this is a valid idea and I can see the good intentions behind it, these questions constitute a minority on Super User to the extent that I think the result will be more &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; for users than &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; for moderators.

You can also notify a ♦ moderator who closed&#xA;  the question. The question and answers are all considered&#xA;  independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on,&#xA;  or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by&#xA;  commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice &lt;em&gt;also&lt;/em&gt; participated in that&#xA;  answer), and vice versa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You must include &lt;em&gt;@name&lt;/em&gt;, where &lt;em&gt;name&lt;/em&gt; is a reasonable match to a&#xA;  user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in&#xA;  their profile are not notified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the first word in the display name is at least three characters&#xA;  long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at&#xA;  least three characters in the display name.  This means &lt;em&gt;@a&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;@ab&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;  will never match anyone,&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/61960/allow-for-comment-reply-to-usernames-with-less-than-three-characters-in-first-wor/75809#75809&quot;&gt;unless&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;  a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: &lt;em&gt;@Jo&lt;/em&gt; will&#xA;  notify Jo Miller, but not John, and &lt;em&gt;@B.&lt;/em&gt; will notify B. Gates, but&#xA;  not B.Gates. Users with a display name of just one or two characters&#xA;  are unnotifiable. If there are more than three characters in &lt;em&gt;@name&lt;/em&gt;,&#xA;  then all given characters must match (neither &lt;em&gt;@alix&lt;/em&gt; nor&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;@aliceinwonderland&lt;/em&gt; will match user Alice).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five&#xA;  people named John are participating, &lt;em&gt;@john&lt;/em&gt; will match the most&#xA;  recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spaces are removed &lt;em&gt;from the display names&lt;/em&gt; for matching purposes.&#xA;  So to match Peter Smith you may use &lt;em&gt;@pet&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;@peter&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;@peters&lt;/em&gt;, or&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;@petersmith&lt;/em&gt;.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also&#xA;  participating, who can then be distinguished using &lt;em&gt;@peterj&lt;/em&gt;. However,&#xA;  no spaces are allowed in the &lt;em&gt;@name&lt;/em&gt; itself. Like to notify P Smith,&#xA;  one must use &lt;em&gt;@psm&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;@psmith&lt;/em&gt;. (Here &lt;em&gt;@P Smith&lt;/em&gt; would be handled as&#xA;  just &lt;em&gt;@P&lt;/em&gt;, which is too short.)

No matter if it's open-source or paid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the main root, in my opinion, as to why shopping questions are so strictly monitored and closed.

I think this should be cleaned up. I would like to propose the following tagging recommendations for office questions; feel free to critique my suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions about a &lt;strong&gt;specific microsoft product&lt;/strong&gt;, like Word, should be tagged like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-word&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-word&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-word&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions that pertain to a &lt;strong&gt;specific version of office&lt;/strong&gt;, and would &lt;em&gt;not apply&lt;/em&gt; to all/other versions, should be tagged like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-office-2010&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-office-2010&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-office-2010&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions pertaining to &lt;strong&gt;any or many versions of office&lt;/strong&gt; should be tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-office&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-office&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-office&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A question could have several of these tags, e.g. it might be tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-office-2010&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-office-2010&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-office-2010&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-word&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-word&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-word&lt;/a&gt; if the question is about Word and is specific to the 2010 version. While more verbose than just &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-word-2010&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;microsoft-word-2010&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;microsoft-word-2010&lt;/a&gt;, it creates fewer redundant tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tags above which do not fall into one of those categories/naming schemes should be retagged and eliminated, &lt;s&gt;with the following exceptions&lt;/s&gt;: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/word&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;word&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;word&lt;/a&gt; might apply to some other things having to do with words, but posts with that tag should be manually checked and retagged if appropriate.&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;s&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/office&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;office&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;office&lt;/a&gt; might apply to questions about office environments.

(I considered clicking &lt;em&gt;community wiki&lt;/em&gt; as well, but that is no longer available by default.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then I was going to post both of the pronunciations as answers so that people can vote for the pronunciation they use.

This behavior is consistent with the Usenet of old and most &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ironically&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is completely contradictory to what @Attwood @codinghorror has been ranting for years.  He's all about &quot;the community, community, the community decides, ...fostering a friendly environment&quot; and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have 2 suggestions for the moderators which I think are low effort but high value:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just answer in a little more friendly way.  Writing a curt/abrupt message often comes off as rude and can piss off the user.  Simply - be softer and more friendly.  I can't imagine anyone would dispute it should be that way.  If there's disagreement from the moderators that their words are that way, I still say try to soften it up a bit and keep cognizant that this concern exists in the community.  &quot;Community...community...community&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the explanations for closing the questions are weakly explained.  I'm not necessarily saying that their reasoning is wrong, just that it should be explained in a way that leaves the poster feeling that they are satisfied in the end.  Certainly if the poster posted an inflammatory message or was a total dbag then that's a different story.  But unlike parents telling their children &quot;no because I said so&quot; when the child asks for something, adults are entitled to a more reasonable answer.  Simply - think about how you would feel if given the same answer.

Super User (one of the first three site on SE) is specifically designed for:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;computer hardware&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;computer software&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;and it is not about …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;videogames or consoles&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, except insofar as they interface with your computer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;a shopping or buying recommendation&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;straight from &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/faq&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super User is not alone, as &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/&quot;&gt;ALL Stack Exchange sites are moderated very, very strictly&lt;/a&gt;. The reasoning behind this is the fact that we do not want to become another low-quality Q/A site or forum (which SE is not).  This site is meant to be kept clean, clear, and open to everyone.  With these goals in mind it is absolutely essential to moderate each site strictly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When asking a question on Super User or any other Stack Exchange site, here are some guidelines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make sure that the question fits within the bound of the sites&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/faq&quot;&gt;FAQ&lt;/a&gt;.  Failure to do so will cause your question to more than likely be close.  I suggest to ALL new users to browse a little and look at the type of question being asked&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make sure that your question hasn't been already answered here&lt;/strong&gt;.  There are over &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions&quot;&gt;70,000 questions&lt;/a&gt; already asked here on SU.  More than likely, your question may have already been asked, and we don't want to be &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/01/the-wikipedia-of-long-tail-programming-questions/&quot;&gt;answering the same questions over and over again.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When asking a question be clear, precise, and give as much detail as you can&lt;/strong&gt;.   Content is HUGE here at SE.  This is why higher rep users can and will edit content &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/the-pee-wee-herman-rule/&quot;&gt;within other user's questions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shopping recommendations are absolutely not permitted here&lt;/strong&gt;.... let me say this again... SHOPPING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT PERMITTED HERE.  If you have a question about something that you want to purchase, consider instead asking questions that prompt &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;gain of knowledge&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/203186/laptop-battery-technology&quot;&gt;For example&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally is your question something that will bring good, and new content to the site&lt;/strong&gt;.  Yes, there is no such thing as a stupid question, but there is such a thing as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple/&quot;&gt;simple question&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="47225" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.537" LastActivityDate="2011-03-03T18:13:43.457" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

However, that simply has not been true at all times. I know for certain that at one point questions migrated from SF to SU caused me to lose the SF rep and gain the same amount of reputation on SU.

Why don't we use the blog to answer questions like these, where an explanation/answer is difficult to come to without a ton of explanation? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once a blog post has been written and approved by experienced users, we could start linking questions of the such to the blog post for general answering thus leaving more room to focus on the specifics of the question the OP has.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOTE: If the community thinks this is a good suggestion then I will post regarding proper procedure&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="47225" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:06.730" LastActivityDate="2011-03-29T18:29:44.033" Title="Is the Super User Blog the new 'Generic Question Community Wiki'?"

But there is typically a high standard of illegality, especially in the United States (the most relevant jurisdiction as far as Stack Exchange is concerned, since its servers and most of its staff is in the US). Explaining how to kill someone may get you in trouble. Helping someone repair their car typically won't, even if that person drives without a license afterwards. Use your judgement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my experience (of Stack Exchange and elsewhere), many people want to restrict technical discussions for reasons that have little to do with laws. I often see knee-jerk reactions such as: if you try to bypass a firewall, you're a bad person; if you reverse-engineer software, you're a bad person; if you try to hide something from your employer, you're a bad person; if you try to snoop on your employees, you're a bad person (there's no pleasing some people). These reactions are often based on lack of knowledge or understanding of relevant laws (all of these actions are legal in the US and elsewhere in some circumstances).

Google? yourself? the mods? I think we should probably visit the definition of obscure as well. For example if you can find it in the first page of a Google search does it count as obscure?

As Jeff mentioned &lt;strong&gt;there isn't any &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple/&quot;&gt;other useful general refence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that fits the purpose well enough.

The two other requirements are indeed mostly on the same line as the above two paragraphs.

And thus it requires the OP to learn from the experience of experts in the DD-WRT niche...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the HTPC question reviews that mention which keyboards / mouses fit well in a HTPC context are hard to find, there aren't much up-to-date general references that helps you with this either.

StackExchange sites use CC BY-SA 3.0, so using it on the blog too seems natural (and possibly even implicitly assumed by others). What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;The &quot;problem&quot;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My real concern though regards reposting own content from or to the SUB. While I don't have any posts there, I was asked to consider writing one. I am happy to contribute to StackExchange ecosystem greatness, but would like to pick Super Users' brains to figure out some good practices that will be useful also for future writers/reposters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the author I can obviously do whatever I want with texts I write, publish them wherever I can and using whichever license suits my current mood. That thing alone makes my question theoretically useless. BUT. Some minimal rules could be enforced and written down. Even if they are partially stating obvious things, that's ok - reassuring uncertain writers is a good thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You must be aware that some users are concerned about their own content and want to put almost everything they create in one place, like homepage, blog, etc. (Even if my site+blog is almost dead atm, I'm planning to totally rework it, especially for content-oriented features and for instance allow browsing my comments I considered valuable a bit, but which are normally left on various sites and therefore not easily searchable.) It doesn't mean they're overprotective (I lost some texts put somewhere in the past) or overfussy, it's just internet which is getting less and less trustworthy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Questions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, here are the main items that should be answered. Mind that it's not about discussing CC BY-SA, but &lt;em&gt;good practices&lt;/em&gt; that can, should or will be applied to SUB.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should reposting from the SUB be discouraged?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;It depends in my opinion on who reposts. If it is the author of the text on SUB I don't see any reason why reposting to her/his own blog/page should be seen as &quot;inappropriate&quot;. It's perfectly understandable action. But if reposter is someone else, then it's not that good. Why? Author will fix any spotted mistakes, may improve content in future and so on. While CC BY-SA allows reposting content by someone else as long as attribution exists, it usually won't be updated. Therefore reposting by non-authors usually should not be encouraged.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should reposting to the SUB be allowed?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;From what I know there is some QA process available before posting anything in SUB. This should assure that high quality will be kept. As long as original post is good enough, I don't see any problem w/ repost. If it should be improved before (like typos, not deep enough coverage of particular subject, etc.), reviewer may ask for fixing this or that and author will (at least should) happily do it (presumably also in her/his original text to avoid unnecessary divergence).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should mentioning where original post was published be allowed in the SUB?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;It's important question. I don't think it would damage SUB image in any way, but would encourage some writers to post on SUB, because of blog/page promoting behind the scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should author of content reposted to SUB be encouraged to add information in the original post that it was reposted to SUB?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;It's a thing that just came to my mind.

When AV companies have all this marketing saying how viruses and malware are so prevalent but MS doesn't offer any real protection, it looks extremely bad.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Simply put, MS's customers shouldn't have to pay a third party extra money just so the OS is secure when they're already paying ridiculous amounts of money for the OS itself.  It makes MS look like they don't care about their customers.  Whether they actually care or not is irrelevant, but looking like you don't care is absolutely fatal.  MS might be a monopoly, but that doesn't mean they don't need to worry about competition from Apple or Ubuntu.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The horribly shoddy programming that most AV programs suffer from which cause tremendous performance issues also makes Windows look bad.  What good is it to get the shiny new computer with the shiny new OS if it's going to run just as slow because of the same shitty AV program?  Remember when Norton was good, and now it's shitty bloatware?  Remember when AVG was good, and now it's shitty bloatware?

I think website &lt;strong&gt;application&lt;/strong&gt; questions are very relevant and should be allowed.

The site is popular due to it's wide audience, and is starting to stand on it's own.

Without adding every tag, if I do a look at anything starting with Google, you could possibly add another 200 questions to the count above, therefore the figure is still less then 1% of all Super User questions.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Arguably I am not looking at every tag but these are the major once. Therefore we are splitting hairs over less then 1% of the questions asked on Super User, for which there is now a policy to disallow them. Therefore it is safe to assume that at least 90% of the questions asked on SuperUser does not involve a Web Application or Website.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The debate about what should be allowed has come up many times, and to be fair before I became a moderator on Super User, I provided answers to the web applications and console questions. It is extremely rare that I would close a question without one of three things happening:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is moderator flagged by someone with less then 3K reputation&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is flagged to be closed and on the moderator tools close page&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Jeff explicitly closes similar questions or makes a change to the policy in this regard.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The types of questions being flagged are reviewed and discussed, either on Meta (90% of the time) or otherwise between the moderators themselves. Not every flagged question is closed however this is rare, but I can say right now there is 3 questions on the close list I won't close because I don't agree that they should be. A feature I would love is for moderators to be able to clear close flags completely, but that's a different topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gaming, web applications and iPhone question policy was put in place because the &lt;strong&gt;majority&lt;/strong&gt; of moderator flags and close votes we have received in the past was for these questions. The problem on Meta is that the responses are slightly off since only around 1% of the registered Super Users actually participate or are even aware of Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, based on the figures, it doesn't make difference to the Super Users on the site whether we allow them or not. However for the moderators that have to keep the site clean, eliminating these reduces the amount of flags and questions we have to deal with regularly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly as pointed out by Jeff in a response to Lance via e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The moderators are following the policies set out by him, and doing what he wants&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We are the bad guys because our names end up on the closed questions, but we do our best to follow the guidelines and policies set out by management.

We sacrifice our time, and at times our own reputation whoring, to do this. We are human and make mistakes, and I have often re-opened questions when proven wrong.

I understand that having your first question closed can be a confusing experience for a new user, so let me explain the proper procedure. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First of all, if you think your question is valid, you can try contacting the moderator either by posting on Meta or on asking in Chat (if you have enough reputation). We have a specific &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/114/ask-a-super-user-moderator&quot;&gt;Ask a Moderator&lt;/a&gt; chat room. Alternatively, you can edit your question by clicking the &lt;code&gt;edit&lt;/code&gt; link right under it, and adding more details to flesh out the question and improve it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moderators are people, too. We can make mistakes. If the &lt;em&gt;original&lt;/em&gt; question was closed in error, then that is something that is reasonable to discuss.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; OK is reposting your question several times. I know this may not seem intuitive at first, but now you know. If you need to add more info, edit your original question, don't repost it. Random was absolutely correct to close the repeated questions as duplicates - the asker even said in those questions that they were duplicates with more information. To add information, edit, don't repost.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally - and this applies to &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; of you - please try to be more considerate. Moderation is not an easy job. We have to wade through tons of spam, low-quality posts, and other problems every day. When you call moderators names, mock them, and insult them, you're drastically lowering the chances that we will take kindly to your requests for reconsideration on your questions. Respect is required in this community, and users who are disrespectful may find themselves asked to take a break for a while.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastActivityDate="2011-06-19T21:16:16.450" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Current migration stats (2013-09-08), &lt;em&gt;not counting rejected migrations&lt;/em&gt;, are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Web Apps (68) *&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Android (53) *&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SO (45) *&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SF (25) *&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple&lt;/strong&gt; (16)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Pro Webmasters (10)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unix (4)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Entries marked with * are migration paths. Obviously, those have been changed to the better since the original request.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, the situation with Apple/Android changed a lot, the latter now is one of our most used migration paths. The 5th should be reserved for MSU, so I don't see what we could improve here. And this doesn't even consider the danger in enabling unnecessary and unrequested migrations of questions that are on topic here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Original request (2011-06)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It might be a good idea to have &lt;a href=&quot;https://apple.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Apple.SE&lt;/a&gt; as selectable question destination when voting to close.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We get enough off-topic questions on &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/iphone&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;iphone&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;iphone&lt;/a&gt; and related tags (one topic every two days or so). It might lead to interesting iPhone/iPad/iOS questions finding a new home while possibly reducing moderator workload (manual migrations/flags for this reason).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be clear: I want the questions that are on-topic on this site to stay; unlike what &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1631/it-annoys-me-that-theres-an-apple-se-but-so-many-apple-questions-on-su&quot;&gt;this user&lt;/a&gt; asked for.

You &#xA;  agree &lt;strong&gt;not to install&lt;/strong&gt;, use or run the Apple Software on any &lt;strong&gt;non-Apple-branded computer&lt;/strong&gt;, or to enable others to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have agreed that the following questions are definitely off-topic on SU:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How to install OS X on a PC (i.e. non-Apple hardware) &amp;ndash; basically, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1381/banned-tag-proposal-hackintosh&quot;&gt;Hackintosh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How to install OS X as a virtual machine running on a PC&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can also agree that the following is on-topic (because it's allowed):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How to install OS X Server as a virtual machine&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;A case that is not so clear&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But there is one case where the people posting the question think they are in the right to do so:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How to install OS X as a virtual machine running &lt;strong&gt;on a Mac&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They think that it is legal, as they are still running on Apple hardware. They quote an &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/karim/entry/installing_mac_os_x_in&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Oracle blog entry&lt;/a&gt; that basically says it is legal.

I am no expert in legal issues, but I was under the impression this is still not allowed, as you are basically installing on virtualized hardware that is not made by Apple. OS X checks for Apple hardware during installation and therefore I believe some hacking &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; needed to get that running.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, it all boils down to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should we allow questions about this?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Or should we close them?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What do you think? My understanding was that in the case of a legal grey area &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1471/are-hackintosh-questions-allowed&quot;&gt;we should not encourage such questions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:06.730" LastActivityDate="2014-04-23T09:11:41.447" Title="How should we act upon &quot;Install OS X as virtual machine&quot; questions?"

Even Apple.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think there &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be questions for which these vendor tags &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be useful&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;about the &lt;em&gt;integration&lt;/em&gt; of different technologies by the same vendor, like e.g. iTunes/iPod/iOS/Mac OS X (combined e.g. with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/sync&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;sync&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;sync&lt;/a&gt;?) for Apple; that would exhaust the tag count limit too easily. The same with very few other vendors, such as Microsoft (anyone else?)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It also helps to refer to more obscure products in combination with other tags, as for example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/629/apple-wireless-aluminium-keyboard-on-windows&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/172658/anyone-know-how-to-modify-settings-for-the-apple-magic-trackpad-on-windows-witho&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Since the site supports looking up topics with specific tag combinations, this could prove useful for vendors that don't warrant their own product tags, like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/apple&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;apple&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/laptop&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;laptop&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;laptop&lt;/a&gt; instead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macbook&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macbook&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macbook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you're looking for a solution to a problem of yours from a specific vendor (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/vmware&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;vmware&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;vmware&lt;/a&gt; comes to mind). But why ask here instead of calling their sales hotline?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But&lt;/strong&gt;, checking the more popular questions in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/apple&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;apple&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt; tag, I can't help but notice that &lt;em&gt;almost all of them would work just as fine without these tags&lt;/em&gt; — &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; gets 90% of these topics, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/apple&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;apple&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt; doesn't add anything for these.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Vendor tags just doesn't provide enough information on its own. I can actually see that a question is about the Apple Cinema Display without using &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/apple&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;apple&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/display&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;display&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;display&lt;/a&gt; is enough here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, one has to ask whether tagging questions with a vendor name helps in &lt;strong&gt;organizing questions&lt;/strong&gt;. For example, if I were to be interested in either learning about or helping others with &lt;em&gt;vim&lt;/em&gt;, I could check out &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/vim&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;vim&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;vim&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But a tag for some vendor? Let's face it, just because I own an HP laptop doesn't mean I want to read or answer questions about LaserJets. Companies rarely make a single product or line of products, and if they do, there's a tag for the product already.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/apple&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;apple&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt;, which is somewhat useful according to @JeffAtwood, probably because the most popular products are rather closely related, encompasses&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Desktop and mobile computer hardware &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot;

This is a Q&amp;amp;A Site. If you have a need for extended discussions, then either a set of question/answer edits is due (thus negating the usefulness of the comments that were indicative of the need for change) or the comment thread is off topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The comment thread could be turned into useful edits so that other people will benefit and don't have to read a reply-like comment thread to find more details. If there in no benefit in terms of questions and answers, your comments can be considered noisy as they show up between the answers. Even though they are limited, some people still expand and read the comments. We should assure they are useful...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Comment threads aren't designed for back-and-forth discussing as that's what the chat is for but they are solely meant for comments on your answer so that you can improve it (hence, the word &lt;code&gt;comment&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, this algorithm doesn't necessarily kick in after each 6 comments:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Having said that, the message is only triggered when it detects a repeated back and forth between two people in a short period of time. So if it's just two people going back and forth, that's either a thread-war, or it's just a conversation between two blokes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have multiple people commenting, it will take a lot more comments total before this would trigger. However, we could tell that if two people respond thrice in half an hour of time it does trigger...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mod flags &lt;em&gt;could be&lt;/em&gt; triggered automatically to handle more off-topic:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also suspect (altho I've no proof) that it triggers a mod flag once that occurs so a mod can make sure that the discussion doesn't need to be cleaned up. As that is one of the responsibilities of the mod team (to clean up the garbage aka the things which just clutter the site) then I suspect this is also happening.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although this is purely speculation, someone should verify (or even implement) this...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Last, it's meant as a prevention (and is only shown to you both I belief):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's just a message to let you know that chat might work better for your discussion. Comments don't work as well for long discussions, but they are for discussion, so you can use them that way. Try and keep the discussion about the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just imagine what would happen with a preventive message that triggers much later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2011-06-26T22:31:56.617" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Tags only exist as ways of organizing questions, so if we don’t provide proper guidance on which questions need this tag, they won’t get tagged at all, rendering the tag excerpt moot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The idea that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/email&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;email&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;email&lt;/a&gt; tag wiki should explain what email is (or that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/excel&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;excel&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;excel&lt;/a&gt; tag should explain what excel is), is completely incorrect. In the case when the topic is obscure &lt;em&gt;by the standards of the particular site&lt;/em&gt; then it might be OK to explain what it is, but for things like Excel and Email on Super User -- there's no way these need to be explained beyond the very briefest three word descriptions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2011-06-26T21:11:25.843" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And of course, administrators and high rep users will have the ability to edit this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If cross posted, a tag like the [migrated] or [closed] could appear at the end of the question.

You are trying to &lt;strong&gt;falsify&lt;/strong&gt; your claim that they apparently sniff your passwords.

Afterall, it's not inherently dishonest to be completely wrong. ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An iPad is also a &quot;computer&quot;. As a computational device, iPads are very very similar to iPhones. They are fabricated with different use cases in mind, but architecturally they're profoundly similar.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The root of this discussion is entirely a matter of definition.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The term &quot;Computer&quot; has become extremely ambiguous in the modern context. In a historical sense, a &quot;Computer&quot; was actually a person who would solve math problems. Obviously, no one here is concerned with that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Wikipedia article on &quot;Computers&quot;&lt;/a&gt; has a fairly accurate strict definition of 'Computer':&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A computer is a programmable machine designed to sequentially and&#xA;  automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical&#xA;  operations. The particular sequence of operations can be changed&#xA;  readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mr. Alan Turing&lt;/a&gt; is generally considered the father of modern computer science due to his creation of the Turing Machine, which provided the conceptual framework upon which all modern computers are based. A Smartphone is as much a turing machine implementation as an x86 derived device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Smartphones have become characterized by their general computing abilities. The emergence of HTML 5 will further close the distinguishing gaps between smartphones and desktop/notebook machines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, most people tend to think of &quot;Computers&quot; as x86 machines running a &quot;Desktop&quot; Operating System (Win XP, Apple's OSX, Ubuntu Linux, etc). Granted, they may generally not realize that's what they have in mind. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The use of BIOS/EFI, as a hardware abstraction interface for software is a major architectural property that leaves a notable distinction between how operating environments operate on an x86 machine versus an ARM machine (and related machines often implemented in the Smartphone space). I think it's fair to speculate this distinction will be resolved within the next several years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By strict definition &quot;smartphones&quot;, certainly are computers. And they are extremely comparable, across the range of machines that constitute &quot;Computers&quot;, to x86 machines (as used for Desktop and Laptop computing devices). However, in the context that the general population applies the term &quot;Computer&quot; (by which they mean something running a desktop operating system), a smartphone presently falls outside of the context of the term.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As Smartphones continue to develop, we will very soon see this distinction evaporate. With the emergence of cloud computing, improved network communications, HTML 5 and more efficient hardware (in all dimensions), the tasks that we use Desktop Computers for will expand well beyond such devices and be driven by a wider range of devices - all of which will always fall within the strict definition of what a Computer fundamentally is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In closing, none of this really matters anyway. It's entirely a matter of definition. If enough people band together and decide the meaning of a term, then the rest tend to accept that definition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="86912" LastEditorUserId="86912" LastEditDate="2011-07-11T23:02:18.893" LastActivityDate="2011-07-11T23:02:18.893" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Now, editing tags only is fine. There was no suggestion involved here. But hypothetically, if there were just a small typo fix: Should we accept such an edit suggestion that only edits tags and apart from that does nothing to help a post?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that I have nothing against that particular user. Diogo, I'm sorry for picking these examples, but those were the ones I found immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, editing is very subjective. But in some cases it's very clear that there is more to do than just fix a letter or a tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I welcome every edit suggestion, but in my humble opinion the +2 points you get for it aren't really justified if they are &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; trivial.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also see the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/in-defense-of-editing/&quot;&gt;Stack Overflow Blog&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are going to edit a post, make sure you’re substantively&#xA;improving it.

Putting there some Microsoft product ad is perfectly acceptable and on-topic. Whether it gets voted or not, is another matter.

But rather several discussion threads (or a new web interface altogether) each pertaining to a specific product type (apps, site twitter, cool events, etc). This would allow for different topics to become more visible to potential promoters and could allow for server-side weighting scripts based on ad type (with product placement definitely not being the focus).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10971" LastActivityDate="2011-07-18T03:19:29.417" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It wastes moderator time when there are flags that should close votes; this is probably why your flag was rejected, even though the question was closed.

In this case, dismissing the flag is a borderline decision. If you had included a link to where the double post was, then it might have been useful, but it was probably rejected for that reason. In this case, the question was closed as off topic, because iPhone questions are not permitted on Super User. You mentioned &quot;probably better on another site&quot;, so you must have understood that it's off topic.

I encourage you to &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/03/respect-the-community-your-own-and-others/&quot;&gt;read the whole thing yourself&lt;/a&gt;, but here are the most relevant excerpts:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As members of a community, your first loyalty should be to that community. &lt;strong&gt;When evaluating a question, you shouldn’t be looking to push it off on some other site; instead, ask if it could be appropriate and on-topic for you&lt;/strong&gt;, the experts who the author decided to ask. Be a bit jealous of your site – &lt;strong&gt;don’t blithely turn askers away simply because their question could be asked somewhere else&lt;/strong&gt;. Don’t hit them over the head with your scope, help them tailor their question to fit into it – and if that means your site’s scope overlaps a bit with another site’s, so be it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, there are questions you’ll have to turn away, either because their only connection to your site is via the audience (“How do I make bread as a programmer?”), because it’s completely off-topic (“How do I cook a fish in a dishwasher?” obviously belongs on Cooking, not Home Improvement) or because they’re simply not useful or constructive. But that should be your &lt;strong&gt;last resort&lt;/strong&gt;. Close questions with an eye toward improvement and re-opening, not driving users away.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And for you Apple.SE, AskUbuntu, and other folks who come here looking to grab some new questions...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t attempt to scavenge on-topic questions from other sites by asking the moderators there to migrate them to yours&lt;/strong&gt;. Again, there’s no harm in leaving a comment suggesting that a question would be a better fit somewhere else. But focus first on the questions that aren’t on-topic, or aren’t getting answered – snatching someone’s question (or answer) away without any forewarning is a slap in their face&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We want &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; OS X questions, not fewer. In fact, there is no reason why Super User shouldn't view the inception of Lion as a good opportunity to bring new visitors to our site as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The only times a user should be encouraged to have their question migrated to Ask Different&lt;/strong&gt; are if the question is one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;off topic here, but on topic there&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;getting very few views and no good answers, and you believe it might get better answers there&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the user who asks the question requests it to be moved because &lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt; think it would do better there&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ask Different is a great site. They have a good community of knowledgeable Apple users. However, it is their own responsibility to recruit users, and Super User is not really the appropriate place to do that. You don't see prolific Super Users going over to Ask Different and posting &amp;quot;actually this question is on topic for Super User, you should move it over there&amp;quot;. Furthermore, some users choose SU over AD because they are more familiar with SU, or because of the differences in the feel of the community. This choice is up to the user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition to being rude to the SU community, &lt;strong&gt;it is also rude to the new users asking the questions&lt;/strong&gt;: if we are trying to recruit new users, then by arbitrarily shuffling their questions around to other sites — when they're on-topic here — creates a confusing and irritating user experience. We want new users' interactions with the Stack Exchange community to be positive, and jumping on them for posting &lt;em&gt;in the right place&lt;/em&gt; is more likely to drive them away from Stack Exchange completely than to convert them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-03-22T19:37:05.513" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Please don't take it personally, I am just trying to explain why it's probably not as suspicious as you might think.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/311039/xml-xhtml-sgml-and-html&quot;&gt;XML, XHTML, SGML and HTML&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/308487/processor-register-and-io-register&quot;&gt;“Processor register” and “IO register”&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/308274/what-determines-endianness&quot;&gt;What determines endianness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why have you received downvotes on those? Well, ever since voting on questions became &quot;free&quot; for the user casting the vote (i.e. by not losing any reputation), it became easy to downvote a question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons for doing so (it says so in the downvote button's caption):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;This question does not show &lt;strong&gt;research effort&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... which can be argued is the case in some of these questions. Note that I did not downvote any of your questions, but other users might think they fall under that category. Also, take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/how-to-ask&quot;&gt;How to Ask&lt;/a&gt; guide:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you ask a vague question, you’ll get a vague answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... and of course &lt;sub&gt;(emphasis mine)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Have you thoroughly searched for an answer before asking your question? &lt;strong&gt;Sharing your research&lt;/strong&gt; helps everyone. &lt;strong&gt;Tell us what you found&lt;/strong&gt; and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... and, last but not least, from the FAQ:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;You should only ask practical, answerable questions &lt;strong&gt;based on actual problems&lt;/strong&gt; that you face&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize, if a user reading one of these questions thought they might not meet the quality standards or guidelines of the FAQ, you'll get a downvote. It happens.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now let's see the other two you've mentioned:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/49114/kill-all-processes-of-a-user-except-a-few-in-linux&quot;&gt;kill all processes of a user except a few in linux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/310742/text-processing-convert-text-of-table-of-content-into-djvu-bookmark-format&quot;&gt;Text processing: convert text of table of content into djvu bookmark format?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For those, it's not &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; obvious anymore why somebody would downvote those. In fact, I upvoted your second question because it's a valid and practical one, based on an actual problem, and it might also be useful to others. The other one, well, you will have to live with that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe it has happened to all of us.

But it's this imbalance that must have you prepared to that type of voting pattern you experienced.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also quite visible that, contrary to even an year ago, questions do not often get upvoted. I've been seeing more and more questions, with quite a few answers on some instances, sometimes even with an accepted answer, and often with a considerable number of views, and no one -- not even a single soul -- upvoted the question. It's a sad state of affairs that is only bound to increase I'm afraid, and that is going to slowly corrode at this place. It denotes a certain hostility towards people asking questions, even if unintentional. Especially when coupled with all the other problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We just don't properly reward the inquisitive in here. And that will cost us. Let's hope I'm wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyways, what this all means is that when asking questions, downvoting patterns will be much harder for you or anyone else (including moderators and any detection scripts) to properly identify as ill-intent. There's too many subjectivity around this matter to allow anyone to confidently be accused of abusive behavior, for one. And there's too many reasons for one to get downvoted when asking questions and too little to be upvoted, for another. As an example of the latter, take a look at old questions (circa 2010 and 2009) and what we used to allow to happen here and the type of behavior we have today. Most of those top voting questions would be torn to pieces by today's... erm, standards. Particularly this curious one; the &quot;do your research before asking&quot; one. You can bet a lot of this place would be much quieter if people actually did that research. Everyone would probably leave and Superuser would close because serving 5 or 10 questions a day isn't sustainbale (if that much, since most days I can count only one or two questions that actually showed said research effort). So should we downvote any question that doesn't include proof of any research being done? There's a lot of downvoting to be done there. Well, I think not. I don't even think this rule makes any sense whatsoever. It just contributes to introducing a gray area where everything is pretty much allowed.

These types of questions are not helpful for a variety of reasons. For one, they become obsolete very quickly. For two, they're only really useful to that one person, because hardware is so specific to the individual's needs. Shopping recommendations like this are off topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A hardware recommendation can be a shopping recommendation, but can also ask about how to find hardware. This distinction is outlined in &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;this Stack Exchange Blog post&lt;/a&gt;. It suggests that questions looking for hardware be presented in more of a &quot;how can I figure out for myself which widget will fit my needs&quot; manner. This type of answer takes more work, but instead of dumping a list of products which will soon be obsolete, provides much more valuable information about how to figure that out for yourself. These types of hardware discussions are permitted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, let's take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/hardware-rec&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;hardware-rec&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;hardware-rec&lt;/a&gt; tag: of 202 questions...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;140 are open and undeleted&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;62 are closed and undeleted&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;433 have been deleted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, we aren't allowing all hardware recommendations. Of the 160 open, undeleted questions, quite a few are very old, and were probably asked before we explicitly made shopping recommendations off-topic. A few are valid discussions in the &lt;em&gt;how to choose&lt;/em&gt; rather than &lt;em&gt;choose for me&lt;/em&gt; category, some also fall in the category of &quot;hardware discussion&quot; but aren't a shopping request, and a lot of them probably ought to be closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/hardware-rec&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;hardware-rec&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;hardware-rec&lt;/a&gt; tag is indeed a problem, since &lt;em&gt;most&lt;/em&gt; questions tagged with it should not exist. I'm not going to take any action on it quite yet, since I'd like to hear feedback from the community and other moderators, but removing and banning the tag is one option. I will also be manually going through the questions in that tag and removing ones which are shopping recommendations. &lt;strong&gt;If anyone would like to boost their flag weight, feel free to go through them yourself and flag any that should be deleted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for bringing up this issue.

For example, on Stack Overflow, you could probably do a flood of 150 edits in the span of an hour, and it'll have almost no impact - the front page moves fast enough to override even that much, &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; the special &quot;Interesting&quot; view may even completely overlook these revisions. However, on many of the small Stack Exchange 2.0 sites, they don't get enough traffic to overwhelm a full front-page worth of edits (which is 50, by the way). As such, &lt;strong&gt;judge the appropriate frequency based on your site performance&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://cooking.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/966/when-should-i-retag-a-question/968#968&quot;&gt;Aaronut wrote an interesting analysis of Seasoned Advice's traffic with regards to 'edit floods'&lt;/a&gt;, consider using that as an example of what to look at.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super User is one of the higher performing sites so you're probably more in Stack Overflow's shoes than in a small site's. However, you also want to keep in mind, &lt;strong&gt;the faster a massive edit session is done, the less impact it will have on your traffic&lt;/strong&gt;. It may overwhelm the front page for an hour, but after that hour, it could be recovered by your normal traffic very easily, with the added bonus that the edit job will be done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may consider that it is often wiser to &lt;strong&gt;perform massive edit jobs during low period hours&lt;/strong&gt;. That way, any impact you do have on the front page, will be during a period of time when there isn't much for the revisions to take away from. As well, when the activity of the site does pick up, it'll again clear up all of the leftovers from the edit flood.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd say that ultimately, the biggest thing to keep in mind about an edit flood is &lt;strong&gt;prepare in advance for it&lt;/strong&gt;. These should be planned efforts to maximize the amount affected while minimizing the impact on the site. Determine whether it is a tiny job of 20-30 posts that can just be done any time in the day at any rate, versus a job of 100+ that is best done overnight in one fell swoop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To take away from it, &lt;strong&gt;as long as it is improving the site and not significantly detracting from your normal site activity&lt;/strong&gt;, I'd say that such things should not be discouraged. We needn't necessarily encourage them, but I think they're fine when they work without harm. There's little that can be done post-fact other than discuss how to do it better (if there were any issues).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="37191" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-16T15:43:53.130" LastActivityDate="2011-08-09T16:56:05.963" CommentCount="13" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, let's say we set the threshold to five edits, with a time delta of 10 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you make more than five edits within a ten-minute period, all subsequent edits are sent to a queue. The edits in the queue &lt;strong&gt;are done immediately&lt;/strong&gt; (the content is changed instantaneously), but they are pushed to the front page one at a time &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; a certain amount of time (maybe 5 minutes).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Basically, your edits go to a queue if you exceed 5 edits in 10 minutes. After that, all edits are delayed being pushed to the front page by five minutes. Any subsequent edits, while there are still entries in the queue, are further queued.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, since sometimes you want edits to &lt;strong&gt;your own questions/answers&lt;/strong&gt; to appear near the top, &lt;em&gt;this should only apply to edits you perform on someone else's post&lt;/em&gt;.  If this &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; implemented, there would be no need to view an edit queue (except for your own), and if that particular edit was rolled back, it should be removed from the queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, some people have worries that their &quot;essential&quot; edits would not be pushed to the front as quick as they would like. To mitigate this, maybe there would be a way to flag an edit as a &quot;priority edit&quot;, so it would be put in the top of &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; edit queue (and would be placed on the front page in the next push interval).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thoughts?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, maybe strictly tag-edits should not be pushed to the front page (but still show up on a user's edit history, of course)?

Tag edits could default to this unless over-ruled, it could be smart to sense adding 50% new content or whatever, but basically let the power editors and moderators choose whether to &quot;bump&quot; with a specific edit or not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should users be given the filter or a lever to sort questions that were asked recently rather than edited recently.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I surely can't speak if the effort needed to implement a &quot;minor edit&quot; tag would pay off, but it would be a handy lever for moderators to suppress any sort of edits that were made in bad faith simply to bump a question as well as for editors that do great work at one time and didn't know or care to make an edit minor.

Sometimes those edits are significant and almost a complete rewrite, other times they are minor but may help with categorisation or search engine ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My editing spans across recent additions to the site, anything found on the various &lt;em&gt;review&lt;/em&gt; pages, and occasionally searches. My intention is not to flood the site with as many edits as possible, but to improve things whenever I see them to help improve the site overall. For example, I might come across a user's first question that needs rewriting, and in the process discover that a lot of answers to that question could do with some editing as well. Once I've finished that might result in say, 6 edits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can understand concerns about the front page being flooded with question/answer revisions, but I never actively think about it when I'm editing - especially when I imagine other traffic will push my edits down the front page anyway.

What I did not realize, was that Gareth was re-uploading all the broken images that were dead from PhotoBucket. The most of the edits were clearly done well, with a few minor exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From this, my biggest problem was that we have a lot of questions on the site.

One of our top contributors over the last two months left because they were annoyed by a rather small thing (maybe one particular person). This is not what we want, of course.

If the user who annoys you asks questions under a tag that doesn't interest you, add it to the &quot;ignored tags&quot; list. If on the other hand their questions are within your scope of interest, why not answer them?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You still haven't given us enough information to actually help you out.

Since the hardware from Jeff is only available to users in the US, we could award that stuff to two deserving US users who win some portion of the contest. Alternatively, we could give the hardware to US bloggers who have made good contributions, as Jeff originally suggested. Other prizes could include SU swag (shirts, water bottles, laptop bags, etc.), software, or hardware, which would be less geographically limited since there are computer stores in most parts of the world.

It's up to you, the Super User community, what we should give away, and how to decide who gets what.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here are some questions to ponder when answering:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What should the contests be?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How should we quantify performance?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What should we do with Jeff's hardware, given its geographical&#xA;restriction?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What prizes should we have in the contest?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We need to figure this out very soon, so that we can propose it to the Stack Exchange community team, to figure out the funding details.

Some awards will be determined based on activity during the entirety of the contest, others may be awarded twice (once per week). A few of the awards are based on prior participation, to reward users who've made valuable contributions over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Prizes are still being discussed with the Stack Exchange community team, and will depend on their stock available and the cost. &lt;em&gt;Possible&lt;/em&gt; (not guaranteed) prizes include SU/SE t-shirts, stickers, water bottles, laptop bags, and other swag that appears &lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.stackexchange.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;in the SE store&lt;/a&gt;. For &quot;higher achievement&quot; prizes that reward truly excellent work, we might consider awarding hardware, a subscription to a tech magazine, or perhaps a computer-related book or other item. This has yet to be decided, and will somewhat depend on SE's ability to provide prizes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For categories with judges, the judges will be active moderators, and possibly other users appointed by the moderators for excellent site achievement. Judges and moderators are ineligible for these categories, but depending on what SE grants us, there may be some prize for moderators/judges just for being awesome.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, without further ado, my suggested &lt;strong&gt;prize categories/challenges&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Three &amp;lt;2k users with the most &lt;strong&gt;reputation gained from suggested edits during the contest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Three &gt;2k users with the most  &lt;strong&gt;reputation gained from suggested tag wiki edits&lt;/strong&gt; &#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;for both of these, the user must not have more than 3 rejected edits during the contest, to make sure they aren't just spamming suggested edits to see what sticks &lt;/sub&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;top two &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users?tab=newusers&quot;&gt;new users&lt;/a&gt; by reputation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Two users gaining the &lt;strong&gt;most reputation during the contest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two user gaining the &lt;strong&gt;most reputation during the current quarter&lt;/strong&gt; (to reward effort over time)  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;This will be judged by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/leagues/3/superuser/&quot;&gt;Super User Reputation Leagues&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author of &lt;strong&gt;the best canonical answer/community FAQ post&lt;/strong&gt;, as determined by the judges&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;If the post is community wiki, any user contributing at least 25% of the post will also receive the prize&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The user contributing the &lt;strong&gt;most useful edits during the contest&lt;/strong&gt;, as determined by the judges. To be eligible, a user must do at least 15 edits during the contest, and the edits must be non-trivial. Candidates will be selected from &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users?tab=editors&amp;amp;filter=week&quot;&gt;the top 20 editors for that week&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;best &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;blog post draft&lt;/a&gt; submitted by a new blogger&lt;/strong&gt;, as determined by the judges, current blog editors, and moderators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;crap cleaner award&lt;/strong&gt;, for the user with the most cumulative close votes, valid flags, and edits. Data for determining this award would require some help from SE employees with database access.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, for the &lt;strong&gt;grand prize&lt;/strong&gt;, the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Most Valued Super User&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;, as determined by the community. Voting would occur on a meta post, and each candidate would be an answer. The winner would be determined by total vote score on the answer for that candidate. Candidates would not be permitted to enter themselves, but any user can nominate a contestant. Contestants must meet certain criteria, to be determined, such as minimum reputation, edits, or specific badges indicating participation in the site. I would suggest the following badge requirements, to indicate participation in various aspects of the site: &#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/badges/8/citizen-patrol&quot; title=&quot;First flagged post&quot;&gt;citizen patrol&lt;/a&gt;, &#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/badges/39/enthusiast&quot; title=&quot;Visited the site each day for 30 consecutive days&quot;&gt;enthusiast&lt;/a&gt;,&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/badges/12/strunk-white&quot; title=&quot;Edited 80 posts&quot;&gt;strunk &amp;amp; white&lt;/a&gt;,&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/badges/63/tag-editor&quot; title=&quot;First Tag Wiki Edit&quot;&gt;tag editor&lt;/a&gt;,&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/badges/95/quorum&quot; title=&quot;One post with score of 2 on meta&quot;&gt;quorum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please note:&lt;/em&gt; this is a potential proposal, not a finalized plan.

Products can vary from region to region, and may not even be sold in a particular marketplace.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case I suspect that the aforementioned Keysonic keyboard is not sold in the US, so when being redirected to the US site, there is of course no product to display.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that books are less likely to have this issue because the ASIN in that case always matches the book's ISBN, which tends to be global.

In addition, there have been a few times when I loaded a web page and a file started to download. While I removed it right afterwards, this is a risk, albeit small. Your problem with my note is really a problem with microsoft. They thought this would be a useful feature.

You may not enter yourself in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nominations should be entered as a single answer with the user's name, and a link to their profile.

The only thing that I did notice was &lt;em&gt;slowness&lt;/em&gt;, or better said &lt;em&gt;less responsiveness&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's this last visual cue that you see that you should use to determine when you need to actually take a look at what your computer is actually doing, as that's the only moment you should give attention to it. That's actually the only moment that program should be using your &lt;em&gt;costly idle CPU cycles&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, responsiveness works both ways. The more idle CPU cycles and context switches you have, the less responsive your PC will become. You know that effect where after some months your PC becomes slower and slower? That's because the amount of idle CPU cycles and context switches has increased to that point, and it's because all kind of tiny changes to your system of which the performance has never been analyzed. Yes, adding entries to your hosts file causes some periodically extra idle CPU cycles!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for memory usage, you should rather have bought enough memory as well have a page file to back you up; at this point, you will again get to see &lt;em&gt;slowness&lt;/em&gt; when your computer starts disk trashing because your memory ran too full. Here, it's again not necessary to keep your eyes on the monitor. There is also no reason to keep your memory usage low, because &lt;em&gt;free memory is simply wasted memory&lt;/em&gt;....&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, would you want to keep your eye on your screen corner or would you want to use your computer?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are these graphs available?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For &lt;em&gt;active&lt;/em&gt; monitoring purposes, where the change in one of the graphs is important to be monitored.

Let's make it clear:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can't tell people not to vote up something they see.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can't tell people &lt;strong&gt;what&lt;/strong&gt; to vote for (i.e. the &quot;usefulness&quot;, the &quot;lack of context&quot;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus, if you want to stop bad or poor posts from being created in the first place, you need a stronger reinforcement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What kind of reinforcement do we have?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Commenting&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Downvoting&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Flagging as &quot;not an answer&quot; or &quot;low quality&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What if an answer is bad, but (partly) useful?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If an answer is bad (i.e. short, lacking context, lacking background), but probably correct or partly useful, it won't ever receive a downvote in our system, because it's not &quot;not useful&quot; per se (as indicated by the downvote arrow). Downvote it, leave a comment, and you'll be soon experiencing the rage of somebody who just wanted to help and doesn't understand why they got a downvote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus: &lt;strong&gt;If you want people to write better answers, be &lt;s&gt;obnoxious&lt;/s&gt; unpleasant and tell them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It would be great to expand your answer &amp;ndash; it is currently lacking context [&lt;em&gt;add other points here&lt;/em&gt;]. Please look at our short &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/how-to-answer&quot;&gt;How to Answer&lt;/a&gt; guide to see how you can make your answer better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means telling them repeatedly. This also means &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; immediately making friends, but that's not what we're here for in the first place. Super User is not a social network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I haven't seen these types of comment very often and it'd probably be about time to make use of them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We should particularly watch new users who aren't used to the concept of our site and gently remind them how they should write answers (example &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/325596/monitor-modem-speed-and-transfer-volumes-in-os-x/325602#325602&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/325582/remote-connect-to-os-x-from-windows-is-there-dual-monitor-support/325604#325604&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). Edit their posts, show them what it could look like and leave a positive example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What if an answer is bad and &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; useful?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is such a big problem. We hardly see downvotes on answers ever. Why is that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Users don't want to lose reputation because of someone else's fault.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I see two ways:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We flag those answers (but they'd have to be really bad)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We make downvotes on answers free (just like we did with questions, where I saw a positive  outcome from the change)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We try to care less about our reputation and downvote more often.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And this is where I'm stuck. I don't know if &quot;free downvotes on answers&quot; has been proposed already, but if we want to tackle this problem, this is where I suppose we should start to rethink. If (long-time) users were more &quot;afraid&quot; of downvotes, they'd write better answers from the start.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.537" LastActivityDate="2011-08-21T00:19:31.860" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you've noticed, voting is not always a good indicator of quality. In fact, trivial (or rather trite) questions tend to attract a lot of visits and thus a lot of votes — this is called the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=bikeshed+site%3Ameta.stackoverflow.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;bikeshed effect&lt;/a&gt;. Everyone understands a simple answer to a simple question, so these get a lot of views and a lot of votes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The dominant attitude on Stack Overflow is to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9731/fastest-gun-in-the-west-problem/9758#9758&quot;&gt;encourage the quick and dirty answer&lt;/a&gt;. If you want to encourage quality answers, you have to work against the dominant culture. Reputation is detrimental here, because it strongly disincentivises long, thoughtful answers: they take a long time to write, and by that time everyone's upvoted the one-liner posted 30 seconds after the question and moved on. Reputation &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/s/926/high-efficiency-users&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;efficiency&lt;/a&gt; rewards the &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/s/812/keystrokes-per-rep-point-mod-for-user-defined-rep-cutoff&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;short-winded&lt;/a&gt;. To encourage upvoting quality answers, you need to have quality answers, which means people who take the time to write them; these people can't be bribed with reputation, so you need to find some other &lt;strong&gt;motivation for answerers&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other part of the problem is voter attitude. That can be trained, to some extent. Whenever you see a one-liner answer, comment on it. Don't be afraid of being unfriendly: shame the answerers who were clearly trying to gain some easy reputation rather than provide a helpful answer. That won't make you any friends. And, when you see this kind of poor answer, write your own answer. Don't be afraid of providing an answer with the same technical content, but a better explanation. &lt;strong&gt;The explanation is part of the answer&lt;/strong&gt;. If someone complained that you “stole” their answer (I get these from time to time), ignore them. Sometimes you'll even gain reputation for that, I've had more than one asker shift the accepted answer to mine simply because I provided better explanations. Of course, sometimes your answer will be ignored; see above regarding motivation for answerers. And &lt;strong&gt;don't be afraid of downvoting&lt;/strong&gt; answers that may technically solve the problem but don't explain what's going on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Speaking of downvoting: downvoting costs 1 reputation point. Having a post of yours upvoted gives you back the reputation from 10 downvotes. It's not a big cost. &lt;strong&gt;Downvoting is almost free&lt;/strong&gt;. The bigger problem with downvoting is that it's not much of a disincentive for the downvoted party — it takes 5 downvotes to compensate a single upvote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another tool in the toolbox is &lt;strong&gt;tougher moderation&lt;/strong&gt;. If an answer fits in the comment length limit, don't be afraid of hitting that “convert to comment” button! Not always, of course, there are question that genuinely deserve short answers. I would support this policy (which, unfortunately, no SE site is close to following except for &lt;a href=&quot;https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Skeptics&lt;/a&gt;, which has very particular requirements due to its subject matter)¹:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If an answer lacks explanations, and it's clear that the asker wanted explanations, or that the asker will struggle to implement the solution without explanations, then then answer is &lt;strong&gt;not an answer&lt;/strong&gt; but a &lt;em&gt;method to obtain an answer&lt;/em&gt;. A method to obtain an answer should be a comment, not an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, such a policy will not make you popular. Ignore the whiners. And don't be afraid of deleting a highly-voted post; if anything a lot of upvotes are a sign that bikeshedding is going on and moderation is in order.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, looking at the examples you give:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/318653/what-are-some-options-for-transfering-large-files-without-using-the-internet&quot;&gt;What are some options for transfering large files without using the Internet?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;To be fair, the question itself is pretty general, it's hard to give precise technical answers to it. It's clearly been widely advertised. Regarding the answers you criticise:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Suggesting satellite: xDSL is clearly comprehensible at the asker's level of understanding, and I don't know what you mean by “satellite on your roof”. On the other hand, that answer would be a lot better if it included data, like the amount of bandwidth you can hope to get and typical costs. If the high-quality policy was in place, you could convert this to a comment (no data → not an answer but a method to get one).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Use your car or a consumer-grade connection: not much detail, but barely makes the cut for me. It could be improved by analysing costs and suggesting bonding (though at the asker's level of sophistication bonding may go without saying).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/324512/how-can-i-change-to-the-previous-directory-instead-of-going-up&quot;&gt;How can I change to the previous directory instead of going up?&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;Bryan's initial answer (before Tom's edit) was just barely ok. It's not what I'd have posted, but the asker wasn't particularly asking for explanations. Of course, it's better now, but a really good answer would also mention &lt;code&gt;pushd&lt;/code&gt; and friends. This is only in my “don't upvote” territory. For reference, I've upvoted &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/324512/how-can-i-change-to-the-previous-directory-instead-of-going-up/324519#324519&quot;&gt;slhck's answer (for explaining &lt;code&gt;pushd&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;popd&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/324512/how-can-i-change-to-the-previous-directory-instead-of-going-up/324732#324732&quot;&gt;musa's answer (for suggesting the command history, which I've found that many people underuse)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/321228/will-my-computer-slow-down-if-i-install-multiple-operating-systems&quot;&gt;Will my computer slow down if I install multiple operating systems?&lt;/a&gt;&#xA; Ignacio is the uncontested Trilogy champion of the correct one-liner. Here, what he says in his answer is correct, but it doesn't really address the question — it's not at all clear whether the asker was talking about virtual machines or dual boot, and in fact that may be part of the confusion. &lt;em&gt;Not an answer&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/323036/can-screwdrivers-with-magnetic-tips-cause-damage-to-electronics&quot;&gt;Can Screwdrivers With Magnetic Tips Cause Damage To Electronics?&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;I don't know enough about that topic to judge the correctness of the answers, so I'll pass.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/325213/how-can-i-permanently-customize-the-dos-prompt-a-k-a-command-prompt-in-windo&quot;&gt;How can I permanently customize the Command Prompt in Windows 7?&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;Meh, if I'm going to use the command line I'd rather not use dialog boxes to configure it.

What I'd like to know (if I cared) is rather how &lt;code&gt;setx&lt;/code&gt; differs from &lt;code&gt;set&lt;/code&gt;, and if there's some other place (a configuration file? a registry entry?) where I could find the setting (in particular if I want to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/189024/version-control-for-windows-configuration&quot;&gt;copy my configuration to another machine&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, aggressively comment, downvote, flag, delete answers that aren't helpful. I wonder if people are still reading my rant, er, I mean my long answer? Recruit other people to help you, like you've done here. Keep it up. And up. And up. I do think it pays — I've been writing long answers to &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Unix &amp;amp; Linux&lt;/a&gt; questions (and others) for a year, and I think I've helped foster a culture that a long answer is better than a short one. It's not that one-liner answers don't come up and get upvoted, but I've acquired “followers”, who also try to go beyond the immediate question and make their answer a “definitive” answer. I do think it drives the site's quality up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good luck!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;¹ &lt;sub&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;CSTheory&lt;/a&gt; doesn't have such a policy but naturally doesn't get upvoted one-liners. This is an exceptional case, due to that site's high entry barrier.&#xA;&lt;/sub&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="42315" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:46:45.990" LastActivityDate="2011-08-21T21:12:04.960" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Should we be doing anything?&lt;/a&gt;, Jeff Atwood &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3103/do-we-care-about-edit-flooding-should-we-be-doing-anything/3131#3131&quot;&gt;mentioned&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Edits should be reasonably substantive -- trivial edits have all the negatives but almost none of the positives. For example, the 6 character guideline we use for suggested edits is a good starting point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, it seems to became a habit for some users (and I do feel like helping, but am afraid that it's going to make the problem I see on the other hand much worse) to re-upload large batches of images to &lt;code&gt;stack.imgur&lt;/code&gt; in order to prevent future image rot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, a rule to &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; content I recently learned is to go for &lt;em&gt;quality&lt;/em&gt; instead of quantity; &lt;em&gt;avoid trivial stuff...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, preventing image rot is there to maintain &lt;em&gt;quality&lt;/em&gt; but it happens with quantity. So, it's kind of an exception to what I recently learned; it does feel trivial on one hand, although some titles/tags/content are sometimes corrected along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whenever I'm around, I see an edit flood all over the front page. But it feels like this is getting &lt;em&gt;annoying&lt;/em&gt;, and I'm starting to wonder if it's leading people away from our site. Too much edit flooding can never be good. Of course the person in question is trying to do good; &lt;em&gt;been there, done that&lt;/em&gt; with my earlier top question title edits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, those edits are heavily supported on chat and I would even like to jump in and help. But, all I would do is make the flood of edits on the front page much worse; &lt;strong&gt;should we be have an automatized system that automatically silently uploads everything to &lt;code&gt;stack.imgur&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If not, can we get something like the &lt;em&gt;interesting&lt;/em&gt; tab on Stack Overflow that &lt;strong&gt;doesn't lay so much focus on edit floods&lt;/strong&gt;? It has proven to work there; so, why wouldn't it work on a site like Super User? I've heard volume once before, but I could say that the Super User side is heavily visited these days and should thus be enough to fit the bill of a (perhaps improved) interesting tab.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T10:12:26.263" LastActivityDate="2014-04-23T09:11:41.447" Title="Can all images be on 'stack.imgur' to prevent endless edits?

In the end we're a Q&amp;amp;A site, so getting great answers should always remain the main goal of using the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PS: don't take that as an excuse to stop doing any of your moderating tasks, it just shouldn't be the main reason you visit the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1548" LastActivityDate="2011-08-22T21:35:29.313" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In a first instance, reputation doesn't measure how much you do for the broad community (in a sense of cleanup, or whatever you deem necessary). Essentially, it measures how much the community likes your answers (or thinks your questions are interesting or well written, for that matter).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And hey, we're a Q/A site, so I don't think there's a problem with that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;While that is important, that is not related to being able to be a good &quot;semi-mod&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; have a point there. However, we &lt;em&gt;somehow&lt;/em&gt; need to find a way to quantify how much we can trust a user, and unless there's a better alternative, we have to do it through reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By reading through &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackoverflow.com/&quot;&gt;meta.SO&lt;/a&gt;, you'll find a lot of similar questions about this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's a bit more discussion:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume you see a problem in high-rep users getting privileges &amp;ndash; otherwise you wouldn't have written this. Now what happens if a user reaches &quot;semi-mod&quot; powers? As you can imagine, both of these extremes could exist:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;users who don't make use of their given privileges at all (sometimes even counter-acting the community by refusing to make use of them)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;those users who get to the rep barriers just to unlock the features they need for doing what they actually wanted to do (i.e. only closing stuff, only editing, only flagging)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main reason why I think it's not hurting to judge this by reputation &lt;em&gt;per se&lt;/em&gt; is: It's also not &lt;em&gt;mandatory&lt;/em&gt; to use all of that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you know you're not feeling comfortable editing other people's stuff, just don't do it. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you don't feel confident enough to vote to close other people's questions, you don't have to do it (but please don't flag the moderators to do it for you).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you don't feel like checking &lt;code&gt;/review&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/tools&lt;/code&gt; regularly, because it's wasting too much of your time, just don't do it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You're not hurting anybody. If you're a high-rep user who likes to just answer and cast the occasional close vote, &lt;strong&gt;that's completely fine&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why do we differentiate between high rep users (top 5% of users above 200 or so) and the top .2% (20000 rep)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These numbers are a bit arbitrary. They're the same for different leagues of sites, such as Super User and Stack Overflow. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Example? On Stack Overflow, to find a user who didn't (theoretically) earn &lt;code&gt;/tools&lt;/code&gt; (10k) privileges within the last year I have to scroll &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/users?page=10&amp;amp;tab=reputation&amp;amp;filter=year&quot;&gt;to the tenth page&lt;/a&gt;. On Super User, well, we stop at the third row of &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users?tab=reputation&amp;amp;filter=year&quot;&gt;the first page&lt;/a&gt;.*&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;10k users are somewhat needed to help moderators. I think we have a good balance on the site &amp;ndash; so I don't see a need to change these limits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;* this is obviously not very representative in reality, since high-rep users also count in these rankings&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:39:37.027" LastActivityDate="2011-08-22T21:51:08.033" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If the tablet runs Linux/OSX/Windows 7 or 8/Unix, then it's fair game.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why?  Well, can you &lt;em&gt;create and program&lt;/em&gt; an application while running the device?  Do you have the flexibility and choice of compiling your own applications that run on other operating systems?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying that you &lt;strong&gt;can't&lt;/strong&gt; do these things, but use some common sense.  There's so many applications I use on a daily basis that work on Windows/Linux/Mac.   And if it didn't, I could (in most cases) easily just compile it on the new operating system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The same can &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; be said for most phone/tablet operating systems, and I think that's where we should draw the line.  These are highly embedded devices with very specific hardware and software requirements, removing most of the modularity from the system - and that's what a &quot;computer&quot; is all about.  I think &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/47225/kronos&quot;&gt;KronoS&lt;/a&gt; worded this point very well:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;One thing I would add is the fact that the hardware cannot be upgraded&#xA;  either. I.e. The memory cannot be raised. The fact that it's an&#xA;  'embedded system' makes it just like the game console and the cell&#xA;  phone. I forsee SE starting it's own dedicated site for these but we&#xA;  don't need to service them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My final argument, from the FAQ, Super User &lt;strong&gt;is not about electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones&lt;/strong&gt;, except insofar as they interface with your computer.  If you want to argue that your tablet is more then a smart phone, we'd love to see some evidence.  &lt;strong&gt;There is a distinction here, and you can't ignore it just because &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; feel like your question fits here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your tablet runs iOS/Android/WP7, it does not belong here.

There are also some worrying stories of problems with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HanselminutesPodcast265SynologyNetworkAttachedStorageAndWindowsHomeServerWithTravisIllig.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;poor read/write speeds&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://arstechnica.com/business/raising-your-tech-iq/2011/03/drobo-review-1.ars?comments=1#comment-21481677&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;noise&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/04/drobo-review-part-2-day-to-day-use.ars/2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;slightly ropey client software&lt;/a&gt;. But mainly, I feel it's my duty to build my own computers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, maybe you run a small business and prefer to think of a NAS as an appliance – something that has a warranty and a customer support email address. This is where the pre-build solutions from Drobo, Synology, ReadyNAS, etc., excel. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SmallNetBuilder&lt;/a&gt; is a great resource for finding out more about that sort of thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Hardware&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guessed that 4 x 2TB hard drives with single-drive redundancy would suit me, leaving a usable space of around 5.5TB. With that settled, I could pick the hardware:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/y2Lo1.png&quot; alt=&quot;Hardware montage&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;CFI A7879 Mini-ITX NAS Server Case (&lt;strong&gt;£98.40&lt;/strong&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;http://linitx.com/product/12789&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;LinITX&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Atom 330 CPU (dual-core) + ASUS AT3IONT-I Mini-ITX motherboard + fanless heatsink (&lt;strong&gt;£112.83&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;4 x 2TB hard drives (&lt;strong&gt;£240&lt;/strong&gt; total)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;2GB memory (&lt;strong&gt;£19.99&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;2 extra SATA cables (&lt;strong&gt;£3.65&lt;/strong&gt; total)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;2GB USB boot drive (pretty much free)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...totalling &lt;strong&gt;£474.87&lt;/strong&gt; (about 775USD). This is almost exactly the cost of a 5-bay Drobo FS, &lt;em&gt;without drives&lt;/em&gt;, at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.uk/Drobo-FS-5-Bay-Storage-Array/dp/B003H05I8E&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;£476.54&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Case&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The case was a little expensive, but it does the job well. Some basic instructions would have been nice - it took 5-10 minutes of fiddling to figure out how to get drives inside. The other 4-bay NAS case option I found, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=42#ES34069-120W&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Chenbro ES34069&lt;/a&gt;, was even more expensive. (For a 6-bay NAS, the Lian Li PC-Q08 got &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2010/07/20/lian-li-pc-q08-review/1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;a decent review&lt;/a&gt;, but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2010/07/14/fractal-design-array-r2-m-itx-case-review/6&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Fractal Array R2&lt;/a&gt; did not.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;CPU and motherboard&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I chose the motherboard because it hit the sweet spot of price, power consumption, SATA ports, and availability. Also, FreeBSD supports the Ethernet chipset, which was important (see below). Newer Atom CPUs, such as the D510, should be more power-efficient overall (because of the on-die memory controller and graphics) but none were readily available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Temperature, noise, and power&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to minimise noise, so passive CPU cooling appealed to me. The case includes a PSU fan and a 120mm case fan, which are fairly quiet. The motherboard does dynamically adjust the case fan speed based on the CPU temperature. CPU and hard disk temperatures are normally 35-45°C, depending on the ambient temperature. The hard disks can be noisy when seeking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The normal total power consumption is about 43W. This is while running a BitTorrent client, and so all four hard disks are spinning. I'm fairly happy with this, because the drives are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1076-page5.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;benchmarked&lt;/a&gt; at about 4W idle, and 5.6W while seeking. Because the NAS will be running 24 hours a day, it should cost about £43 a year to run (1W roughly equates to £1 over a year).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I turn BitTorrent off and allow all the drives to power-down to standby mode, power consumption drops to about 29W. For comparison, the Drobo FS is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drobo.com/products/drobo-fs.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;rated&lt;/a&gt; at about 12W (idle) and 56W (busy), with four drives.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hbeqZ.png&quot; alt=&quot;NASPORN&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;OS/software&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Picking hardware was time consuming, but relatively painless. Software was a lot trickier to nail down, given all the options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freenas.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;FreeNAS&lt;/a&gt;, using ZFS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Plain FreeBSD, using ZFS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Solaris, using ZFS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Linux and mdraid (software RAID)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Linux and ZFS, via &lt;a href=&quot;http://zfs-fuse.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ZFS-FUSE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lime-technology.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;unRAID&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openfiler.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;OpenFiler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greyhole.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Greyhole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nexentastor.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;NexentaStor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://openindiana.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;OpenIndiana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows Home Server (2007 is often preferred to 2011 because of the Drobo-like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Home_Server#Drive_Extender&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Drive Extender&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only easy part was that &lt;strong&gt;I wouldn't settle for anything less than ZFS&lt;/strong&gt;. (The next section explains why.) This eliminated Linux (I didn't want ZFS-FUSE because of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/06/uptake-of-native-linux-zfs-port-hampered-by-license-conflict.ars&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;performance implications&lt;/a&gt;) and OpenFiler. I also ruled out unRAID, NexentaStor, and Windows Home Server, because they (can) cost money. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greyhole.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Greyhole&lt;/a&gt; looks like a great idea (similar to &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/bill/entry/ditto_blocks_the_amazing_tape&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ditto blocks&lt;/a&gt; in ZFS), but I didn't want to have to manually split my data into &quot;important&quot; and &quot;unimportant&quot; bins. Also, parity-based redundancy is far more efficient, in terms of hard drive space, than the full mirroring offered by Greyhole - especially as more drives are added.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Why ZFS?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;End the suffering&quot; -- &lt;em&gt;Jeff Bonwick &amp;amp; Bill Moore&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ZFS originally stood for Zettabyte File System (due to the immense storage limit of 256 x 10&lt;sup&gt;15&lt;/sup&gt; zettabytes), but it is much more than just a file system. Importantly, it is also a kind of local volume manager (LVM). That means that ZFS likes to control both the allocation of physical drives to logical storage entities (&lt;em&gt;vdevs&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;zpools&lt;/em&gt; in ZFS), as well as the organisation of files within those zpools. This gives ZFS significant power, compared to a layered approach. For a NAS device, a couple of features are worth looking at in more detail: data integrity and RAID-Z.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Self-healing data&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ZFS really cares about keeping your data safe. CERN - which famously &lt;a href=&quot;http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/08/lhc-computing-grid-pushes-petabytes-of-data-beats-expectations.ars&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;handles a lot of data&lt;/a&gt; - did &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/video/entry/zfs_the_last_word_in&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;an experiment&lt;/a&gt; with 3000 hardware RAID cards. They experienced &lt;strong&gt;152 cases&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;em&gt;silent&lt;/em&gt; data corruption within three weeks. Although slightly mystical-sounding, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;bit-rot&lt;/a&gt; really can happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In order to provide the so-called &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/bonwick/entry/zfs_end_to_end_data&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;end-to-end&lt;/a&gt; data integrity, ZFS simply stores checksums &lt;em&gt;away&lt;/em&gt; from data blocks. In fact, the checksums themselves have their own checksums further up the chain, and so on until the root of the file system (known as the uberblock). The entire file system hierarchy is a self-healing hash-tree. Here's a simplified diagram:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NQwrp.png&quot; alt=&quot;Simplified ZFS hash tree example. Note that data is only at the leaves.&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Going from left to right, directory 1 contains a pointer to file A, file A's checksum, and some other meta-data. But dir 1 is just another data block, which is pointed to by the uberblock. The uberblock therefore contains a checksum of dir 1, and so on. This does mean that every write to a file involves recalculating several checksums, all the way back to the root node (the uberblock). But ZFS's copy-on-write policy (see below) and transactional nature mitigate the performance penalty. Furthermore, ZFS is designed to take advantage of Moore's law: CPU cycles are cheap, but hard drives are slow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This all means that ZFS can check your data at any time - and it can often repair data after a variety of problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;RAID-Z: fixing RAID 5&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ZFS's answer to RAID 5 is called RAID-Z1, but it has important advantages over hardware RAID 5. RAID-Z avoids the dreaded &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/bonwick/entry/raid_z&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;write hole&lt;/a&gt;, where loss of power during a write operation can (silently!) leave the data drive and parity drive inconsistent. In ZFS, the copy-on-write policy solves this problem because ZFS always writes to a new block, and then atomically &lt;a href=&quot;http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/03/how-zfs-is-slowly-making-its-way-to-mac-os-x.ars&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;updates the block pointers&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A copy of the file system structure is made when in the process of writing new blocks. If a drive failure happens during the write, the original data is still accessible and the file system knows that the write operation didn't complete.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;RAID 5 also has a performance problem with &lt;em&gt;partial&lt;/em&gt; stripe writes, because the old stripe data must be read before being modified and written back. RAID-Z uses dynamic stripe width; so &lt;a href=&quot;http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/whatis&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;all writes are full-stripe writes&lt;/a&gt;, and this problem can never occur.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;FreeNAS&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What is it, and why do I need it?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD, but with a few clever changes that make it great for NAS servers. Naturally, it inherits FreeBSD's ZFS support, if a little out of date. I decided to use FreeNAS, rather than any other ZFS-capable OS, for two main reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;boot-from-scratch philosophy&lt;/strong&gt; makes backing-up and restoring the &lt;em&gt;entire OS&lt;/em&gt; (well, the XML settings file, not a binary image) very simple. If anything ever goes badly wrong with the OS, I just burn the OS image to a USB drive and upload the settings file. Nothing to install, nothing to configure. It also means that the OS is not stored on a data drive. And booting from USB ensures that the OS does not use up a valuable SATA port. (In fact, FreeNAS boots from USB and copies the OS to a RAM-disk for two reasons: 1) the OS is &quot;clean&quot; at each boot, as described above, and 2) to minimise writes to the flash memory.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;FreeNAS's &lt;strong&gt;purpose-built web interface&lt;/strong&gt; also means that you rarely need to &lt;code&gt;ssh&lt;/code&gt; to get stuff done. In fact, once it's up and running, you rarely need to touch anything.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rQUBz.png&quot; alt=&quot;FreeNAS 0.7 main web interface&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Lots of extras&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FreeNAS should have everything you need from a NAS server:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set up SMB/CIFS, FTP, NFS, and AFP shares&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Transmission BitTorrent client, with its own web interface (24-hour downloading/seeding!)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;rsync&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SSH&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;iSCSI&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Dynamic DNS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;DAAP&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;UPnP&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and email alerts&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Manage users&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Network interface link aggregation&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Version 8?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There was one last decision. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7iqHnKd690&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Version 8&lt;/a&gt; is a complete rewrite of version 0.7, but many useful features are still missing. Also, I &lt;a href=&quot;http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=38&amp;amp;t=10571&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;couldn't write&lt;/a&gt; a bootable USB image for 8 (although the CD image worked ok in VirtualBox). For now, 0.7 is the only choice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Performance&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Who cares about how elegant the OS and file system are; more importantly, &lt;em&gt;how fast is it&lt;/em&gt;? Well, not great, but not bad. Without any significant tuning, and using SMB shares, I get 20-30MB/s for sustained reads and writes, over gigabit Ethernet:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/560GK.png&quot; alt=&quot;Copying a file from NAS to laptop&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sadly, it seems that the RealTek NIC (or FreeNAS's driver) doesn't support &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_frame&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;jumbo frames&lt;/a&gt;; the MTU setting in FreeNAS won't budge over 1500 bytes.

Aside from filling the NAS with 5.18TB of data, there are minor improvements to look at:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Setting up email notification for hard drive S.M.A.R.T. attribute thresholds.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Power and temperature improvements form underclocking the CPU, and ensuring that the GPU is powered-down.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Improving read and write speeds or, at least, pin-pointing the performance bottleneck.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Other practical notes&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It's important to note that RAID-Z1 (single-drive redundancy) is not really recommended. If a single drive fails, the strain of &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.oracle.com/bonwick/entry/smokin_mirrors&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;resilvering&lt;/a&gt;, which may take a &lt;a href=&quot;http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=30666#119396&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;long time&lt;/a&gt;, might knock out a second drive. All data would be lost. RAID-Z2 provides dual-disk redundancy for this reason. (All of my work and important personal documents are backed-up with Dropbox; the data on my NAS are somewhat expendable.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Although Solaris offers the most up-to-date ZFS support, with features such as de-duplication and snapshots, I didn't plan on needing these and so I was happy to settle for the older version of ZFS in FreeNAS 0.7.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The SATA ports in the case are close together, and I was lucky to only have two L-shaped SATA cable connectors; otherwise they would not fit.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The case also has a 2.5&quot; hard drive bracket, which is intended to be used for the OS/boot drive.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Booting from USB automatically with the ASUS AT3IONT-I motherboard is not obvious. You need to pretend the USB drive is a floppy disk drive.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Initially, I toyed with the idea of an integrated NAS and HTPC, but decided that there would be too many compromises; dedicated devices would be far better.

The default prompt varies for every system, but it usually gives you an indication of your username, your machine's host name and your current working directory. Also, it ends with a dollar sign &lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt; if you're working as a normal user. If you're working with &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; privileges, it ends with &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The prompt can be customized to include relevant information that can help you increase productivity, to hide information you don't care about, or to highlight the lines in your terminal output where you entered commands.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post will show how to customize your &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt; prompt, and, in the process, explain a few of its more advanced features that improve your productivity. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Bash&lt;/a&gt; is the default shell on Mac OS X, available for all (or most) Linux distributions, if not already included, and available on Windows via &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cygwin.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Cygwin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/XpnxH.png&quot; alt=&quot;Continue Reading…&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bash primarily uses two variables that define how your prompt looks like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; specifies the format of your regular prompt that appears to the left of every new command you type&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;PS2&lt;/code&gt; defines the continuation prompt: It appears when you enter a line ending with a backslash &lt;code&gt;\&lt;/code&gt; to continue input on the next line.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the following example, I split the &lt;code&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt; command over two input lines to show my system's default &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;PS2&lt;/code&gt; in action:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Saurus:~ danielbeck$ l\  &#xA;&amp;gt; s  &#xA;Desktop     Documents   Downloads   Library     Movies      Music       Pictures    Public      Sites&#xA;Saurus:~ danielbeck$ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;In this post's monospaced example sections, an underscore will represent the cursor position when showing examples of a prompt, while a single &lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt; character represents a generic prompt, except where otherwise noted.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, my &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; prompt contains&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the host name (&lt;em&gt;Saurus&lt;/em&gt;), &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the current working directory (&lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt; is a synonym to the user's home directory), &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;my username (&lt;em&gt;danielbeck&lt;/em&gt;), &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;and an indicator that I am a regular user (&lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second line is my default continuation prompt: A greater-than sign, followed by a single space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can assign different values to your prompt right in your shell session, as shown below. The values you set this way will be reset once you close your session, so you can experiment freely with the examples in this post. Just restart your shell session to reset the prompt variables to your permanent default values.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Saurus:~ danielbeck$ PS1='my new prompt $ '&#xA;my new prompt $ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To display the currently assigned values (e.g. for copying them to your bash configuration files), you can &lt;code&gt;echo&lt;/code&gt; these variables. The second line in the following example is the output of the command on the first line, the prompt is repeated after execution on the third line:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;my new prompt $ echo $PS1&#xA;my new prompt $&#xA;my new prompt $ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you start adding shell scripts and program invocations to your prompt (see &lt;em&gt;Executing scripts and programs&lt;/em&gt; below), this will already contain evaluated expressions, so you should not rely on this alone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Displaying additional information&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bash supports several placeholder sequences for certain kinds of information that are commonly displayed in a prompt. These take the format of a backslash &lt;code&gt;\&lt;/code&gt;, followed usually by a single character. Of course, you can find a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/bash.html#Printing-a-Prompt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;list of all possible placeholders&lt;/a&gt; in the bash manual. To re-create the default prompt shown above, one would enter the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; $ PS1='\h:\W \u\$'&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This prompt contains the host name, followed by a colon, followed by the current working directory, a space character, the user name, and the prompt indicator. As already mentioned above, it is a hash character &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; if the user has &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; privileges, and a dollar character &lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt; otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/290638/making-linux-shell-prompt-show-last-return-value&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/2765/xenorose&quot;&gt;Xenorose&lt;/a&gt; asked:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I'm currently on a Linux machine and the shell prompt is showing me the […] number of executed commands. My own computer doesn't have this, how can I configure it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answer is the placeholder sequence &lt;code&gt;\#&lt;/code&gt;: It prints the command number of the command following it. The first command of a bash session starts at 1, and every subsequent command increases it by 1. In the following example, &lt;code&gt;PS1='\# \$ '&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Last login: Thu Aug 25 21:54:14 on ttys001&#xA;1 $ pwd&#xA;/Users/danielbeck&#xA;2 $ pwd&#xA;/Users/danielbeck&#xA;3 $ pwd&#xA;/Users/danielbeck&#xA;4 $ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A very similar sequence is &lt;code&gt;\!&lt;/code&gt; which represents the &lt;em&gt;history number&lt;/em&gt; of the command following it. You can execute the command on that line again by entering an exclamation mark, followed by that command's &lt;em&gt;history number&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ PS1='\! $ '&#xA;1478 $ pwd&#xA;/Users/danielbeck&#xA;1479 $ cd /&#xA;1480 $ !1478&#xA;pwd&#xA;/&#xA;1481 $ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, the command executed through history expansion of &lt;code&gt;!1478&lt;/code&gt; is printed again (&lt;code&gt;pwd&lt;/code&gt;), and then executed, this time with different results.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once your prompt grows in length, you might want to add a line break or two to it by adding &lt;code&gt;\n&lt;/code&gt; at the appropriate positions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Colors&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The prompt, or parts of it, can also be a different color than the default. Doing this is a bit tricky though. There are another few special sequences used for this. Similar to HTML or other document markup languages, the highlighted parts are enclosed in a pair of special formatting sequences. For HTML, this would be the &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag pair. In bash, it looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;regular text \[\033[0;32m\] green text \[\033[m\] regular text again&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This example produces the following output:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QVn2n.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The actual formatting code is enclosed, similar to angle brackets for HTML tags. &lt;code&gt;\[&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;\]&lt;/code&gt; are special sequences that indicate non-printing sequences, so bash can ignore everything between them for length calculations (e.g. when wrapping output lines depending on the terminal width). Strictly speaking, they're optional, but you don't want to mess up your terminal's line breaking behavior by skipping them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;\033&lt;/code&gt; is another special sequence: The digits are octal and represent the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ASCII&lt;/a&gt; character with the corresponding code, in this case &lt;em&gt;Escape&lt;/em&gt;. It starts a terminal control escape sequence (&lt;code&gt;\033[…m&lt;/code&gt;) specifying font and color attributes. For a list of such escape sequences, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this web page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We use two of these sequences:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;\033[0;32m&lt;/code&gt; resets text formatting and makes the following output a regular green&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;\033[m&lt;/code&gt; is an &quot;empty&quot; sequence containing no formatting rules. It resets output formatting to its defaults.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/Bash-prompts.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;This page&lt;/a&gt; provides a nice &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; (at the bottom) so you can see all colors and other formatting options as part of a single &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt;. Just be prepared to endure blinking text, if your terminal emulator can handle it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Through some &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt; debugging facilities, it's even possible to add these formatting rules to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/204003/make-os-x-terminal-commands-i-type-bold&quot;&gt;commands you enter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Executing scripts and programs&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can execute arbitrary CLI programs as part of displaying your prompt, adding their output to it. For example, you might not like the behavior of &lt;code&gt;\W&lt;/code&gt; to print &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt; instead of the full path to your home directory. No problem, just run &lt;code&gt;pwd&lt;/code&gt;, enclosed in &lt;code&gt;$( )&lt;/code&gt;, instead:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Saurus:~ danielbeck$ PS1='\h:$( pwd ) \u\$ '&#xA;Saurus:/Users/danielbeck danielbeck$ _&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We usually have a choice of enclosing strings in single or double quotation marks. Since &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt; evaluates all expressions enclosed in &lt;code&gt;$(…)&lt;/code&gt;, like &lt;code&gt;$( pwd )&lt;/code&gt; here, as well as variables (e.g. &lt;code&gt;$PS1&lt;/code&gt;), when enclosed in double quotation marks, we need to make sure to put values assigned to &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; in single quotation marks now. It didn't make a difference earlier, but we want these commands to be evaluated every time &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; is printed by the shell, not just once when the value is assigned to &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt;. Just remember to always use single quotation marks and you won't run into this problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my experience, it's sometimes easy to overlook non-zero return codes of more complex commands with many lines of output. To make sure I notice these possible errors, I can add the previous command's return code to my prompt, like with the following &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;PS1='$( RET=$?; if [ $RET != 0 ] ; then echo &quot;rc: $RET&quot;; fi )\n\$ '&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a side effect, your prompt will now always start with a blank line if the previous command returned &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt;. While you can add line breaks to your prompt by using the sequence &lt;code&gt;\n&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt; discards all other newlines that are a result of e.g. multi-line program return values.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to have a multi-line output depending on some conditions, you need to put that part of your prompt into the variable &lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND&lt;/code&gt;. It is expected to contain a script that is executed just before &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; is printed. To continue with the previous example of program return codes, use the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND='RET=$?; if [ $RET != 0 ] ; then echo &quot;rc: $RET&quot;; fi'&#xA;PS1='\$ '&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This produces almost the same results as the previous example, except that executing programs with exit code 0 won't print an additional blank line now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To reset &lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND&lt;/code&gt; again, you can assign it an empty value:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND=&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Complete example&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The following prompt is an example on how you could combine the various elements I mentioned above into a powerful and informative prompt. I've been using this prompt, or slight variations of it, for a few months now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll start with &lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND&lt;/code&gt;, as its output appears first:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;PROMPT_COMMAND='RET=$?; echo; if [ $RET != 0 ] ; then echo &quot;rc: $RET&quot;; fi; if [ &quot;$PWD&quot; != &quot;$HOME&quot; ]; then if [ $( ls -A | wc -l ) -lt 20 ]; then ls -mAF; fi; else ls -mF; fi'&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This reads the last command's return value, and if non-zero, prints it on a separate line.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the current working directory &lt;em&gt;is not&lt;/em&gt; the home directory, and has fewer than 20 files and folders in it, list them. If the current working directory &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; the home directory, only list non-hidden files and folders.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The prompt itself:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]\u\[\033[00m\] in \[\033[0;32m\]$( pwd ) ($( OUT=$( ls -A | wc -l ); echo $OUT ) entries, $(( $( ls -A | wc -l ) - $( ls | wc -l ) )) hidden)\n\[\033[1;32m\]#\# !\! \$\[\033[;m\] '&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Print the user name,&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the full current working directory (i.e. no &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;/Users/danielbeck&lt;/code&gt;),&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the numbers of both all and hidden files and folders in the current working directory,&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;and on the next line, print the command and history numbers, and the root privileges indicator &lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On my Mac, it looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QaA7m.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Through color highlighting, the prompt is easily visible between program invocations with lots of output. It prints the previous command's return code unless it's &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt;, and lists all files in the current directory if the file count is reasonably low. I prefer this to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/190554/whats-equivalent-to-alias-cs-cdls-but-with-the-argument-to-cs-going-to-cd&quot;&gt;functions that combine &lt;code&gt;cd&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, as I can immediately see the changes to the current directory after program execution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Persisting changes&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I wrote at the beginning, your prompt is not kept across shell sessions when you simply set &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; (or &lt;code&gt;PS2&lt;/code&gt;) in your shell.

The Raspberry Pi counts on this - you can run whatever you want, on top of whatever OS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, there's edge cases for the first feature. One rather obvious one that cropped up was a question where a console was being used to run ps3mediaserver. So, in this case the PS3 is being used as a general purpose computing device. In addition, this &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be solvable by other means, maybe using a different encoder on the PC end.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think general purpose computing devices have a range of options for input and output (which phones don't have, but consoles do) and perform a range of tasks based on said IO devices - i can plug in a monitor to my laptop, but not a phone, and i can use a keyboard and mouse/trackball/mind reading device on my desktop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second tends to simply mean, i can download and run what i want - but nearly everything, and the toaster does it, but not an iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Opinions, and hopefully non rotten, non excessively hard flung fruit welcome. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10165" LastEditorUserId="9666" LastEditDate="2011-08-29T16:27:06.150" LastActivityDate="2015-09-24T01:57:17.987" Title="How is the term  &quot;Computer&quot; defined on Super User?"

To be honest I think that most of us can figure this out by ourselves without having to pin it down to specific details, because once we do that, then most inevitably someone will come along and say:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why are some questions allowed while mine wasn't?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;But if it has such and such components then doesn't that make it a computer?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or what's to say that in this ever changing world of computing, that hardware and software changes will make these definitions that we set in place obsolete?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what do we do?  How about instead of defining what a computer is to Super User, we rather define what it isn't?  Or in other words, and more importantly, what is on-topic for Super User and what isn't.  It isn't really a definition of the word 'Computer' but rather what Super User considers to be on-topic for the site.  In my opinion, these are not allowed on Super User for either the reason that they belong on a better suited site elsewhere in Stack Exchange, or just simply don't belong due to lack of 'conformity' with other content allowed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;iPads, Galaxy tabs, and other 'tablets'  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;phones of ANY kind&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Media devices (including MP3 players, BD/DVD players, etc,.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;gaming consoles&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally the all knowing wife of mine pretty much says it all:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The computer is... a bunch of 1's and 0's combined with motherboards, and memories and video cards, that keep husbands away from wives!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="47225" LastActivityDate="2011-08-29T07:16:53.637" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It apparently doesn't violate any rule, as far as I can see. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, in some way the question is very broad (you could talk forever about online security risks), and at the same time it can be answered in one sentence, as the consequences for you are the same, regardless of the background (which we can only guess about).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your questions were:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So, where do these users come from and what's their goal?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think this can be reasonably answered.

Well, obviously to sell you stuff in the long run or to harm you in any other way. This is what spam is all about. Does it matter what they're really up to?

An example would be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/275894/how-to-mess-up-a-pc-running-windows-7&quot;&gt;How to mess up a PC running Windows 7?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ok, so for my PC class I have to find 3 hacks that would mess up the lab's PC. Me and my partner are going to mess up the PC and then another team will try to fix it. The system on it is Windows 7. Anything that would stop the normal use or render the PC useless works.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is not a hypothetical question. It's on topic, it's very practical, and it teaches you about stuff you might want to avoid, or gives you an idea about Windows or PC internals you haven't yet heard of. And of course, its answers are funny.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How do we deal with fun questions?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Jeff continues with:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I should clarify that we absolutely do not want the site overrun with “fun” questions. There’s no way we’re sacrificing our core Q&amp;amp;A mission to turn into a brainless LOL-fest like Reddit or Digg. But, there is a certain balance we’re trying to achieve. A world without fun is like a world without waffles and ponies. And what kind of monster would want that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think an important part about the whole thing is that as soon reputation is involved, the whole idea of reputation is for the birds. Why should you receive a potentially enormous amount of reputation for &amp;quot;just a funny answer&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;story&amp;quot;)? Some people work very hard for their reputation and it would be far too easy to cheat the system and get rewarded for the wrong reasons (at least in the current status of this Q/A system).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, making such questions Community Wiki is the only way to deal with it. But Community Wiki was never meant to handle this. We'd be making a post CW for the wrong reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, we've learned that discussion-style or open-ended questions don't make sense on this platform. Long lists of answers become cluttered. First answers float to the top, while late answers don't get any attention at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's not for the sake of not wanting fun that I wouldn't want these questions to dominate the site. It's for the problems that come with reputation, their ton of answers and their style of discussion. As @random said, these kinds of things would probably be better suited for our Chat or reddit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize, I'd say: Make it on-topic, make it useful, and don't make it open-ended, then I'd personally have nothing against a fun question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2011-08-30T18:32:17.407" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I do not exactly know how mods deal with flags, but I believe that it is possible to not review the flags in order.

I acted with the best of intentions (as evidenced to some extent by my 700+ flag weight before this), in accordance with many meta posts, and made it clear, in act (this was not the first time I flagged so many things) and in word (I made a post asking for more flags) that this is what I was going to do to a greater or lesser extent.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Finally, to quote someone else (don't remember who, apologies) it is not possible to spam flags. I don't think that the issue is that the flags were bad.

I would normally assume that &#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;rejecting 22 flags in a row from a single user is extremely atypical and that&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;doing this to a user that has a flag weight of 700+ is even more exceptional.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I would hope, that if something that &quot;off&quot; for lack of a better word were to happen, there would be more patience, and not just a &quot;I can't get to chat right now cause I'm at work, so without being able to know what was going on, I'll effectively nullify what amounts to around &lt;strong&gt;250&lt;/strong&gt; good flags.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I do not mean to suggest that he was deliberately out to do this. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I do mean to suggest that when mods are taking such &quot;large&quot; actions they should be more careful / thoughtful.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As semi-summary, when a mod makes a careless mistake and acknowledges it upfront, I don't have an issue.

From the early days cutting my tech teeth on my own first computer running Windows 98 and then Windows 2000 and being too poor to pay somebody else to upgrade the system or repair it for me when my own (or my brother's) stupidity or clumsiness crashed the thing, to being the on-site technical presence as an office assistant in a small not-for-profit, to getting my first &quot;real&quot; IT job for a large-ish not-for-profit doing end user support for 150 on-site users and another 50 remote users, to fixing computer problems for every Tom, Dick, and Harry who came to the service desk at a large electronics retailor, to the white-collar office jobs of the last few years; it has been an engaging, illuminating, educating, frustrating, and ultimately worthwhile pursuit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While it's not the most glamorous position nor the best paid, end-user IT support occurs at the confluence of two great passions of mine: people and computers, For me it is an incredibly fulfilling job.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I'd be nowhere without my tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume every geek has a list like mine: a list of tools, utilities, tricks, gimmicks, black- and white-magik spells that allow you to tame the raging beasts threatening to consume users. Like others, probably, I don't hold my list too tightly. If another tool does a better job, it may easily replace an existing tool. However, even if it does a better job, if it doesn't work the way I want to work or need to work, whichever the case may be, an arguably superior product is not guaranteed inclusion in my toolbox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/XpnxH.png&quot; alt=&quot;Continue Reading…&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My tools accompany me wherever I go. They generally reside on several thumbdrives, and I know where to get them so if (when) friends or family ask me for assistance (and I state my price, there's always a price, whether it's a steak dinner next time I'm over, or an extra slice of pie, or $200 for a file recovery), I can download them and get to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each tool has it's own purpose, strengths, and weaknesses, but their overall goal, to me, is that they enable me to meet people's technology needs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The tools in my toolbox consist almost entirely of file and system utilities. I don't have many network tools that I use with any regularity. This is perhaps a result of my focus on the end user PC rather than on the network that PC may be connected to. I'm no slouch when it comes to setting up networks, but I'll have to refer to google if you ask me about subnets or fishnets.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But enough about the tools, let's get to the tools themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Autoruns from Sysinternals&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/w1JEX.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Autoruns: Now you know what&amp;#39;s running on my computer.&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Autoruns: Now you know what's running on my computer.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't often sit down at a computer where I do not pull out Autoruns and give it a quick spin. This got me in trouble with my father-in-law back when he was just my girlfriend's dad. First time meeting her family, first morning there, first time sitting down at their oh-so-slow family computer, and helpful little me tried fixing things. Girlfriend's dad was the type who knew enough to be dangerous and no more. Three different antivirus suites vying for supremacy on that computer, to say nothing of the numerous branded camera applications, printer and keyboard managers, and just plain annoying running programs at startup. 10 minutes later the computer was breathing it's first fresh air in a decade and I was in the dog house. Suffice it to say, I learned to touch systems lightly after that unless I had explicit permission, and I still use Autoruns to keep computers  running quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Autoruns is handy for aggressively optimizing system performance by controlling start up entries, and it's one of the more thorough utilities out there for this. Do you see those advertisements for computer speed up services that offer online resolution to all your system's ailments? At the very worst I can do 90% of what they claim with Autoruns alone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are not familiar with system startups, with drivers, system services, or how all those cool options show up in your right-click menus, you probably shouldn't use this tool. Ccleaner (elsewhere on this list) has a function for you that gives you fewer ways to completely bollux up your system. But if you need to resurrect a system bogged down under a collapsing weight of detritus and you know your way around a computer, Autoruns should be your best friend.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even viruses have a hard time hiding themselves from this tool. While it's generally not capable of removing running malware by itself, it is invaluable in that it can show where the files are located and running from, how they're starting, and what type of infection you're dealing with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Process Explorer by Sysinternals&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/J6duI.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Process Explorer: The oversized 19 year old on the highschool football team.&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Process Explorer: The oversized 19 year old on the highschool football team.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If Autoruns is msconfig (and then some) on steroids, Process Explorer is task manager on THC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ever have that one file that won't delete? That mystery happening that you're not sure which process is spawning? Or did you just like getting details on your Shareable Working Set and I/O Read and Write Delta  while peeking at all the network connections of a particular process? Process Explorer is your man, er app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Used in tandem with Autoruns, you can find the startup entries that need to by bye-bye and then kill their accompanying process. Voila! No need to reboot to experience most of the benefit of the startup manager.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you just can't figure out what is holding a file hostage, search all the running processes and stacks for any references to that files name or path and then end the offending process and delete the file. Hint: It's probably explorer.exe. And yes, stopping explorer.exe, deleting the file, and restarting explorer.exe will probably not cause any significant damage to your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Process Explorer is also good at giving me a real-time view of processes spawning processes, making it invaluable for hunting down viral traces. Process Monitor also come in handy as a real-time view of anything and everything occurring in the file system and registry. But I find my need for it is limited to special occasions and unique situations that other tools and tricks can't handle. If information on the system and it's processes is what I need, Autoruns and  Process Explorer are my go-to tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;RevoUninstaller&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NtGPu.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;RevoUninstaller: When programs won&amp;#39;t go quietly.&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;RevoUninstaller: When programs won&amp;#39;t go quietly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still along the generic system management and optimization path is &lt;strong&gt;RevoUninstaller&lt;/strong&gt;. I understand there are other tools that do what RevoUninstaller does and more, such as PC Decrapifyer (which wins points on it's name, sight unseen), and I've heard of one Master Uninstaller or something like that. But RevoUninstaller is what I've used for a while now and it does a pretty decent job.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, RevoUninstaller runs a program's built-in uninstaller and then searches the file system and registry (at varying levels of aggressiveness you choose) for any traces of the apps that didn't get removed. It's not perfect. Especially when it comes to app add-ins and multiple apps installed in the same directory in Program Files. It also knows it's own weaknesses pretty well and will warn you if it detects multiple programs are likely to meet it's search criteria (like multiple versions of MS Office on the same computer). So combined with a little common sense, it's another tool I'll break out on any computer I'm working on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A cool trick of RevoUninstaller (or an annoyance, depending on what you're trying to do) is that it apparently doesn't just monitor the file and registry changes made by the app you're uninstalling through it, but it monitors all uninstaller processes that occur while it's own uninstaller is processing. For instance, if you run the Add/Remove Windows Components (available through the Add/Remove Programs dialog) and remove windows components such as Messenger or Outlook Express or Games while an uninstall is running through RevoUninstaller, when it comes time to show you the files and registry bits it thinks the uninstaller left behind, RevoUninstaller will also show you the files and registry bits the Windows Components Wizard left behind. Generally, this results in more headache than win! But if you've just gotta have Outlook Express totally removed, this is how it's done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;CCleaner by Piriform and Cleanup! by Steven Gould&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/tB3C5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Cleanup: Tasty temp files!

This second feature means you must be careful what you clean. If you've got admin on the box (and what self-respecting tech working on a random computer hasn't established a temporary admin account from which to do their repairs), say goodbye to any MRU lists or cached files that the users were so dependent on. There'll be a minor heart attack when they find their favorite website isn't popping down in the address bar because it was listed in an MRU list and not saved as a favorite. I did that to the personal computer of the director of a major hospital. A shipment of used hospital gowns showed up on my doorstep the next day.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the task calls for a more delicate touch, CCleaner comes in handy. While you cannot remove temporary items from any user accounts besides the one you're logged in with, you're also not removing any friendly familiar interface stuff from the other accounts. Plus, CCleaner has a decent registry cleaner that is quickly becoming a standard process for me immediately following any cleaning by Autoruns and RevoUninstaller.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A cool feature of CCleaner is that it can be preconfigured and scripted. By setting your desired options and then running the executable using the command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ccleaner.exe /auto&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...you can automate a cleanup process. In order to make a safe, user-runnable, single executable, just package ccleaner.exe and the batch script using &lt;em&gt;iexpress&lt;/em&gt; and set the package to extract silently, run the batch script, and then delete the extracted files upon completion. What you end up with is small executable that runs a preconfigured CCleaner without any user interaction. No need for walking users (or parents, uncles, aunts, etc) through selecting the right options in an overly powerful program and then hearing &quot;oops&quot; over the phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These 4-ish tools are used nearly every day. From doing a hard uninstall of Adobe Reader 10, which at version 10.1 decided it likes to crash each and every time it starts unless you remove it and then reinstall using not the 10.1 patch, but the full 10.1 installer, to addressing random errors and finicky interface issues, to &quot;speeding up&quot; the system of the one user in the office who always complains about how slow their computer is and giving that person one less excuse before they're fired for their own laxadaisical habits. It's fun taking away excuses from lazy people, and it's good sense to make sure everybody you support or help can get the most from their computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a few more tools I've found especially handy in specific situations and so they find themselves on my thumbdrive as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;NOD32 by Eset&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It used to be that &lt;strong&gt;NOD32 by Eset&lt;/strong&gt; could be modified into a portable package that could even be updated from a full installation resulting in a powerful AV tool that could fit on and run from a thumbdrive. This tool has been on my thumbdrive since 2004, when it was incredibly handy for running virus scans on customer boxes at the electronics store. I'd usually start by running the computer in safe mode, plugging my thumbdrive in, and copying the NOD32 tool as well as AV tools from Trendmicro and Stinger by McAfee, Autoruns, Process Explorer, and Cleanup. Then I'd run all the tools in safe mode once or twice, then again in normal mode a couple more times. Then if the infections were still down in there, I'd slave the hard drive in another computer and run aggressive scans from there. It took a while to do, but because I'd start the scan and then work on other systems while the scans were running, it wasn't that bad a setup.&#xA;And it worked really well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My personal record regarding viral cleanup was a custom rig brought in by a guy whose sons had installed nearly every file sharing program available. The kids had installed eMule, eDonkey, Morpheus, Napster, Gnutella, Limewire, a couple early torrent apps, and probably a few other P2P programs I've forgotten. None of the infections were particularly terrible, mostly the standard &quot;create a million copies of files with interesting pr0n names andput them in every directory imaginable&quot; viruses. But more than 90% of the files on the computer were viral. There were more than 800,000 files on that computer when we got it and fewer than 18,000 when we gave it back. Still working even. I took the opportunity to tell the dad that he was perfectly within his rights to inform his sons they were not allowed to touch his computer. They were mid-teens and could get jobs at McD's to buy their own computer. He's just lucky I didn't add an extenuating circumstances fee to his service charge. After all, he paid just over 1/100th of a cent per file we removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Cleanspl&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleanspl&lt;/strong&gt;, part of the Server 2003 (and following?) Resource Kit, works on non-domain systems as well, and I've found it handy for cleaning recalcitrant printer drivers (&lt;em&gt;cough&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;HP, printer drivers don't need to be more than 500MB&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cough&lt;/em&gt;) and for those odd times that Adobe Acrobat decides it really just wants everybody to (not) get along.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I know these aren't all the tools out there. And I know it is highly likely they aren't the best tools at what they do out there. And I know that y'all probably have tools that are indispensable to you, or you encounter situations that are different from my own in which the tools I use are inadequate to your experience. In the best spirit of geekdom, I still want to learn. I want to discover and find out and progress and grow. And in some small way, this means finding new tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what are your tools and what do you use them for?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-08T16:41:08.770" LastActivityDate="2011-09-01T15:19:11.050" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This discussion remains for historical completeness, but the issue has been resolved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These flags were declined because of a misunderstanding and some miscommunication. We're still having some discussions among the moderators about how to handle things like this in the future. I am going to try to sum things up in a fair and unbiased manner. Please, let's try to keep the comments calm and polite - remember, &lt;strong&gt;moderators are humans too, and can make mistakes&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The flags were marked invalid because a moderator felt that quantity of delete flags in that amount of time was excessive. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There was a sentiment that moderators should not be removing vast quantities of questions at once with no community involvement, and that vote-to-delete privileges should be exercised for this purpose. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the future, &lt;strong&gt;if you have a &lt;em&gt;long&lt;/em&gt; list of questions that you think ought to be removed, it would be preferable to post them in a list on Meta&lt;/strong&gt;, so that there is some community involvement in the removal process. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/117/super-user-vote-to-close-delete&quot;&gt;vote to close/delete chat room&lt;/a&gt; which can be used for the community to coordinate working together to remove low quality posts&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;em&gt;general&lt;/em&gt; policy for handling flags is that if it appears the user was trying to be helpful, we mark the flag as valid, but this is not always the case.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was a very isolated case, in which a moderator was unaware that users had been specifically asked to flag questions for deletion under certain criteria, and felt that the deluge of flags was excessive. &lt;strong&gt;Rest assured that we do want you to continue flagging posts when you see a problem!&lt;/strong&gt; There are some times when other means might be better, but please don't be afraid to flag things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, to put this in some perspective: although your flag weight dropped significantly, which is understandably very frustrating, our flag quee is normally short enough that &lt;em&gt;it doesn't really matter&lt;/em&gt;. I know this may be of little consolation, but your flags are still being seen. Honestly, flag weight is not nearly the big deal that a lot of people make it out to be. That being said, your concerns about the sudden large drop are valid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, in the future, here is what I would recommend:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As you browse the site, if you happen across stuff that should be removed, feel free to flag it. Adding a bit more explanation (not just saying &quot;Please delete&quot;, but why) helps add context to the flag.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you're doing a major clean-up effort, then it might be better to put everything in a meta post and let the moderators and users with vote-to-delete privileges work through it at their own pace. This allows more community involvement and doesn't unnecessarily add to the flag queue&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you are flagging things because of the recommendations on a particular meta post, include a link to it in your flag, for example, &lt;code&gt;please delete - see discussion of clean-up efforts in meta.superuser.com/foo/bar&lt;/code&gt;. This way the moderators know you aren't just randomly asking for dozens of questions to be removed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm sorry that this misunderstanding arose. I don't know if there will be any further resolution from this or not, but we are discussing it and will see what happens. In the meantime, remember that flag weight is just a number, and this is just a website. &lt;strong&gt;If you keep contributing helpful flags like you have been, it'll go back up.&lt;/strong&gt; Moderators are human too, sometimes mistakes are made. Let's just take this as a learning opportunity on both sides, and hope we don't have a problem like this again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastEditorUserId="20088" LastEditDate="2011-09-06T19:20:31.930" LastActivityDate="2011-09-06T19:20:31.930" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On a first look, not much has changed between that snapshot and the latest version, although the second page doesn't seem to be available. I guess there are similar snapshot services.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another possibility would be to use &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/creative-commons-data-dump-jun-11/&quot;&gt;the official data dumps&lt;/a&gt; from a date before the question was deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know you didn't want to argue whether it should have been deleted or not, but …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;[…] might have been the canonical &quot;what should I install on a new Windows computer question&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;… is a tough statement.

Given that the question was two years old, it would have been very hard – if not impossible – to even suggest a new application. It would have been stuck at page 6 or 7.

However, it is something that deserves substantial consideration.  Although spending more on a quality power supply won't increase your computer's performance, it would be one of your best investments, because &lt;strong&gt;a power supply failure can take the rest of your computer with it&lt;/strong&gt;.  Furthermore, a decent unit will not need to be replaced when newer parts are installed in your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##1: Do your research##&#xA;Power supply quality varies greatly among manufacturers, and even among units from the same manufacturer.  Determine the company who actually manufactured the unit, rather than the company who put their brand on it, and make sure they are a reliable company.  For example, Corsair units are usually made by either Seasonic or Channel Well, who both make decent units.  On the other hand, Allied units which come with some computer cases are made by Solytech, who has been known to make ticking time bombs.  This information is usually available by looking up the UL certification number, but often times more research is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/iD0b9.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/iD0b9.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Low-Quality Power Supply with Yellow PCB&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://notgeek.net/yellow_pcb_s.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;notgeek.net&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another way to determine power supply quality is from opening the unit up.  Quality units will have a green PCB, rather than a beige-yellow one (pictured above).  They also have quality capacitors rated for high temperatures, and dedicated protection circuitry.  Although the average computer probably isn't inclined to void their warranty, many power supply reviews contain teardown pictures, as well as expert opinions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In either case, Tom's Hardware published a great article with information on how to determine your unit's quality, as well as a table of manufacturers.  It is a great resource for determining power supply quality, and a good read.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6BIBI.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6BIBI.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Quality Fan Grille compared with Cheap one&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://notgeek.net/grille_s.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;notgeek.net&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the power supply's fan grille is a good indication of quality.  A fan grille stamped out of metal is a good indication that corners have been cut, since it is the cheapest style of fan grille.  The left fan grille pictured above is a quality unit, while the right one is a cheap model.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##2: Find a power supply with the 80 Plus designation##&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6yVqq.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6yVqq.gif&quot; alt=&quot;80 Plus&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/images/standard.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;plugloadsolutions.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/MGfHn.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/MGfHn.gif&quot; alt=&quot;80 Plus Bronze&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/images/bronze.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;plugloadsolutions.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/GUFFI.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/GUFFI.gif&quot; alt=&quot;80 Plus Silver&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/images/silver.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;plugloadsolutions.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5m7B2.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5m7B2.gif&quot; alt=&quot;80 Plus Gold&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/images/gold.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;plugloadsolutions.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ryDWP.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ryDWP.gif&quot; alt=&quot;80 Plus Platinum&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plugloadsolutions.com/images/platinum.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;plugloadsolutions.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if power consumption from the wall isn't much of a consideration, the lost energy is turned to heat, necessitating higher velocity fans, resulting in a louder unit.  Power supplies bearing the 80 Plus designation and logo have been tested by an independent company who ensures the power supply meets efficiency requirements (80% efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% load).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Multiple ratings exist for better efficiencies, although there is little difference between designations.  Higher ratings can indicate newer/better units, such as the 80 Plus bronze/silver rated Corsair HX series from 2009, compared to the 80 Plus gold rated Corsair AX series from 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##3: Avoid power supplies with multiple 12v rails.##&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These rails are usually just separate over-current protection units operating from the same 12v source.  While they don't necessarily decrease the efficiency of the power supply, they do make it more difficult to access the 12v current.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ynz1u.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ynz1u.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;OCZ 4-rail unit label&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://notgeek.net/4rail_s.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;notgeek.net&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, the OCZ600SXS unit is a quad-rail design (pictured above), with two rails to each half of an EPS12v (2x4 pin) CPU connector, one rail to the PCI-e, and one to the motherboard/peripherals.  This means that if it were used on a motherboard with an ATX12v (2x2 pin) CPU connector, an entire rail would be lost.  Furthermore, even if a very power-efficient CPU (such as a Core i5-2390T) were used, high end graphics cards and multiple graphics card setups could have trouble getting sufficient power.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While most multiple rail power supplies only have two or three rails, it can still prove to be problematic, particularly if one peripheral (such as a graphics card) draws significantly more power than the rest of the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##4: Read the label!##&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Checking the power supply wattage is not enough.  Make sure that most of the current is available from the 12v output.  Modern systems draw the most power from the 12v line.  Since this wasn't always the case, many older designs provide most of the power on the 5v or 3.3v lines, which does no good for modern systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, consider a Logisys PS480E12 480W power supply, and a Thermaltake TR-380P 380w power supply.  While the Logisys unit is rated at a much higher wattage, its 12v current rating is just 16A, whereas the Thermaltake 12v rating is 30A.  Therefore, despite the lower power rating, the Thermaltake unit is much better suited for modern computers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##5: Buy a power supply sufficient for your needs, and no more.##&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although the market is flooded with high current power supplies, you might be surprised at how little power your computer requires (A quad-core i5-2400 and GTS 450 can require as little as 300 watts).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, efficiency of power supplies significantly drops under light use, which is why 80 Plus power supplies aren't rated for less than 20% loads.  While the increase in power consumption may be minimal, higher-wattage power supplies will still get hotter, necessitating more airflow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OuterVision eXtreme publishes an extensive power supply calculator utility for free, which can give you a great idea of how much power your system needs.  The paid version will also tell you how much current on each voltage you should look for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Feel free to plan for future upgrades.  But if you don't expect to be running large hard drive arrays or multiple graphics cards, don't waste your money on an overly powerful power supply.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;eXtreme PSU Calculator: &lt;a href=&quot;http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="88635" LastEditorUserId="442468" LastEditDate="2021-02-03T12:55:28.583" LastActivityDate="2021-02-03T12:55:28.583" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You can always logically split up one answer into multiple parts, using horizontal lines and headlines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Posting multiple answers was useful when we had poll questions, e.g. &quot;What is the best &lt;em&gt;XY&lt;/em&gt; to do this and that?&quot;, &quot;What was your best moment in a programmer's life?&quot;. This would allow people to individually vote on suggestions based on their personal preference or opinion. These kinds of questions are not really acceptable anymore. If a question has an unlimited set of answers, and every answer would be equally valid, it should probably be closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voting should primarily be based on the usefulness of your answer. Your two answers were probably equally useful and very much alike, I don't see why they should be completely separate. I don't think there would have been upvotes on an individual solution, and I also don't think there would have been any individual downvote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Posting multiple answers &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; make sense when you have two &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; different solutions likely leading to diverging vote behavior (e.g. a full, complete solution vs. a workaround).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Discussion about a solution should belong in the comments anyway and result in an edit explaining further details if needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If both answers work, only one can be accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And finally:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're essentially gaming the system. By posting two answers that could also stand as one, you're getting double the reputation.

These questions are the very&#xA;definition of exact duplicates; they are typically from users who&#xA;willfully take the very same question and post it again. Either&#xA;they’re not satisfied with the speed of answer, or they just don’t&#xA;know what they’re doing. We rely on Stack Overflow users to vote&#xA;down these “questions” and flag them for moderator attention. These&#xA;sorts of duplicates are typically deleted as soon as we see them, as&#xA;they’re borderline abuse of the system. They often don’t get&#xA;answers, so this is fairly easy to deal with. No grey area here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accidental duplicates&lt;/strong&gt;. These questions aren’t copy and paste, but&#xA;they cover the exact same ground as an earlier Stack Overflow&#xA;question. The overlap is not ambiguous; the question uses the same&#xA;words and asks the same fundamental question, with no variation at&#xA;all. This is a failing on several levels; of the asker to do proper&#xA;diligence before asking, of our internal ask page title search, and&#xA;possibly of Google search as well. We rely on Stack Overflow users&#xA;to link these questions together by closing them as “exact&#xA;duplicate” and posting the URL (as a comment, or edit) to the&#xA;question this is a duplicate of. These sometimes have multiple good&#xA;answers attached to each question. We will use our new moderator&#xA;question merge function to merge them together without losing any&#xA;answers or comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Borderline duplicates&lt;/strong&gt;. These questions are ambiguous; they’re in the&#xA;same ballpark as a previous question, but have subtle differences&#xA;that may make them legitimately standalone questions. These are&#xA;subject to interpretation. We rely on Stack Overflow users to tag&#xA;these questions appropriately so they naturally “group” with the&#xA;questions they’re related to. The more tags the questions have in&#xA;common, the more likely they are to show up together on the related&#xA;questions sidebar. You can also edit in links to the possibly&#xA;duplicated posts, if appropriate, but be sure to make the tags match&#xA;so the system can figure out the relationship without as much manual&#xA;effort. There’s often benefit to having multiple subtle variants of&#xA;a question around, as people tend to ask and search using completely&#xA;different words, and the better our coverage, the better odds our&#xA;fellow programmers can find the answer they’re looking for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="80670" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:44.773" LastActivityDate="2011-09-11T17:32:19.347" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's difficult not to, because most &lt;em&gt;I'm looking for an X that does Y&lt;/em&gt; questions cannot be answered otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hardware with its shorter product cycles and usually much larger number of options is different, and many products are &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; similar, being based on the same components, making recommendations for one but not the other often rather pointless. And it's a lot more difficult to find some obscure piece of software, than some obscure piece of hardware you can actually buy. Just browse computer stores and the shopping sites: if it's not there, you can't get it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;AFAICT, we're happy to answer (and have) questions like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I want a software that does X&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I want X but for Linux&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I want something like X but without its annoying characteristics&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I want a tool like X but free&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Several of the topics we are voting to close right now are &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; similar: &lt;em&gt;I want the best X&lt;/em&gt;. Now, of course, it's subjective what's the best X is. But users have always voted on and accepted as answer what they liked most, i.e., according to their criteria, &lt;em&gt;the best&lt;/em&gt;. Likewise did other users answer primarily what software they like most that fits the criteria (i.e. being an X).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As an example, consider &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/21155/best-quicksilver-clone-on-windows&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/questions/21155/best-quicksilver-clone-on-windows&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Wouldn't we tolerate it, if the user instead asked:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I'm looking for a tool that allows me to launch applications quickly (with hotkeys) using the keyboard? Doing basic calculations, note taking and creating new documents would be a plus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And what exactly would be the difference? Quicksilver is a well-known program that does this (and more), so it's rather obvious what the user is asking about. In other cases, explaining what something does is far more work (and not any more helpful) than giving a well-known example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And he doesn't want the tool someone hacked together in half a day, so he's asking for &lt;em&gt;the best&lt;/em&gt;. But does this really make any difference? It's no different than asking to please not suggest crap that doesn't work. The user'll still try more than the most up voted tool (unless it's perfect for his needs) and accept the answer best suiting his needs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a way, I like questions like the example above even more than some of the more obscure software recommendation questions. Topics like these can help a lot of people and make them aware of competitors of something they're already using. Some of other recommendation questions are really only helpful to the person asking (even though they cannot be considered &lt;em&gt;too localized&lt;/em&gt;). OTOH, they suffer from serious up votes for popular answers, giving newcomers little chance to be discovered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So how is it we consider &lt;em&gt;What's the best X?&lt;/em&gt; to be off-topic, but accept questions like &lt;em&gt;I need recommendations for an X&lt;/em&gt;? &lt;strong&gt;Aren't they the same thing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22317" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.537" LastActivityDate="2011-09-30T08:08:59.263" Title="Recommendations for the BEST?"

Hey, there are over 1000 of them as of now. I am talking about how I think a good  software recommendation question can still exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact you are right that there is a sort of ambiguity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;As an example, consider Best QuickSilver clone on Windows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Wouldn't we tolerate it, if the user instead asked: […]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Exactly. At least from what I've seen in the last months, software recommendations were actually fine as long as they were based on facts (i.e. certain features, measurable speed, user interface constraints, versions, open-source, price). And since software doesn't rapidly change as much as hardware does, those were fine at least at the point of writing and the following few months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However …&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For most of the old software recommendation questions, it's just the usual problem of clutter, lack of consistency, missing context, et cetera. This is a problem with the answers, &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; the question per se. The question might be driven by a problem many people have.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sooner or later, this will happen to all of these, if we don't take care of them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do in the future?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, in the first instance, whenever you see a subjective recommendation-type question …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Don't close as &lt;em&gt;not constructive&lt;/em&gt; immediately.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try to salvage it. Ask the OP what their criteria are or emphasize them (maybe even in the title).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Edit the question accordingly.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even more so, I think software-recommendations (as long as they're not &quot;What do you use?&quot;) &lt;strong&gt;can be worth keeping&lt;/strong&gt;. Maybe we should set up a few constraints for answers, like for example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Including name, official website&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Including estimated price, license&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Including &lt;strong&gt;context&lt;/strong&gt;. Let the OP know &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; this meets their criteria. This is the most important part.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Including a screenshot, if possible.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I don't think all of these should be closed.

The problem is not what is in front of it, the problem is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/recommendation&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;recommendation&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;recommendation&lt;/a&gt; part. Jeff covered this a while back on the blog with &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;Q&amp;amp;A is hard, let's go shopping&lt;/a&gt;. These policies where put in place over time, some across all the sites, some specifically on Super User. The latter I was involved in heavily, since for some time in the beginning I was the only active moderator, before we added the team currently moderating the site. However, the quality of the question are more important. A lot of these are low quality and closed quickly. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you want to enforce this rule, I'd mod-hammer it, otherwise you'll have people like me confused :P&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No. Simple. I've said this before and say it again. Diamond moderators are exception handlers, not worker bees. We have other things to do, and we volunteer to become moderators because it should not take hours out of our day. Reading &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/&quot;&gt;A Theory on Moderation&lt;/a&gt; should make that a bit clearer. We are not employed by SE nor do we get paid for our time. We do it because we want to, within reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If these closed votes aren't handle, the community has the power to highlight these to other high reputation users, who are actively willing to do it. The tools are available and can be used by these users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The site is run with community moderators, and the community has the power to close these questions, without moderators getting involved. If we had to retroactively clean up the site ourselves, we would be busy for days, and honestly, some moderators might have the time, but not all of them do. These questions are closed when they appear on the front page, or are brought up on meta, and that makes it simpler and easier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, if you spend a lot of time on SuperUser, and are above a 1000 reputation points, you should by know be fully aware of the FAQ, as well as the Meta site, and searching for the information is fairly easily available. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;On a personal note. I have a reputation for closing questions on sight, because of me having been forced to in the past due to circumstances. One of the reason a spend as little time as possible moderating is to teach myself to let the community handle the bulk, and only deal with the flags that are raised&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;For example, are all of these off-topic now?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Out of the 3, 2 are valid, and I am not sure why they have the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/software-rec&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;software-rec&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;software-rec&lt;/a&gt;. They are asking to solve a particular problem, and the questions can stand on their own without the tag. As for the last one, to me that's a off topic shopping recommendation, since it is not trying to solve a problem the user has, however it can be rephrased to rectify that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3981" LastActivityDate="2011-09-29T07:04:55.787" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It covers the same topics as the older one.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It gets a few answers, which are now state-of-the-art, gets discussion, comments, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Somebody looks for a duplicate and finds our previous question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Close votes trickle in, sometimes very fast, sometimes not.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The new question is closed eventually.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I won't give any specific example here, because if you've used the site, you'll know that this is more or less the same for &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; duplicate closed. Some are worse, some are better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What the problem with this is …&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;In the following &amp;quot;duplicate&amp;quot; is referring to the question linked to as the &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;exact duplicate&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The duplicate might be absolutely outdated.&lt;/strong&gt; This means that either technology has changed, software is no longer updated, new features have been added, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can't really fix a duplicate.&lt;/strong&gt; If the above is true, it is very hard to &amp;quot;fix&amp;quot; such a state. As the duplicate is linked to quite often, it will probably have accumulated a large number of votes and views. At the same time, its answers might not reflect the current state of the art anymore (for reasons given above).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In order to fix something like this, you'd have to go through the whole question/answer pair and see if you can salvage it. Even worse, you might even want to close the duplicate as &amp;quot;not constructive&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;off topic&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;too localized&amp;quot;, if it happens to fall under any of these categories. You would then end up in a state where the &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; question is locked (in some sense), and the old one too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can't really add new information.&lt;/strong&gt; Well, you certainly can. But if you post a great answer to a question that's a year old – or if you've finally found the solution to a big problem –, you'll start off with a score of 0, among many other low-quality answers like &amp;quot;I kinda had the same problem, and fixed it by …&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;This is a great solution: &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;insert link here&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How are you ever going to make it to the top again? You won't have the ability to gather all these votes that would allow you to outscore the other answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By closing the new question, you stop the process of getting new information&lt;/strong&gt;. After a question's been closed as a duplicate, you eliminate the possibility for users to add new information to an old problem. This is not to say that they couldn't just post at the duplicate, but for the reasons in my previous points, this is not always useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, from my experience, I haven't really often seen users posting their answers at the duplicate, even when they are able to see the &amp;quot;possible duplicate of … &amp;quot; link.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Should we do anything?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Duplication is not necessarily a bad thing.

In this case, it's OK to leave both. Perhaps put a note on each one to the effect of &quot;see this related question&quot;, but they can coexist. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, you might want to have a question about backing up Windows 7 and a question about backing up Windows XP. You &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; say that they're duplicates, but technology changed a lot between XP and 7. Even though the XP one is outdated by now, there are still a lot of XP users out there, so you &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt; want to close it - it might still be useful for someone.

There are many&#xA;  questions which are limited in time or which are limited in geography,&#xA;  which, nevertheless, must not be closed as &quot;too localized.&quot; For&#xA;  example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A question about handling special characters which only appear in&#xA;  Turkish. Even though, yes, Turkey &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a place, and only reflects a&#xA;  small portion of the developers in the world, the question is still&#xA;  extremely useful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A question about &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/266629/best-software-companies-in-montreal&quot;&gt;software companies in&#xA;  Montreal&lt;/a&gt;.&#xA;  Believe me, there are way more programmers in Montreal than there are&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/ocaml&quot;&gt;OCaml&lt;/a&gt; programmers,&#xA;  and I've never seen anyone suggest that an OCaml question should be&#xA;  closed.

For&#xA;  example, a developer discussing a bug that only occurs in a certain&#xA;  version of the .NET framework. Sure, that version is going to be&#xA;  replaced with another version, which might fix the bug, but we're&#xA;  still going to answer it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I am increasingly seeing trigger-happy people who misunderstand the&#xA;  purpose of this close reason... yesterday someone on Meta.SO voted to&#xA;  close a question about Stack Overflow Dev Days 2011 on the grounds&#xA;  that it was &quot;too localized.&quot; COME ON!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMO, Diago's reasoning about service providers in the question you linked is wrong.  The UK is not so tiny that a question about it is Too Localized.

Should I obscure all links?  Should editors be obscuring my links?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is my first meta question here; the FAQs is well done, and everything has surely been asked before by now.

I would usually provide only a raw link unless that link was too long. When obscuring or shortening links I do everything I can to describe what I had obscured, so the user would not have any surprises.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Editors&quot; are obscuring my links - against my policy of obscuring links - but it is working out very well and makes the whole thing look better too.  However it is against my nature to do this.  Since the editor is known/shown, can I absolve myself for using this practice, and continue to enjoy the great job of editing that has been done thus far?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jump links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I usually avoid even using TinyUrl which was (and maybe still is) a &quot;safe&quot; way of linking. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is also the issue of bad jump links - a site goes out of business, and instead of the original location, following the link jumps you to scum.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not my problem&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyone on the web today should be looking where they are going, and I assume every browser that exists can show where you're going when hovering over a link. There is no excuse for a user wildly clicking on links without knowing.  However in reality I have done it, and I am sure others have too. If we also include non-super users, then the link is slightly obscured.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The web is &quot;just another dead link&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Dead links, dead sites, old data, and bought out by scum.  It is not rare to have a legitimate good quality site go bad: one day you're downloading legitimate programs from them, and a year later they have inserted adware in them, or some other undesirable traits. Links do not last for a long time generally, and what might be secure one day is no longer secure on the next.  The web is full of dead links; how does having the full link visible without hover assist users?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Side notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I usually have very heavy filtering and blocking in my browser, so like other users here, I can walk on the web without getting stuck in it.

Could you paste the relevant quote here?&#xA;Tom Wijsman &quot;paging files have multiprogramming benefits&quot;, &quot;Eliminating paging files puts greater eviction pressure on read-only code and data&quot;, &quot;Eliminating paging files causes mostly-idle processes to deny resources to active processes.&quot;, &quot;Paging files are used to avoid some of the problems with memory overcommitment.&quot;; as said, there is no relevant quote, it's most of the page.&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: Well, the problems I have with those quotes are as follows, respectively: quote #1 doesn't say anything; #2 doesn't say *why* this should be true in the case of ample free memory (it's an assertion with no reason), #3 just doesn't make sense (what resources? *what exactly* is being denied, and *why*?), #4 is vague and uses weasel words (what are &quot;some of the problems&quot;?). Really, I didn't find anything concrete in any part of the page -- it looks effectively like a page of hard-to-believe &quot;facts&quot; with no explanations whatsoever, though maybe I missed something?&#xA;Tom Wijsman #1 says exactly what it [says](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Multiprogramming), simultaneous page file and memory usage. #2 Ample free memory is irrelevant, trimming is done on a regular basis. #3 In the context of memory, that would be memory resources. Memory that is unnecessary clogs the Page Table, resulting in a system slowdown. It's denied from faster look-up of the memory, as well as larger resident sets. #4 is in the case of overcommitment, please note that in my first comment I gave a simple example of this that can apply even though you have 4 GB free.&#xA;Tom Wijsman Please note that the author has worked with drivers and has been a MVP. More details on the internal working, which are a necessity to have understood, can be found in the Windows Internals books as well as various online articles. Mark Russsinovich [has done some that push the limits of memory-related stuff](https://blogs.technet.com/themes/blogs/generic/postlist.aspx?WeblogApp=markrussinovich&amp;amp;GroupKeys=). Also, there is a [mass upvoted answer on ServerFault explaining the effect on memory allocations](http://serverfault.com/questions/23621).&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: Thanks for the reply, it has interesting info. Replies: #1 still doesn't say much (why is that a benefit, when memory is free?). #2: I don't understand why it should get trimmed, but let's say for the sake of argument that it does. How is paging in a paging file different from paging in the original file?  #3: I never thought of this, but now that you mention it: why would &quot;clogging the page table&quot; cause a system slowdown? If the TLB is fully associative, and if some pages are never used, how could they &quot;clog&quot; the TLB? #4 I'm not sure I still understand what it's referring to.&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: BTW, I haven't looked at the ServerFault page yet, I'll look at it as soon as I get the chance. It seems interesting!&#xA;Tom Wijsman #1 Memory is not a free operation and a look-up as well as allocation still consumes time, especially when this involves page table look-ups (this has nothing to do with the page file, not to be confused). You need an understanding of how memory and page table look-ups work to get this. #2 Because if you never trim the resident set then the only thing it does is grow in size. Note that only unmodified code can be paged to the original file, while anything else can only be paged to the page file. #3 Because allocations take longer, see last link I shared. #4 Very first link I shared.&#xA;Tom Wijsman I don't know your knowledge on the internals of Memory or Windows, but it would be much nicer if I could explain this by writing out a blog post. Unfortunately I don't have the time for it now due to school tasks and projects, but might consider into writing one in the future. I've learned it the hard way by discovering that my paged driver pool memory got full, and I don't mind having some GB on my disk for the page file given the low cost these days. In terms of space it makes sense not to have a page file, but in terms of performance and stability I'd rather have one these days...&#xA;Tom Wijsman Also, please note: While the TLB is fully associative, it is only a cache of recently used mappings from the operating system's page table. (Source: [Wikipedia - Page Table - The translation Process](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Page_table#The_translation_process))&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: #1: I *am* aware of how the page tables, TLBs, etc. work, but I *still* don't understand how the page file affects anything here. Oh well. :(  #2: Yes, but why trim it if it's never going to go beyond 20% of your memory anyway? Shouldn't you trim only when necessary? #3: **Two** issues with this: (a) Couldn't they duplicate data in RAM instead?, and (b) The post's argument seems to rely on *&quot;Imagine a simple scenario where some app ... demands 80% of existing RAM.&quot;* which, on my system, quite literally doesn't even get *close* to happening any more than once every few months.&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: Yeah, I'm busy in school too, no worries. :) And yes, that's my entire point: since the TLB is a ***cache*** of the ***recently*** used mappings, then how does an &quot;idling&quot; (i.e. non-executing) process &quot;clog&quot; it? By definition, it hasn't run recently, right? (As for #4: I'll take a bit more look at it, but the question that pops up in my mind is, why the OS can't use the RAM for more paged pool? Is it more difficult than using the page file or something?)&#xA;Tom Wijsman #1 The system can perform a read/write from/to the page file while it does other memory operations. #2 Because that's how it works. It's better to trim preventive and have no delay than suddenly doing big trims that introduce a delay, which would interrupt a possible time-critical task/process. #3 (a) This would have impact on the TLB, you don't want it to cache PTEs for duplicate data. (b) Read the paragraphs about memory allocations before that, that paragraph your refer to is about disk trashing which has nothing to do with the paragraphs before that.&#xA;Tom Wijsman It's when you switch between stuff that you also want things to go quick, try switching between some programs, visiting the start menu, going through Windows Explorer, checking your notification area and those kinds of things. Note that there's also a bunch of services running that do nothing at all in the background, and who knows what else. Surely your TLB cache won't suffice, so look-ups to your memory are made (and things like [de]allocations). This switching (and replacing parts of your TLB cache) goes faster when the services that do nothing at all are paged away to the page file...&#xA;Tom Wijsman Please note that I said clogging the page table, not clogging the TLB cache. As for #4: As far as I understood it both the non-paged and paged pools are given a static size on boot that suffices most use cases, as a gamer the paged pool can easily fill and if there is no page file it will get full otherwise it just pages data out of it. Not really relevant to this discussion is that the non-paged pool can't be paged away at all (as it's necessary for the kernel), but in normal occasions it should never hit it's limit.&#xA;Mehrdad @TomWijsman: #1: Can't it perform do the same thing with RAM? #2: I *guess* that makes sense? But I feel like it could be optimized to a hard-coded value, say 50%, before which it wouldn't trim anything at all. Oh well. #3: (a) Hmmm... I would need to convince myself that the impact on the TLB would actually be significant, but that seems quite reasonable of a possibility, thanks. :)&#xA;Mehrdad (b) Ah, okay. But I don't quite understand what you mean: `This switching goes faster when the [idle] services are paged away to the page file`: why are you assuming that the service *must* be accessed if it's tucked away in memory somewhere? Can't it be ignored just the same as if it were on disk? (Also, I don't understand how &quot;the page table&quot; can be &quot;clogged&quot;. Isn't it process-specific? And isn't it a random-access table in a 2- or 3-level hierarchy? What gets &quot;clogged&quot;?) #4: Well, if the paged pool can get extended into a page file, it should be able to be extended into RAM too, right?&#xA;Tom Wijsman #1 Would require a change in the way the TLB functions, it has to know which is duplicate and which is not. #2 Depends on the use case, but it's been optimized to fit the most use cases. Perhaps it can be changed but I wouldn't know how. #3 (b) I'm not assuming that it needs to be accessed, but the PTEs of the service just take up space in the Page Table which causes longer look-ups. In a random-access hash table, an individual deepest level index points to a linked list. This usually contains one PTE but when it gets clogged linked lists will contain multiple PTEs...&#xA;Tom Wijsman Apparently it's intended to be of a static size, I'm not entirely sure why but I guess it would make things more simple in the kernel. Perhaps Windows Internals or Mark's article I linked goes into detail on it, but it can get depleted when not using a page file.&#xA;Tom Wijsman **Attention:** There is only a limited amount of memory given to drivers, called the [`non-paged` and `paged` pool](http://bit.ly/rttIee) memory sections.

It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, people click &lt;code&gt;not an answer&lt;/code&gt; in the case that they want it to be a comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The problem is we convert it to a comment and someone tells them to make it the answer so they can accept it, and the circle just starts again. Why can't we just not have high quality posts from the beginning?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Agreed. I think the answer should instead be flagged with &lt;code&gt;low quality&lt;/code&gt;  by our users rather than with &lt;code&gt;not an answer&lt;/code&gt; in those cases, which means that you can safely say the flag is invalid. Just leave a comment asking to include a summary on such low quality posts, it doesn't make sense to turn it into a comment or to even delete it. An answer is an answer, even when the only effort that has been done was on Google. This is where a &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple/&quot;&gt;General Reference&lt;/a&gt; close reason would work well, but it does not exist yet...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Also keep in mind, when the answer is too short, the system displays a message telling the poster that his answer might not be accepted because it doesn't meet the minimum criteria. If they read it and skip it outright, and it gets flagged, is it really our job to make it a comment?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Agreed, although the job becomes simple with &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackapps.com/questions/2116/pro-forma-comments&quot;&gt;Pro Forma Comments&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I will admit there are exceptions to this, but 95% of the time it turns out to be spam or drive by posters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No comment as I'm not in statistics. I think this depends on what type of posts you are looking at, I have a feeling that the 5% is higher as there are probably some low reputation regulars that might also make posts similar to the one @slhck quoted, perhaps of a bit better quality but still a bad quality overall.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The community can handle these with there editing abilities before it even comes to the moderator's attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Agreed, if what I said about flagging with &lt;code&gt;low quality&lt;/code&gt; is done (or a comment is left), users that use the &lt;code&gt;/review&lt;/code&gt; section could help by including the summary of the link into the post. It's usually just a copy / paste where the only thing left to do is a bit of formatting, which is very similar to usual edits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We are sometimes extremely hard on moderating the site, due to past issues which we do not want to rehash.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Agreed, don't feed the helper vampires; although you can't expect new users to know most things...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, it takes a lot of time, so perhaps we might look into a solution where moderators have delete reasons which automatically leaves a comment to the user.

If it answers the question, it should be an &lt;em&gt;answer&lt;/em&gt;. It might be a crappy answer, in which case it should be edited, but if it provides useful information, perhaps it shouldn't be deleted in the first place. One of Jeff's mantras is &quot;answers first&quot;. Sometimes that's taken to extremes (I personally think it should be easier for new users to comment, but that's a different issue), but in this case, &lt;em&gt;an answer with useful info is still an answer&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It gets more complicated than that with moderation though. We get a lot of flags. We also get a lot of answers which aren't particularly good and which we might not personally have the time to improve and bring glory to these posts. Sometimes, we have to delete content even if it might be helpful, because it's cluttering things up, is too low-quality to be salvageable, etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a user (and a flagger), &lt;strong&gt;you can help&lt;/strong&gt;: if the answer is &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; but has &lt;em&gt;useful information&lt;/em&gt;, don't flag it! Anybody can edit or suggest an edit on an answer. Fluff it up a bit - include some more details from the link, try to find a screenshot to add, etc. If it's useful enough that you don't think it should be deleted entirely, then it's probably useful enough to keep as an answer, it might just need some help. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, there's no point in wasting moderators' time with a flag when the community can handle improving the question. If you really think it ought to be a comment, say so. All of us mods delete things sometimes which people might find handy, but we also delete a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; of stuff which is just bad.

I only owned one ATI, a mobility one, in my laptop. It's just a HD3650 which slows down from heat, and not powerful compared to a normal deskop GPU.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I like to try ATI, but never got the money for a modern one. By modern I mean, one that you can use to try it's performance, the rendering, ease-of-use, etc.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Back then, I played a lot with Linux. One thing I learnt, is that ATI/AMD got a catastrophic support there. Things are changing (radeon/radeonHD). I'd like to try out these 'methods', help with the Ubuntu PPAs or just gain knowledge. If there is a question about nVidia, I know the answer, since I used it for a while. Things are not changing that fast, the installer is the same, you can pass the same arguments, use dkms, etc.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So mainly, I'd like to request a card (ATI 5870 if possible), mainly to experiment, learn.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Why the 5870?

I'm passionate about Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender issues (I'm hoping to start a &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.pflag.org/Page.aspx?pid=194&amp;amp;srcid=-2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;PFLAG&lt;/a&gt; chapter at my university). I have nerdy hobbies, like photography and amateur radio (KE7FVF).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I like to play video games, especially Minecraft. Right now there's a lot of Skyrim, though. Also, Team Fortress 2. And Counterstrike:Source. I'm going to buy Battlefield 3 one of these days, and then I'll have to play that too. And a new Humble Indie Bundle just came out, so oh my god so many video games.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Why I want the card&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I play a lot of video games... on my laptop. I only own one non-laptop, and it's the video game server, hosting Minecraft, TF2, and CS:S on-campus. It actually doesn't have a video output at all - I recently upgraded to a secondhand motherboard without integrated video, and I can't find a secondhand graphics card for it. Did I mention secondhand? I built that computer entirely off of parts bought from friends or bought from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freegeek.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Free Geek&lt;/a&gt;, and although it's a great game server it's not really usable for playing those games. That and every single USB controller is smoked, that's why I got the new motherboard for free :).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I intend to build myself a desktop. My boyfriend built himself a nice one for a price I can afford, so I think I'll base it on his. I'm thinking about a Phenom X6, although I'm not sure I want to spend that much money. RAM is cheap these days, I can get like 8GB. Mostly, I want storage. Lots and lots of storage. I'm accumulating too many things, and although 1tb hard drives are available in 2.5&quot; by 9mm now, keeping it all on laptops is becoming impractical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll use it for all kinds of things, like putting my radio recording system on a more reliable computer, and testing long-running CS homework on a more powerful processor (I can experiment even more with multithreading!). But mostly I'll play video games on it, and the rest of the time I'll have it BOINC something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="42428" LastEditorUserId="42428" LastEditDate="2011-11-24T22:38:27.957" LastActivityDate="2011-11-24T22:38:27.957" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Questions should only be broadened in scope if the answers that are given, or can be given, are equally applicable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This requires that the user &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; gets the same, good answers he'd have gotten if the question were unchanged. That's why users add their particular situation (e.g. OS used, or specific requirements) after all: to get answers tailored for their needs instead of generally good but not applicable answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, parts of these stated &lt;strong&gt;requirements are irrelevant to the question&lt;/strong&gt;, and the user is unaware of that fact. It probably doesn't matter what OS you use when discussing the general advantages of SSDs. If you're knowledgable about that topic (and whether OS makes any difference), and you agree, just remove OS references, as they don't matter. Users looking for cross-platform tools also make this mistake: Tools are very often available for Windows, Linux &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; Mac OS X, so questions looking for a tool that works on two of these OSes are often just as applicable on other, similar systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also a good idea sometimes to broaden the scope to &lt;strong&gt;prevent questions from being off topic or too localized&lt;/strong&gt; (the former being easier to determine, and fix, than the latter). If someone asks about &lt;em&gt;web-based Markdown editors&lt;/em&gt;, you can either make it &lt;em&gt;desktop Markdown editors&lt;/em&gt; or wait for it to be closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other times, specific information in a question is &lt;em&gt;essential&lt;/em&gt; to get good answers. &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/281374/22317&quot;&gt;An obviously completely non-applicable answer&lt;/a&gt; got eight up votes (now at +8/-3) before an answer that actually addressed the user's situation was posted. Now, imagine this question wouldn't have been tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt;, but e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/unix&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;unix&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;unix&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Broadening the scope is only useful if the user's problem is still being addressed&lt;/strong&gt;. In this particular case, it's doubtful, due to the relative popularity of Linux and OS X on this site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Going back to the SSD example, Apple still hasn't managed to support TRIM on third party SSD drives. Any question about SSD maintenance and correct use, cleanup, etc. must therefore retain the OS tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are is the issue of users &lt;strong&gt;using tags to navigate this site&lt;/strong&gt;. If you're looking for questions or answers relating to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/ubuntu&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;ubuntu&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, and the question isn't tagged, you won't see it. The missing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; would certainly have prevented me from answering the question linked above. Why research an answer if the user is on a different system anyway?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This leads to another problem created by broadening the scope: If you spend quite a bit of time to research and write a good answer you have a certain &lt;strong&gt;expectation of being rewarded&lt;/strong&gt; for it. This is only possible if you're actually addressing the user's question.&#xA;But the user will probably accept the &lt;em&gt;It's not possible on Windows&lt;/em&gt; answer, completely ignoring your three page (Linux) C source code that compiles into a utility doing what the user requires*. And you posted just because someone &lt;em&gt;broadened the scope&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another issue is that, if the only possible answer is &lt;strong&gt;negative&lt;/strong&gt;, e.g. &lt;em&gt;It's not possible&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;This doesn't exist (yet)&lt;/em&gt;, it just won't be posted. Users will post answers that don't interest the OP, and he'll never get the information that it's not possible in his particular situation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's not a good idea to edit a question, &lt;strong&gt;broadening the scope, only to have it be closed as exact duplicate or NARQ&lt;/strong&gt;. Many questions relating e.g. to backups could fall into this trap, with only specific requirements differentiating these questions from their more widely applicable cousins.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moderators have the amazing superpower to &lt;strong&gt;merge questions&lt;/strong&gt;. If there is a situation with multiple (useful) questions, that aren't duplicates but can be merged and still retain their usefulness, ask about it here on Meta, flag the question, or ask a diamond moderator in chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the topic is important enough, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1856/help-create-and-maintain-community-faqs&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;create a community wiki FAQ question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; like @slhck did with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/284342/what-are-path-and-other-environment-variables-and-how-can-i-set-or-use-them&quot;&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt; and close everything else as duplicates, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3694/what-should-we-do-with-those-ever-recurring-image-entire-hard-drive-questions&quot;&gt;although we're still debating how to handle some of these topics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your specific example suffers from being a software recommendation question &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3587/update-the-faq-to-disallow-any-product-recommendation-questions&quot;&gt;which is generally considered off topic on this site, although the FAQ doesn't state it &lt;em&gt;at all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Besides that I hove lost the tendency to compose bi-weekly posts because of this pressure, but would love to write something just to help out and don't fall to a complete stop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A problem I have with writing blog posts is that I feel the need to do a lot of research / work in order to get a post of sufficient length that is actually useful to the hundreds to thousands of readers that will pass by it. This is very costly in time to get out all the great content, and I believe other writers have a  very similar experience like me. They are basically not writing posts anymore because they can't find the time and/or interest to do so; &lt;strong&gt;the content most of us tend to write weights heavy on our shoulders&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What about the folks out there?

Let's say that if you take the double of that (1000 characters) you have a very small blog posts; so, if you calculate the total amount of posts and divide the 0 - 1000 post counts by it you see that 87% of our answers don't suffice for our blog. But what about the valuable 13% out there, there are still 26k answers there that suffice for the length of a blog post so there still exists people out there that do have the time to write longer stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What we see here is that &lt;strong&gt;most people don't write long stuff on SU, but only occasionally&lt;/strong&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Could a &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/110998/using-the-stack-engine-for-the-blog-a-long-term-idea-for-maintaining-a-healthy&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange system&lt;/a&gt; aid in getting the blog back in business?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I hope to see a change in the way the blog is structured, as outlined here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/110998/using-the-stack-engine-for-the-blog-a-long-term-idea-for-maintaining-a-healthy&quot;&gt;Using the Stack engine for the blog – a long-term idea for maintaining a healthy blogging culture&lt;/a&gt; — if you have any ideas, comments, suggestions, critique, please post them there!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Definetly, integration makes it much easier for people to access the blog, actually &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; people.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I only see one cavaet: &lt;strong&gt;This however doesn't change the time spent in writing a good blog post.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What can we do to get the blog running again?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I asked @nhinkle whether it would be a good idea to put up a status message (like the one used for elections or outages), promoting the blog, so we could recruit new writers.

But, this isn't one of the first attempts where we tried to leech users towards the blog. Remember that we have had several community ads, a contest where people had to write blog posts, several comments on the site and probably some similar activities; none of which actually targets &lt;em&gt;everyone&lt;/em&gt; but a large share of users...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The bottom line through thinking about this and through this post is what you note yourself: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;... it doesn't even have to be long :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem with that is that if I apply that to &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/10/maximizing-the-lifetime-of-your-ssd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;a random crazy idea&lt;/a&gt; that the post isn't really useful in 500 or 1000 characters, it probably can be written in something around 1500 or 2000 characters though. But, if I aim for any of these amount of characters; writing less doesn't take away the research time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The actual writing takes the least time in writing a post. Length doesn't necessarily matter...&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we want more posts that cost less time we need to step away from writing posts which we need to get research; but only occasionally do them when we know about the subject and it is interesting to share.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Let's &lt;em&gt;shift our mindset&lt;/em&gt; about the SU blog to something &lt;em&gt;way different&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I think we should be after with the blog is something that our users want to participate in; something which they would love to read about and something they would love to write about. We can use the blog as a way to do &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_building&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Community Building&lt;/a&gt;, like there is &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_building&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Team Building&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the way that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/tagged/question-of-the-week&quot;&gt;QotW series&lt;/a&gt; have had a lot of success by putting user content out there for the mass to read, I think we should &lt;strong&gt;focus the Super User Blog around the Super User&lt;/strong&gt;. There are many ways to put our users in front:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outline questions and answers of high quality, like the Question of the Week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Interview interesting users, making one at a time feel part of the community. &lt;sub&gt;Why did we stop doing this?&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get people to write about their stories.&lt;/strong&gt; Take &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2467165#2467165&quot;&gt;Ivo's hard drive crash&lt;/a&gt;, that's actually news...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Such blog posts are easy to write and require answering a few questions and reforming it into a few paragraphs. Ivo probably wrote more text to us about his problem than a blog post would take...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What has happened?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What was the cause?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How has it been resolved?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a monthly basis, award new low reputation users that really spent the time on an answer with a bounty and blog about it. Moderators have reputation enough for this, probably some high reputation users want to jump in with this idea too.

If one question is linked to from another's thread, even if just in a comment, it will show up on both question pages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you feel strongly about almost duplicate topics in general, you can do as &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/73637/gareth&quot;&gt;Gareth&lt;/a&gt; did and get the community to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3505/three-batches-of-questions-to-close-or-delete&quot;&gt;participate&lt;/a&gt; in reviewing questions and acting on them (closing, in this case). Of course, merging questions in any sort of useful manner is a lot more work!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, you can bring a perceived problem to attention on Meta (I guess you know that by now). For issues such as this one, you could do the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Make absolutely sure you understand &lt;strong&gt;both&lt;/strong&gt; questions and understand their answers — not just the ones already posted, but also the ones likely to be posted!&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wait a while (2+ days, as we're not in a hurry). People can surprise you with their answers, or their willingness to close.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Think about that a useful merger would look like. &lt;em&gt;The exact wording&lt;/em&gt;, if at all possible. What should the question be stating? Would both questions be treated fairly? Would answers to both questions still apply?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ask for opinion. While not nearly as frequented as the parent site, we have a few users participating on Meta, enough for you to see what others think of your suggestion.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Act as would make sense based on the feedback you get on Meta.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, this is the general case. Back to the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The major issue here is that &lt;em&gt;perfectly acceptable answers to one question don't work for the other&lt;/em&gt;. Only rather configurable (read: download and run a program) approaches will be good answers. But users might prefer the shell one-liner (or Excel solution, or VBS script, or obscure virtual file system entries, or whatever else is simple and already on their system) to the all powerful 50$ shareware, or even to the just as capable freeware, and for good reason (IT department policies come to mind).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, I don't think it's duplicate enough to warrant a simple close. You might be able to create a merged topics, but it will quite a bit of work, as outlined above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22317" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:44.773" LastActivityDate="2011-12-02T19:37:49.983" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This has included questions limited to consoles, even though &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/134/59659&quot;&gt;they are technically &amp;quot;computers&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;strong&gt;I generally agree with this limitation of the scope.&lt;/strong&gt;  There's a corner-case that should be allowed in my opinion, however: Using the console as a PC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently, Gaming is struggling with &lt;a href=&quot;https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3366/6066&quot;&gt;whether to allow console-as-PC questions&lt;/a&gt;.  In that discussion Mark Trapp brings up a valid point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question isn't about the PS3, it's about installing Firefox (not a game, not a game-specific utility) on the PS3. The PS3 is the setting, the problem is installing Firefox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In contrast, Linux is a PC OS and Firefox for Linux is PC software.  The setting is the PS3, a console, but it's the PS3 &lt;strong&gt;as a PC&lt;/strong&gt;.  It's just another box with a logo stamped on it.  Is installing and using Linux on a PS3 different from installing and using it on a Mac in any meaningful way?  The details differ, but only superficially; it's the same task for the same purpose with the same end result: Linux running on a personal computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ivo Flipse says:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just because there's no alternative place to ask a question on Stack Exchange doesn't mean we should start allowing them. We can't be everything to everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think this is a silly argument.  Super User already has the relevant expertise (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=linux+install+problem&quot;&gt;installing a PC OS on varied hardware&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/firefox+linux&quot;&gt;getting Firefox to work in such environments&lt;/a&gt;).  We'd keep being the same thing, to slightly more people ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems that &lt;a href=&quot;https://askubuntu.com/search?q=ps3&quot;&gt;AskUbuntu takes these questions&lt;/a&gt; while it hasn't really come up on Unix &amp;amp; Linux.  While you could argue that the particular question I'm using as an example should then just be pushed to AskUbuntu, I don't think that's good reasoning.  Linux questions are still on-topic here despite those sites and a little overlap is fine; if we reject this question, it should be for another reason.  And of course, you can install Windows on your PS3 as well; this is the site for Windows questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/3311/59659&quot;&gt;Kronos gave a great answer&lt;/a&gt; to &amp;quot;How is the term “Computer” defined on Super User?&amp;quot;, in part:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[T]here are many definitions/opinions to be found on the net, but what really matters in this situation is how the Super User community defines computers. To be honest I think that most of us can figure this out by ourselves without having to pin it down to specific details[....]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, [gaming consoles] are not allowed on Super User for either the reason that they belong on a better suited site elsewhere in Stack Exchange, or just simply don't belong due to lack of 'conformity' with other content allowed[.]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I totally agree with this, but rather than banning consoles completely I see a different solution: &lt;strong&gt;Only ban what doesn't &amp;quot;conform&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;.  Ban gaming, the PS3's native OS, the PlayStation store, whatever else.  But allow the questions that are limited to PS3-as-PC; for example, installing Linux or Windows on a PS3.  Banning otherwise valid questions purely because of Sony's intent for the platform doesn't make sense to me.  Super Users regularly get creative with their use of PC hardware and software, and the manufacturer's intent is irrelevant.  There's no reason to treat these questions as somehow &amp;quot;tainted&amp;quot; and unworthy based on the name on the plastic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In summary:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;PC OSes are on-topic&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;PC software is on-topic&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;General-purpose computing hardware used for running a PC OS and PC software is a PC&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given the above, should we really discriminate against the PS3 &lt;em&gt;in this PC context&lt;/em&gt; just because it's also recognizable as a gaming console?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I say no.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user59659" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-02-01T06:18:14.513" Title="Should questions about using a gaming console as a PC be allowed?"

Let's face it: Not every participant on this site cares that much about community consensus and Meta discussions of what is and isn't appropriate, so a gentle reminder at the time of action might be a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It will most likely not harm genuinely useful edits, and I expect that, overall, approval, being a &lt;em&gt;positive&lt;/em&gt; action, will still be ahead anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While we'd need to discuss what default categories for explaining an edit we should offer, &lt;strong&gt;as an initial &lt;em&gt;example&lt;/em&gt; only&lt;/strong&gt;, I could imagine the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Significant improvements to formatting and highlighting&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;significant&lt;/em&gt; is, of course, important here.

But consider this question about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/176317/unable-to-find-windows-7-32-bit-drivers-for-dell-inspiron-n5010&quot;&gt;finding Windows 7 drivers for a particular Dell laptop&lt;/a&gt;.

Of those, about 120 have accepted answers, which is almost 70% success rate with driver questions. This tells me that these questions &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; useful to &lt;em&gt;somebody&lt;/em&gt;, but a lot of them are indeed one-off sorts of things - only about half of those with accepted answers (40% of the total) have more than 200 views, and a mere 15% have over 1000 views. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So there's some data to consider. What should we do about it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing to do would be the &quot;google test&quot;. If you can find the drivers in 5 minutes by checking on google or the OEM's website, then the question should probably be closed as &quot;too localized&quot;, kindly give the user links, and remind them that they can find things themselves as easily as we can. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the google test returns a lot of similar &quot;I can't find drivers for &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt;, help&quot; sorts of pages - especially if said pages are on forums - then I think we should keep the question. Even better if we can solve the problem! This is a case where we can actually be a useful resource, rather than being redundant. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another thing to point users to is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/230150/20088&quot;&gt;Community FAQ on &quot;how to find drivers&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. The method I describe in that post of looking up the vendor and hardware IDs works very well for almost all computers I've ever had to find drivers for (which is a lot of them). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically, &quot;Help me find drivers&quot; shouldn't be specifically off-topic. It's a valid computer question. But we also aren't &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcidatabase.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;a driver database&lt;/a&gt;. For specific &quot;help me find driver&quot; types of questions, it has to be a judgement call on whether the question should be kept around, or is too localized to be useful. If you aren't sure, then feel free to discuss with other people in our &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/118/root-access&quot;&gt;general chat room&lt;/a&gt; or the &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/114/ask-a-super-user-moderator&quot;&gt;ask a moderator&lt;/a&gt; chat room. Try the google test.

Feels a bit product recommendation-ish and subjective though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I don't mind a clicky noise (I would actually prefer a bit of noise), I just don't want anything overpowering.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Very subjective, as it depends on your hearing perception and the environment you work in. Music in the background is probably sufficient to change the threshold. Just let others give you an overview and decide for yourself. &quot;A clicks more loudly than B&quot; will be perfectly fine and give you something to base your choice on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What are the different types of mechanical switches are out there (being sold in keyboards for a sane price), and what separates one from the other?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; really useful part of the question! And if this leads to just four products, since there's no real market for expensive keyboards, so be it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Also, where would I be able to test one out?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At a store. Shopping recommendation, sort of, and clearly too localized.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think we mind clicky keyboard questions in general. But this question specifically is rather poor. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It requires heavy editing&lt;/em&gt;. Since there's already this Meta topic, you should be able to get enough attention once you make the question more generally applicable. I'll vote once the question is fixed. With your knowledge about the topic, it shouldn't be too difficult to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it will produce only a few concrete suggestions, so be it -- in that case it's obscure hardware niche, the user didn't explicitly ask for it, and it has a certain timelessness.

Let's break this down to the simplest example. Consider you wrote this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A B&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and later edited it to be this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A B A C B&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(essentially, &quot;A&quot; is the word &quot;Finder&quot; and &quot;B&quot; is the word &quot;running&quot; in your case). Obviously, what we'd like to see the diff engine show is this, where the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;highlight&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; means &quot;this letter was added&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A B &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A C B&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But what the diff engine gives us is this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A B&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; A &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;C&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; B&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Both solutions are correct, and both solutions &amp;ndash; as far as the diff engine is concerned &amp;ndash; are equally good, since they both consist of &quot;adding three letters&quot; (in technical terms, they are both &lt;em&gt;shortest edit scripts&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The diff algorithm guarantees to find &lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; such shortest edit script, but it doesn't guarantee &lt;em&gt;which one&lt;/em&gt;. It's pretty much a question of chance&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fixing this would pretty much mean using a different algorithm, which also (in some way) considers subsequent additions to be better than separated additions. This would have some drawbacks, though:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's guaranteed to have other edge cases. There will always be examples where a human being actually looking at the text will find a better diff than an algorithm. So we may fix this very example, but may just as well break another one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will probably be slower. The diff algorithm we use has pretty good performance characteristics (if you're interested, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmailserver.org/diff2.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here's the description of the algorithm&lt;/a&gt;; we're using a slightly modified version of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/htmltextcompare.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this implementation&lt;/a&gt;), and we wouldn't like to give that up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even setting 1. and 2. aside, this would mean quite some effort for something that works well in the 99% case. We're quite happy with the diff engine's work, especially after our recent improvements, and even though there are edge cases like the one you found, the diff is &lt;em&gt;almost always good&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The diff in your example is not an uncomprehensible mess. Sure, it's not what you'd expect, but it's a result we can live with. Not to forget that despite looking &lt;em&gt;weird&lt;/em&gt;, it's actually &lt;em&gt;correct&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, and that you also have the choice of another diff view.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With those reasons in mind, I'll have to make this &lt;em&gt;wontfix&lt;/em&gt; &amp;ndash; it's just not worth it, sorry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; The algorithm is deterministic, so it's not truly random. But which of the solutions is found depends on many things, including what comes before and what comes after the content in question. If you actually run the diff engine over the ABACB example, for instance, it realy &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; find the &quot;better&quot; solution; if you run it over &quot;ABC -&gt; ABCBDC&quot;, it finds the &quot;worse&quot; solution.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; The additional space before the period (you mention this in a comment) is somewhat related to this; the diff engine is set to be a bit lenient about whitespace, since &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/111367/115866&quot;&gt;this in most cases makes the diff more readable.&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="561" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2011-12-12T14:05:23.997" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In addition, there is no real substitute to the service when intending to use the software: &lt;em&gt;There is no software without the service&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question is about the capabilities of a class of &lt;em&gt;software products&lt;/em&gt;. Due to the inherent tight coupling of the server side parts also accessible from a web site and the client that runs as a real, standalone software on a user's computer, &lt;em&gt;it doesn't make sense to separate them&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Only very few programs have this kind of coupling: Only online backup/syncing services and laptop anti-theft software come to mind. &lt;em&gt;Everything else&lt;/em&gt; consists of more loosely coupled parts, where the desktop clients are optional (e.g. Twitter clients, desktop blogging software, etc.) and could easily be replaced while keeping the &amp;quot;cloud&amp;quot; component.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since it is obvious that &lt;em&gt;some parts&lt;/em&gt; of the service – the client software – is on topic, &lt;strong&gt;we should keep all of it on-topic to reduce user confusion&lt;/strong&gt;: It's a combined product with a a desktop software component that is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;essential&lt;/em&gt;, i.e. the service wouldn't even hypothetically be possible without it&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;exclusive&lt;/em&gt;, i.e. there's no alternative service to use the client with, and the client has no unrelated functionality.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore these questions should be on topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By &lt;em&gt;all of it&lt;/em&gt; I mean &lt;em&gt;questions about the functionality of the software&lt;/em&gt;, something that'd be on topic if there was no &lt;em&gt;hosted server component&lt;/em&gt;, independent from whether they're implemented locally or on the server.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider the following questions (I'm using Dropbox as an example, as I'm somewhat familiar with it), which I consider to be &lt;em&gt;on topic&lt;/em&gt;, but which appear to be off topic if we accepted @slhck's suggestion:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I access files I synced to Dropbox from a different computer?&lt;/strong&gt; You go to the service's web site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does Dropbox store older versions, or do I lose them as soon as I save a newer file?&lt;/strong&gt; has nothing to do with the client.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can others access the files in my &lt;em&gt;Public&lt;/em&gt; folder?&lt;/strong&gt; This is implemented via the web site and completely unrelated to the client.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I send a link to a file in the &lt;em&gt;Public&lt;/em&gt; folder?&lt;/strong&gt; Until recently, the OS X client of Dropbox didn't have &lt;em&gt;Copy public link&lt;/em&gt;.

But really, anything goes!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, here's how we're thinking of doing this: high-rep users who want to help promote some of these questions can pledge a bounty from 100-500 rep. We'll make a list of all the users who want to sponsor a Community FAQ, how much rep they want to use, and how many questions they want to sponsor. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyone can propose a community FAQ question to be sponsored - either an existing question tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/community-faq-proposed&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;community-faq-proposed&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;community-faq-proposed&lt;/a&gt; that needs more help, or a question that hasn't been asked yet or isn't yet a CFAQ, but you think needs a canonical answer. Questions proposed for sponsoring will be listed in a meta post, and voted on. After a voting period, we'll match up questions with sponsors. If rep sponsors want to put a bounty on a specific one, we'll do that, but otherwise we'll match the highest-voted proposals to the highest-value rep donations. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, we'll have a super-answer week when all of the bounties run at once. During that week, we'll promote the event with a blog post and a site notice banner, encouraging all users to find one of the questions which they know something about, and try to write an amazing post about it. At the end of the week, the bounty holders will choose the best answer, and award the bounty.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Right now, if you're interested in participating, please &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGM3cGVzZU9ucWNDNmhfOFh2S2hldHc6MQ&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;fill out this Google Form&lt;/a&gt; to let us know how you're going to donate.

As well, we're also changing the cycle system - these will now run on a yearly basis, not by halves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What are Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;scripts packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

That would be too much clutter. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can't cover any possible case of confusion, and even the way Apple sells their products is ambiguous with regards to how they use the term &quot;Mac&quot;. Then there's Microsoft. They only sell &quot;Mac&quot; products like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/office-for-mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;office-for-mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;office-for-mac&lt;/a&gt; and not &quot;Office for OS X&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That being said, I don't think it's a huge problem to have &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; together. I believe that anybody who is interested in Apple questions on Super User will favorite both tags, since with Apple products that are on-topic here (i.e. Macs), using OS X is almost exclusively implied.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if you see a post where the usage is wrong, I think the best we can do is to remove the tag, replace it with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; if necessary, and leave a custom message. If (and only if) you do this, the user will be informed of the edit.

Because 90% of questions about Media players are about playing media, off of a medium, it would still apply :-) .  The net is a medium, and most people tagging it media, want to use the medium to transport media , it would still apply.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the terms seems ambiguously applied, it would be a fault of the English language, and how it has been bent to fit different ways.  To fix that would be to define the medium (singular), and the media (plural).  I really doubt that people picking tags are going to select medium, over media.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While I would agree that Storage-Medium , Media Files, Document Media , might separate the tags into less ambiguous terms, that isn't going to have anyone choosing them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Media is not the news and tv, news and tv use media , and is a medium , an in-betweener. In the same way Mediums are in-between the live and the  dead. tv/radio got termed &quot;The Media&quot; , which doesn't make them media when there is only one. Properly stated A Media is still a Medium, although they don't necessarily talk to the dead. :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Media is the publications, and communications, and informations, pictures , sounds ,  proper singular term is actually medium again.  The storage area , be that paper or plastic or dvd or hard drive is actually also a medium, unless there are 2, then it is media.  Original Latin meaning Middle. I would extrapolate to the term being the &quot;middle man&quot;, the medium by which things are transferred , making the WEB a medium, and the stuff going down it media.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For radio and tv, and web , media are the items that the information is stored on.  They purchased media for which to record.  so The Media buys media, now often using the medium of the web, which sends media to The Media, so they can make their choices.  Then this media is shipped via a medium, to The Media , who will use it to store media.  But they are buying media, because they are not buying a single medium. :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or as the dictionary says: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;the etymologically plural form media is often used as a singular to refer to a particular means of communication, as in This is the most exciting new media since television. This usage is widely regarded as incorrect; medium is preferred. A stronger case can be made in defense of the use of media as a collective term, as in The media has not shown much interest in covering the issue. As with the analogous words data and agenda, the originally plural form has begun to acquire a sense that departs from that of the singular: used as a collective term, media denotes an industry or community. Thus the example sentence given here would not be appropriately paraphrased as No medium has shown much interest in covering the issue, which suggests that the disinclination abides in the means of communication itself rather than in its practitioners. If media follows the pattern of data and agenda, this singular use may become entirely acceptable someday. But despite its utility, many people still regard it as a grammatical error.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My vote? change the world, re-write the English language, or leave it alone because it will be back.

Users ask practically everything (sometimes with a &lt;code&gt;&quot;I'm not sure it's on topic&quot;&lt;/code&gt; disclaimer, but still) and we then might need to close it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So there's not much reason to make it more obvious.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OTOH, there's a problem with these kinds of questions: &lt;em&gt;It's not easy getting them right&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;They must not be &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple/&quot;&gt;general reference&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;They shouldn't be answerable with a simple Google query (i.e. &lt;em&gt;no research&lt;/em&gt;). If they are, they might be on topic, but still a bad question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If books have been written about the question, they're not fit for our site, they're &lt;em&gt;overly broad&lt;/em&gt; and therefore &lt;em&gt;NARQ&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's difficult to get all of this right. Making it that much more obvious in the FAQ will just invite users (who skim the FAQ) to ask bad questions, or questions that don't fit our site's format.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given that these questions are indeed being asked, I don't see a reason to act.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22317" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:45.117" LastActivityDate="2012-01-15T11:26:59.020" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

When you flag to have something migrated, you're using the tools you're given the wrong way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whether a question is on topic on this site is completely independent of its quality. The question you linked to is, IMO, &lt;em&gt;not low quality&lt;/em&gt;. Low quality means:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This question has severe formatting or content problems. This question is unlikely to be salvageable through editing, and might need to be removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;None of this is the case. The question's formatting is very good, and its content is substantial and easy to understand. It's not on topic on this site, correct, but your flag was still wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most important thing to keep in mind is the following: &lt;strong&gt;You flag to help the moderators keep order on the site&lt;/strong&gt;. In the flag reason, you tell them why you flag a question. In many cases, I use the free-text input field to explain it in more detail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can imagine, the handful of moderators we have often need to deal with many flags. In &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3345/reason-for-flags-declined&quot;&gt;some extreme cases&lt;/a&gt;, they're simply overwhelmed. This is probably very rare, but still. The point of flagging is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to increase your flag weight, but to help moderators keep the site clean.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you've used the site for a while, and by participating and contributing have shown you know how the site &quot;works&quot;, you get additional privileges. The relevant privilege here is &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/close-questions&quot;&gt;vote to close&lt;/a&gt;. The site owners &lt;em&gt;trust you&lt;/em&gt; to know what is an appropriate topic on the site, and what isn't, and with a few other users, you can close topics &lt;em&gt;without moderator involvement&lt;/em&gt;. This helps keep their workload down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's why, starting with 3000, you don't &lt;em&gt;flag&lt;/em&gt; as e.g. off topic, but &lt;em&gt;vote to close&lt;/em&gt;. When you view the &lt;em&gt;flag&lt;/em&gt; dialog, you'll notice &lt;code&gt;&quot;This question does not belong here&quot;&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nt3XU.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is what you should have clicked all along, and it will open the &lt;em&gt;vote to close&lt;/em&gt; dialog instead:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/jRbAw.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, below 3000 reputation, it looks like the following (screenshot from a different Stack Exchange site where I have 300 or so reputation):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/MPTgt.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Under no circumstances do you need to flag as &quot;very low quality&quot;.

What do you see?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A popular, &quot;open-ended&quot; topic that managed to attract a lot of attention&lt;/strong&gt;. So much attention, in fact, that a single, one-line answer could give users &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/edit&quot;&gt;editing permissions&lt;/a&gt; on the site. A topic where &lt;strong&gt;users stopped answering the actual question&lt;/strong&gt;, but instead added &lt;em&gt;yet another book I liked&lt;/em&gt; to the list and so completely broke the entire topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;When I first started, there was &quot;Mastering Turbo Pascal&quot; by Tom Swan. There is nothing terribly profound about this book. It was clear and concise with usable examples.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The single most influential book every programmer should read...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The same would happen to your topics. The book recommendation topic will list every book on C++ that was ever written.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding editors...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What constitutes an acceptable editor depends entirely on what you are used to, and what features you regularly use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's difficult to recommend something to another person&lt;/strong&gt;, because you just can't know their preferences. While some features are indispensable to one user, another hasn't even heard of them. And yet both use the same application. What good is one user's recommendation for a new text editor to another?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without &lt;strong&gt;specific objective criteria&lt;/strong&gt;, what do you consider to be a good answer to a question? The one you like best, the ones you know?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I prefer &lt;code&gt;vi&lt;/code&gt; via SSH to Notepad++ on Windows. I prefer TextMate on OS X to both &lt;code&gt;vi&lt;/code&gt; in Terminal, or MacVim. I haven't figured that one out yet. What editor would you recommend to me?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A topic about editors will be &lt;strong&gt;dominated by the usual suspects&lt;/strong&gt; everybody knows, while there's also three pages of editors almost nobody ever heard about. As soon as another editor comes out, someone will append that one to the list. &lt;strong&gt;It will look like a Google search results page&lt;/strong&gt; or Wikipedia list of text editors (except that the feature comparison tables will be missing, and the ordering is rather arbitrary). Late entries will have no chance to get to the top, even they are are popular and almost perfect for almost everybody.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if &lt;strong&gt;the state of the art&lt;/strong&gt; changes, the same topic with the same old, now perhaps obsolete recommendations is still around, with new entries having to chance to rise to the top. What do you mean, the top 10 popular recommendation don't cover C++11? Time to open a new recommendation topic with implied requirements that change over time. PHP6? HTML5/Canvas? Nope, you're still building your web pages using tables and you better like it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's really easy to research programming books, text editors, or graphics editors on the web.&lt;/strong&gt; A simple Google search produces dozens of viable results very quickly. SU is not an encyclopedia of top lists related to computers, and those topics wouldn't add anything to the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What adds value are &lt;em&gt;specific&lt;/em&gt; questions. Questions that cannot be easily solved otherwise, &lt;strong&gt;questions that require in-depth knowledge&lt;/strong&gt;. Questions that aren't answered by posting &quot;Notepad++&quot; or &quot;Stroustrup&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you need a PHP5 (!) editor that has project-wide function and class name completion, some way to quickly find and open files that are part of the project by a substring of the file name, and needs to work on Linux and Windows, asking for that &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But your examples are too broad in scope, and too subjective to be of any use to others.

This hover text is very prominent and I beleve every user who's cast a downvote will have seen it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still, once you obtain the privilege to downvote, you'll get a link to the description page. It's fairly accurate. &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/vote-down&quot;&gt;Here's what it says&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Use your downvotes whenever you encounter a […] no-effort-expended post&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a way, this could be interpreted like the following: Every user is expected to read the FAQ and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/how-to-ask&quot;&gt;How to Ask&lt;/a&gt; page. Posting an off-topic question is therefore a sign of you probably not understanding the FAQ, or actually not having read it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this regard, I can understand the occasional downvote for off-topic questions. Since not everybody votes down questions that are off-topic, but the SE community still figured these questions deserved punishment, questions closed as off-topic and &lt;em&gt;not a real question&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84978/should-questions-closed-as-not-a-real-question-and-off-topic-get-an-automati&quot;&gt;automatically get a downvote&lt;/a&gt; from the Community user. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe this is a strong sign that downvoting on bad questions needed to be encouraged more. See also the Stack Overflow blog post: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/&quot;&gt;Optimizing For Pearls, Not Sand&lt;/a&gt;. The essence (emphasis mine):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Therefore, the only logical thing to do is to maximize the happiness and enjoyment of answerers. If this means &lt;strong&gt;aggressively downvoting or closing unworthy and uninteresting questions&lt;/strong&gt;, so be it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You say that voting is &quot;not supposed to be used as a mechanism for flagging inappropriate questions&quot;, but this is exactly what it's supposed to be. Over all, I believe the reasons for voting down are well known. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, history shows that both team and community tried to encourage downvoting content that is not a good fit for the site.

Debating each point can continue till the cows come home still.  Picking and nitpicking points out of the huge legislation could then be applied to concider EACH question as good or bad, and debate that till the world ends.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Often the issue with &quot;useful&quot;  downvoting, is it &quot;isn't useful to WHO?&quot;  Well I dont give a flying leap about your question, so it isn't useful to me :-). or  I don't want to see the site direction head to that type of question, So get Outta here with it.  Is it not useful because I cannot even read it, so what is the use in that :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Want to see a question Upvoted?  Ask a question that Many Many people already asked before, and many people Know the answer to already???   Yes, I am saying that the lamest least researched questions, can achieve the highest upvote.  Then will be turned down for being a Duplicate :-) .&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question didnt &quot;show any research effort&quot;  Because I can find 10 answers that don't work with a single web search :-) . It is obvious that it isn't well researched , if I found an answer to it by researching.   80% of the questions on this site already fit that catagory,  they have some answer on the web, FINDING it , or finding the right one, or even knowing WHAT to research for, what words to use in the search, that is different. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I feel the &quot;doesn't show research&quot; would put 80% of the questions into the get outta here catagory. Leaving nobody with any form of REP for having answered :-)  Nothing left on the site but a bunch of questions that can barely be answered to begin with. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of being able to ask a &quot;Question&quot;, that is more specific to your situation, would be to talk to humans, instead of reading (again) a 300 page book (so called research) that has the answer in it like a needle in a haystack.  Humans who are well researched, or better Experienced, in a particular question (that is not researched well enough) get thier REP by using the info they know, or know-how to research.   Information is transfered via Human Data Brain transfer, this is a good thing. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &quot;not researched&quot; question, can end up applying to a &quot;Not Documented&quot; question.  A single sentace question, that said  &quot;I have this problem&quot;  , but does nothing to tell us &quot;I already tried these Things to try and solve it&quot;.

People are on the most part not being left out when they ask questions that the Mob doesn't care about.  If the MOB is stoning your question in the town square, thats how it works.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If users are going to waste bullets trying to shoot people down , at least they still have to pay 2c a piece for them :-)  If the ghestapo crashes in and tosses the whole thing, well we voted for them, hang around at election, and be one of the &amp;lt;10% that voted for them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My opinion on DownVoting an Answer: The person Tried at least,  got a Better one we would love to hear it.

In that case, the &lt;em&gt;read-only reputation&lt;/em&gt; on the corresponding Meta site really is something else, because Meta doesn't care about your technical knowledge. For Meta, it's simply &lt;strong&gt;how much you contribute to the main site community&lt;/strong&gt; that is being discussed on Meta. If you've never been to Meta, but been a contributor on the main site, you &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; Meta reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But that isn't the whole story&lt;/strong&gt;. You gain main site reputation from answers, questions, bounties and (a bit) by editing others' posts. It always has been a &lt;strong&gt;measure of the amount and quality of your participation&lt;/strong&gt;, and all of it (except self-inflicted downvote costs) &lt;em&gt;is provided by other users&lt;/em&gt;, either by them up and down voting, assigning bounties, or approving your edits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, we care not only about users providing raw content, but also about contributing in other ways to the community. This has always existed through badges, but since edits, like fixing ancient posts or contributing tag wiki descriptions are awarded reputation, even indirect contributions have reputation value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meta participation is one such indirect contribution&lt;/em&gt;. By contributing good content to Meta, be it bug reports, feature requests that are realized, discussing what the community values and respects, and building a knowledge base of articles on the use of the site (support questions), contributions to Meta have value to the community as a whole. And don't think Meta isn't part of the site. &lt;strong&gt;Meta &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; part of the site as a whole&lt;/strong&gt; -- every user automatically has a corresponding Meta account and can contribute to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, ignoring the special case of MSO, &lt;em&gt;there is no reputation rewards for contributions to Meta&lt;/em&gt;. This can have several reasons. One, of course, is the purity of the reputation value. It should only, or at least, primarily represent the &lt;em&gt;contributions to the main site&lt;/em&gt;. Another might be that &lt;em&gt;votes on Meta are easier to get&lt;/em&gt;, since the topics are easier, and less strict about what is correct. I am sure there are others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this Meta topic, I request we rip this nice separation apart and allow bounties for Meta topics. &lt;strong&gt;Here's why it's not a bad idea&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;1. They cost reputation&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Different from main site votes, they &lt;em&gt;cost&lt;/em&gt;. We have decidedly fewer answer downvotes than the free question downvotes on the main site, very likely because users don't like to pay the -1 cost for posts that'll get deleted anyway. &lt;em&gt;On Meta, users are free to express any opinion by up voting and down voting whatever they want&lt;/em&gt;, since it's free. Users likewise aren't pushed towards posting Meta topics for their expected popularity to &lt;em&gt;farm reputation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bounties cost reputation&lt;/em&gt;, even if there's no eligible recipient, or any recipient you like. It's not like we generate reputation from nothing, like with votes and edits. I have to pay X reputation so that another user receives at most X reputation. It will be pretty unlikely for a user to gain enough reputation from Meta bounties to significantly outweigh his regular contributions. This is almost mandated by the cost of bounties and the fact that &lt;strong&gt;you need to know how the site works to be able to contribute value on Meta&lt;/strong&gt;. You just don't know the site if you haven't provided value yourself, and then cannot really contribute to Meta in turn.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;2. Reputation comes from main site contributions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You cannot pay for Meta bounties using Meta reputation, because it doesn't exist as an independent entity. Your reputation comes directly from the main site. You need to pay for getting additional exposure by having contributed an equal amount to the main site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a good thing. &lt;em&gt;It makes Meta bounties more valuable&lt;/em&gt;, because you only have one reputation budget to spend on bounties instead of two.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;3. It doesn't introduce new problems&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While we introduce some crossover between good Meta participation and good main site participation, it's not a problem that can somehow lead to exploits. If someone want to transfer some reputation to another user, it only requires a single answer on the main site to do so. We &lt;em&gt;encourage&lt;/em&gt; users to provide bounties after answers are posted if they want to express their gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;4. It helps&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's face it: &lt;strong&gt;Meta participation on this site is lacking&lt;/strong&gt;. You can probably count on two hands the regular users on this site, and could still cut off a few fingers if you were to exclude diamond moderators from this count. This feature would hopefully &lt;strong&gt;increase interest in some Meta discussions&lt;/strong&gt; and therefore the Meta site as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We already have &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/featured&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;featured&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;featured&lt;/a&gt; for topics that are advertised on the main site. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/3970/22317&quot;&gt;It just doesn't help a lot&lt;/a&gt; (featured for over a month, less than 10 views per day and no &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; contributions*).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bounties are a way for admittedly the higher reputation users like me to try to get more views for topics we consider important. And most Meta topics posted by higher rep users (excluding me perhaps this past month) are relevant! &lt;em&gt;Since the entire site profits from Meta contributions, be they community policy decisions, reference support topics, or to get others to consider the merits of a feature request or a bug report, &lt;strong&gt;everybody wins&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. It doesn't &quot;buy upvotes&quot;. It simply gets much needed attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It also enables out of band reputation transfers for any reason &lt;em&gt;not discouraged by moderators&lt;/em&gt; (topics must survive for two days before they're eligible), something that can power &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/3905/22317&quot;&gt;special events such as the community wiki sponsorship&lt;/a&gt; suggested a while ago and which are pretty much impossible to do without team support otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While from a certain purist point of view you might be right, not having Meta bounties is counterproductive. &lt;strong&gt;Child Meta bounties enable us to do good by hopefully increasing Meta participation and have no downsides that aren't already present through main site bounties.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;* In a way, this topic is an effort to add a tool to the box of making Meta more relevant and therefore a partial solution to the &lt;em&gt;Actually changing things&lt;/em&gt; topic.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22317" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T09:30:19.973" LastActivityDate="2012-02-02T23:20:55.117" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While plain &quot;recommend me …&quot; is definitely off topic and will always be, many &quot;Looking for alternative to …&quot; questions still slip through.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we filled those empty and meaningless tag wikis with valuable content, we could easily be more strict in terms of moderation and shut down these questions – even without having a duplicate ready.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, &lt;strong&gt;yes, let's do it&lt;/strong&gt;. If we do this, we should keep the following in mind though:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tag wikis are probably third  class citizen&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think it's reasonable to say that – at least currently – only a small portion of our users reads and curates tag wikis. Only their excerpts are visible on the front page. Some users that see those excerpts while typing in tags &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; get their tags wrong. We can assume they wouldn't even click on the &quot;Info&quot; button to see more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We therefore need to promote them as much as we can. First of all, by adding information. Second, by linking to what we have &lt;em&gt;on the front page&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Not abusing the tag wikis by including too much information&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nobody will read walls of text, few will care to write them in the first place. There's no real gain involved (+2 for an initial write-up), no public user name shown, et cetera.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we have great stuff to write about, make it a post on the Super User blog. If there's a question specific enough so that it can't be answered by a brief canonical tag wiki write-up or basic research, it probably deserves to be a question on the main site and we can deal with it on a case-by-case basis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tag wikis are no answers&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They should be as canonical as possible. In very rare cases, the existing answers we have on the main site are a good fit for a tag wiki. There's no question to be answered, therefore the content should probably be written without having a question in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's think about the average user who comes here, being redirected through the tag itself or a friendly reminder about the FAQ and which kinds of questions are off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Being critical about suggested edits&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's no place for &quot;I recommend …&quot; here.

Read my post but skip the optional stuff... :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Every now and then, we get an edit flood at our front page. This sometimes happens without any consensus and sometimes even at unacceptable moments / rates. Which is why I think we should get a better coordination on this when such edit floods want to take place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've frequently done took part of this myself, my main intent is that I want it to happen but that shouldn't cause one to act by himself. If we get this better organized we act more together as a community...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't to see users banned for a full week just because of a misunderstanding, that scares them away!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main Idea: We should require users to get permission from a moderator.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Q: I want to perform these changes to the site, may I perform an edit flood?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Three options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;♦ agrees: As there has been a consensus on this, you are free to go.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;♦ delays: Not at this point, it's [&lt;em&gt;peak moment in day&lt;/em&gt;] right now. You can do it later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;♦ denies: We have not reached a consensus on this, you are not allowed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, a moderator can give this permission when a meta question wraps around:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;♦ makes a meta question OR adds a comment to a post explaining a consensus has been reached.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional: We could gather these edit floods to do edit flood X times a year instead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, it doesn't seem a bad idea for a moderator to collect the things that seem necessary to be done and then we try to get this through as fast as possible. Instead of doing these multiple days, we just do these X times a year such that the rest of the time there are no edit floods on the front  page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's fairly easy to do this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create a chat room where we organize this, assign each person a different topic to edit such that edits do not collide with one another. This makes an edit on one topic actually go faster.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get everyone to open as much tabs as possible on the topic he needs to edit and prepare the edits along, you could like for example set up X minutes to do this. Then afterwards people literally flood the site which requests while still trying to avoid the captcha / IIS request limit, we don't want to take Super User litterally down in the progress.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The infrequent visitor sees a flood at that moment which resolves soon after, instead of our visitors seeing unfortunate edit floods at more frequent intervals.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional: The SE system could be foreseen from an edit rate limit, which shows a warning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That warning could explain that one should raise the required editing on meta such that it can be added to the above organized edit floods, of course the rate should be disable by moderators such that we can have the above edit floods when we really need them. &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3432172#3432172&quot;&gt;The rate limit idea is by nhinkle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The only thing left to do is, discussing these idea and filling in the X...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Main questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are your thoughts about this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do you think is an acceptable limit on rate of edits, as in X edits per Y minutes?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have any other ideas / contributions to the &lt;code&gt;edit floods&lt;/code&gt; topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Optional questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Supposing that it is a good idea, how many times a year should we organize an edit flood?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What should the warning towards an edit flooding user say, if it gets implemneted?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3103/do-we-care-about-edit-flooding-should-we-be-doing-anything&quot;&gt;Do we care about edit flooding?

To my knowledge, this means not just no editing, but no answering.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yet another important fact to consider is that even if this raises a flag or something like that for mod attention, it might not get dealt with for an hour. While generally this is not a concern (and in many cases it is less) to a user that is in the middle of going through \review it just stops them cold. And they don't know when they can continue. This seems like it will have a chilling impact on the heavy use of \review.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if we coordinate edit flooding, and thus avoid it being a problem to the average user at the average moment, it still leaves the issue of the edits not really getting &amp;quot;reviewed.&amp;quot; This is the reason that there is no minor edit flag. In theory, someone could edit a post during that time to be something offensive, and no-one would catch it for a long time, buried as it was under all the other edits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is my understanding that most things that will cause edit flooding that can be known in advance should be taken up on meta, and a mod/dev deals with it (like a mass retag, burning a tag, etc). These issues should never be done by a user on their own in any case, and so the proposed collaboration will not be helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For your second question, I think that if something like you idea is implemented (and I am not for it to be honest) the rate should not be a fixed number / minutes, but rather having more than N on the front page at a time. Allows for faster reset on an incremental basis, and accounts for heavy traffic periods that way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to your third question: I don't think its really a problem when flooding occurs with &amp;quot;good edits&amp;quot; It is the same as it is the same as Community bumping old questions, except faster. It may cause some very temporary issues, but overall, not exactly what I would call harmful. It is only really a problem when someone goes ahead and makes loads of edits that are not useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Aside:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the optional part of your post has a lot of potential, but NOT as a remedy to limiting edit flooding. I think it would be great to clean up all the question in particular tags, all in one fell swoop, as it would make things like locating dupes much easier, would make things much easier to learn about, and would make the site much better in those areas. I think it would also encourage more people to edit. Seeing the editors for the past month shows a large divide between the 100+ edits this month, and the less than 100 edits this month, and I think that organizing edit drives, (if more people could get involved) would be great in reducing this divide, and getting more people involved in the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="82812" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-02-16T03:52:50.070" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There's no diamond sign on this page and it doesn't look official in any way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nothing happened. I asked in chat again (can't find the link), but still, no changes.

And many of them do not&#xA;come up in a search , like when seeking out the dupes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the far end of tags, there are fad items, vapor , and worded&#xA;different repeats that at most have a few items to move, that both&#xA;fall easily under either one.

The assumption here is from a word base of ~5000 technical terms and Brand names , about ~500,000 different usable combination tags could be created. Some tags would have to remain in the long form , making a total of ~5500 tags.  (The actual math is ~5000^5?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4B) Tags should be as descriptive as possible, Combinations of words should be used as often as possible so the meaning is clear, and having ~250,000 tags will be effective, and each can have a very well made descriptions. Endless creation of combination will have to be created.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5) Does the community agree with me on this idea?  A very limited quantity of moderators, like one or two total, should set a pattern and make descisions about Tags, or even be given control of the Tags on SU , so they can administer them properly under one theme? One idea, not 2-3 ideas that differ in the organisation of the tag system? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;6) Do you think that:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;6A)  Other than a few new tags created each year, that the number of available tags, Are sufficient now to properly and fully tag any question that is on Superuser?  Even if a new product feature or software should come along , could it fall under one of the tags that are now available?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;6B) Should at least one Other person in the community &quot;approve&quot; of a tag prior to One person creating a new tag?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;7) Fun historical comments &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;these tags are WAY too long, and screw up listings in a bunch of&#xA;  places.

The Most Commonly Used tags are the first items to come up. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ADDITION&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;My definition of &quot;followable&quot; People have specific interests, You can pick a bunch of tags to follow Or ignore.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When those tags items are [combined-already], you have to find all the combinations and attempt to follow or ignore them.&lt;br&gt;&#xA; &lt;strong&gt;If I wish to follow [AUDIO] with Simple tags&lt;/strong&gt; I find [AUDIO] and follow it.  With the simple method  I am now Following , [AUDIO][ENCODING] , [AUDIO][OPTICAL] , [AUDIO][ANALOG] ,  [AUDIO][CONVERSION] , [AUDIO][DIGITAL] , [AUDIO][SOFTWARE] , [AUDIO][DOLBY] , and every other combination the users can dream up where audio is involved.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;My follow is more or less permanent, it is one item&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When items are combined Already,&lt;/strong&gt; I could find [AUDIO-ENCODING] , [AUDIO-OPTICAL] , [ANALOG-AUDIO]  , [AUDIO-CONVERSION] , [DIGITAL-AUDIO] , [AUDIO-SOFTWARE] , [AUDIO-DOLBY] ,   It is very unlikly that I am just going to follow Just One of these combined items. Each time a new combined item is created, it is not in my follow list, which is now only following this &quot;audio&quot; mess , and I still have the other interests I would want to follow.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;My follow is way more items strewn through the tag system, that changes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is just one example, If I was following the OS I am using, A hardware type I am interested in, or a branded set of peripherals, it would be different.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Really do I need specific examples? &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/4539/managing-management&quot;&gt;Managing Management&lt;/a&gt;  lol&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Possible dupe :-) &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/48417/should-we-zap-the-low-occurrence-tags/48418#48418&quot;&gt;Should We Zap The Low-Occurrence Tags?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="98855" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2014-04-23T09:11:41.447" Title="Tags Taking out the trash Or Creating a bigger mess?"

Because &quot;video&quot; by itself doesn't really mean anything, and &quot;conversion&quot; is applicable to all kinds of domains.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I will assume that most people don't browse on tag combinations, but one actual tag they find interesting. After all, what are tag wikis for? Let's take the &quot;conversion&quot; example … I &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/tags/video-conversion/info&quot;&gt;wrote a tag wiki for &quot;video-conversion&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, because it makes sense to condense the most important info and tools right there. Not in &quot;video&quot;, and not in &quot;conversion&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Does the community agree with me on this idea? A very limited quantity of moderators, like one or two total, should set a pattern and make descisions about Tags, or even be given control of the Tags on SU, so they can administer them properly under one theme?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, I disagree. The whole point of tags is that it's a folksonomy. People create stuff based on what they think is right. Now, sometimes – with a certain predictability –, people are not too smart. They will for example use the tag &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/compress&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;compress&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;compress&lt;/a&gt; when we already have &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/compression&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;compression&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;compression&lt;/a&gt;. But it's not like we can't salvage that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, these are the new tags for the last 30 days, accessible in &lt;code&gt;/tools&lt;/code&gt; for users ≥10k reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/sQ18X.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can always fix these. As you can see, we have already dealt with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/things-for-mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;things-for-mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;things-for-mac&lt;/a&gt;, for example. Of course, we don't have so many 10k users, and not everyone checks these tags. But community awareness is good enough so that when something needs to be done, it gets posted here as a &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/retag-request&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;retag-request&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;retag-request&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Should at least one Other person in the community &quot;approve&quot; of a tag prior to One person creating a new tag?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since we have these tools, no. We can always review them and act as necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And honestly, our moderators have better things to do. They should only step in when the community can't do anything. But we &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; maintain tags on our own. Arguably, some &lt;a href=&quot;http://cleanup.thepcspy.com/info/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;other sites&lt;/a&gt; do a &lt;a href=&quot;https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3263/structured-tag-cleanup-software-engineering&quot;&gt;better job&lt;/a&gt; at this, but it's just a matter of Meta etiquette and culture.

Secondly, a high reputation on Stack Overflow doesn't imply a nuanced understanding of Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions involving a bit of command line scripting, some VBA, a bash script, AutoHotKey and things like that are pefectly valid on Super User.

Now, to address your specific questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The first one was asked and answered half a year ago. Migrating it now is kind of pointless, and there's nothing about the question which makes it inherently off-topic for Super User.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The second one isn't even on-topic for Stack Overflow!

Simply because different programs can result in a different scheduling of your processes. When you defer from the general standards, you get something that &lt;em&gt;only works for your use case&lt;/em&gt; rather than something that applies to the general audience. As Ivo Flipse outlines in his first comment to your question, there are no urban legends that would &lt;em&gt;apply to anyone&lt;/em&gt;; simply because they would have already been applied after these many years...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, as this is a question where both ends are pulling; I would otherwise have chosen to vote your question as not constructive, for similar reasoning as provided above. There is no definitive answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I see no way to improve your question. It boils down to doing some homework / research on how to improve the performance of these programs in your use cases. Do performance comparisons before and after applying your tweaks to see what works and what doesn't. Also check out whether you can get around running things from RAM instead of your HDD where possible; similarly, database programs allow you to configure caching which also helps improve performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The bottom line here is: &lt;strong&gt;There is no single magic fix that works for every program on every PC.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;eg.

A website is a site hosting pages on the web.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A webpage is not really ambiguous, you're watching one right now. A website can be interpreted somewhat ambiguous; in fact, look at the interesting different results Google provides us:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/8wYV1.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excuse me for no freehand circles and guiding text, there isn't much place for that.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, according to the dictionary a website is &lt;code&gt;a computer&lt;/code&gt;. However, this is really incorrect as a computer can host multiple websites. If you also look at the other result, you get something more serious; but it's still loaded with stuffing words like &lt;code&gt;set&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;related&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Putting that detail aside, we can at least assume two approaches:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hosting a website&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Browsing a website&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/website&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;website&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; tag could be ambiguous because you can approach a website in (at least?) two ways.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From a slant look through that tag, I see questions about...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... uploading something to a website. &lt;em&gt;(browsing / hosting)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... getting a website working. &lt;em&gt;(browsing)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... website framework / system recommendations. &lt;em&gt;(hosting)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... hosting a website in a certain way. &lt;em&gt;(hosting)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... downloading / blocking / translation / ... &lt;em&gt;(browsing)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;... programming / design of a webiste. &lt;em&gt;(programmer / designer)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So yeah, the tag is indeed used in a somewhat ambiguous way. However, it doesn't look bad to have this tag to me on the other hand; because introducing more tags like this wouldn't be a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/webpage&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;webpage&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt;, these all seem indeed related to one webpage but I feel like they fit under the &lt;code&gt;getting a website working&lt;/code&gt; type of questions (and similar) from the above list.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, there is indeed the tricky question whether we would need this specific tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are the options here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We merge&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/webpage&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;webpage&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt; into &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/website&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;website&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We keep them both&lt;/strong&gt;, making sure that &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/webpage&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;webpage&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt; is applied to questions regarding a single page. Because I think there are questions in &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/website&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;website&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; which could also be tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/webpage&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;webpage&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We throw both of them away&lt;/strong&gt; and use better tags like for example &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/browsing&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;browsing&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;browsing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/hosting&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;hosting&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;hosting&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, this leaves me undecided. The first one breaks the usefulness of having them separated, the second could be kinda annoying to follow-up on and the third one takes categorization into account but would require thinking out in which tags we divide them in (and get rid of the off-topic stuff).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thinking out the third point could lead to something, unless someone feels convinced by #1 or #2...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastActivityDate="2012-03-16T13:48:17.200" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For one, it may not be obvious that the image is being visually resized.

But remember that the main concern here is to &lt;em&gt;prevent people from wasting time&lt;/em&gt; by not having them answer the question, it is not our goal to have all duplicates closed – but if you want to try, feel free to go ahead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;What can I do to improve the question?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Turning a badly written question into a question of high quality can help getting  an answer for the question, as well as &lt;em&gt;making our site look better&lt;/em&gt;. The point of a Q&amp;amp;A site that can be edited is that you don't have to scroll through boring forum pages. Instead, it should take you minimal time to read the question and the best answer, while learning the most from it in the meantime. This is often summarized as &lt;em&gt;Quality &gt; Quantity&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;For example, turn recommendation questions into questions that ask for specific and expert advice instead.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;Q&amp;amp;A is bad, let's go shopping&lt;/a&gt; outlines that while recommendation questions are not welcome, they could be improved by changing them to be asking for advice. While some questions are not salvageable, it is really worth it making an attempt to save questions who would result in really valuable advice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider how &lt;strong&gt;&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/297274/which-hardware-to-buy-to-meet-my-needs/297753#297753&quot;&gt;What do I need to consider when buying hardware to meet my needs?&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; is a constructive question and is instead extremely useful advice, not to forget that you &lt;em&gt;can link to that advice&lt;/em&gt; the next time such not constructive question has been asked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, when you come across &quot;Do I buy gaming mouse X or gaming mouse Y?&quot;, you know what to do...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Turning the title from a topic / task into a question about the problem.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, the title of a question really doesn't explain its context.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider these three:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Force DNS Server&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to force DNS Server?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where can I force a specific DNS server to be used on OS X?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first one really doesn't tell me anything, the second one has the habitual &quot;add 'how to' or 'how do I' in front and we'll be alright&quot; behavior which &lt;em&gt;adds exactly nothing&lt;/em&gt;. Both of these two are focusing on the topic / task / goal, but none of these two are about the problem. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exactly, in the third one we get rid of the topic / task / goal and &lt;em&gt;turn it into the problem&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; which clearly lets you see that the user simply can't find the setting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is another effective one:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Assinging MacBook Function Keys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to assign MacBook function keys?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do I need to assign a F1 - F12 key to a specific command on my MacBook?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Only the last one clarifies the problem, and is also more SEO-friendly as a side-effect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Make the body easier to read.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Removing excessive parts from the question as well as improving its look can greatly help:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Format the question with proper use of strong/emphasis/quotes/code-blocks/textual links/images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get rid of any spelling mistakes, make sure to use a spell checker / dictionary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;Enter&lt;/kbd&gt; is our friend, multiple paragraphs instead of a wall of text are preferred.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remove noise that is of no value: Ranting, &quot;hello&quot; and &quot;thanks&quot; parts as well as signatures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Categorize the question into the right place.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides what's asked in the title, you can also help the reader by adding tags to the question. This allows the favorite tags system to function better, eventually getting the right persons to the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Make sure you add as many tags as possible, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/the-death-of-meta-tags/&quot;&gt;avoid the use of meta tags&lt;/a&gt;, and avoid creating new tags unless you &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; have to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Leave an edit note when an edit is not obvious.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While some edit actions in the questions are trivial, not every action would come over as clear to the poster.

But that answer will only be valid for a year at best. The latter question may take some thinking, but its answer will be valid forever … or at least until camera technology somehow shifts beyond lenses and sensors as we know them today. Thus, when it comes to shopping questions, don’t ask us what you should buy — ask us what you need to learn to tell what you should buy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Take a &lt;em&gt;careful&lt;/em&gt; look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/407946/9666&quot;&gt;my answer&lt;/a&gt;, it puts &amp;quot;Look at the subjects / characteristics of your personal data&amp;quot; at first which is useful advice, then it expands on that with examples and a more general approach at the bottom. I'm not suggesting any directory structure here, that's what the OP has to do using our advice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other answer(s) also do the same, outlining that &lt;em&gt;directory structures are hierarchical&lt;/em&gt; and explaining something similar to what I did. Again, this is all advice and it's not a suggestion...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is what I would consider a directory structure suggestion:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Music in /Music, put older music in /Music/Old&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Documents should go in /Documents, study material should go in /Documents/Unvirsity&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... some more very specific things, and then the full file tree ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, this is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; how the current answers are formed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I don't see how the close reason applies to this question and hence would like to see this useful Q&amp;amp;A to be reopened as choosnig the right directory structure is a valid problem that often reoccurs to many people that tend to organize their data to be more productive, this question also passes the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/&quot;&gt;good subjective, bad subjective&lt;/a&gt; guidelines (if you don't agree, perhaps you can improve it further?).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you decide to keep it closed, &lt;em&gt;expect me&lt;/em&gt; to ask it again in a similar form.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or well, maybe part of the Super User community has just became close-minded:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/03/respect-the-community-your-own-and-others/&quot;&gt;When evaluating a question, you shouldn’t be looking to push it off on some other site; instead, ask if it could be appropriate and on-topic for you, the experts who the author decided to ask.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We want to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/4689/what-steps-can-i-take-to-check-and-improve-lower-quality-questions&quot;&gt;help our new users and make their contributions more valuable where they are salvageable&lt;/a&gt;, not bury their contributions without even trying.

I can retrieve them directly via the metadata (or even lyrics presumably), but that would depend on prior organisation. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I could use the &lt;a href=&quot;http://maketecheasier.com/add-tags-in-windows-files-for-quick-and-easy-searching/2010/05/17&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;tag&lt;/a&gt; functionality in windows and search to speed things up - but search is explicitly disallowed.

Some users will however inspect it and comment with the results to conclude whether it performs expected behavior or malicious behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many users are reviewing answers, including those posted by new users, but also regulars.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;When there's doubt about the origin of the file&lt;/em&gt;, we usually edit in a warning somewhat like the above one, then we run the file through some stuff in a virtual machine to get an idea what the file &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, we once had a packed executable that's not only packed once, but multiple times, at the deepest level (4 or 5 times). It became clear that this was hiding malicious code and hence we removed the link. In fact, the user posting the answer even claimed that one needed to disable any anti virus software to get the executable to run.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even more so, the programmer was dumb enough to use University's computers to develop his software. So, if we went further on that one we could have eventually traced it back to the author...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize, it's best to warn users until it is clear whether it is clean or not, at least for executable files. These posts are often obvious given that they are not trying to solve the OP's problem, but rather trying to get you to download the file and execute it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And well, sometimes it does happen that someone goes around and do that, then the whole lesson is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Virus scanners, back-up software, updates and other security measures exist; &lt;em&gt;better safe than sorry.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-04-16T16:28:51.810" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This slows performance, but can be &quot;reset&quot; by applying larger voltage in the opposite direction of the cells to remove the electrons that block the cells.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Read that, then read it again, then read it until you understand why the question was closed :P&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In all seriousness, what the user claims there &lt;em&gt;sounds&lt;/em&gt; wrong.

The most important bits related to your question are these, from the bottom of the blog post:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;First, if you’ve contributed something worthwhile to the site, you should keep the reputation for that even if it eventually gets deleted. “Worthwhile” here is defined as,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;A score of 3 or greater&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Visible on the site for at least 60 days&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your questions seems to say that your answer was at least under the first part of that definition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, you should first verify that that is indeed the case:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/24010/luke?tab=reputation&quot;&gt;your reputation page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tick the &lt;code&gt;show removed posts&lt;/code&gt; box at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verify &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; you lost your reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second question is whether your post was on the site for at least two months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you are now aware of the recent changes, I'll try to attempt to answer your questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why do the good answerers suffer if a question gets deleted?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would think that it is very rare that answers would be really &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; when a question gets deleted, because that is when the question does not adhere to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/faq#dontask&quot;&gt;What kind of questions should I not ask here?&lt;/a&gt; FAQ.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a question is not answerable, chatty, open-ended, wrongly scoped, subjective or meta; then in any of these cases I can't see how it can result in answers that solve a problem or that we can &lt;em&gt;learn&lt;/em&gt; from.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Feel free to proof me wrong with an example...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Is the information not pertinent?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless personal data needs to be removed or a DMCA complaint has been made, information is still in the system and visible to 10k users and moderators. When people disagree with the deletion of an answer but don't want the question to be open either, the recent changes allow moderators to historically lock the post.

I searched first, and I read through a pile of the questions presented with similar titles to this one, but I just didn't spot one that seemed to ask what I'm asking now.

It's often not as bad as you put it. Here on Super User, we don't even have &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; many people who actively moderate and cast &lt;em&gt;Not a real question&lt;/em&gt; close votes. In fact, people don't even downvote as much as the system would allow them to. Since downvotes on questions are free (i.e. don't reduce &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; reputation), it's even &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/&quot;&gt;encouraged to downvote more&lt;/a&gt; (emphasis mine):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We feel that the world is awash in questions, but not answers. Answers are the real unit of work in any Q&amp;amp;A system. Therefore, the only logical thing to do is to maximize the happiness and enjoyment of answerers. If this means &lt;strong&gt;aggressively downvoting or closing unworthy and uninteresting questions&lt;/strong&gt;, so be it. Without a community of people willing to answer questions, it really doesn’t matter if there are questions at all, does it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course it's not exactly helpful for people just looking for an answer. But that is not what the site is about. &lt;strong&gt;We don't want to encourage people posting vague questions&lt;/strong&gt; with no intention to do a little research themselves or even &lt;em&gt;look&lt;/em&gt; after their posts. If these questions get downvoted and closed, so be it. We also don't want to feed &lt;a href=&quot;http://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;help vampires&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are enough users who take downvotes/closed questions as an opportunity to learn how to use the site and learn how to help themselves. I honestly have to say, I don't feel sorry for those who don't. Vague questions are a waste of everyone's time – asking for clarification, editing posts, voting, closing, reopening, all the fuss that comes with that. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you get a few questions closed, then you should really start thinking about how do better approach your problem solving strategy. Often – and simply just because they don't want to be downvoted or have their questions closed again – people actually start helping themselves. And once we have enough information to work with, this is where this community can shine: by providing awesome answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Not only how do you get people to pay attention to &quot;How to Ask&quot;... how do we get people to help us help them?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The same like we've always done. People need to harden up and cast downvotes if they think a question is missing information or the OP has not tried to explain clearly. Of course, you should leave a comment asking for clarification. Many first-time askers don't know where to look and they really shouldn't get comments like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This question is too vague.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But rather:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;-1, this question is too vague. What is your operating system? What did you do when you &lt;em&gt;fooed&lt;/em&gt; the &lt;em&gt;bar&lt;/em&gt;? Is your &lt;em&gt;yak&lt;/em&gt; turned on?

We get a nice differentiation between Mac hardware and the operating system that runs on it. t But at the same time, we have 4,664 Mac questions and 8,026 OS X questions, with 1,995 questions overlapping. I dare to say that a considerable amount of all &amp;quot;Mac&amp;quot; questions are &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; related to hardware at all and actually should be tagged &amp;quot;OS X&amp;quot; instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But why is that? Here are a couple of possible reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple popularized the &amp;quot;Mac&amp;quot; label for anything that is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5z0Ia5jDt4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;not a PC&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;. Since Macs typically run only with OS X, people referring to Mac actually mean the operating system, not the underlying hardware (MacBooks, iMacs, etc).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some software vendors target the &amp;quot;Mac&amp;quot; platform instead of labeling it &amp;quot;OS X&amp;quot;, including Microsoft, who sell &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Office for Mac&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; and not &amp;quot;Office for OS X&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The app store for OS X is often called &amp;quot;Mac App Store&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;People don't read tag wiki excerpts. &lt;em&gt;cough cough&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The gist of all that is: We have so many questions tagged with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;strong&gt;are not about hardware&lt;/strong&gt;.

So let's suppose that we get rid of &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; and see how we approach it then. When doing this it would leave quite some questions with tags that don't make clear that we are talking about Macintosh.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This approach does however conform to the fact that we don't have a &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pc&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;pc&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;pc&lt;/a&gt; tag either. But it will require us to first make sure that any of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; questions that are not about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; get a more specific tag like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-pro&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-pro&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-pro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-mini&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-mini&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-mini&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/imac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;imac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;imac&lt;/a&gt;. This however requires the same amount of effort as Oliver's answer...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It looks though that we can automate a part of it, which are those questions tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; and variants.

None of us do.  Oh, that won't stop any of us from supposing, or guessing, or wanting to discuss what it &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be.  Any of us, including yourself, could do a few Google searches to provide examples of what the next technology might consist of... and some of them would be quite impressive.  But after all of that, none of it is going to produce a solid, exact answer of what the next technology &lt;strong&gt;WILL&lt;/strong&gt; be.  That is the core of things.  What we would suppose, could get buried and never see the light of day in a year, replaced by something none of us saw.  That would make the answer useless.  Superuser is not a discussion forum.  It is a Question/Answer forum.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, I know you asked a question, but there is no definitive answer to your question... only supposition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first example you gave, for why CPUs are still used instead of being replaced by GPUs, has definitive answers right now.  Maybe that will change in a few years, but then again, maybe CPUs will always continue to get more powerful and stay ahead... but the question was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; about the future of GPUs.  It was not about the future of CPUs.  It was about the current state of CPUS in comparison to GPUS and why the latter has not replaced the former.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can you see the difference now?  One is a comparison of two things and was dealt with current facts to provide a definitive answer.  Your question deals with future unknowns and guess work.  Nothing definitive.  It is because it was a speculative question, that it was closed.  It was not a good fit for what Superuser is all about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now... if you want to know why Superuser is not a site for discussions and speculative answers that result in open ended extensive conversations... that would be a very different question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="124584" LastActivityDate="2012-05-09T02:58:24.617" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I mean, someone asking for instructions on how to hack is asking a question that correctly deals with computer hardware/computer software/home and personal networks... providing they are not asking for instructions on how to hack into a facebook account, or an iPhone, or a corporate network, or an xBox(??), etc.  It's a technical fit if they aren't asking where to buy books on hacking... and let's face it, digging up viable information on how to hack goes beyond basic search requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All that said... &lt;strong&gt;SHOULD&lt;/strong&gt; questions regarding the request for instructions on how to hack into computers on a personal network be answered?  Is it right?  Yeah, maybe there are viable reasons... and maybe there aren't.  People can and do lie... and honestly, someone who is looking for instructions on how to hack another computer on their network is &lt;strong&gt;PROBABLY&lt;/strong&gt; lying about some if not most of the details involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is the SU stance on hacking, and questions regarding it... and why isn't it spelled out in the FAQ?

Not only that, but flagging the question as a violation of the TOS doesn't appear to have been valid... since it did not work.  Furthermore, it seems the question has garnered an answer that clearly states within the text of the answer, that some of the advice given is illegal.

The TOS does not govern what keeps a question here.  The FAQ does not govern what keeps a question here.  CLearly stating that you are posting illegal information does not get a question removed.

That's all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By pointing us to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/259075/use-pc-internet-on-mobile-phone-via-bluetooth&quot;&gt;other (very popular) question&lt;/a&gt;, you essentially pointed out that it could be a duplicate of that, because they cover the same grounds. That's why @Ivo Flipse closed it as such. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;at the same time the first question was protected by community&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do note though that the older question &lt;em&gt;at least&lt;/em&gt; mentioned which phone was involved, so there was something to work with. Given that the problem stated in this question probably affects many people, it became popular, received 8 upvotes and over 30,000 views in the year after it was asked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a question receives 30,000 views, there's a good chance some garbage answers accumulate, which need to be deleted. Once a few non-answers have been deleted, a question can be automatically &lt;em&gt;protected&lt;/em&gt; which basically just protects it from being spammed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/0ZRqO.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A question being &lt;em&gt;protected&lt;/em&gt; does not say anything about its value.

As a reference, here's the previous discussion:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3266/should-tablet-computer-questions-be-allowed-on-super-user&quot;&gt;Should Tablet Computer questions be allowed on Super User?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Coming next fall, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Windows 8&lt;/a&gt; will launch and it will also be available on &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ARM&lt;/a&gt;. So I think it's time we revise our current non-tablet policy to start allowing these, effectively from the moment we make this decision.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main argument &lt;strong&gt;for&lt;/strong&gt; allowing them is the big difference between &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_%28Apple%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;iOS&lt;/a&gt; and Windows. As the top voted answer previously said:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It all depends on what operating system it runs in my opinion. Most tablet operating systems are &lt;strong&gt;just glorified, &quot;user-friendly&quot; cellphone-based systems&lt;/strong&gt; (Android, iOS, WP7), and should not be on Super User in my opinion. If the tablet runs Linux/OS X/Windows 7 or 8/Unix, then it's fair game.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows 8 should be mostly the same as regular Windows on a desktop computer, sure it'll have a touch screen and run on locked down hardware, but it's still Windows. So unless your app isn't available for Windows on ARM, your question will probably be the same as those of others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if we start allowing Windows 8 tablets, are we going to keep banning iPads? This policy would be needlessly complicating and luckily we have our sister sites Apple.SE and Android.SE to carry the burden. I would propose to either migrate these questions to their respective sites, given they (hopefully) have more domain knowledge and already have a sizable corpus of questions about these products. Or we make it fair game and start allowing any tablet questions and 'compete' with our sister sites for these questions, which I hope for their sake we'll lose except for the occasional hiccup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That leaves problematic examples like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_PlayBook&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;BlackBerry PlayBook&lt;/a&gt; or other types of tablets that aren't as mainstream as the iPad. I'd say that if we allow these other tablets, we should allow these as well, if only to have a clear policy. The worst thing that can happen to a question is that it'll go unanswered and we already have a fair deal of those, so I don't see tablets being special in that regard. Furthermore, we still uphold certain standards of quality, so if the question is poorly written or lacks sufficient information, we deal with it just like with any other poor question and close it. The same goes for questions that are basically feature requests, unless something has already been done before, we're not a forum to try and discuss possible ways to hack on some feature. Just close them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a final point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rTb2r.png&quot; alt=&quot;Enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We nowadays get twice as many visits/day than when we made the original decision. So in contrast to &lt;a href=&quot;http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/614/electronic-gadgets&quot;&gt;Gadgets&lt;/a&gt;, which lacked sufficient users who could answer questions about a large plethora of gadgets, I think we have sufficient critical mass that as long as it isn't some obscure device, we should be able to answer it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I propose we start allowing tablet questions and see how this plays out. I also don't expect a massive influx of tablet-related questions, just because we would start allowing them, so it's just so we can deal with them when they do start coming.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Go forth and discuss!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1548" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:44.773" LastActivityDate="2012-06-19T19:23:43.143" Title="How are we going to deal with Windows 8 on ARM?"

Now, Linux, Windows and OS X can run side-by-side on Macs. There's never been any issue with running Windows or Linux (or Solaris, or BSD, ...) on regular computer hardware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From that perspective, &lt;strong&gt;ARM tablets look a lot like iPads&lt;/strong&gt; with their missing versatility and vendor-lock-in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Is Windows 8 for ARM a computer operating system?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When Apple switched from PowerPC to x86 processors, they developed an x86 version of Mac OS X Tiger and provided an emulation platform - Rosetta - that allowed execution of PowerPC software on new Intel Macs. There was no doubt that the new x86 variant was as powerful as the PowerPC one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows 8 for ARM (actually &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Windows RT&lt;/a&gt;) on the other hand is severely limited and cannot be considered an alternative to existing Windows systems. It only supports execution of applications specifically designed for &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Runtime&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Windows Runtime&lt;/a&gt;, Microsoft's 2011 programming model for Metro applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Approximately 0% of today's Windows software is compatible with this new programming model.&lt;/strong&gt; None of your software will work on Windows for ARM. It's not just a &lt;em&gt;reduced feature set&lt;/em&gt; of what was there before: They developed something from scratch for the tablet use case. It's simply not as obvious as with iOS, &lt;em&gt;because Microsoft reused it for their desktop product as well&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This looks a lot like Apple's approach to iOS&lt;/strong&gt;: Cherry-pick a few nice things (like .NET), throw away decades of crud, and start with a blank slate. Of course, Metro is used on desktop Windows 8 as well, but &lt;em&gt;integrating the iOS simulator well with OS X's GUI wouldn't make iOS any more of a desktop OS either!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Recap&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 ARM tablets will not run other operating systems. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 for ARM does not support other hardware (due to secure boot requirement). &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 for ARM supports none of today's Windows software&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Software has to specifically target Windows 8's new WinRT/Metro model to run on Windows 8 for ARM.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I completely agree with @slhck:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If the tablet runs a desktop OS, it's on-topic for Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's just that &lt;strong&gt;Windows 8 for ARM isn't a desktop OS&lt;/strong&gt;. And it's not just the form-factor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Should we care?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's always been the goal in Stack Exchange to make sites that target a specific user group. This results in some topic overlap (Apple.SE and SU come to mind, as well as SU/Unix&amp;amp;Linux/Ubuntu.SE), and some topics not handled at all (like with the recent BlackBerry question on this Meta). This has been discussed before and found to be useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a user, I should be able to participate on as few or as many SE sites as I want, and not be sent around from site to site, just because some other site exists for a particular topic. To that end, sites require easy to understand policies that &lt;em&gt;make sense&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just because there's Ubuntu.SE doesn't mean Ubuntu is off-topic on SU. And that there's no BlackBerry SE site doesn't mean we accept questions about it on SU either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only possible reason I can imagine for allowing Windows RT (Windows 8 for ARM) questions on SU is the fact that &lt;em&gt;there's no other site for it on the network&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Beyond the simple issue that this has never bothered us before, because a site's policy needs to make sense without considering other sites on the network, it's short-sighted: Allowing Windows 8 for ARM will reignite the discussion about Android and iOS (at least the tablet variants) in a big way. And I have no idea what a good answer would look like, other than &lt;em&gt;&quot;Yes, we now accept questions about all tablet computers and their software&quot;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I can understand your enthusiasm about Windows for ARM, but arbitrarily changing how we view tablet computers on SU is not the answer&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22317" LastEditorUserId="22317" LastEditDate="2012-05-23T18:25:19.543" LastActivityDate="2012-05-23T18:25:19.543" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you get clarification, then you can move forward.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I initially answered questions based on what the underlying problem was, rather than the literal question that was asked... essentially assuming based on some of the information in the question.

Can you show us that high rep users are more involved in all of that than others? And even if they were, why is it a bad thing to vote down posts?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I ask again: Do you complain about posts getting downvoted for reasons that are &lt;em&gt;explicitly&lt;/em&gt; mentioned?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/4Iadn.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here are the two reasons you think people vote down posts for:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Simple question (that maybe people think is a waste of a post)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is poorly structured.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Simple questions are usually easily answered by just doing &lt;em&gt;basic&lt;/em&gt; research. Doing a web search. Reading documentation. I can't stress enough how important this is. If you expect people to answer your question, they also expect &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; to help yourself first. This whole site is not about being your research assistant — it's about learning to solve problems yourself once you're stuck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downvoting questions that don't show research effort is even &lt;em&gt;encouraged&lt;/em&gt;. Downvotes on questions don't &amp;quot;cost&amp;quot; any reputation since the community managers felt it was more important to downvote content that isn't a good fit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See here for more: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/&quot;&gt;Optimizing For Pearls, Not Sand – Stack Exchange Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That’s why we’re determined to keep question quality high, even at the cost of refusing a little sand. It’s true that you can’t have Q&amp;amp;A without questions, but having the wrong sorts of questions is far more dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The fastest way to kill any Q&amp;amp;A site is to flood it with low-quality questions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And that's why we downvote. Because it is – apart from closing and deleting questions – the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; way for us to filter between the good and the bad. The interesting questions and the ones that can be answered by going on a 10-second Google adventure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I downvote, in most cases I'll leave a comment explaining &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt;, unless it's completely obvious. And for you, as the OP, getting a downvote is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a personal stab in the face, but it should make you think if you really took time to ask a good question and research a little, or if it totally makes sense (or, if it complies to the FAQ). If you then find out that one of these reasons mentioned in the downvote hover tooltip apply to your question – what exactly would you be complaining about?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Granted, nobody likes to have their posts downvoted. Emphasis on &lt;em&gt;their posts&lt;/em&gt; though, not &lt;em&gt;them personally&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;We never vote on persons&lt;/strong&gt;. We vote on content that we deem good or bad for the site we wish to make the most awesome Q&amp;amp;A site on the internet. And we'd like to keep it that way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, your second argument doesn't count. If a question is poorly structured, it &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; attract downvotes. But before I downvote a post, I'd rather go ahead and fix it if it's salvageable. I've now edited almost 7000 posts. Not for the fun of it, but to help those who maybe have troubles expressing themselves to get better answers, or a better response altogether. It's easy for others to fix bad grammar, but it's impossible to compensate for no research effort being shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, there's no point in &lt;em&gt;bashing&lt;/em&gt; new users if they can't formulate a good question or do some basic research. But in order to keep the signal to noise ratio up on this site, voting is just something we &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to do. All of us. You get 40 votes a day — have you ever used all of them? Do you blame other users for &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; features of the site? I mean, you could even cast 40 downvotes a day, and it'd be fine, given that they comply to the rules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And that brings me back to the beginning: If you really think it's high-rep users who do this, then maybe only because they've understood the necessity and importance of voting, or engaging in the community altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really have to stress that again: Downvotes are &lt;strong&gt;not a personal thing&lt;/strong&gt;. Just see them as an incentive to make your post better.

This boils down to the introduction of sub-tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If someone follows or filters &lt;code&gt;product&lt;/code&gt; they most likely also want to follow or include in their filtering &lt;code&gt;product-v4&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;product-v5&lt;/code&gt; - but it would be impractical to have to mention them all for followers and in search.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And on the other hand, it is also simpler for tagging questions, this way only the specific tags have to be added manually.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The relation between &lt;code&gt;brand-product&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;product&lt;/code&gt; could be handled similar.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To implement this, for each tag one or more parent-tags could be defined. &lt;code&gt;Brand a&lt;/code&gt; could be a parent of &lt;code&gt;product 1&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;product 2&lt;/code&gt; could be a parent of &lt;code&gt;product 2 - v4&lt;/code&gt; and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I see 2 ways how this could be handled in tagging:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;a) Whenever a tag that was added has a parent, all parents are automatically added to the tag list. Parents do not count regarding the maxmimum number of tags per question. This way it is more explicit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;b) The other way would be to automatically remove all parent tags, whenever a child is present. But then search and following would have to automatically search for all parent tags of a tag searched for or followed.

In addition, one of the two names (the one starting with n) is something I often came across working with auto mechanics - for example, I found greasing NWORDs on trailers, and it was not censored out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd think that unless the actual intent was to post NSFW language maliciously, we really can't and shouldn't go overboard on PCness. In this case the use of the NWORD was necessary in establishing context, especially if you didn't know what a trackpoint was called - editing out &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; it was answered made it easier, I suppose, but if someone complained about the NWORD in the question, I would have found it odd. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, I suspect that was actually an appropriate use of the NWORD and other body parts, and any reasonable individual not using a dumb word flter would have noticed.

I personally prefer to call it the red eraser thing. More importantly, I do not think self-censorship with the intent of keeping a question or answer to fit in with a arbitrary value of work safeness is productive. Do we apply &lt;em&gt;$cultural&lt;/em&gt; values of SFW? Do we ban the mention of buns because it would disturb discordians?

After looking through the answers and comments there, and some lengthy discussion amongst the moderators, we've come up with the following possible changes to our policies on tablets.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the nature of computing changes, so should we. Increasingly, super users like ourselves have more than just a desktop and a laptop. Furthermore, the line between &quot;computer&quot; and &quot;device&quot; is blurring.

Questions about other tablets would still be&#xA;  off-topic, but we would allow WOA questions since the operating system&#xA;  is similar enough to regular Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If any of the options for broadening the scope is chosen, we will put the new policy into effect shortly, and give it a discrete &quot;trial run&quot; in advance of the Windows 8 launch. At the time of the Windows 8 launch, we expect an influx of tablet questions, so we should have determined by then whether we're OK with the changes or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Initially, this will be &lt;em&gt;quiet&lt;/em&gt;. We may start allowing tablet questions of some form, but will not &lt;em&gt;advertise&lt;/em&gt; that.

You can always phrase something differently, make it easier to understand, or approach a problem from another perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally, if answers on some topics seem similar, that's somewhat to be expected. The only case in which I'd flag duplicate answers for removal are those questions that can simply be answered by  a single line of code or sequence of commands (which happen to be the same), a folder path, a registry entry, et cetera.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question involves argumentation and its answers give more context, then just let those answers stay. Maybe inform the user who answered that something similar has already been posted by pointing them to the other answer(s).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In case of doubt, let it be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another edge case is users posting the same answers to multiple questions, thus &quot;duplicates&quot;. I know this isn't specifically what you talked about, but this is not the kind of behavior we encourage and I figured I might as well mention that. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These kinds of duplicate answers are a good hint that the questions are actual duplicates and need to be closed.

Feedback is &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; good since it helps you along your path.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And as you said, you acknowledged that you've made some rather weak edits yourself, but if you learned from that and could improve, that's probably the best outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That being said, I see one flaw with the proposed system: If voting on edits doesn't involve reputation, then &lt;strong&gt;a downvote on an edit doesn't really matter to the editor&lt;/strong&gt;. They'll just continue – because maybe they wouldn't even notice one of their edits was downvoted. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Similarly, if upvoting an edit does not give reputation, then I doubt a lot of people would edit just for the sake of getting one badge. At least I don't think users care that much about badges (although I could be wrong there).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regardless, I don't see the big problem in encouraging good edits, actually. What we should rather think about is being more active in &lt;strong&gt;discouraging bad edits&lt;/strong&gt;. Although we do trust users who have reached 2k to edit as much as they want, there are obviously some users who have never edited before or generally have no idea what they're doing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/B4Wzp.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I edit rather often, and I haven't had any complaints, but I haven't really had a lot of good feedback either. So I would really encourage all users with editing privileges to watch out for bad edits and in case they spot one, roll it back. Not only that, but leave the editor a notice with @username, and then improve the post yourself, if needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But.. what is a bad edit in a system where there's no peer review anymore (i.e. for users &gt;2k)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;One that's changing the original intent of the question (unless it salvages the question and stops it from becoming closed)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;One that's simply incorrect, like adding useless tags, introducing even more spelling errors, et cetera.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, everyone's standards are different. But there clearly are situations when some users should probably have their editing privileges removed, at least temporarily. Just like the suspension users under 2k reputation get when too many of their edits are rejected.*&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize—and I know I'm rambling a bit—it would be great if we could &lt;strong&gt;become a little more consistent&lt;/strong&gt; with our editing standards, clearly &lt;strong&gt;identify bad edits&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;bring them to community and moderator attention&lt;/strong&gt;.

If a question deserves to be closed on it's own merits, there is no need to know that others have already voted to do so.  There is no need for a question to show that it already has 4 votes and just needs one more to be closed, so that another individual can come along and &quot;do the right thing&quot; and add the last vote to put it over the top.  If a question deserves to be closed, and there is no &quot;pack mentality&quot; being applied in this situation, then it will earn all the votes it needs to close all on it's own.  Right.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, when you DO vote to close a question, there should be no indicator as to what reasons were already chosen.  Why?  Think about it.  If a question doesn't earn a preponderance of the SAME reason for being closed, maybe it was closed for the wrong reason.  However, if there is an indicator that 3 people already voted a question as being &lt;em&gt;Off Topic&lt;/em&gt; and one person votes &lt;em&gt;Not Constructive&lt;/em&gt; the next vote is more likely going to be &lt;em&gt;Off Topic&lt;/em&gt; just &lt;em&gt;because&lt;/em&gt; there are already three votes cast for that.  I don't care who you are, there is no denying that seeing the results &lt;strong&gt;BEFORE&lt;/strong&gt; you vote influences the results of a vote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying that these stats should be removed completely, but they don't need to be visible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There have been elections where Exit Polls that were televised before an election was over were shown to influence not only voter turn out, but the vote swing itself.  People want to be on the winning side.  They want to appear to be doing the right thing.  They look for any indication that they &lt;strong&gt;are&lt;/strong&gt; doing the right thing.  When there is a clear cut path and guide set up for them, they are more likely to follow it.  History has shown us that there are far fewer trail blazers than there are people who follow those trails.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT&lt;/strong&gt; I don't know if I just didn't explain myself properly or what, but I am not proposing that people not be allowed to provide reasons with their vote to close.  I am not proposing an edit to the number of votes needed to bring the question to a moderators attention to close it, or even to close it automatically.  I am simply proposing that the visible tally of current votes already cast to close it be removed, as well as the visible tally next to the reasons for closing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If as has been said there is no pack mentality at all occurring when people vote to close questions, then what I propose would have no detrimental effect on the current system.  If however, there are people are are influenced by the presence of existing votes to close, then there would be a difference in the number of questions closed by voting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;update&lt;/strong&gt; obviously I'm disappointed by the responses, since I now know that people actively do sift through the questions to see which ones have close votes, so they know to join in the pack and close it.  Sad to learn that although questions aren't necessarily closed simply because they deserve to be closed, those who feel the need to know that others have voted to close it won't admit they feel that way at least PARTIALLY because of the presence of those votes.  If they weren't influenced, they wouldn't need an indicator.  It really is that simple.  I'll flag the question for removal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet another edit&lt;/strong&gt; this question only has downvotes and just keeps accumulating more.  I don't agree with the reasons given for the presence of a visible VTC tally, and I haven't been given a convincing argument for why it is necessary to have that visible tally... so why can't I get the question removed?  It serves no purpose to keep the question here.  I'm obviously in a minority, if not &lt;strong&gt;alone&lt;/strong&gt; in how I feel about this, so it doesn't even serve a useful purpose to keep the question for archival purposes.  I get it.

We need to ask ourselves two questions here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Are too many questions being closed?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Were the reasons the questions are being closed for not right?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In both of these, I don't see a problem; if I look through the closed questions I see most have been closed for some good reason, but feel free to come with a counter example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The point behind an alternation in the system is that it should result in a noticeable better outcome from the improved system; while you could theoretize about the so-called &quot;pack mentality&quot; and think about its possible effects on the system, if you don't show they take actually take place then it's hard to belief that there is an actual problem rather than just a thought.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What another site I surfed regularly on a while ago did, was to add a system that tracks people that almost always choose to vote for the majority, and punish them lightly in one or another way (letting their votes be less effective). Of course this was made for that site and wouldn't work as well here...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;There is no need for a question to show that it already has 4 votes and just needs one more to be closed, so that another individual can come along and &quot;do the right thing&quot; and add the last vote to put it over the top. If a question deserves to be closed, and there is no &quot;pack mentality&quot; being applied in this situation, then it will earn all the votes it needs to close all on it's own. Right.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;True, this is an exceptional number. In essence, it gives you some kind of final decision feeling; and because of that, I decide to do the exact opposite and carefully take a look. While there are a ton of obvious cases where you would just close as well, I've found myself to not cast in the last vote on quite some questions to give the user the benefit of the doubt because I didn't feel like it should strictly be closed. This is the opposite take on it, &quot;pack mentality&quot; vs &quot;final decision responsibility&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;However, if there is an indicator that 3 people already voted a question as being Off Topic and one person votes Not Constructive the next vote is more likely going to be Off Topic just because there are already three votes cast for that. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is actually pretty clear cut. The reasons for a question being Off-Topic are stated in the FAQ, whereas Not Constructive applies to questions that are on-topic but won't result in anything valuable that can solves an actual problem in a way that can be learned of. Both of these stand apart from the NARQ (not real) close reason, in which case the question misses something in one or another way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;People want to be on the winning side. They want to appear to be doing the right thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can use this as a reason for the opposite as well; the vote counts teach new people that just earned the rights to vote on questions what type of questions fall under which vote reasons, and over time they will have their own view on it and surely people will vote different. But yeah, there might be people that mindlessly vote but I don't think it has shown to be a problem...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;History has shown us that there are far fewer trail blazers than there are people who follow those trails.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It requires some effort to get to the trail blazers though, you don't get to 3 or 4 close votes before having passed 0, 1 and 2 close votes. And even when it shouldn't be closed, it is revertible...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; As a side note, close vote counts are also shown in review and moderator tools and allow people to see which questions might potentially be closed. While your proposed system might somewhat work on Stack Overflow given the volume, it doesn't have the same effects on other sites. We've found that getting up to 5 close votes is not particularly easy some of the times on Super User, and I would even consider it to be harder on other SE sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't go to that age with &quot;I'll close all the 4 close vote questions&quot; but rather with &quot;Let's see if I can close some questions right away that &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; to be closed&quot;. And because I choose to mostly only vote for those with the most close votes, I even the odds for those that might not need to be closed and are still hanging around ~2.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why would you go to these pages just to do mindlessly repeat the others? &lt;em&gt;You wouldn't...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.647" LastActivityDate="2012-07-07T19:50:16.150" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The bounty is subtracted from your reputation.&#xA;  The answerer is awarded half the bounty amount (unless it’s your own&#xA;  answer, see #3 below).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You accept your own answer.&lt;/strong&gt; The bounty is subtracted from your&#xA;  reputation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note that all bounty awards are immune to the daily&#xA;  reputation cap, of course. Also, a bounty accepted answer is &lt;em&gt;permanent&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;  and cannot be undone. The traditional accepted answer check is&#xA;  “glowing” to indicate that this is a special kind of accept.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was... Pretty awkward. If you didn't get an answer you were happy with, you were stuck. If someone posted a better answer later, you couldn't accept it because your accept-mark was permanently affixed to the bounty winner. If you accepted your own answer, everyone hated you. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So after &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1413/why-an-answer-cant-be-accepted-after-an-unresolved-bounty&quot;&gt;some extensive discussion&lt;/a&gt;, the bounty system and accepted answers &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/06/improvements-to-bounty-system/&quot;&gt;were unlinked&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I’m happy to announce that we’re &lt;strong&gt;improving the bounty system&lt;/strong&gt; to&#xA;  address (almost) all of these issues. As of now:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Any user with sufficient reputation can start a bounty on any question&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;A question may have multiple bounties, though only one active bounty&#xA;  is allowed at any given time. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Bounty awards are no longer tied to&#xA;  accepted answer in any way.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Practically &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; philosophically, this makes far more sense. The &quot;accept&quot; feature was always supposed to be &lt;em&gt;optional&lt;/em&gt; - there's no pressing need within the system for &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; answer to be accepted on a question, ever: unlike many other forum or Q&amp;amp;A systems, the community is able to select the best answer by voting, leaving acceptance as merely an extra indicator of suitability for the asker's specific needs. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, it's usually appropriate for the asker to accept an answer. But, this is his decision to make - if he doesn't want to, nothing breaks. If he decides to offer - and even award - a bounty, that changes nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This is the symmetric case to the grace period introduced some months ago, where an accepted answer gets automatically the bounty after both the bounty period and the grace period have elapsed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, no it's not. There are a handful of rules in place to automatically award &lt;em&gt;half&lt;/em&gt; of the bounty amount in situations where the person who offered it fails to award it. These are in place to make the most of failure, and draw on what little information is available from votes and the accepted answer. So bounties and the accepted answer are connected &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; when:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The bounty isn't awarded by the person who offers it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The asker accepts an answer &lt;em&gt;during&lt;/em&gt; the bounty period.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The answer isn't written by the person offering the bounty.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is an &lt;em&gt;extreme&lt;/em&gt; edge-case - and even when it occurs, nothing stops the asker from changing the accepted answer after the fact, or indeed removing it entirely. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1243" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2012-07-11T21:03:37.910" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Not totally, but I'm not sure whether this would be  a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your premise is that &quot;all of these votes are good&quot;.

Also, it's questionable whether that's even a good measure of which votes are &quot;good&quot; per se.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There really should be limitations, and I'm inclined to say that if you've run out of close votes, better go find something else to do.

Vote to close or delete right away. If there really are high rep users who repeatedly answer bad questions with their one line of code, then let the deletion be a sign for them — don't answer crap questions! If you want to conserve your reputation and have your content stay around, you'll also have to make sure the question won't be deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the question itself is fine, post a comment on the answer, asking them to expand it. High rep users should really know better, and even one line of code can be explained.

Users who have a lot of reputation should lead the community by example – and part of this involves posting great answers where possible. Now, this obviously isn't always doable, especially for cases where the answer is &quot;no, you can't&quot;, but I think you can always manage &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to land in the &quot;low quality&quot; queue.

I came across &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/38885/76571&quot;&gt;this old post&lt;/a&gt; from 2009. The old question has a clear title, but the question text is really unclear. As a result, there are several answers that are shooting in the dark based on several different interpretations of the question. Buried in the mound of seven answers is the now-inactive OP's own solution, which confirms that his question is really the same as the one asked today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, since the old question was in such horrible shape, it would be asking a lot of a (new) user to recognize that their question has been answered previously, so I've chosen not to flag it as a duplicate. Moreover, the new question is phrased more clearly, and as a result, the answer it received is also more clear and helpful than any for the old question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the question is: What should be done to the old post? It has many problems that I think keep it from being genuinely useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is very unclear. In order to be (more) useful, it could use a re-write based on the OP's answer.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Several answers don't address the &lt;I&gt;intended&lt;/I&gt; meaning of the question, yet they have several up-votes.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is rewritten, the old misguided answers and their erroneous up-votes will remain. This will perhaps make the question even less useful to visitors of the site, because there will be a number of (now inexplicable) wrong answers highlighted as good.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think down-voting the misguided answers would be the most just solution (I'm sure the users who answered would agree), but otherwise, the question will remain a mess, even if it's rewritten.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Given this lack of good editing options, is the new question covering the same topic much more clearly grounds for removing the old question?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Also, let this serve as a cautionary tale for users who would rather answer quickly without understanding the question than leave a comment asking for clarification.

You asked a question that has been asked hundreds, of times her on Super User.  Answering those questions day in and day out gets tiring and frustrating to regulars, especially when they're basically the same answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I addressed this issue here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1786/the-infamous-my-pc-is-freezing-question&quot;&gt;The infamous &amp;quot;My PC is freezing&amp;quot; question...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Here's my question, do we just allow each one, and help the Super User&#xA;  along as they learn? Do we try to merge them all into a general&#xA;  &quot;freezing&quot; super question and close any future questions? Or do we try&#xA;  to use the Super User blog and post about stuff like this and then&#xA;  close questions regarding this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And Joel came out with a &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/01/the-wikipedia-of-long-tail-programming-questions/&quot;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; regarding it:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;When you see a question that seems like it might reflect a common&#xA;  problem, &lt;strong&gt;don’t just answer it to get a few points&lt;/strong&gt;. That doesn’t&#xA;  make the Internet any better. &lt;strong&gt;Instead, help us build up a library of&#xA;  canonical questions and answers that are more generic versions of the&#xA;  same question&lt;/strong&gt;, and then start closing all the exact duplicates&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Help us build a great library of canonical answers. If you keep seeing&#xA;  the same form of questions, whether it’s mod_rewrite rules on Server&#xA;  Fault, freezing computers on Super User, or how to use regular&#xA;  expressions to parse HTML, &lt;strong&gt;write a great, canonical answer, once and&#xA;  for all. Make it community wiki so that as many other people as&#xA;  possible can make it great.&lt;/strong&gt; Work really hard on writing something&#xA;  that is clear, concise, and understandable by as wide an audience as&#xA;  possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus was born our &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1856/help-create-and-maintain-community-faqs&quot;&gt;canonical answers&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/community-faq&quot;&gt;community-faq&lt;/a&gt;.

Posting them as comments avoids the implied frowning that the auto-commenter that people (myself included) use from adding these words as a comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Effectively a link-only answer is lazy, and a comment is a lazier way of asking &quot;Does this fix it? If so I &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; post a real answer.&quot; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It doesn't risk a downvote if the link is bad, or otherwise wrong.  It also absolves you to some degree of actually putting some effort in to actually answering the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I dislike link-only comments, but hate link-only answers more because you &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; have tried to pull in the useful information, &lt;em&gt;but didn't.&lt;/em&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The auto-commenter does put a bit of stigma on link only answers and, if it pushes someone to comment rather than actually answer the question, effectively makes way for someone to answer the question properly.  That in my mind is a Good Thing™.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If on the other hand it is an actual proper helpful answer I would prod the person involved to post it as an actual answer so that it can receive the upvotes it rightly deserves.

That's a concrete answer, which can be supported by facts/references. And I'm not sure why people can consider this localised; there's a clear difference in how the editors handle files that affects a lot more than &lt;em&gt;a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the time of that comment, there were two &lt;em&gt;not constructive&lt;/em&gt; votes (okay...) and two &lt;em&gt;too localised&lt;/em&gt; votes (wait, what?).

Think about it: We want answers to be accepted when the OP has decided that this answer &lt;em&gt;worked&lt;/em&gt; for them. Regardless of its score. So, the only situation when you could really ask the OP to accept an answer is &lt;strong&gt;when they explicitly say, &quot;Thanks, this worked!&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; or similar. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And even then, I would check if the OP actually knows how to accept answers – look into their profile and check other questions (if any). If they already know the concept of accepting answers, there's no point in telling them again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, let me repeat: &lt;em&gt;Regardless of an answer's score&lt;/em&gt;. If an answer was voted up by the community but the OP didn't accept it, then why would you ask them to? Maybe the answer doesn't work for them, or it fails to explain something the OP really wanted to know, et cetera. In that case, you could politely ask the user if there's something missing in the answer or if they have any additional questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In all other cases, just leave it. Accepted answers are nice and all, but the +15 reputation shouldn't be the only reason to pester others into accepting answers. Same goes for whining about accept rate. You can tell a user to consider accepting answers if &lt;em&gt;and only if&lt;/em&gt; their questions are sufficiently answered and they haven't responded to any requests on whether they're missing information in one of these answers (which would allow them to accept them).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To go a little further: Think about  how often you've asked a question and then suddenly weren't even in the position to judge whether an answer is correct. I have often ran into the situation where I needed programming help for a project, but that project doesn't exist anymore – so while I probably got really helpful answers, I don't see why I'd need to accept any if I can't verify them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to sum up: If you're unsure, just leave it. No one will be hurt from answers not being accepted.

Actually, I didn't really see the actual question until the last paragraph — everything before was (all valid) reasoning, but in that sense they already answered their own question, right? They already had their opinion and asked others about what they thought.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem that always exists is that these kinds of topic inspire &lt;em&gt;everyone&lt;/em&gt; to have an opinion. While we do have the means to put up a banner below the question asking people to include specific references and backing up their claims, this message is often ignored. A question then slowly drifts into the state where every answer is equally valid, which is absolutely not what we want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the OP were asking for specific evidence of malware being a threat to Linux systems, and factual references supporting that, then I guess the question would be acceptable. Also, asking for reasons, yes. To some extent, that is an acceptable question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, most other users don't feel confident enough to completely change another user's question on their own – rightfully so. If you can come up with an edit to improve the question, and then post a &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; answer, that's of course something we'd appreciate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Understand that the past has shown us that we can't let questions sit around forever until they spiral into becoming a pile of personal opinion, and &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; close them. We need to encourage askers to read &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/&quot;&gt;Good Subjective, Bad Subjective&lt;/a&gt;, and we need to be more strict about point number 5:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Great subjective questions insist that opinion be backed up with facts and references.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Opinion isn’t all bad, so long as it’s backed up with something other&#xA;than “because I’m an expert”, or “because I said so”, or “just&#xA;because”. Use your specific experiences to back up your opinions, as&#xA;above, or point to some research you’ve done on the web or elsewhere&#xA;that provides evidence to support your claims. We like you. We want to&#xA;believe you. But like wikipedia itself, {{citation needed}}. And good&#xA;subjective questions make this clear from the outset: back it up!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To wrap it up, you can of course suggest an edit to the question, then ask for the community to reopen it if they think that salvaged it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-08-07T16:03:34.373" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A much better title would have been, &quot;Is it recommended to use an antivirus client on Linux?&quot; which is a preferable and more open format for such a question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, the original poster of that question had several different definitions for when an antivirus client should be used, stated his/her own reasons, then assumed why Linux might be targeted less, and concluded all of this on his/her own without any external sources (aside from the small link at the end, which coincidentally supported only the OP's viewpoint).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For these reasons, I felt that the question was designed to mislead both readers and answerers that antivirus software should be &quot;avoided&quot; on Linux.  The question then goes on to quickly mention a few other security tools in a one-liner (SELinux/AppArmor...), and then continues to ignore them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My final nit-pick with this question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If there is necessity please list out the needs to use antivirus I&#xA;  like to here the reasons why I need to use antivirus programs on&#xA;  Linux?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This may just be personal opinion, but I think a much better way to end such a controversial question would be to maybe guide the discussion towards the specific cases where an antivirus software is not required - rather than take your average user, and try to convince them that they must have these reasons &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; installing an antivirus program.  Perhaps this would have been a better way:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If it's &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; necessary to use an antivirus program on Linux, can anyone tell me reasons why it's &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; necessary?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See the difference?  The second question &lt;em&gt;assumes you're already using an AV&lt;/em&gt;, and lists the cases where you might &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; want to use it.  This contrasts with the first version (asked by the OP), which only lists reasons why you &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; want to use it (and thus, if the average person doesn't happen to fit into any of those categories, he/she may opt to not use antivirus software even though it may be beneficial).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TL,DR&lt;/strong&gt;:  OP was trying to ask a question in such a manner that people looking at the question would be lead to believe that antivirus software was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; needed running Linux.  Furthermore, OP limited discussion to only antivirus software, and limited his/her sources to a single resource - which happens to support only his/her viewpoint on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6887" LastEditorUserId="6887" LastEditDate="2012-08-07T19:27:02.607" LastActivityDate="2012-08-07T19:27:02.607" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't like it.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These questions are not useful to the general community and lead to &quot;fluffy&quot; link only answers. They really don't solve any problems (the main focus of this site) and it's hard to filter what is good and what isn't when there are 10+ answers all at the same rough vote count.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How TO ASK questions that may require a software solution:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First of all: &lt;strong&gt;Do your research&lt;/strong&gt;. Have you thoroughly searched for an answer before? Do you even have a real problem you need to solve? And if so, have you attempted to solve the problem yourself? Instead of assuming a solution, &lt;strong&gt;ask about your problem instead&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, if you did your research and you can describe the problem to us, then here's how to ask:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I have &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;problem-x&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; that I don't know how to solve. I've already tried &lt;em&gt;X, Y, Z&lt;/em&gt;, but those programs don't work because &lt;em&gt;this or that&lt;/em&gt;. How do I do this?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I have &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;program-x&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; that doesn't work anymore.  How do I troubleshoot or fix this?&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;With these types of questions, make sure that you're as detailed as you can about the issues.  If you just say &quot;My program doesn't open!&quot; and that's it, it will be closed.  Also, be open to other pieces of software that may solve your problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These questions are problem-based, and lead to useful answers.  There may be the recommendations of software in the answers, but those answers &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/how-do-i-recommend-software-in-my-answers/5330#5330&quot;&gt;should&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; also show you &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; to solve the problem as well.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="47225" LastEditorUserId="650163" LastEditDate="2018-10-30T12:41:12.243" LastActivityDate="2018-10-30T12:41:12.243" CommentCount="18" CommunityOwnedDate="2012-08-08T00:16:58.203" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A good guide on how to set up multi-boot with Windows 8 would be very useful. Perhaps one answer each for Windows 8/7, Windows 8/OS X, and Windows 8/Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coping with not-Metro:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;How can I turn off Metro?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some people don't like The UI Formerly Known As Metro.

Right now there isn't a lot of information about a) what the gestures &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt;/how they work, and b) how to get them working. This would be a very useful thing to write about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microsoft Office integration:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Will my version of Windows come with Microsoft Office?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Windows 8 RT (the version for ARM tablets) will come with Office built-in, but x86 editions won't.

The task bar is arguably the Windows GUI equivalent of Fifth Avenue -- a famous and pleasantly grand thoroughfare, steering and endless stream of important traffic through prominent real estate. Contrastingly, the system tray is like the Bushwick warehouse party block, where all persistent background-process-ish things can pop up and act out a little. No one knows where their neighbors are from, but playing around with it feels meaningful enough; in fact it's actually almost endearing... but for the fact that it's constantly loud, and none of all those among its conspicuously myriad and visually distinctive guests seem in charge.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have nothing against the System Tray; it may not be up for a Pritzker (if you will). The incidence of places like the System Tray -- utilitarian affairs that serve a number of important miscellaneous purposes fairly well -- are as common in the physical built environment as they are on our screens. Here's an analogous gathering-ground from my personal desktop:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/fd3pW.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Comparatively, a &lt;strong&gt;Notification Area&lt;/strong&gt; is a more general idea. Notification Areas can be found across the major OSes in varied forms...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/iQSZ0.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... and they are also &lt;em&gt;de rigeur&lt;/em&gt; on web apps, from Facebook and Twitter on down through the ranks (which I won't trifle my fellow superusers with screenshots of those). The &lt;strong&gt;Windows System Tray is more than a Notification Area&lt;/strong&gt;... in fact &lt;em&gt;contains&lt;/em&gt; a Notification Area; my first recollection of this paradigm is of Windows 2000, and the rounded-rectangle cartoon-y balloon that told me A Network Cable [Was] Unplugged, so resolute with clockwork conviction and so frothingly eager because dammit, this is &lt;em&gt;important information&lt;/em&gt;, so what if the network cable wasn't unplugged a couple of those times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Remember all that? The System Tray has been around awhile and it's still there (for the moment, while it's still dark before the Windows 8-rise). It is always &quot;The System Tray&quot; rather than &quot;one system tray&quot; or &quot;another&quot;, right? Whereas when you think of a Notification Area, it's yet another in a ceaseless line of notification areas, with little n's and little a's and enough of a visual twist to distract you from both the competing notifications from other areas and actual notification it's supposed to be serving you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/4L02l.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can't imagine merging these two tags, because one of them is a specific interface that's been around long enough to have visibly evolved, and the other is a vaguer term for a range of elements. The idea of a &lt;strong&gt;Notification Area&lt;/strong&gt; is more abstract, less mature, and explosively diverse than the &lt;strong&gt;System Tray&lt;/strong&gt;: a widget with a familiar crooked smile, who everyone knows from around the way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="130927" LastActivityDate="2012-08-19T20:32:03.603" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For instance, questions like this one:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/465500/unable-to-install-mac-os-lion-on-vmware&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/questions/465500/unable-to-install-mac-os-lion-on-vmware&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The specific activity the OP is engaged in there likely violates the terms of a EULA.  At the same time, there does seem to be a valid question there, the question being something along the lines of &quot;what are my options for running a VM if my CPU does not have hardware VT support?&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So my question is, what is the proper role for the community to take in such situations?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My own personal opinion is that we should not be arbiters and enforcers of third-party licenses, contracts, or other agreements.  People come here looking for specific answers to specific questions, and while something like &quot;note that by doing this you are technically violating agreement X&quot; may be appropriate to include as a note or disclaimer as part of an answer, I do not think such information often (if ever) constitutes an answer in and of itself.  Nor do I think questions should be closed (or rated down) simply for asking for information that may be related to activities which violate a third-party agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do then, when encountering such a question?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion would be that if you are aware of a question that, to the best of your knowledge, involves violating a third-party agreement, and this knowledge makes you feel disinclined to answer the question that's actually being asked, then the most appropriate thing to do is simply &lt;em&gt;not answer the question&lt;/em&gt;.  Ignore it, move on to the next one, and don't try to distract the OP by posting comments or answers along the lines of &quot;hey, you're violating agreement X!&quot;.  Post like that are basically just noise, aren't they?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a company wants to try to enforce their EULA/NDA/etc., then let them.  And let the courts decide which parts of the agreement are actually enforceable and which parts are not, and what penalty, if any, should apply for violating them.  But most of us here are not lawyers, and in any case none of us are responsible for enforcing agreements that exist between a user and some external third-party.  At least not in our capacity as community members and contributors, anyways.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, my opinion is that our goal should always be to help people, not to drown them in legalese or condemn what they're trying to do (exception:  if what they are trying to do is blatantly, criminally illegal; as-in violating established criminal law as opposed to a civil, potentially non-binding/non-enforceable contract/agreement). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I'm interested in seeing what the community's opinion is on this subject.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="110912" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:04.940" LastActivityDate="2014-04-23T09:11:41.447" Title="What's the proper role with respect to third-party EULA's, NDA's, and other agreements?"

In general, when flagging: Don't let moderators decide on what is wrong or right, legal or illegal. Let the community decide to close or salvage the questions if necessary for their technical merits alone. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To give an example, it shouldn't matter whether you want to organize 10,000 (illegally?) downloaded movies or just your holiday videos. There's no point even bringing that detail up. So if possible, give users the benefit of doubt unless they're really up for something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, the following question also becomes relevant: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/2212/is-discussion-of-techniques-for-removing-drm-permitted&quot;&gt;Is discussion of techniques for removing DRM permitted?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Unless it is a clear call for warez, discussion of DRM should be given the benefit of the doubt.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What you have to understand is that more often than not, questions about, for example, Hackintoshes or installing OS X in a virtual machine are almost unanswerable or generally of low quality, since they apply to &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; narrow situations. Face it: That particular piece of software simply wasn't meant to run on that hardware; and these questions will just end up in troubleshooting, answers like &quot;It doesn't work&quot;, or answers that will never be helpful to anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As another example, take questions where users are asking how to find out which files a software changes when installing, or how to change their system time, et cetera, only to get around trial period restrictions. Classical &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem&quot;&gt;X-Y problem&lt;/a&gt;, leading to bad questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Coming back to the Hackintosh example: You always need very specific hardware to accomplish that, and we don't do hardware recommendations since they become outdated very fast or, again, only apply to very narrow situations. Therefore, there's nothing to be gained from these kinds of questions. They don't make Super User a better place and they don't make the Internet a better place – and if you really care about that sort of hacking, there are other forums you can consult.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, in my personal opinion, the technical merits of a post should count more than deciding what is illegal or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Confused yet?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, in 2009, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/535/48078&quot;&gt;Jeff said&lt;/a&gt;, when asked how questions that break ToS or other policies should be handled:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Yes please flag profusely! That's what flagging is there for, and we look at all of them!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, even here, there's no agreement and the decision was forwarded to moderators. Something we probably don't encourage anymore these days. So, unless there's an official stance from Stack Exchange Inc., we'll continue to let the community handle this on a case by case basis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2012-08-26T09:53:02.347" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Like nhinkle outlines; we've had &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/community-faq&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;community-faq&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;community-faq&lt;/a&gt; questions, an &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/17463/can-i-answer-my-own-questions-even-those-where-i-knew-the-answer-before-asking&quot;&gt;introduced feature&lt;/a&gt; which allows immediate self-answers, we try to make some community &lt;a href=&quot;http://sstatic.net/superuser/img/venn-diagram.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt; as well and there's probably some other approaches to it. And then there's still the difference between those high-rep users and mods, they don't all post the same content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I would love to see which content you specifically refer to, so that if we agree upon it then we can relocate and/or improve that content &lt;strong&gt;to benefit our community&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I don’t have a problem with posting articles about solving problems (I do it myself on my blog, as do others like Russinovich), but I don’t think that this is the correct forum for this for several reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super User is not a forum, it's a Q&amp;amp;A site; any such content that falls under the FAQ restrictions is welcome. I'm missing a core reason in your paragraph, can you summarize &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; you think so without listing an entire section of reasons? I'll do the opposite, and use &lt;em&gt;usability&lt;/em&gt; to test your reasoning.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Some of the questions are not ones they actually faced but very generic questions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's not a reason, but solely an observation, it doesn't tell us what's good or bad about it. In the context of usability, it's quite handy for helping people to refer to such generic questions as to not time the same amount of text again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cleaning your computer of viruses is at its core a procedure that goes through the same amount of steps, most of the time; yet, people will continue to ask &quot;I'm noticing some odd behaviour, what do?&quot; without having actually gone through these steps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If they go through these steps instead and &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; experiencie a virus problem, then we can go into a much more detailed question. We don't want over 9000 questions that all ask and answer the same thing, do we? We want questions about more detailed problems instead, to &lt;strong&gt;learn more people more&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;If there is already such a question, then the answer should be posted there instead of making up a contrived question just for the sake of posting the answer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Example? We have actually improved questions to be more generic. Same reasoning as above...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There is already a Super User blog that can be used for posting truly noteworthy help/troubleshooting article, not to mention numerous other places like your own blogs.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Example? &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/community-faq&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;community-faq&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;community-faq&lt;/a&gt; and self-answers are somewhat different from the blog, we shouldn't aim to turn the blog into a generic Q&amp;amp;A place. The blog is made for opinion, the Q&amp;amp;A site is made for facts and references...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;It smacks of rep-mining, especially since even if it is a question that they actually had, they obviously already solved it, so asking the question is questionable whether it’s a generic hypothetical or very specific (too localized?)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we ask a question that ought to help a ton of people, then we sure deserve to gain some reputation from that; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;however&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, there's actually the community wiki option to protect us from gaining too much reputation, so if you believe an user to be rep-mining this way you can always flag the question and state that its &quot;cheese&quot; made to be cut by our &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/08/the-future-of-community-wiki/&quot;&gt;&quot;community wiki knife&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;It opens the door to allow everybody to post question-answer pairs to any every problem they can conceive of. This means that the site could be flooded with simple, pointless questions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And is this actually happening? Can you show us such flood that doesn't prove to be usable?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;One of the tenets of the site is that users are expected to have put in some effort in solving the problem they have before asking, and there reason that there exists a delay before you can accept your own answer: it is assumed that you do not know the solution and must continue trying as well as to give other users a chance to answer it, but these questions don’t conform to that expectation at all&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider that we actually spent answer to make it generic, that's a progress that isn't simple as you have a lot of cases to deal with. For instance, when talking about cooling you have to deal with both fans and water cooling, when talking about the booting process you have to deal with Windows, Linux and more, and so on. It isn't as simple as merely writing a one-liner or one paragraph to Q&amp;amp;A something generic, but then again, you're free to proof me wrong with an example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of our tenets is also &quot;&lt;em&gt;Sharing your experience so others can learn.&lt;/em&gt;&quot;, sometimes that takes more than an answer alone. And that's where we come in to &lt;strong&gt;improving the wiki aspect of the site...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Is this to be allowed? I think that posting questions simply for the sake of answering it does not belong here (that’s what blogs are for), and users should be required to wait some time before even answering their own question just like they do to accept it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You think so, but can you prove? Unless someone proves us wrong, why should we disallow this?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;If we were to act upon our thoughts, without reasons backed up by statistics / facts, this would surely be a weird place!&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2012-09-04T19:46:49.550" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is nice to link the name or title directly to&#xA;  the original work. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Cite the specific CC license the work is under, and&#xA;  link to the specific CC license, ie. for CC Attribution you would link&#xA;  to &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;If you are making a&#xA;  derivative work or adaptation, in addition to the above, you need to&#xA;  identify that your work is a derivative work i.e., “This is a Finnish&#xA;  translation of the [original work] by [author].” or “Screenplay based&#xA;  on [original work] by [author].” &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In the case where a copyright holder&#xA;  does choose to specify the manner of attribution, in addition to the&#xA;  requirement of leaving intact existing copyright notices, they are&#xA;  only able to require certain things. Namely:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;They may require that you attribute the work to a certain name,&#xA;  pseudonym or even an organization of some sort. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;They may require you&#xA;  to associate/provide a certain URL (web address) for the work.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The author of the photo in question stipulated the &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From Section 4a:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms&#xA;  of this License.

If—quoting Jeff Atwood—90% of all visitors can't vote on the stuff they see, then this would explain the lack of votes quite easily. And I agree: It's sad to see good questions stick around with 0 votes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also note that even though new users can participate, you &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/vote-up&quot;&gt;need at least 15 reputation&lt;/a&gt; to vote up posts (and consequently &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/vote-down&quot;&gt;125 for voting down&lt;/a&gt;). This is primarily to allow users to get to know the system's currency first before spamming everyone with their votes, bringing down the value of votes and reputation to zero.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why don't we &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to have a lot of votes?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We use voting as a primary means of selecting between good and bad posts, and if a question turns out to be neither (i.e. not particularly interesting or well-asked), then it might just get no votes at all. And if it only manages to get a few views, then I don't see why the poster should gain reputation for that — there's not much of an achievement there. Maybe the question just had a bad title that prevented people from viewing it at all? Or maybe it really was not useful and much too localized.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this sounds a bit harsh, think about the fact that there are pop ups and reminders everywhere which ask users to vote more on questions if they haven't done so in a while. Voting on questions is even more encouraged by the fact that downvotes don't cost you 1 rep as the voter. And you can vote for 10 more questions than answers per day. So, if a new user happens to ask a good question, they'll get votes quite easily.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Popular ≠ Good&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another aspect you should take into account is the fact that there's an inequality between easy and popular questions and those that are not as easy to find for others but still excellent questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/31253/the-bike-shed-problem-and-so&quot;&gt;Bike shed questions&lt;/a&gt; would get an additional boost of reputation for views just because of their popularity, without the need to be a particularly good question in the first place (&quot;Good&quot; in the sense of the criteria we ask, not in the sense of &quot;Good question! I always asked this myself but never bothered to do principal research&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While we try to shut these questions down pretty early, that's still something you might want to think about when suggesting such a feature. How would popularity play a role in this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That all being said, I think your suggestion has merit, but you will have to take all these factors into account. Also, why not actively encourage voting more &lt;em&gt;on the voter's side&lt;/em&gt; and let reputation gain for others be a result of this, rather than having the system automatically award reputation without even knowing what for, exactly?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2012-09-15T07:27:23.837" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And voting is part of that work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;95% of all visitors to Super User come from a search engine.

It would seem that some highly voted questions and answers like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/231273/what-are-the-windows-a-and-b-drives-used-for&quot;&gt;What are the windows a and b drives used for&lt;/a&gt; that was migrated Jan 10, 2011 had high voted, high up count on comments and answers. Alot of old questions have high votes. Maybe these days those folks that have been around for a while might have been heavy voters back then and not so much now. Some points made to a question I posted &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5573/question-and-suggestion-on-votes-and-rep&quot;&gt;Question and suggestion on votes and Rep&lt;/a&gt; about voteing brought great comentary and insite from slhck: (the links that he had attached did not copy over into this quote)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why aren't posts getting votes?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;While the views are from different IPs, most of them aren't even by&#xA;  registered users or users with the privilege to vote. If—quoting Jeff&#xA;  Atwood—90% of all visitors can't vote on the stuff they see, then this&#xA;  would explain the lack of votes quite easily. And I agree: It's sad to&#xA;  see good questions stick around with 0 votes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Also note that even though new users can participate, you need at&#xA;  least 15 reputation to vote up posts (and consequently 125 for voting&#xA;  down). This is primarily to allow users to get to know the system's&#xA;  currency first before spamming everyone with their votes, bringing&#xA;  down the value of votes and reputation to zero.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why don't we have to have a lot of votes?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We use voting as a primary means of selecting between good and bad&#xA;  posts, and if a question turns out to be neither (i.e. not&#xA;  particularly interesting or well-asked), then it might just get no&#xA;  votes at all. And if it only manages to get a few views, then I don't&#xA;  see why the poster should gain reputation for that — there's not much&#xA;  of an achievement there. Maybe the question just had a bad title that&#xA;  prevented people from viewing it at all? Or maybe it really was not&#xA;  useful and much too localized.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;While this sounds a bit harsh, think about the fact that there are pop&#xA;  ups and reminders everywhere which ask users to vote more on questions&#xA;  if they haven't done so in a while. Voting on questions is even more&#xA;  encouraged by the fact that downvotes don't cost you 1 rep as the&#xA;  voter. And you can vote for 10 more questions than answers per day.&#xA;  So, if a new user happens to ask a good question, they'll get votes&#xA;  quite easily.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Popular ≠ Good&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Another aspect you should take into account is the fact that there's&#xA;  an inequality between easy and popular questions and those that are&#xA;  not as easy to find for others but still excellent questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Bike shed questions would get an additional boost of reputation for&#xA;  views just because of their popularity, without the need to be a&#xA;  particularly good question in the first place (&quot;Good&quot; in the sense of&#xA;  the criteria we ask, not in the sense of &quot;Good question! I always&#xA;  asked this myself but never bothered to do principal research&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;While we try to shut these questions down pretty early, that's still&#xA;  something you might want to think about when suggesting such a&#xA;  feature. How would popularity play a role in this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;That all being said, I think your suggestion has merit, but you will&#xA;  have to take all these factors into account. Also, why not actively&#xA;  encourage voting more on the voter's side and let reputation gain for&#xA;  others be a result of this, rather than having the system&#xA;  automatically award reputation without even knowing what for, exactly?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there an assumed guide line that (at least) questions must be of a certain calibur, quality or some other noteable something or other to earn a vote (again, focus to question, not answer)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can understand reservations on voting up answers if there is an unfimiliarity or it's not a great answer and that is understandable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="150754" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:06.730" LastActivityDate="2012-09-18T04:19:32.957" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As a result, many hardware companies (Acer, HP, etc) succumbed to pressure from those (Francophone) federal governments to only sell laptops with Canadian-French keyboards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For those not in the know, the CF keyboard has been changed to make room for some French characters. The end result is &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/282339/how-do-i-map-a-key-into-the-shift-key-in-windows-see-picture-of-canadian-frenc&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, with half-width Ctrl and Shift keys and a vertical Enter key. For the 2/3 of Canada that is English, this is highly frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Today, if you visit BestBuy or Costco or ?, the odds are extremely high that you will not be able to purchase a laptop with a normal English keyboard. In fact, today I was shopping online with BestBuy for a &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/QFPxDI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;laptop&lt;/a&gt; where the photos clearly show the keyboard layout to be English-only. However, both online and at the store this laptop comes only with CF keyboard. False advertising?

So how does one actually purchase an Acer laptop with a normal keyboard in Canada?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I asked &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/477673/source-acer-laptop-without-canadian-keyboard&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; on SU and was frogmarched off the playing field.

Note the focus on the word &amp;quot;learn&amp;quot;, which means that an answer should not only be about giving the actual solution but also about learning how the solution was obtained.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These ain't just my idea, but is &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;actually&lt;/a&gt; by the founder of the Stack Exchange network; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Atwood&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Jeff Atwood&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I had to summarize our network in a single word, &lt;strong&gt;that word is “learning”&lt;/strong&gt;. People come to our sites to learn about topics they are passionate about. As the old Chinese proverb goes, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Every question and answer ultimately should be about teaching and learning — ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hence, &lt;strong&gt;sloppy answers are not encouraged here&lt;/strong&gt;. They might fit well as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9731/fastest-gun-in-the-west-problem&quot;&gt;FGITW&lt;/a&gt; where you feel like you want to be first first and then improve your answer, but they should in no way be the final version of the answer. And even then, it's probably not a good idea to post a one-liner first. Being the first isn't about being the fastest, it's about being the most efficient. We don't want those fast people to post one-liners, and hence that automatic conversion system is in place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's put this to the test, I'll put up a simple question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&lt;/strong&gt; A virus has removed vital network services related registry keys, I removed the virus but I still can't internet. What can I do to get back on the internet?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh, that's simple...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sloppy answer:&lt;/strong&gt; Put back a restore point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's extremely short and feels more like a comment for the author than a well written answer aimed at a wide audience. People usually search a lot; so, the least that helps is an answer that requires them to do even more searching, it drives them away.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's suppose it were an actual answer, someone could ask:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comment from question asker on the sloppy answer:&lt;/strong&gt; How do I do that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then the answerer ends up explaining that in the comments, while it should have been in the answer in the first place. A lot of time is wasted (and interruptions are introduced) by hiding information / details / background from the answer. Most of them are trivial to provide and help a lot of people from having to research basic things, either by &lt;em&gt;even more&lt;/em&gt; Googling or asking it through comments. This time waste and noise could have been prevented:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proper answer:&lt;/strong&gt; You can put back an earlier restore point, which normally still contains the registry keys of the network services as well as their configuration. Be sure to put back a restore point from before the virus took action, such that you don't accidentally put back the virus!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up the Start Menu and right-click on “Computer”, and then select “Properties”.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click on the “System Protection” link at the left side.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select the “System Protection” tab to get to the System Restore section.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click the “System Restore” button, select a point and follow the instructions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will reboot your system and after that networking should work again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Quite a difference, not really that much harder to type, don't you think so?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The same for my meta answer, what if I only had typed half of a paragraph?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9666" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-09-22T01:13:50.703" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On yet another day of Googling &quot;quick questions&quot; I didn't know how to answer, I found SO and realized what a helpful resource a well-organized, well-moderated site with logical, consistent, comprehensive style and content rules &lt;strong&gt;which are being followed&lt;/strong&gt; is. I don't really see it as a community in the social sense, I consider it more of a public medium for enthusiasts to share knowledge with each other.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I come here when I have a question, and I want it to be answered with, for lack of a better word, minimal bullshit. No advertisements from a company trying to sell a cheap knockoff of an open source program for $39.99, no crazy forum trolls with an axe to grind spinning yarns about god knows what, no incomprehensible babble that's barely even English, just sane, rational, level-headed advice from sane and rational people. Importantly, &lt;em&gt;consistently&lt;/em&gt; sane advice from &lt;em&gt;consistently&lt;/em&gt; sane people.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I want cute nerd humor, I go to my RSS reader and dive in my humor feeds, or hop over to my favorite techie hangout forums. Nerd humor isn't hard to find. What would be annoying, though, is if half the time I excitedly clicked on an SO result from my search I found, to my disappointment, that it was only a cheeky joke and there's no actual solution to my problem (which I've probably wrestled with for hours, exhausting my patience). This would very quickly move SE sites to my mental blacklist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The SE sites provide a very valuable, much-needed service (sober, quality, reliable Q&amp;amp;A) and do so very well. I don't see the point of branching off into an oversaturated market (nerd humor), and I while there's the occasional gem, I don't think the SO community consistently produces exceptional humor (and besides, we can agree on what is a good solution to a problem, but how can we agree what is funny and whose taste is right?). There may be such a thing as wisdom of the crowds, but I find the notion of a &quot;sense of humor of the crowds&quot; to be... Well, humorous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Speaking of bad humor, the example is both a terrible answer (exactly the kind I hope to escape by coming here!) and not very good humor (I didn't laugh, I didn't smile, I finished reading and realized he forgot to add a punchline to his attempt at a joke, and regretted the time I spent reading it). The question clearly asks for a comparison of &lt;em&gt;digital media&lt;/em&gt;, which certainly does not include stone tablets. It even goes on to list the particular digital media that the asker is interested in. Imagine that after much frustrated searching and tinkering, you asked (or found on google) a question about whether you should use a Windows or Linux as your development platform given your specific need, then I walked in and suggested MacOS or Symbian or something else ridiculous. It would feel like a slap on the face and waste everyone's time; worse, it would dilute the primary usefulness of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And if you agree that humor should not be encouraged, you also should agree that it's very important for it to be &lt;em&gt;discouraged&lt;/em&gt;. The reason is this: It is a lot less work to come up with wisecracks than to solve problems, even when the &quot;solution&quot; is writing down something you know, because you must think carefully about how to express your knowledge, whereas humorous quips &quot;come to you&quot; in a moment. Moreover, most people don't know the solution so are not qualified to try and answer it, but practically everyone can make a -good or bad- witty remark. People will also tend to judge solutions on their merits, while there always seems to arise a large crowd who thinks the &quot;vote up&quot; button means &quot;lol tru dat mate haha&quot;. All of this combines to make it very easy, once it becomes common place, for humor to overwhelm genuine contributions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="118578" LastEditorUserId="118578" LastEditDate="2012-09-25T08:15:04.147" LastActivityDate="2012-09-25T08:15:04.147" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here's the last comment I left:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I think there's a huge difference though in the way reopening &quot;just works&quot; on SO, due to the large traffic and the number of users with the necessary privilege. They will probably &quot;just see&quot; a fixed question without needing the OP to intervene. On SU, however, very few questions are reopened once they're closed – even if they're bumped to the front page –, and in many cases, a moderator has to step in to review. In these cases, they'll just stick around closed forever &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I agree with you that the reopening process could be described in a much clearer way rather than just saying that &quot;questions can be reopened when people vote to reopen&quot; (…).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2012-09-25T19:46:06.003" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Anyway, the interesting part are the common pitfalls for new users (especially those who migrated from Windows).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you understand shell expansion perfectly, it's clear why commands like&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;tar xf ball.tar *&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;unzip *.zip&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;won't work, and that it is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; necessary to resort to some combination of &lt;code&gt;find&lt;/code&gt;/&lt;code&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;xargs&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would either make a small number of specific questions (e.g., &lt;em&gt;How to unzip all archives in a directory without using pipes?&lt;/em&gt;) or a single blog post (e.g., &lt;em&gt;Common pitfalls of shell expansion.&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;h3&gt;PCRE: How to &quot;Find and Replace&quot; N times without performing N &quot;Find and Replace&quot;s?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This seems to be a popular topic, and there are already three questions about it:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/211011&quot;&gt;Find and Replace several several different values all at once&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/445534&quot;&gt;How replace many words with other many words in Notepad++?

How to replace different characters with corresponding letters at once?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first question has an accepted answer saying it isn't possible (which is correct for non-PC RE) and offers a solution based on a single &lt;code&gt;sed&lt;/code&gt; command (that nevertheless uses N different &quot;Find and Replace&quot;s). It also asks specifically how to replace two text strings with two other text stings at once, which is much more specific.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second question is a little more general (although it was closed as a duplicate of the first one), since it asks about the new Notepad++ (PCRE), and it doesn't require to perform only a single &quot;Find and Replace&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The third question is more specific than the second one, since it only asks about replacing single characters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/459575&quot;&gt;I have answered the third question&lt;/a&gt;, and I though of a way to adapt my solution so N RegEx patterns can be replaced by N different RegEx patterns, performing only two &quot;Find and Replace&quot;s.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think this could be quite useful in some situations (lowercasing words in all caps, uppercasing i's, remvoving whitespace before punctuation, etc.), but a new question would be a border-line duplicate.

Figuring out the main pro (more speed) and con (less space) probably is easy and makes sense, pros and cons beyond the obvious ones are more likely open to debate. Take for instance Moab's comment &amp;quot;Biggest con is data recovery&amp;quot; — but what if someone then comes up with &amp;quot;Biggest pro is that it's less breakable&amp;quot;?

Questions where there's no requirement for one correct answer inspire anyone to post their own opinion or subjective statements. If your question does not have one correct answer – or multiple ways to solve the problem you face – then it's truly not constructive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that sense, it doesn't matter whether it's  closed fast or slowly.

I believe the reason it was suggested as a duplicate was:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;[…] It'd probably be easier to just rig up a system-wide toggle for ALL hidden/system files and just use it as needed, vs. trying to hide files with a specific filename — &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/487711/how-to-hide-desktop-ini-files-without-hiding-other-hidden-files-folders#comment579608_487711&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;techie007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, an assumption was made about the possible solution to your problem, which led to the duplicate.

I tried to put the VM file on a different hard disk to the VMPlayer install folder which caused problems during windows 8 setup so I recommend you stick to the defaults if you can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y1CpD.png&quot;

alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now we're into the normal windows 8 setup process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You don't get a choice of install language, but you can set the time/currency format and keyboard or input method as appropriate:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/F5vNN.png&quot;

If so, click &lt;kbd&gt;Install Tools&lt;/kbd&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z5984.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you do this before you log into windows it'll give you the message as above and will wait until we've installed windows before installing the tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, back to the windows installation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NMQaY.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We want a custom install, since in the VM there are no files etc. to keep.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Click &quot;Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The message below is the error I got when creating the VM file on another hard disk, so if you don't get that then good!

As was the case with Windows 7, this version of Windows has been available for testing (free of charge) for the last few months. Because of this, a very large number of users have already had the opportunity to experiment with Windows 8 and therefore you will find a wide variety of blog articles describing the new changes in detail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When OS X Lion was released, our friends over at Apple.SE created a question &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/17759/what-tiny-thing-in-lion-makes-you-smile-or-has-caught-you-off-guard&quot;&gt;What tiny thing in Lion makes you smile or has caught you off guard?&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;. The idea behind the question was to highlight an overlooked or little-known feature in the new operating system. The tips below certainly don't describe undocumented or &amp;quot;hidden&amp;quot; features - but hopefully they make your experience just that much more enjoyable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tip 1: Right-click the Taskbar&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;I've found it to be a bit of a chore to get at certain administrative utilities through the Metro interface and even the Control Panel. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I can access some of them simply by right-clicking the area at the far left of the taskbar.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/BgAAI.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/BgAAI.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/files/2012/10/tip1.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;superuser.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, the menu contains entries for launching an administrative command prompt (which I frequently use), getting at the Device Manager, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tip 2: Directly Mount ISO Files&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It gets even better - not only are ISO files supported, but VHD disk images are as well. VHD files are typically used by virtualization tools, such as Microsoft's own VirtualPC and VirtualBox. The ability to open an image without booting up a large virtual machine is invaluable. Simply right click an image file and click &amp;quot;Mount&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/SLWZB.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/SLWZB.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/files/2012/10/tip2.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;superuser.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tip 3: Get a Bird's-Eye View&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;If you are using a desktop computer and finding it difficult to navigate the Metro interface because you have so many applications installed, then this tip is for you. After pressing the Windows key, hold down the control key and roll the scroll wheel on your mouse.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NSTdK.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NSTdK.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/files/2012/10/tip3.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;superuser.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will &amp;quot;zoom-out&amp;quot; and give you a much broader view of the icons and applications that are listed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tip 4: Refresh Your PC&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;Windows 8 is capable of reinstalling itself while leaving your personal files intact, which can be very helpful if you want a clean start without the regular hassle that accompanies a complete reinstallation. You can get at this tool by launching the Metro interface, typing &quot;refresh&quot;, and clicking Settings.&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uVxls.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uVxls.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/files/2012/10/tip4.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;superuser.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, you can even take a &amp;quot;snapshot&amp;quot; of your computer's current state (including drivers, applications, and settings) and have Refresh use that snapshot when it performs the reinstallation. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.anotherwindowsblog.com/2012/09/baseline-image-for-windows-refresh.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;This article&lt;/a&gt; details that process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Tip 5: Keep an Eye on Resources&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;Have you ever noticed the hard drive access LED stay lit for a long period of time and wonder what was going on?

Whenever you shut down your PC, Windows 8 creates a file called &lt;code&gt;hiberfile.sys&lt;/code&gt; that contains the Windows 8 kernel. When you start your PC again, it just reads that file from the drive and puts it in the memory. This allows your PC to start much faster than loading all the drivers, services, etc. again. It gets even faster still if you install Windows on a solid state drive instead of a regular hard drive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, there are some downsides to the feature as well: it can break WOL (Wake on LAN) functionality, and sometimes programs that need to restart your computer won't realize that you've done so. Here's how you can disable the feature if you need to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Press the &lt;kbd&gt;Win + W&lt;/kbd&gt; key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Type &lt;code&gt;change power buttons&lt;/code&gt; and press &lt;kbd&gt;Enter&lt;/kbd&gt;.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/lfgah.png&quot; alt=&quot;S2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click &lt;code&gt;Change settings that are currently unavailable&lt;/code&gt;.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/UP2eO.png&quot; alt=&quot;S3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Uncheck &lt;code&gt;Turn on fast startup&lt;/code&gt;.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ENTFZ.png&quot; alt=&quot;S4&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's it.

You solved my problem.&quot; (sorry, no checkmark for you.)  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or, a Question with plenty of answers, good answers with many upvotes, and comments from other users indicating the answer solved the same problem for them, AND where the OP hasn't accepted an answer and hasn't commented or updated their question for over 6 months or 1 year. Of course, in this case, the  answer just might not have worked for the OP, but that doesn't mean the question hasn't been sufficiently answered given the details and feedback provided.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, while it very true that these types of &quot;Unanswered&quot; questions clutter up the 'Unanswered list&quot; for people looking to &lt;strong&gt;Answer&lt;/strong&gt; questions, it is also seriously cluttered up for people &lt;strong&gt;Looking for an answer&lt;/strong&gt; to their question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I am looking/searching for an answer to solve a problem I am having, and I find 50 or 100 results including 10 questions with Accepted answers, I can look at those with accepted answers first. I may not find an answer that solves my problem, but it will be a good place to start.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, I am left to:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wander through all the questions to see if I can find some glimmer &#xA;of information that might help me.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Re-ask the (same) question hoping someone will be able to answer &#xA;it for me.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Leave the site and go elsewhere to find an answer.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My next point, is that it seems to me that questions can me classified as:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resolved:&lt;/strong&gt; A question with at least one answer, and the asker has accepted an answer.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answered:&lt;/strong&gt; An &quot;Un-Resolved&quot; question with at least one answer, with one or more answers &#xA;meeting a threshold of upvotes, and the question meets an &quot;age&quot; threshold (at least &quot;n&quot; days old).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unanswered:&lt;/strong&gt; A question with no answers, or some answers but fails to meet the thresholds of &quot;Answered&quot; or &quot;Resolved&quot;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abandoned:&lt;/strong&gt; A question with insufficient &quot;good&quot; (upvoted) answers, and with no input from the OP within a time threshold.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Closed:&lt;/strong&gt; A question that has been closed, I assume usually because it is &quot;Off-topic&quot;, or &quot;Duplicate&quot;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, these are my suggestions for addressing all this...  keeping in mind that I am fairly new to the site and some of these suggestions may already be (partially) implemnted, or can currently be done but in a different way.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the same way that a moderator can close a question for being &quot;Off-topic&quot; or other reasons, allow moderators to review, and where appropriate, mark an Answer as &quot;Accepted by moderator&quot;. This would show an alternate indicator different from the &quot;Accepted&quot; checkmark.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the same way that a question can be closed for vairous reasons by getting a number of &quot;close&quot; votes by users, allow users to review, and where appropriate, vote to mark an Answer as &quot;Accepted by community&quot;. A sufficient number of votes would show an alternate indicator different from the &quot;Accepted&quot; checkmark.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In cases where appropriate, for questions with insufficient &quot;good&quot; (upvoted) answers, and with no input from the OP within a time threshold, allow moderators (and possibly by user vote), to mark a question as &quot;Abandoned&quot;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Optionally, if it seems appropriate, the OP could &quot;dismiss&quot; the &quot;Abandoned&quot; indicator by further participation in the question, and could &quot;dismiss&quot; the &quot;Accepted by moderator&quot; or &quot;Accepted by community&quot; or &quot;Abandoned&quot; indicators if they felt the answer was actually insufficient for them.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For those that think the current view for &quot;Unanswered&quot; questions is fine as it is, the &quot;Unanswered&quot; questions view would remain the same.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Implement a way to &quot;filter&quot; the view of &quot;Unanswered&quot; questions by:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Exclude &quot;Abandoned&quot; questions.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Exclude &quot;Resolved&quot; questions. Exclude questions with an answer accepted by OP.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Exclude &quot;Answered&quot; questions. Exclude &quot;Resolved&quot; questions and &quot;old&quot; questions with no &quot;good&quot; (by upvotes) answers. (Show questions with no answers regardless of age, and answered questions (not-accepted) depending on upvote/age threshold).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Show &quot;Accepted by moderator&quot; or &quot;Accepted by community&quot; indicators.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Exclude questions &quot;Accepted by moderator&quot; or &quot;Accepted by community&quot;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cleaning up the &quot;Unanswered list&quot; is not only about making it easier for people to find questions they can provide answers for, it's also, in a significant way, about making acceptable answers (even though not &quot;Accepted&quot;) easier to find.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144147" LastActivityDate="2012-10-28T20:45:20.983" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As well as Windows Explorer getting a Ribbon overhaul, an improved task manager and an even more sad BSOD. But most of those are just to make it more shiny (although they are underlying reasons as well, because they haven't developed &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RunTime&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;WinRT&lt;/a&gt; to be shiny), let's take a look at what else did they did to improve Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6643N.png&quot; alt=&quot;Windows 8 Start Screen&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Getting into your session faster and more secure&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)&lt;/a&gt; has been there for years and its time for it to move on; to help with that Windows 8 leverages the use of &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/7zIj1.png&quot; height=&quot;20&quot;&gt; Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)&lt;/a&gt;, which has been redesigned form the ground up to get rid of all the dust (workarounds, bugs, inefficiency) that came along with BIOS which makes it a lot faster as it does just what it needs to do, &lt;em&gt;boot fast&lt;/em&gt;. Besides allowing you to boot faster it also allows you to boot more secure, using the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Secure_boot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Secure Boot&lt;/a&gt; feature which can lock out both people and rootkits from tampering with the boot. Although you might want to think twice before enabling it as you don't want to lock yourself out...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Optimizing one part of the boot is not efficient, this is why people working on optimizing the boot of a system look at the different parts of it. The longest part of the boot has been system initialization for quite a while, this is why they have decided to &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/b8/delivering-fast-boot-times-in-windows-8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;deliver faster boot times by &lt;em&gt;hibernating&lt;/em&gt; the kernel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/7Evp9.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see, this introduces a huge difference in boot time, almost the half of it in total. Hibernating the kernel shouldn't be confused with hibernating the whole computer, they attempt to just hibernate what's necessary for a boot such that they don't have to load in everything again but can instead load in a hibernated state of what's necessary to run your session. This is done using a Hiberfile after which they only have to reinitialize the drivers before going into your user session.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Getting even more secure&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Efforts have been made to make Windows 8 &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&amp;amp;q=cache:PcPQEzFoplYJ:https://media.blackhat.com/bh-us-12/Briefings/Valasek/BH_US_12_Valasek_Windows_8_Heap_Internals_Slides.pdf+&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;pid=bl&amp;amp;srcid=ADGEESjuvomtFPVKOTc6yg8c38YvO3SxO_7j1g_cpKhqLm8X6jnD-9fktJeNDqsQegQaDzQ1w_KR3KRNZH1_dHQpa_vtd-D_Q8UMA_Cz-QN45x_cA-3A9lJUo6x_QaamDy5cw1AZKSFF&amp;amp;sig=AHIEtbTJelrEMcKTN5i_k0kwaMN_MgLAyw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;more secure&lt;/a&gt; against viruses, rootkits and more; a result of this is that a lot of viruses that targetted earlier versions of Windows have a high chance of not working on Windows 8 (and especially not on 64 bit editions). Besides that, they have introduced different ways to login (PIN / Picture), antivirus capabilities to Windows Defender and SmartScreen filtering integrated into the desktop; as well as the Secure Boot I mentioned and Family Safety.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Might something tamper with your computer then you can use the new &amp;quot;Refresh&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Reset&amp;quot; functionality that Windows 8 brings, for people whose System Restore isn't usable:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Refresh&lt;/strong&gt;: Refreshes the OS but leaves all your files and settings untouched.

There are some obstacles to overcome, but the most difficult part was because I was on an HP laptop, where the Radeon Mobility drivers are supported (poorly) by HP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even though it has not been smooth sailing, it appears that the actual upgrade can be executed by the average user. Obstacles specific to more difficult computer systems/networks can be surmounted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Naturally, though there is an in-place upgrade path which can keep existing applications, I was worried - what if an important application is incompatible? Like many other people, I have no backup of my computer, and it is an important tool for my studies. So I asked Super User, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/493643/how-to-backup-windows-7-and-revert-upgrade-to-windows-8&quot;&gt;how I can back up Windows 7&lt;/a&gt;, so that I could easily restore it if the upgrade proves unusable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is important to point out that using &lt;strong&gt;Windows Backup&lt;/strong&gt; may not have been appropriate, since it depends on Windows 7 to restore the backup. Naturally, the ideal solution is to create an image of the existing system. Suggestions included 3rd party utilities such as &lt;strong&gt;Disk2vhd&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Clonezilla&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Macrium Reflect Free&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as the built-in option to create a system image. In the end, I decided to go with the built-in option because:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;it was easier to see how to restore the image, rather than just browsing the contents (I needed to make sure I could return to a working state for my studies)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;even though a 3rd party application might have better compression (free), I noticed that, for example you must pay to be able to use the &lt;strong&gt;Recovery from Windows boot menu&lt;/strong&gt; option for &lt;strong&gt;Macrium Reflect&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Creating a system image backup&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Backing up the computer was easy, though it took 10 hours! To do this, we just select &lt;strong&gt;Back up your computer&lt;/strong&gt; from the control panel, then &lt;strong&gt;Create a system image&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/HX5v4.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Uz05x.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then select the disk in which to save the image. I was able to find the 1/2 TB needed on my trusty 2TB drive. As you can see, the system image includes your main drive, the recovery drive, as well as the system partition.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/t75No.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;10 hours later...&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/wtdFi.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also opted to create a system repair disc, since I have never done this, just in case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/zRQtq.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Recover from a system image&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To test that my system image was working, went through the initial stages of the restore process. This is accessed from &lt;strong&gt;Recover system settings or your computer&lt;/strong&gt;, in the backup control panel, then &lt;strong&gt;Advanced recovery methods&lt;/strong&gt;. Skipping another backup prompt, the computer restarts in preparation for the restore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZZyY1.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After booting into System Recovery, you can then select the disk where the system image is located. I could clearly see that the image appeared to be working. So I cancelled the recovery, since I only wanted to briefly check that it was there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Nl31x.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Upgrading to Windows 8&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The actual upgrade was not too difficult, but took a while. Updating was quick and simple. After that, the product key is also easy to enter, accepting the agreement. Then I choose to keep everything - user files, settings and &lt;strong&gt;applications&lt;/strong&gt;. This means that I can be up and running with Windows 8 much faster, without having the re-install the many applications I use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/EmTE7.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, that choice led to me being stuck on this screen, and wondering what was wrong. The minutes ticked by, and I began to think it had stopped working. It didn't help that the process didn't take much CPU (according to the task manager). After checking on the internet, and finding somebody was stuck on this screen for 2 hours, I settled down to wait for the long haul. Microsoft, this is just not acceptable. Whenever something is going to take a while, it is only courteous to display a progress bar and/or show some sign of activity (such as the current application being checked in this case).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/om5Rm.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;1 hour later...&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, I got a report on the applications which would need to be uninstalled. Since they didn't seem important, I quickly uninstalled these, and restarted my computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/1cYwn.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After restarting, you need to log in again before it prompts you to continue with the upgrade.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/tZ9uy.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After continuing, you get hours of waiting, which sometimes displayed the progress for part of the upgrade, but other times, only provided a spinning animation, which in my opinion, is insufficient feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/leeL2.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;3 hours later...&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Eventually, you can personalize and setup your Microsoft account, after which it installs some apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/SPZb4.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It doesn't take too long, before lo and behold, it's done, and displays the start screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hYCHM.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Picking up the pieces&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I immediately wanted to know which applications still work, and which do not. I got messages for which applications no longer work:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;ATI Catalyst Install Manager&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;MagicISO&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Bullzip PDF printer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;EAGLE CAD&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Removing MagicISO, I also had to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/497429/option-to-mount-iso-in-windows-8-missing&quot;&gt;change the filetype association before mounting works&lt;/a&gt; in Windows 8. Further checks show that most programs were unaffected. Oracle VM VirtualBox, Cygwin, AVR Studio 5 continue to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without the graphics card update (Catalyst), I found it using the integrated Intel graphics card instead of the Radeon M5650 on my laptop. There is an error message when checking the Device Manager. So I try getting the graphics card drivers to update (&lt;strong&gt;Device Manager &gt; Display Adapters &gt; AMD Radeon HD &gt; Update Driver Software&lt;/strong&gt;), but the driver installed doesn't work with the graphics card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/BopYt.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After going through a forum thread, it appears that HP has not sorted out new device drivers for Windows 8 yet! The lack of support is shocking, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video-e-g/Windows-8-drivers-for-HP-notebooks-with-switchable-graphics/td-p/1773247&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;attracts numerous disgruntled remarks, including vows not to buy HP in the future&lt;/a&gt;, but it appears that it is possible to &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-software-forum/486908-drivers-hp-dv6-3xxx-dv7-4xxx-envy-17-1xxx-intel.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;install the current reference driver provided by AMD, download and install it on top of the HP release. This is done so that the switchable graphics feature can continue to operate properly&lt;/a&gt;. Thus, since I already had the HP release (for Windows 7) installed, I downloaded and installed the appropriate &lt;a href=&quot;http://www2.ati.com/Drivers/mobile/12-10_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql_net4.exe&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Catalyst 12.10 reference release&lt;/a&gt;. After installation, the graphics card starts working. However, I notice that this causes the computer to think that there are two monitors, and therefore two desktops (one of which I cannot see). Re-installation of the drivers does not appear to fix this. Instead, in display settings, I selected &lt;strong&gt;Multiple Displays: Show desktop only on 1&lt;/strong&gt;. This worked for a day or two, but it was unstable, and the display did not turn on after turning off (from inactivity), unless the computer was put to sleep and re-woken. Then, the discrete graphics card generated an error, and was automatically disabled. Given the problems, I decided to wait a few weeks and re-evaluate (if no official driver is released), whether I should install an unofficial driver (eg. &lt;a href=&quot;http://leshcatlabs.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Leshcat&lt;/a&gt;, though I have not confirmed if it supports switchable graphics with a Generation 1 Intel graphics card), or if I should use an official driver for the discrete graphics card in fixed mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, just when I thought I had sorted everything out, I was hit with another problem. At university, I was unable to connect to wi-fi. Confused, I checked my phone (because service is sometimes intermittent), which had no problems. IT support told me that it was not working on Windows 8 - and with a little research, I found that Cisco has a bug in their drivers triggered by a new feature in the Windows 8 drivers. Because the fix is still beta, and it could take a while before the updated drivers are installed. One possible solution is to downgrade to a pre-Windows 8 driver, but it seemed difficult to manage. I decided to try tethering and connect to wi-fi through my LG P500 Android. My experience here was frustrating - almost as much as with the graphics card. Numerous ways to tether failed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;built-in tethering - only works with mobile data (does not work with wi-fi)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;PdaNet USB tethering - No internet detected by computer, using mass storage mode (only one available) instead of charge only mode&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;FoxFi over bluetooth - phone does not support PC connection, only sending and receiving files&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;FoxFi over wi-fi - phone cannot act as both access point and client at the same time&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I found EasyTether worked over USB, on my home wi-fi, but it did not work at university. Perhaps the university network prevents sharing of the wi-fi signal due to some other reason. Eventually, I just used my university's unsecured guest wi-fi, and logged in through the web browser to access the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Evaluation of upgrade experience&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Overall, upgrading takes a while, the in-place upgrade to Windows 8 makes it very convenient, because I don't have to re-install all my applications - possibly the largest barrier to upgrading, and most applications are unaffected. Therefore, I would highly recommend that users consider using this convenient upgrade path.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most frustrating part - the lack of official HP graphics card support for Windows 8, but this problem is specific to laptops with OEM graphics card drivers (if you do, check if your manufacturer has released drivers for Windows 8).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have not yet tried to update the other non-working applications to see if they work on Windows 8, mainly because I don't need them - at least not soon, and there are substitutes if they don't work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before upgrading, users should consider whether their wi-fi access point supports Windows 8, especially if they have no control over their access point (even Cisco routers can fall back to TKIP), or wait until there is support for Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="168055" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.573" LastActivityDate="2012-11-09T05:59:55.423" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While Super User's topics are probably more diverse due to Windows and OS X questions, we have tens of thousands questions for Linux, Ubuntu, Bash et cetera. People wouldn't ask here if this site wasn't a good fit for these questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Especially so that all Unix/Linux related questions can be assembled on one single website, making it easier for people to search for answers too&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They could be, but you forget that these are all communities. If one spends a little time on these sites, they'll see that the communities are different from each other in so many other ways. It also depends on what kinds of questions are considered on-topic or not. For example, U&amp;amp;L &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/73/are-history-questions-on-topic&quot;&gt;might welcome historical questions&lt;/a&gt; that aren't based on an actual problem more than we do. On the other hand, if you know the users here, &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll quote DMA57361♦ from &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/2645/48078&quot;&gt;the question you linked to&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The sites have different community spirits and different community goals, so it's important that if a user attempts to interact with one of these communities that we don't push them away. So if someone has made the effort to ask a valid question on SU, we will not automatically shunt it to another site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, regarding that, we're very well aware of the scope overlap—and this is something that sometimes confuses me as well from time to time—but then again, you're free to ask wherever you feel like. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Currently, if I have an issue, I could find the answer on either Unix/Linux or SU.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes. One might argue though that when you're using web search you'll land on either site anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Stack Exchange search could definitely be improved a little to either work across sites or pull in more relevant results from other sites as well, but if you're really looking to solve an issue you would probably extend your search to the whole web anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, I don't think we need to redefine scope other than what the FAQs of both sites say.

But usually, it doesn't, because this is what we do all day and, honestly, we're pretty good at it even if you would say otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then there's the other case where the OP believes the question they posted is so special and specific that it is, in fact, not a dupe at all and deserves to have its own question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just like a mod can make a false assumption about question duplication, users can as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you ask &quot;Does Windows 8 contain an anti-virus or anti-malware solution?&quot; and you believe this is a different question from &quot;Do I &lt;strong&gt;need&lt;/strong&gt; an anti-virus or anti-malware solution in Windows 8?&quot;, then I might even agree with you. But if the &lt;em&gt;answers&lt;/em&gt; to the latter question implicitly answer &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; question then it's a candidate for closure, because your question will simply gather similar or identical information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With these two questions however, I see no immediate reason to reopen either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/498739/windows-8-turn-on-the-start-button-like-in-the-developer-preview&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/questions/498739/windows-8-turn-on-the-start-button-like-in-the-developer-preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question is about bringing back a feature from a beta version of Windows 8.

Dual booting is neat. You get a metro style page to choose which operating system to run, and overall it's a very smooth process. One massive drawback though. I installed Win8 on D: (7 being on C:), and much to my annoyance, a lot of the registry for Win8 pointed to the incorrect C: drive. This gave problems such as my start menu folder being located on C:, and the libraries pointing to my old Win7 libraries on C:. This inconvenience has led to me reinstalling Win8 on C:, and ditching 7. Overall though, switching from Win7 to 8 was pretty smooth&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/O8hW2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;dual boot ui&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The neat dual-boot UI.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons I left Win7 on their in the first place was in case any vital programs I needed didn't function on Win8. However, as I now know, backwards-compatibility is great; everything works fine on the desktop. (Compatibility is probably only so great because the Win8 desktop environment is almost the same as on Win7.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows 8 could be described as a tablet operating system that lets you launch this traditional desktop environment as if it were an app, and effectively, it is. At one point, I thought I would be using the desktop for everything I did, but actually, you find yourself using Metro apps most of the time. There is a nice multitasker built in for metro apps, but it does have restrictions that become frustrating when using a large monitor: you can only use two apps simultaneously, and they must occupy 1/3 and 2/3 of the space respectively. (You can, of course, do whatever multitasking you like inside the desktop)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/9KKnX.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;multitasking on a tablet&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The multitasking is nice for a tablet, but becomes restricting on a larger screen&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why? Because the metro experience is amazing. Full screen is something that I think is not fully appreciated, but when you use Metro apps, you really love it. Web browsing is lovely without the clutter, games are a lot more immersive without any toolbars, you can see so much in maps without the menus, and so it goes on. The clean style of Metro apps also adds to the overall smooth, clutter-free look.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/YS6BU.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;writing a post of meta in metro&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even writing a post here is so immersive on metro!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Startup and shutdown are also brilliantly quick on Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/f9vav.png&quot; alt=&quot;startup times&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A visual look at startup times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've heard criticism of the new Windows Store (paying for entry to a store targeted mainly at PCs...), but the store has brought a way for applications that we are used to running natively on tablets and smartphones to run natively on PC. You would not be able to play something like 'Cut the Rope' natively on any other desktop platform.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/aOamv.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;cut the rope in the windows store&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Applications we are used to on mobile OSs running natively on Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whilst it is not fully optimised for desktop computers (I think the tablet like start screen means it would work best on touchscreen laptops), Windows 8 is a great new operating system. It's easy to switch, runs everything that runs on 7, and gives you a great new experience in Metro apps such as web browsing and email.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="167983" LastEditorUserId="167983" LastEditDate="2012-11-05T19:13:59.217" LastActivityDate="2012-11-05T19:13:59.217" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Windows 8 changes that in a big way. The Start Menu is gone, and there is no way to bring it back without the use of third-party software that is often quirky and not as well thought through as it could be. The transition to the new operating system can be confusing, but there is one thing you can start doing right now in Windows Vista and Windows 7 to prepare yourself for the changes and help ensure they don't slow you down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows Vista introduced a new search feature to the Start Menu. Open the Start Menu, start typing the name of the program you want to run in the search box at the bottom of the menu, and that item will appear after typically no more than the first 3 or 4 keystrokes. Bonus points if you can learn to do this without ever touching mouse; just hit the Windows Key on your keyboard and start typing, then hit enter when the item you want is at the top of the list. Don't even wait for the menu to show; just treat the Windows Key as another keystroke. In no time, you'll find this workflow is faster and easier than the old browse-the-menu-with-the-mouse scheme you had been using. This feature was carried into Windows 7 as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's the trick: all of that still works in Windows 8. In fact, it works even better because of the way Microsoft handles the new menu: it's faster, and your search will usually have better results. If you don't have a touch screen, this is now, by far, the easiest way to find what you're looking for on the start menu. Unfortunately, most people never learned how to fully use this feature on the older operating systems, and the visual cues that help you discover it are gone on the new Windows 8 operating system. However, if you start practicing this new workflow in Windows 7 or Windows Vista today, you'll find it comes naturally for Windows 8... and I think you'll find the transition to Windows 8 much easier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1304" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-11-05T15:50:37.387" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It periodically (by default every hour) scans the file system for changes and copies changed files to another location. Every time any of your personal files has changed, its copy will be stored on a dedicated, external storage device selected by you. Over time, File History builds a complete history of changes made to any personal file under Libraries.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Backup of personal data is a big headache for the users on Windows.   There are countless solutions on the market, but Windows 8 has a simple file backup built right into the operating system.  Sadly, it isn't on by default, so users need to enable it after they have set up their new computer, or upgraded the existing PC to the new Microsoft operating system.  It’s a simple process, but don't expect a big feature set.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/qhfJM.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is it different from restore point in Windows?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is completely different form it, as in system restore process you can just restore the settings and program but not the files in your profile. And you have to create a restore point manually.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;While File History has scheduled built in function to run it at specific time to backup your folders and data but it will not store your settings and the programs you have installed on your system.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;By default it is turned off you have to turn it on. When you turn it on it need an external storage device as Windows will not perform the backup on the system storage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does it work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;Backup&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;:-&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By default it is turned off so you have to turn it on. Go to the Control panel&amp;gt;File History or just type at the start screen File History under the settings. Before you start using File History to backup your files, you'll need to set up a drive to save files to.  If you don't have connected an external storage device for backup then you will have disabled Turn On button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also set up a drive in AutoPlay by connecting the drive to your PC, tapping or clicking the notification that appears. From that moment, every hour, File History will check your libraries, desktop, favourites and contacts for any changes. If it finds changed files, it will automatically copy them to the File History drive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;:-&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now when you want to restore your files just click on the Restore personal files option in left panel at Home-File History window. You can see the different files of backup by click on next and previous button.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Select the folder you want to restore and then just click on the green button which will start the process of restoration&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/TS02x.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or you can do the following thing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Browse personal libraries, folders and files in a way very similar to Windows Explorer.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Search for specific versions using keywords, file names and date ranges.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Preview versions of a selected file.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Restore a file or a selection of files with one tap or a click of a mouse.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/jJKfY.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Customize Backup&lt;/strong&gt;:-&#xA;If you want to set the time period for when the copy should be auto backup then go to Advanced settings in the left panel at Home-File History window. You can also set for how many days you want to keep the version of the file in the drive, how much offline cache should be used when your backup drive is not available.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Offline cache is actually saving the copies of your backup on your local drive but it will be flushed all when the configured backup drive will be available for backup. You can even clear your all backup or a specific one under &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Settings&lt;/strong&gt; by click on &lt;code&gt;Clean up versions&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nmQT4.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I be certain that all of my files have been backed up successfully?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You have to check it manually in event log under &amp;quot;Advanced Settings&amp;quot;.

File History will be disabled by default and users will not&#xA;be able to turn it on as long as the Windows 7 Backup schedule is&#xA;active. To turn it you will have to first disable the Windows 7 Backup&#xA;schedule.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can Windows 7 users use File History?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Windows 7 users cannot use File History. However, they can restore files from a drive used by&#xA;File History by browsing the volume in the Windows Explorer and&#xA;selecting a specific file. Files on the File History drive are stored&#xA;in the same relative location, and use the same name. The specific&#xA;version can be identified by the time stamp appended to the file name.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does File History protect the operating system and applications?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;File History only protects user libraries, desktop, favourites and&#xA;contacts.

Windows 8 Server offers a backup feature that&#xA;can back up files to a cloud. This feature is available on the Server&#xA;version of Windows and is designed for small and medium businesses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can File History be used by enterprise customers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Yes. However, enterprise customers should be aware that File History may not comply&#xA;with their company security, access, and retention policies. For that&#xA;reason, we offer a group policy setting that allows enterprise&#xA;administrators to disable the feature for an entire organization.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will File History protect files stored on a file share?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;No. File History only protects file stored on a local drive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="86550" LastEditorUserId="442468" LastEditDate="2021-03-07T15:36:41.730" LastActivityDate="2021-03-07T15:36:41.730" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If you had a positive overall score on your post you've been entered into the Windows 8 Contest Blog Tile drawing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But you may be asking yourself, what's the next step?  Well, now we're going to have you port over your blog entry into the blog itself.  Below is a little introduction to the site and suggestions on how to do this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Blog.SuperUser.com/wp-admin&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The above url is the main portal into the site.  From there you can add posts, view comments and all sorts of fun stuff.  Thanks to @RebeccaChernoff the blog now seemlessly integrates with your Stackexchange Account!  This means that once you log into a Stack Exchange site you can log into any blog.  However your default role in the blog is &amp;quot;Subscriber&amp;quot; which means you can only add comments to posts.  We'll have to upgrade you to a &amp;quot;Contributor&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a Contributor you'll be able to upload your blog posts to the site. To request Contributor status, send either me (@Kronos) or @Nhinkle a ping over at &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/356/super-user-blog-editor-room&quot;&gt;Super User Blog Editors Chat&lt;/a&gt; room requesting to be a Contributor.  We'll upgrade your account and you'll be on your merry way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Uploading the post&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the online editor is pretty straight forward.  Navigate to &lt;code&gt;Posts&lt;/code&gt; --&amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;Add New&lt;/code&gt; and you'll be presented to the online editor.  Be sure to save your work:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/kcQiL.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you've finished editing your post and it's to your satisfaction ping either @Nhinkle or I and we'll edit and approve. Also, keep your blog entry status updated on the Trello board for the Blog (We'll add you to the board when you sign up to be a contributor).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;When will my post be live for the World to see?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since the blog is pretty small, we won't be publishing these posts everyday.  We'll be publishing them about a week apart.  That means that potentially your post could be posted 10-12 weeks from now.  I will consider posts first come first serve highest quality.  Meaning that if your post isn't uploaded to the blog, and you haven't indicated that it's ready, I won't publish it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I will also consider higher quality posts over lower one.  This means that you really need to make these shine if you want me to publish them first ;)  If you have questions on this, feel free to ask us over at the chat room.  We will gladly help you as we want all of you to succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;This isn't limited to just contest entrants&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyone can follow these steps and become blog contributors.  If you contribute on a regular basis you'll be given more responsibilities (i.e. editing other peoples content, publishing directly to the site, etc,.).

It can be said that on average I'm going to provide THE answer to any question I answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Imagine for a moment that I knew of a user with the same reputation as mine.  Only, they had answered 318 questions instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I ask, who would you trust more for an answer?  My average score of 16.2, or theirs of 8.1?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now for the &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; hard question.  A users average is 30.4, and their reputation is 1,288.  Would you be more interested in their answers or mine?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My point?  There is an easy way to make sure that someone that contributes to this site is not penalized for providing a bounty, and the community isn't penalized for them doing it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Switch scales for acquired functions after a minimum score is achieved.  What I mean is this.  There is currently a scale that shows how many reputation points you have to have in order to earn the ability to do something.  Once that ability is earned, your AVERAGE is what keeps the ability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An example: I decide to provide a 100 point bounty.  My score would drop to 2,476.  Now I can't create tag synonyms anymore.  This makes me less effective in the community, because I did something to reward someone in the community.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but concluding this from a mere 16 reputation per post seems a little presumptuous.

It's merely a problem of implementation, revamping the whole system, and &lt;em&gt;transparency&lt;/em&gt;. Why would someone with less reputation than you have more privileges? Oh, because they placed a few bounties two years ago? Right, that figures.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I agree that reputation as an absolute value can sometimes be misleading and that using an average would be an interesting figure to base new privileges on, be aware of the fact that the average is even more skewed by the factors I mentioned above – mostly by the number of people who actually see your answer. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We could definitely take that measure into account to identify people who simply post an answer to every question they see and hope to get a few points that way, often spamming the site with low quality posts, but in my opinion it shouldn't be &lt;em&gt;the&lt;/em&gt; new standard to base privileges on.

In a very real sense, reputation is the currency of the SE system and what you're doing is attempting to match a need (an answer) with a want (more rep).

By decouping current rep from what you can do, it's entirely possible that someone who's 20K + could give away a chunk of that rep to bump up people he knows, who then passes it on to another person and so on - all of them would get the privilege bump that rep has, without an actual disincentive. Makes it easy for sockpuppetry one would think. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for which answer to trust - I'd say the one that works.

However, many of these are signs of a bad question or a question in need of other editing, so it would be better to manually review the affected question than silently retag them.&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Some tags that should have been renamed (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/explorer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;explorer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;explorer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/raid-card&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;raid-card&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;raid-card&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/screnshot&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;screnshot&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;screnshot&lt;/a&gt;). No script can guess the right target tag, that would require manual review.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tags that were meaningful and but perhaps overspecific (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/aacs&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;aacs&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;aacs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/medical-records&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;medical-records&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;medical-records&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/jnlp&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;jnlp&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;jnlp&lt;/a&gt;). These tags aren't a huge loss, but they are also not harmful. Furthermore, straight deleting them is wrong: the tag should be replaced by a more general tag.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tags that were definitely useful because they are about a specific program or other technology (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/bbc-micro&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;bbc-micro&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bbc-micro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/wifidog&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;wifidog&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;wifidog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/nethack&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;nethack&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;nethack&lt;/a&gt;) which someone asking a question about the topic would naturally pick.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, the data does not strongly justify removing single-use tags, and shows that their automatic removal causes significant harm.

I think that's pretty clear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All Raspberry Pi questions should be considered on topic. Why? See answer to question (1). Just because a question &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be on-topic elsewhere does not mean that it must necessarily be off-topic here. If the &lt;em&gt;sole&lt;/em&gt; reason for a topic to be off-topic here is because there's a specific community for it elsewhere, it should not be off-topic here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Part of the reason for this is that &lt;em&gt;it is the user's choice&lt;/em&gt; where they want to ask their question, so long as the question is appropriate for that site. If I want to ask a Raspberry Pi question on Super User, I am perfectly within my rights to do so, and I may not want somebody else telling me where to post my question.

A policy of closing R-pi questions on Super User would be illogical, since there is no normal migration path to that site, and if the site does not graduate from beta, those questions would then be effectively gone forever.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2012-12-08T09:18:07.430" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

I ran the following simple query on both Super User and Stack Overflow to see how many users had edit permission (&gt;= 2000 reputation):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;SELECT&#xA;    COUNT(*)&#xA;FROM&#xA;    Users&#xA;WHERE &#xA;    Users.Reputation &amp;gt;= 2000&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which returns 488 for Super User, and 18890 for Stack Overflow.  As a percentage of total users (i.e. commenting out the &lt;code&gt;WHERE&lt;/code&gt; clause in the above query), and repeating the query for Android SE while we're at it, we get:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Super User:     (  488 /  136571) x 100% = 0.357%&#xA;Stack Overflow: (18890 / 1582958) x 100% = 1.193%&#xA;Android SE:     (   32 /   19260) x 100% = 0.166%&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given these numbers, it appears as though Super User has roughly 3.3 times &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; editors as a percentage of all users on the site as compared to Stack Overflow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also thought it would be cool to evaluate the above based on number of questions; so below are two values, the first is total questions + answers divided by users, the second is questions + answers divided by number of users w/ edit permissions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Super User:     (151k + 265k) / 136571 ~= 3.1 Posts/User&#xA;                (151k + 265k) /    488 ~= 852 Posts/User w/ Edit Perms&#xA;&#xA;Stack Overflow: (4.2m + 8m) / 1582958  ~= 7.7 Posts/User&#xA;                (4.2m + 8m) /   18890  ~= 646 Posts/User w/ Edit Perms&#xA;&#xA;Android SE:     (11k + 16k) / 19260    ~= 1.4 Posts/User &#xA;                (11k + 16k) /    32    ~= 844 Posts/User w/ Edit Perms&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus, it looks as though Super User has more posts per user than Android.SE, with a similar number of posts per editors.  However, Super User also has seven times the volume of posts, which is likely a big factor.

If a user wants to find a question/answer using a recursive command line, couldn't he/she just search for the actual &lt;code&gt;-r&lt;/code&gt; flag?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Right now, there are a total of 42 questions tagged recursive.  Also, there's only at most four questions tagged with both &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/recursive&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;recursive&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;recursive&lt;/a&gt; and another particular command-line utility (e.g. 4 questions tagged both &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/recursive&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;recursive&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;recursive&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/ls&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;ls&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;ls&lt;/a&gt;), and it drops off of there.

Also, AFAIK crash dump files &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; contain passwords and other sensitive information that was in RAM at the time of the crash, so I don't think it's a great idea in any case to let just anyone take a look at them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus when the question poster quite rightly chooses not to take up such an offer of help, the dangling &quot;answer&quot; is utterly useless and helps neither the OP nor any future readers who are there since they're facing the same issue.

It links to other FAQs giving very useful advices for users like me between ~100 and ~1000 reputation. I was wondering why nobody forced me to read them earlier. I then asked myself how many ~100-1000 rep users will never see these FAQs. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So why not use the system to bring users and knowledge together - earlier and more efficiently.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm willing to learn but I am also lazy (as everyone is). I'm too lazy to do a search for FAQ or click the FAQ link on the right.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Insert an automation which does something like these quick examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;First Tag Wiki Edit → provide a link &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/69585/205591&quot;&gt;to a corresponding FAQ&lt;/a&gt; and ask a multiple choice question about the FAQ and what the purpose of the tag wiki is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;5th answer → show neat tricks when using 'kbd'+Win-Key-Images, or the advantage of using '&gt;' and 'code' together, or the difference between &quot;``&quot; and 'code'. Every single trick added from advanced users can be used as question. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;10th answer → teach them &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/104231/205591&quot;&gt;how to look for duplicates&lt;/a&gt; so they will do this more often&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;15th answer → teach them &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/8259/205591&quot;&gt;how links have to be used&lt;/a&gt; and edited. That a excerpt is needed and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;10th review → provide a link &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/118694/205591&quot;&gt;to a corresponding FAQ&lt;/a&gt; and ask a multiple choice question. Maybe about when to comment and when to edit.

This is one of the number one rules of scientific writing—or writing in general if you want to keep your readers' attention. If I've learned something here, it's cutting out the irrelevant parts, or &quot;bullshit&quot;, as you call it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But you seem to be confused about two different dimensions, one being &lt;em&gt;concise vs. excessive&lt;/em&gt;, the other being &lt;em&gt;incomplete vs. detailed&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The former is the difference between merely explaining and explaining as well as saying hello, Merry Christmas, linking to your homepage, including a footer with your signature, emoticons, et cetera.

Why not? Many users like to put a TL;DR in front of their posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And if you think a post is missing precisely that, why not include it? There's an &lt;em&gt;edit&lt;/em&gt; button below  the post. For anyone. You don't even have to be signed in. Or, if you're an experienced Stack Exchange member, drop a comment. Ask for clarification or an example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally there are topics that simply cannot be explained in a single line of code. I often found myself looking for solutions to programming problems, and—guess what—the one-liner on Stack Overflow really didn't help much.

Wouldn't someone looking for that also land here, looking for a solution? This is a tough one, although we'd close this as a &quot;shopping&quot; recommendation.

Did your problem occur because you had a typo somewhere? There's no way someone else will have exact the same typo and land in your situation. The same for shopping recommendations: Your individual configuration of hardware makes your question localized to your machine and no one else's.

You were probably just there at the wrong time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First of all, you'll never know &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; someone voted unless you asked them directly, but here are some arguments:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Windows 8 question was… well, about Windows 8. It was brand new at that time, so everybody was interested in why it was allegedly faster than its predecessor. It's not a &lt;em&gt;great&lt;/em&gt; question because the answer could have been found quite easily—and the answer  merely consisting of a large blockquote shows that as well—, but it had this &quot;Hey, I want to know this too!&quot; effect at the right time. There's always a thin line between these kinds of questions in terms of how popular they get.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the Windows 8 question, nobody pointed out the lack of research effort by the OP. From my experience: When you leave down votes and accompany them not only with a comment explaining what's wrong with the post (like you should), but also explicitly write, &quot;-1, …&quot;, others are much more likely to jump on the bandwagon and downvote the post as well, because you just publicly played the first one to throw the stone. Not that this is the case here, but it shows a social effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which brings us to the final point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Meta. If the comments below the discussion end up in a debate about how the answer could have been found by consulting Google, then you can be sure one or the other person down votes your post for the lack of research effort. Well,  because it's there and someone noticed it. People draw away the discussion from the actual post. Which is why I intervened and simply asked the person who pointed you to the blog article to post a proper answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all I wouldn't worry all too much about it. I might clean up the comment thread in a few days from now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the future, I would suggest spending the extra five minutes before asking a question thoroughly looking if it was already answered somewhere. Now, we can't know if you did, but if you write about your research and what it already showed you, this will give you a much better response (both in terms of an actual answer as well as the votes you'll receive). And in many cases you might not even have to ask a question because you found the answer while searching for it, so as not to have someone claim you didn't properly research.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastActivityDate="2013-01-10T07:42:07.237" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Reading sites like &lt;a href=&quot;http://anandtech.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;AnandTech&lt;/a&gt; that strive to explain how the products they review actually work, browsing articles on Wikipedia, reading forums, and so on and so forth, gives me a knowledge base that informs how I use everything electronic. For example, if you know about how wireless cards communicate with each other, and are given numerical addresses like 192.168.1.132 by your router, you'll be able to understand how firewalls and port forwarding work, and eventually be able to try out port forwarding yourself if you run a game server or something. Just &lt;strong&gt;be curious, and recognize that you won't understand everything in a day or a week or a month or a decade.&lt;/strong&gt; The more interested you get, the more crazy things you'll want to try (Ubuntu virtual machine, anyone?), the &lt;strong&gt;more questions you'll ask&lt;/strong&gt;, and the more you'll understand.

For example, if a user was having problems with their keyboard inserting unusual characters, I would think of checking their language options out, since I know that language settings can hijack keyboard input (that answer got me my first SU upvote, iirc, even though I've never used the system the guy had).

Unlike the natural world, where everything in nature is infinitely divisible, computer systems were designed piece by piece by human beings who can only do a limited number of things at a time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In order to become proficient at diagnosing problems, you need to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Learn about &lt;strong&gt;sources of reference information&lt;/strong&gt;, and how to use these sources of information. Most correct use of these reference sources involves understanding the &lt;strong&gt;terminology&lt;/strong&gt; (words) that these references use; once you are using the same words as the reference, you can usually execute a very precise &lt;strong&gt;search&lt;/strong&gt; to get the result you want. Example sources of reference information include Google, MSDN, TechNet, tldp.org, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Learn the skill of how to &lt;strong&gt;break a problem down into smaller, easier sub-problems&lt;/strong&gt;. Most problems that people have can be split up or divided into simpler problems. Now, one amazing fact about computers is that &lt;strong&gt;simpler problems are much more likely to have already been solved by somebody else before&lt;/strong&gt;. The reason is that complex problems are, by their nature, more specialized to a particular situation. A problem involving a very simple set of variables is more likely to have been solved before; you can probably find the answer readily available (or adaptable) from a source of reference information.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Learn the skill of how to &lt;strong&gt;recognize clues&lt;/strong&gt; about what might be wrong. This includes &lt;strong&gt;interpreting error messages&lt;/strong&gt;, trying various configurations (for example, compare the output of the program with and without some environment variable set), &lt;strong&gt;replacing layers in a componentized system&lt;/strong&gt; (for example, try your broken SQL query on another database or a different version), and so on. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Learn the skill of how to &lt;strong&gt;build a mental model of a software &quot;stack&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;. Almost all pieces of software are built on a &quot;stack&quot;, which means that there is software layered on top of software, and it ranges from the &lt;strong&gt;general functionality&lt;/strong&gt; (software infrastructure that supports a very broad range of functionality), to &lt;strong&gt;specific functionality&lt;/strong&gt; (application software that does some specific job for a real-world use case). An iconic example is the networking stack, which ranges from the physical layer, to the link layer, to the protocol layer, to the application layer (and sometimes a few layers in between). Understanding the layering of the software you're trying to learn about or diagnose will help you gain insight into where the problem is.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Remember &lt;strong&gt;everything&lt;/strong&gt;. If you have a poor memory, you are less likely to remember terminology, error messages, software stack designs, reference information, and so on. If your memory is poor, it will take you much longer to solve problems, because you will have to go back to the more basic troubleshooting steps every time, rather than leveraging past experience. You might work with games that test your memory so that you can learn to hold large amounts of data in your mind for long periods of time without losing it. It's either that, or be &lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt; good at searching Google (but even that requires a degree of strong memory skills to input the right search terms).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2013-02-04T21:32:31.477" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

User Diamond made a guess at what the issue was and his answer was accepted. I recently ran into what looked a similar issue and searched around for information about what properties would be lost. I didn't find anything on google but did see this other question. Reading the question and answer I saw that it didn't really answer my question. The accepted answer guessed at why the message was showing but had no information about what properties would actually be removed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I had a couple of options at this point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I could edit the question trying to add more detail and asking for a more detailed answer in the hopes that it would be seen and answered. I considered it unlikely, that even if other superuser users saw the question, they would bother to answer given that it already had an accepted answer. Plus if someone gave a better answer I couldn't change the accepted answer since it wasn't my question the best I could do would be to add one upvote.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I could edit the question and add a bounty. Same issues as the first option given that there was an accepted answer I think less people would try and add info. Also I don't have a ton of rep. I see the bounty system useful if you are a high rep person with tons of rep (of which I am not) or need an answer to a critical question. While I really wanted to know if I was losing anything important with the copy it wasn't critical.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I could create a new question to solicit new and better answers. So I created a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/548221/file-copy-stops-to-ask-about-properties-that-cant-be-copied-to-new-location&quot;&gt;question&lt;/a&gt; and did receive an answer that actually answered the question. With the utility linked in the case I confirmed that a Mac on my network had used the alternative streams feature of NTFS to store extra info which I was fine with losing in the copy. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Shortly afterwards my question was closed as a duplicate. I don't know if duplicates get deleted at some point but if they do it would be a shame as I feel my question actually has the better (and correct) answer. I understand the desire to keep duplicates out of the system but it seems like in my case it was the only way to get a better answer. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Are there other options for getting an better answer to an accepted question/answer?

However, some people might associate voice-commands with speech recognition for text creation - because you command the computer to write. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My argument in favor or merging &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/voice-commands&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;voice-commands&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;voice-commands&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/speech-recognition&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;speech-recognition&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;speech-recognition&lt;/a&gt; is that both categories exist in small numbers, so an overly fine distinction is not warranted.

For example: all the hardware questions, router setup (many &lt;em&gt;concepts&lt;/em&gt; aren't firmware dependent; port forwarding is essentially the same on every router, even though the mechanics of configuring may be a bit different).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tagging these questions with the operating system would make them &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; useful, because it would encourage people to say the exact steps to follow, rather than say what you'd actually be doing. Continuing with port forwarding: which is more useful? &quot;Set up port forwarding&quot;, or &quot;Click this button, then that button, type &lt;code&gt;foo&lt;/code&gt;, save settings&quot;? The former option doesn't make the user look up the exact make of their router, and gives them a guide for how to solve these problems in the future. If they want to know exactly how to set up port forwarding, they can ask a new question, but there's no reason to bring that into play when they want to just set up a game server.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, remember something: The OP often doesn't know the cause of their issue; that's why they have an issue. They might not know if something is OS-dependent or not. If they tag incorrectly, it either restricts the possible audience (someone who knows how to solve the  problem might think it depends on an OS they don't know), or winds up in front of people who have no idea how to handle it (even though the question says it is OS-independent, it isn't).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, the OS-independent tag wouldn't be useful on its own; it'd be more of a meta tag (what would a question look like if the only tag that applies is &quot;OS independent&quot;?). This is discouraged on Stack Exchange sites; tags should work even if there are no other tags on the question. In this case, it'd also take away one of the 5 tags for something completely useless - saying that operating system &lt;em&gt;doesn't&lt;/em&gt; matter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="183377" LastActivityDate="2013-02-20T02:39:52.697" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You should try a few things, poke at your problem a while, and then post a question when you get stuck. Simply saying &amp;quot;It's broken! How do I fix it?&amp;quot; is not helpful for future visitors and almost impossible for community members to answer definitively. There's a lot of other places on the Internet where you can get troubleshooting help. Stack Exchange's Q&amp;amp;A format makes for a poor place to play guess-and-check. (Although we're perfectly happy to place guess-and-check at &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/118/root-access&quot;&gt;Root Access&lt;/a&gt;!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why does Windows (Vista) “AppData” get so large? [closed]&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This falls in to the &lt;code&gt;Not Constructive&lt;/code&gt; category once more. While you do ask a technically valid question, it's not at all helpful. For example, my Evernote happens to use AppData to store the entirety of my notes and attachments on those notes. It's several gigabytes. What goes in the AppData folder depends on the applications one runs, and the data they need to store. Nobody would be able to give you a definitive answer for why AppData gets so large.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really don't like to see SU used a dumping grounds for developers from SO who have computer problems.

I believe the current system of tag description is flawed, in that if the user enters the tags too rapidly, the description of any tag is only shown until they begin typing the next one. I think the way to remedy this would be to have tag descriptions displayed continuously for each tag entered (for new users at least), or a pause when entering certain tags deemed to be problem causing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully this would lack most of the drawbacks of mandatory OS tags, but rather than allowing the user to enter &quot;windows&quot; they would instead be prompted for a version, or allowed to specify that their question refers to all versions (for example a windows software question rather than a specific machine question.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A transitional &quot;windows-unspecified&quot; tag (for editing old posts only) could be useful between &quot;windows&quot; no longer being selectable for new questions, and the old tag being eliminated from old questions.

Downvote and vote to delete.* &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have to remember that we're still a very small site compared to Stack Overflow in terms of reputation. On SO, the number of &gt;20k users is &lt;em&gt;much&lt;/em&gt; higher than here (we have 21, by the way). If you just downvote and vote to delete a non-answer, chances are it'll go unnoticed and then stay around forever. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So please, just flag answers that aren't answers like you did before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this isn't official network-wide policy, I'm fairly sure the other SU mods would agree that we're not drowning in flags from &gt;20k users, and thus will happily handle all your flags for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/4735/when-is-an-answer-eligible-to-be-flagged-as-not-an-answer-what-to-do&quot;&gt;answers that are eligible to be flagged&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want, throw in a vote to delete as well. If the review queues are being visited by 20k users, answers with pending votes for deletion might be prioritized, and the community could handle these things alone. I'm not aware of any example, but I've had &lt;em&gt;Not an answer&lt;/em&gt; flags on posts with two pending delete votes from our higher reputation members.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize, as long as we don't suddenly get a considerable number  of (actively moderating) 20k users who use moderators as proxies for things they could easily handle themselves, there's no problem with the others flagging instead of voting to delete.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, you can of course vote to delete any &lt;em&gt;wrong&lt;/em&gt; answers that technically aren't eligible to be flagged, but might still need to be removed.

We then don't find it odd to add some extra requirements or to slightly change the question to salvage it.

I tend to often just pop on the appropriate channel on chat, and ask very politely about it. This might include things a low rep user (well I am on other sites) can't fix such as REALLY minor annoying spelling mistakes and so on. In short, if you're familiar with the site, there's always ways around low reputation (for good, not evil). If its important, there's always ways to do this. Neither this, nor the other question that's referenced in the comments quite counts as 'urgent'&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, you need &lt;em&gt;5&lt;/em&gt; reputation to post on meta. &lt;em&gt;One&lt;/em&gt; upvote of any sort should do the trick. Post a &lt;em&gt;quality&lt;/em&gt; answer and you can easily get a lot more than that. Ask an &lt;em&gt;awesome&lt;/em&gt; well documented question (or one that people find interesting). Using the site will give you the rep to do what you need.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a sense reputation isn't just how much people on the site values you. Its also a reflection of the involvement you have in and with the site in many cases. Meta access has a trivially low barrier of entry that anyone who even tries will reach - and well, you've reached it yourself now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While there's a certain amount of leeway granted to low rep users, and other users try to help things get shifted to the right place through flagging and other methods, this of course does not mean its fine to ask SU questions on meta, or vice versa. Its &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a good idea to use the main site to post meta questions on the assumption it would be moved - if it isn't an issue of utmost urgency, it can wait till you get that 5 reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10165" LastActivityDate="2013-03-18T14:34:38.803" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This means that moderators get to review edits much more often than regular users, and so they also get more review audits.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If others share my feeling that these tests are coming too often, could we dial their frequency down a notch?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can understand that if you're trying to be an honest reviewer, the feeling of having someone  (or something, in that case) watching your actions seems annoying. I think most of the reviewers would say that they're of course trying to do a good job. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please keep in mind though that – other than through these tests – we have no way of finding out whether someone's really trying to clean up the site, or is just here for the shiny badges. Unfortunately, for these users, tests sometimes don't come often enough. Once they're banned, they leave a trail of unactioned posts behind, many of which should have been reviewed more carefully.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, I'd be not inclined to ask for the number of review tests to be lowered—quite the contrary. If you could see what kind of posts underwent review and simply were dismissed (including obvious spam), you'd be okay with getting tested here and then. I'm sure that these tests aren't the perfect solution to the underlying problem, but they are working pretty well at the moment…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastActivityDate="2013-03-24T10:09:41.270" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They've been closed accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you look at the other examples you linked to, you'll find that the most answers just consist of links to resources. This is a problem. We don't want to build up a list of links.  We want &lt;em&gt;actual answers&lt;/em&gt; here. But those link-only answers are of course just the symptom of the actual issue, which is the question being too broad (e.g., how to learn using an application). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We want actual answers for questions about specific problems someone's facing. Super User is for asking about how to go about doing &lt;em&gt;XYZ&lt;/em&gt; in the application, and not how to learn it from scratch. People should read the documentation, and if they encounter specific problems or need something explained, then they may ask about those here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;My question is about computer software.

Twice, this has been with very low rep users (&amp;lt;20) whose English is very limited but whose native language I happen to speak fluently. I don't want to add comments in a language that is not English since they obviously would not be useful to the community, so chatting would be the perfect solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, users with &amp;lt;20 rep cannot post in chat rooms.

I went into the &lt;code&gt;room&lt;/code&gt; menu of the room I had created and gave the sock puppet user explicit write access to that room:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/YryKC.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then received this warning:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/t8FH6.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, I tested by opening a different browser, logging in as the sock puppet and joining the room in question but I could not post:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/P9nzD.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, if I am doing something wrong and low rep users &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be allowed to post to specific chat rooms, could someone explain how?

There's no specific rule there: if it's easy enough to fix the post, just go ahead and do it. For example, if there was a command with a syntax error, or any other minor thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If however you'd need to rewrite the whole answer to make it correct, and it contains too many incorrect assumptions, then refrain from editing it. That'd be a too radical change and would change the original meaning and intentions.

I sincerely apologize for giving you the wrong feedback and agree that it wasn't really helpful in that case. I just saw a &gt;3k user flagging for a duplicate, and didn't see the need to handle it. That being said, there is absolutely no reason to worry about flag weight or one declined flag. Unless you happen to have 30–50% of your flags declined, it's not even worth being upset over. We're all humans. We all make mistakes. Alright?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The change to the duplicate mechanism also implied a change in the way &lt;em&gt;duplicate questions&lt;/em&gt; are defined. The team now wants to make sure that &lt;strong&gt;people will actually find an answer to their question&lt;/strong&gt;. It's now less about the question than about finding a solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget that visitors who click the link to a question that's closed as a duplicate will automatically be redirected to the dupe, and it is now made sure that they will get an answer there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What this means for you is: &lt;strong&gt;You shouldn't close a question as a duplicate of another when the latter has no (upvoted) answers.&lt;/strong&gt; Simple as that. At this point it's helpful to repeat that moderators are supposed to be exception handlers. Normal users can't vote to close as a duplicate? Well, then it shouldn't be closed as such, unless something is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only exceptions to this rule – and I believe this is what @nhinkle had in mind when he helped you get around that bug – are, well, actual exceptions. Anything that doesn't usually occur. The VTC system has already been refined in that regard. For example, you can now choose one of the OP's questions as a duplicate as well. This way, the (very common problem of) question repetition can be adressed even by normal users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only real use case I now see for flagging with an unanswered duplicate is the following: a double migration where the same question now suddenly exists twice. Often these will be from an unassociated user account, so the rule in the paragraph above doesn't apply. Flag and we'll close it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line: Vote to close what you can, and unless it's a real exception that calls for immediate attention, then leave it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastActivityDate="2013-04-18T13:44:24.550" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can also post on meta (like you're doing now) about a specific question and ask for the community to consider reopening it, and give an argument &lt;em&gt;why you feel that way&lt;/em&gt; (note: rhetoric like &amp;quot;Help, I'm being oppressed!&amp;quot; does not help. You need to give specific, rational reasons why the question should be reopened.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What you &lt;strong&gt;really wanted to know about&lt;/strong&gt; (what you were probably thinking when you wrote that):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this unjust world where people rabidly close questions just because they can, how can I register my disagreement with these tyrants who want to silence valuable discussion?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My response to this, as a somewhat outspoken veteran of the community, is that &lt;em&gt;this is just the way it is&lt;/em&gt;. SuperUser and most other SE sites, being of the &amp;quot;Question and Answer&amp;quot; format, have attempted to strike a balance between &lt;em&gt;Signal&lt;/em&gt; (the questions which are really good and belong on the site) and &lt;em&gt;Noise&lt;/em&gt; (the questions which don't belong here and should eventually be deleted).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's what would make a question &lt;strong&gt;ideal&lt;/strong&gt; for this site, in terms of it being &amp;quot;pure Signal&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;no Noise&amp;quot;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has a clear-cut, &lt;strong&gt;single&lt;/strong&gt; answer. In other words, if the number of possible &lt;strong&gt;correct&lt;/strong&gt; answers is greater than 1, it is a bad question. These questions are also known as &lt;em&gt;subjective&lt;/em&gt; questions. SuperUser, unlike other sites, seems to have a real problem with accepting subjective questions, even &lt;em&gt;good-subjective&lt;/em&gt; questions (there was a blog post a while back distinguishing &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;good-subjective&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;bad-subjective&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). I feel that the community is, in particular, not very cognizant of this distinction, and tends to close subjective questions regardless of whether they are good or bad subjective. These questions are often closed &amp;quot;Not constructive&amp;quot;, and I really disagree with this in many cases. In the case of the question you linked, I &lt;em&gt;personally&lt;/em&gt; feel that it does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; suffer from &amp;quot;Not constructive&amp;quot; fallacy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The person asking the question has included all pertinent details about the question, allowing the answers to be very specific and to the point, rather than having to over-generalize due to missing information. &lt;strong&gt;This particular point&lt;/strong&gt; I agree strongly with, and think that we need to continue to weed out questions that are too broad. Questions which violate this principle are often closed &amp;quot;Not a real question&amp;quot;. In the case of the question you linked, it does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; suffer from &amp;quot;NARQ&amp;quot; fallacy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question can serve &lt;strong&gt;more people than just the person asking the question&lt;/strong&gt;. Questions which are single-use -- that is, the person asking it is the only person in the world who is likely to ever benefit from the answer -- are not likely to be accepted by the community. &lt;strong&gt;I agree very strongly with this point as well.&lt;/strong&gt; Questions which violate this principle are often closed &amp;quot;Too Localized&amp;quot;. In the case of the question you linked, it does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; suffer from &amp;quot;Too Localized&amp;quot; fallacy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question is &lt;strong&gt;on topic&lt;/strong&gt;. Note that, because all questions whose sole purpose is to acquire a list of products or services are inherently time-limited (they become less and less useful as more of the products or services listed become obsolete or are discontinued), we categorically mark &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; questions, whose sole purpose is to obtain links to software, as &lt;strong&gt;off topic&lt;/strong&gt;. Personally, &lt;strong&gt;I weakly agree with this point as well&lt;/strong&gt;, though I feel that, if the community were to commit to continuously maintain &amp;quot;software list&amp;quot; type questions, they would be useful. The problem is, how do we organize / incentivize the maintenance of these lists. Questions which solicit off topic information, which includes software lists as well as other off topic ideas, are closed as &amp;quot;Off Topic&amp;quot;. In the case of the question you linked, I think it actually &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a bit Off Topic, since it is purely about obtaining a list of software (Linux distributions). So, if I were to vote one way or another on that question, I would actually vote to close it as off topic, not &amp;quot;Not constructive&amp;quot;. This is unfortunate, as, I feel that we could maintain lists of extremely common and generally useful software like this, and the site would be better off for it. But that's not how it is now. :(&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I personally feel that we are trending towards our quest for a &amp;quot;pure&amp;quot; Signal and are setting our standards so high that many valuable questions with practical answers are getting shut out. But like I said, I am outspoken in the community, and many (including moderators, which is what really counts) feel that the status quo is fine, and that we are accepting most or all valid questions and turning away most or all bad questions, with little, if any, crossover.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In general&lt;/strong&gt;, I feel that more subjective discussion, and in particular, lists of software satisfying some condition, would be useful on SU, especially if we had some kind of way to ensure that the lists were cleaned up and edited on a regular basis to remove obsolete information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In general&lt;/strong&gt;, I feel that questions closed as &amp;quot;Off topic&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;NARQ&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;Too Localized&amp;quot; are generally &lt;em&gt;rightfully&lt;/em&gt; closed, but I have a problem with &amp;quot;Not constructive&amp;quot; in several cases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In general&lt;/strong&gt;, I am a bit concerned that maybe we are trending towards being too strict, and interpreting our guidelines a bit too literally when determining what constitutes an acceptable question and what should be closed/deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In your specific case&lt;/strong&gt; (the question you linked to), I think it definitely has a problem with being off topic (see my explanation of what I consider to be on-topic under the current system). The &amp;quot;Not constructive&amp;quot; reason for the closure is nonsense, if you ask me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly: I want to end on a positive note. The rules, guidelines, procedures and decisions of the StackExchange communities, including SuperUser, &lt;strong&gt;are malleable&lt;/strong&gt;. This means that &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; (and me, and everyone else) can contribute ideas and help steer it in a direction that is, hopefully, closer to the &amp;quot;ideal&amp;quot; site, and better for everyone. So, if you want to help out, I invite you to contribute your ideas that will make the rules &lt;em&gt;better&lt;/em&gt;, without destroying the community and the quality content that we value so highly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;TL;DR:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It should have been closed as &amp;quot;Off Topic&amp;quot;, not &amp;quot;Not Constructive&amp;quot;, but I agree that it should be closed.

This isn't destructive though… quite the contrary, we do this in order to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maintain a certain scope. It would be destructive to the community if the scope became too broad. Maybe that's a bit of an extreme example, but you can't have questions about programming algorithms next to cooking recipes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maintain quality. Stack Exchange sites are question and answer sites and &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; forums. Questions should be reasonably scoped and have a limited set of possible answers. When a question asks for subjective opinion (e.g., &quot;what  do you recommend?&quot;) or provokes discussion (e.g., &quot;Do you think Microsoft will release Windows 9 before OS X 11?&quot;), those questions are closed because they won't generate useful answers to questions about actual problem people are facing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Being closed &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/the-stack-overflow-question-lifecycle/&quot;&gt;isn't the end of a question though&lt;/a&gt;.  They can always be reopened by users &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/privileges/close-questions&quot;&gt;with the appropriate privileges&lt;/a&gt;. When a question is edited into better shape, it is automatically put in a review queue where users can vote to reopen. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And if you don't have the privileges yet, you can always flag a question for moderator attention for us to have a second look. Finally, you can just come to Meta and discuss about the reasons for closure, and ask for ways to improve the question—if possible, that is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, looking at the question you mentioned, the biggest problem is this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Has anyone ever looked for something like this? Ever found something good?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How is &quot;good&quot; defined? Everybody will have their own opinion about a certain distribution. At some point, with a larger number of answers, those questions will essentially become a polling contest. Not that we haven't been there already: In the early days of Super User, polling questions were still allowed, and quite popular. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At some point we realized though that these questions generated traffic for the wrong reasons—because everybody has an opinion. Everybody likes to discuss over trivial things. But this is not what the system is meant for. The format breaks when there are more than, say ten answers to a question. And the fact that a question has more than ten valid answers makes it seem like &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; answer could be valid.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that case the answers were just links to Linux distributions. Nothing that can't be researched, and any answer would have been equally valid.

If the current moderator team feels like they need more help, or if the Stack Exchange community managers see a need for more moderators, then the moderator team can request an election. A moderator election may also be held if an existing moderator needs to take an extended absence from the site, or if a moderator is hired by Stack Exchange to become a full-time employee.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Due to the steady increase in activity on the site, the elections are also somewhat regular, and have occurred &lt;em&gt;about&lt;/em&gt; once a year for the past two years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;[Is] the moderator status is held for a set limited time frame or forever?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In most cases you're a moderator for life.

The rationale behind it is that a question &amp;amp; answer site needs good questions to survive—or at least be more efficient at telling the good from the bad questions—and that removing the cost of downvoting questions would &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/05/vote-for-this-question-or-the-kitten-gets-it/&quot;&gt;get users to vote more&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Perhaps we should institute a new policy: every time you forget to vote a great question up, or a bad question down — a kitten gets it!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The follow-up blog post is here.

So yes, you &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to enter a summary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We require you to enter a summary for several reasons. First of all, working your way towards the full edit privileges you should develop a habit of always describing &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; you change. This is especially important for anything that isn't a simple copyedit (and the summary can arguably be left out there), but for example when you change a part of the answer or correct a mistake.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your reviewers will have to evaluate your edit, and giving them a proper description of what you did puts them into the right mindset. As a reviewer, you don't want to see: &quot;removed 20 characters; added 30 characters&quot;, or &quot;I improved the post&quot;—because that's a little obvious—but instead a &lt;em&gt;specific&lt;/em&gt; reason of why you chose to edit the post, e.g. &quot;there was a typo in the &lt;em&gt;foo&lt;/em&gt; command&quot;.

I made a comment there:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;By the same token, we shouldn't automatically close any question that says &quot;virus&quot; anywhere in the subject or body, because it may be that the user is mistaken in believing that they have a virus, when in fact, it's just good old fashioned broken software that may be able to be fixed somehow. My dad, for one, being extremely tech-unsavvy, thinks it's a virus when almost anything goes wrong with his PC. Many users come to us having already &quot;pre-diagnosed&quot; the symptoms they're seeing with their PC, and, not being experts, can easily get the diagnosis wrong and mislead themselves and us. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This led me to continue the discussion in &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/118/root-access&quot;&gt;Root Access&lt;/a&gt;, where &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/9688311#9688311&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; chat line drummed up some more discussion about the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general gradient of reasoning of the &lt;em&gt;proponents of closing&lt;/em&gt; these types of questions goes something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Assumption: We have a canonical question/answer about how to deal with viruses. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/100360/how-do-i-get-rid-of-malicious-spyware-malware-viruses-or-rootkits-from-my-pc&quot;&gt;Valid&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Assertion: When the user thinks they have a virus, they should take the advice in the canonical question, i.e. nuke their system. Then we should nuke their &lt;em&gt;question&lt;/em&gt; as a duplicate. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/6833/closing-virus-related-issues-questions#comment17495_6834&quot;&gt;Debated&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Assertion: &lt;strong&gt;If&lt;/strong&gt; the user is &lt;em&gt;incorrect&lt;/em&gt; in their diagnosis that it's a virus, then it will take a lot of back and forth comments and tooth-pulling to get them to provide us the info we need to properly diagnose the problem. (&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem&quot;&gt;Valid&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Assertion: &lt;strong&gt;Even if&lt;/strong&gt; the user does not even attempt to provide an alleged diagnosis of their problems, and instead merely &lt;em&gt;reports their symptoms&lt;/em&gt;, the question shifts from being a &lt;em&gt;duplicate&lt;/em&gt; to being &lt;em&gt;too localized&lt;/em&gt;, and is still a bad question.

I don't think it makes sense to close all questions which don't have encyclopedic significance; that would make us a clone of Wikipedia. Also, not &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; question that's asked, and not &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; set of symptoms that are reported, will already have a question previously asked about those symptoms. But the fact is, &lt;strong&gt;troubleshooting very often, if not always, requires a lot of &quot;back and forth&quot; chit-chat&lt;/strong&gt;. Troubleshooting fundamentally involves:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having &lt;em&gt;limited information&lt;/em&gt; about what the &lt;em&gt;symptoms&lt;/em&gt; are;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having &lt;em&gt;limited information&lt;/em&gt; about what the &lt;em&gt;root cause&lt;/em&gt; is;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having &lt;em&gt;limited information&lt;/em&gt; about what the &lt;em&gt;solution&lt;/em&gt; is;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trying various things&lt;/em&gt; that either provide more information, or potentially reveal / shed light on root causes, or actually resolve the problem;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Referring to help manuals, forum posts, technical knowledge bases, and possibly related SE network questions/answers which may or may not help.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When we encounter a question with &lt;em&gt;limited information&lt;/em&gt; about what the &lt;em&gt;symptoms&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;root cause&lt;/em&gt; of the problem are, should we:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Close the question because it's going to be too chatty?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Close the question because it's too localized? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Leave it open and attempt to help them in comments until we have a definite answer, then post the answer?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Invite them into a &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;chat.stackexchange.com&lt;/a&gt; chat room (in our case, Root Access)?

Sites that offer reviews should &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; be partnered with companies that produce the products under review. For obvious reasons this is likely to lead to at worst false reviewing and at best a pressure towards a favorable review that blog authors will have to fight against.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of my favorite points about SU is that it is a community, it is a site moderated by us and we are the ones taking part in it.

It seems like this suggestion would pave the way for SU to become &quot;just another site&quot; controlled by the same corporate interests.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The advantages you list seem to be mostly for the company. All we get is a couple of freebies they may send our way while the company gets &quot;free publicity&quot;, free adds in the add box, and a direct line to a huge potential customer base. All of this could be worth a lot of money but we are offering it free for the dubious benefit of a few free items that would be distributed how among the pretty large SU user base? They would end up going to a select few chosen either by lottery (I hope) or by some other arbitrary method. The end result would be the same, a select few get a free gift of a shiny new router and the company solves its advertising problems for free. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The trilogy sites are rapidly becoming the &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; source of information for their respective fields.

While it's one thing to write about a gadget you happened to purchase and like, it's another to actively solicit or entertain solicitations from companies on a community blog. The blog extends the core of the site, which is to share expert information. Reviews, which when positive become endorsements, get too far away from that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's not to say you &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; do them; if you bought a new SSD and you were so enamored with it that you felt simply &lt;em&gt;compelled&lt;/em&gt; to tell the world how much you liked it - go for it. To me, that's as honest as a review can get. I think codifying a means to make these happen systematically takes away from that value, and possibly credibility. I know these are envisioned to be completely non-biased, but you'll frequently get the hecklers that say you rigged the tests.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are just too many potentially icky things that could go wrong, I don't think the idea is bad, but this isn't the best platform for it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1658" LastActivityDate="2013-06-18T15:01:23.753" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/4266/151431&quot;&gt;similar request&lt;/a&gt; that suggests using HTML comments to activate highlighting for specific posts. I would rather implement something like we have over on SO and U&amp;amp;L where syntax highlighting is activated according to a question's tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, if a question is tagged as &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/bash&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;bash&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bash&lt;/a&gt;, any &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; blocks in the answer get &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt; highlighting.

It was indeed more often a hindrance than a help. Nevertheless, while many, if not most, SU posts do not need and should not have syntax highlighting, there are many that do. For example, many of these:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/bash&quot;&gt;3,276 questions tagged with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/bash&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;bash&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/emacs&quot;&gt;1,034 questions tagged with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/emacs&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;emacs&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;emacs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=batch&quot;&gt;6,221 questions tagged with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/batch&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;batch&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;batch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=awk&quot;&gt;1,627 questions tagged with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/awk&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;awk&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;awk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While not all would benefit from syntax highlighting, many would. Since this is already implemented in a tag-dependent manner on U&amp;amp;L I imagine it would be simple to also activate it here. I think that syntax highlighting only for certain tags would improve SU while not affecting the great majority of questions that need no highlighting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would also be happy if we could simply allow the HTML comments to prettify code as suggested in the question linked above.

However I will say this, if you feel that a question is &lt;em&gt;right on the edge&lt;/em&gt;, then it should in theory be able to be made into a good question for the site with a little bit of editing. Something that can't be fixed even with a Herculean editing effort should lend a bit more to your confidence in putting it on hold or voting for deletion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, as &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/48078/slhck&quot;&gt;slhck&lt;/a&gt; notes, just skip it.

Obsolete, historical tags like this one encourage posting of low-quality questions that will almost certainly need further editing (&lt;em&gt;if there's an dedicated tag for that, then it must be on-topic, right?&lt;/em&gt;).

However, a cynical reviewer might consider mentioning &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; piece of software that runs on a computer a &amp;quot;product recommendation&amp;quot; - thus any question on SuperUser that is not expressed in terms of pure mathematical formulae would be off topic &lt;code&gt;:)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/dont-ask&quot;&gt;What types of questions should I avoid asking? - Help Center - Super User&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, make sure that your question is on-topic for this site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think I did above; although as mentioned above, any mention of &amp;quot;electronic devices&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;product recommendations&amp;quot; is a qualifier for off-topic - so I wouldn't really know; which is why I'm asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There either is a GUI tool that can handle both server and client NFS administration, or not. If not, I do not expect an answer (apart from maybe &amp;quot;No such tool at the moment&amp;quot; - but I don't expect downvotes either). I don't see how that would qualify for &amp;quot;chatty, open-ended questions&amp;quot;. I was looking, and I could find only one, server-side only, GUI tool which I referenced, so it's not like I was lazy or anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your questions should be reasonably scoped. If you can imagine an entire book that answers your question, you’re asking too much.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No I cannot imagine a whole book - as I said; there either is a GUI tool of the kind I'm looking for, or there isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your motivation for asking the question is “I would like to participate in a discussion about ______”, then you should not be asking here. However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK. (Discussions are of course welcome in our real time web chat.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I cannot see how asking about an existence of a GUI tool would be inviting to participate in a discussion. Then again, I can always rephrase the same question as: &amp;quot;I would like others to explain how to manage both server and client aspects of NFS shares with a single GUI tool&amp;quot;; which will again boil down to: there either is a GUI tool of the kind I'm looking for, or there isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe I didn't ask about favorite choices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nope, never seen a tool of the kind I'm looking for, which is why I was asking in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm totally not curious about other people's feelings - I just want to know if there is a GUI tool that manages client and server side of NFS sharing; and if so, which one it is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;you are asking an open-ended, hypothetical question: “What if ______ happened?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think I did - although, if I was cynical, I could always rephrase as: &amp;quot;What if a GUI tool that can manage both server and client side of NFS shares existed?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;your question is just a rant in disguise: “______ sucks, am I right?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think I had any ranty aspects in my question - apart from a slight disappointment that such a GUI tool doesn't exist, or if it does, it cannot be tracked down with a moderately thorough search. Again, if I was cynical, I could always reconstruct the meaning of my question to be: &amp;quot;Managing NFS shares through the terminal sucks, am I right? Better to use a GUI tool, no?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, taking the above into account-  as far as I can see, my question was on topic for SuperUser. But since the community insisted it &lt;em&gt;wasn't&lt;/em&gt; I (and probably others), would be greatly appreciate an explanation of where did I go wrong in reading the FAQ (taking into account that there are enough possibilities to take pieces of the FAQ cynically, and thus declare any and all questions on SuperUser off-topic).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="39752" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2013-08-26T19:06:10.843" Title="What is the problem with this question?"

Here's a quick guide on how to get started, and what to expect:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Where do I get started?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First create an account for the blog.  To do this, you simply go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/wp-admin&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;blog.superuser.com/wp-admin&lt;/a&gt; and log in using your OpenID that you use for the blog (similar to joining a new SE site).  After that, you'll be able to comment on posts, but not create any new posts.  If you want to start creating a post check out the Super User Blog chat room and ping either me (@Kronos) or @Nhinkle so we can get you started.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also be sure to check out and join our &lt;a href=&quot;https://trello.com/b/xdPQplr4/su-blog-posts-scheduling&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Trello&lt;/a&gt; board.  It's a little dusty at times, but we try to keep things as up to date as possible in there.  It's a great tool to know who's working on what.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;I've got an idea I'd like to blog about, how do I start?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Create the idea on the Trello board, and talk to either Nhinkle or Me about it.  This isn't exactly necessary, but we've been doing this long enough that we'll be able to give some feedback on whether it's an on-topic post or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From there you'll simply use the editor within blog's WordPress engine.  When you think you're done, ping either me or Nhinkle and we go over it, and schedule it for being published&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;I'm an unimaginative being and have no ideas, therefore I can't be of any use to you&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;WRONG.  Just because you can't think of something right now, doesn't mean later down the road you won't be able to either.  Plus, we're going to restart the Question of the Month posts, and you can do one of those.  You can also look for interesting questions from Super User and blog about them on your own.  I promise, if you sit down for just a few minutes something will come to mind about  what you can blog about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Wait, blog posts can be on/off topic?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes.  Although wide in subject matter, there are still areas that we really can't/shouldn't explore within the blog.  I know you love your cat, and want to blog about it's heroic deeds as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_kill&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;neighborhood serial killer&lt;/a&gt;, but we just can't blog about it here.  You'll have to find somewhere else to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have any question about what you can and can't blog... you guessed it, just talk to Nhinkle or I and we'll gladly help you out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How often do I need to contribute to the blog?/Is there an expected amount of posts I'm asked to do?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a voluntary thing, and therefore we understand that you're schedules are busy.  You're not expected to give us a certain amount of posts or to be under specific deadlines each week.  If you do however sign up for a post, we do hope that you'll get that post done in time to keep the flow of posts coming.  If you can't make it, please let us know a head of time so we can plan accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Is there a regular schedule to posting on the blog?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We're shooting for at least one post a month, and at most once every two weeks starting out.  This helps us keeps things on par with that quality that we've already been producing, and doesn't add as much pressure on the bloggers themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Are there other ways I can contribute to the blog?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless you're a company and would like us to review your products, right now all we need are contributors to the blog.  That does not mean you'll only be writing posts.  We hope you'll also help look at others posts and give positive feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What's the purpose of this dumb blog anyways?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately it's to give back to the Super User community.  We want to highlight awesome questions/answers that Super Users are creating.  We also want to create content that can be linked to within questions.  Finally we want to create content that Super Users ultimately enjoy reading about.

There is a lively debate in the comments and in similar questions that is never going to end on MSO, if you read the linked MSO questions to the link above. There appear to be 2 camps: those who say &quot;let them ask and answer as long as it's useful to someone&quot;, and the others who say &quot;don't waste my time with trivial stuff&quot; and who will punish you if you go against it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general rule is to help as much as you can, even though there is no immediate reward and it may not be obvious to you why it might be necessary to answer the question. Remain polite at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, downvoting someone - who has shown no research effort or has done a poor job of explaining something worded - is perfectly legit.

For whatever reason, if their question is legitimate, they (and their question) deserve respect.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Who knows, maybe you are talking with an 85 year old grandpa, who never &quot;got&quot; computers. However, one day he decides to bite the bullet and just jumped in, head first.

Those are my rules.  Even if a question blatantly doesn't belong on this site, I'll only raise a moderator flag to move it.  This is because the question isn't illegitimate, it just belongs on another site within the SE network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It doesn't hurt the site, or the community, for these simple questions to exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="91608" LastActivityDate="2013-09-03T12:48:00.593" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Even if you would use every anti-malware package that exists, then you still wouldn't be able to detect &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; malware. Just because there are simply certain cases that would make it impossible for such a software to detect a certain malware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is only a subset of the questions you asked in your post though. Your overall question can not be reasonably answered, it can only collect answers containing what people &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; would be a correct answer (when it is merely their opinion).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's have a closer look at why this type of question is a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you ask how far you have to go to protect your PC, I would summarize that you want to know (from an expert) which countermeasures you would have to deploy to avoid being infected by a malware or possibly having your system intruded by an attacker.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now someone might answer &quot;I use SuperScanner 2013 Ultimate and I have never had any problems.&quot; Which is great for him, but it doesn't answer your question and it's not the answer you're looking for. This is exactly why you posted this meta question, because you don't want answers like that on your question and you might think that these answers caused your question to be closed even though you didn't want them in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, let's assume &lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt; am an expert and I was to answer your question with something like &quot;I never connect my workstations directly to the internet, if I need a file, I download it from a separate machine and then copy it to my main workstation offline. Also, I only use GNU Hurd as my operating system.&quot; Is that answer any better? No, it isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, what exactly would a &lt;em&gt;proper&lt;/em&gt; answer to your question look like?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Studies by Kramer et. al., Johnson et. al. and Lucrov et. al. in 2009, 2010 and 2012 respectively have shown conclusively that installing ACME AMP Plutonium Edition on your Windows workstations will prevent 78% of all intrusion attacks and 82% of all infections of known viruses. Any other anti-malware package proved less effective. Installing additional anti-malware software did not increase the measurable security of the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Oh, yeah, that would be awesome. Except that studies like that don't exist. And if they would exist, what would a study from 4 years ago mean today? A ton of new malware would have been written since then. You also can't measure security. You might have 100% protection from virus infections and then fall victim to a phishing attack.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line, there are no proper answers to a question like that.

Also, impossible questions regarding software can become answerable, in the future, if the software is updated by the developers to provide the discussed functionality.

One set would be high-res images, and the second set would be low-res images. So you would essentially take your screenshots, and then process them, i.e. re-size them. &lt;em&gt;(You can use a program like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irfanview.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;IrfanView&lt;/a&gt; to batch re-size all of them at once, as opposed to opening each image in an image editor such as Microsoft Paint, re-sizing it and then saving it with a new name.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;File              Resolution&#xA;----------------------------&#xA;image_01.png      800x500&#xA;image_01_low.png  240x150&#xA;image_02.png      800x500&#xA;image_02_low.png  240x150&#xA;image_03.png      800x500&#xA;image_03_low.png  240x150&#xA;image_04.png      800x500&#xA;image_04_low.png  240x150&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can then make only the low-res images appear on the page, and link them to the high-res versions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The code will look something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    [![screen1][2]][1]&#xA;    [![screen2][4]][3]&#xA;    [![screen3][6]][5]&#xA;    [![screen4][8]][7]&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_01.png&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_01_low.png&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_02.png&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_02_low.png&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_03.png&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_03_low.png&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_04.png&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/image_04_low.png&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This requires that you have two sets of images, so it requires additional image processing and that takes time.

The key here is to use the attribute &lt;code&gt;height&lt;/code&gt; to specify the height for each image (in pixels), thus making them all equally high. Don't use the suffix &lt;code&gt;px&lt;/code&gt; like &lt;code&gt;height=&quot;150px&quot;&lt;/code&gt; as this will break the HTML code. Use &lt;code&gt;height=&quot;150&quot;&lt;/code&gt; instead.

VC money is not sustainable because the investors expect to get some kind of return on their investment, so unless you are making a profit, you won't continue to get VC money. SE is hiring a lot of employees lately -- &lt;strong&gt;a lot&lt;/strong&gt; -- and thus increasing their spending, which means they burn through their VC faster. I have no idea how much revenue careers and advertisements brings them, but intuitively it can't be that much. Meanwhile, their operating costs continue to increase as they hire, add more servers, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, SE is the new kid on the block, competing with the likes of Monster, Glassdoor, and to some extent, LinkedIn, in the effort to bring up a community of people looking for jobs and companies looking to hire. They're fighting a lot of inertia to use those more established sites. HR drones aren't known for being early adopters. I'd be astonished if your typical Corporate America HR were even aware of careers.SO.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How is Stack Exchange funded?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Daniel answers that satisfactorily. That accounts for their funding &lt;em&gt;today&lt;/em&gt;, but if/when the VC dries up, they'll need to rely on ad revenue and companies paying to post job ads. It seems like a rough business to be in: if the economy goes down the toilet, like it's presently very likely to do if the US Congress doesn't vote to raise the debt ceiling, the number of available jobs will dry up, and so will the job postings on sites like careers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Personally&lt;/em&gt; I'd be willing to pay to use SE's question and answer sites, but I know that the SE community sites also serve a lot of users who would be completely unwilling to pay, so it's kind of hard to say how this thing will continue to be funded unless SE horizontally expands to something more profitable, like writing proprietary software, or selling cars or groceries. Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of money that companies will pay to post a job ad, but I don't feel that the income from careers is going to counterbalance their expenditures on the Q&amp;amp;A sites and careers itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2013-10-01T14:08:00.370" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So what we're talking about here would essentially mean putting the information next user info container shown next to each post or adding some sort of notification before, during and/or after the user writes the comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first option is off the table right away, because we don't want to clutter the user info box with an information like that. It's simply not important enough and the user probably wouldn't understand it either, unless it's a full sentence.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second option is also bad, because, believe it or not, new users aren't really in the habit of &lt;em&gt;reading&lt;/em&gt;.

This is actually yet another way to link those thumbnails with the full-size versions of each image. This is Markdown in-line linking.

They meet my criteria for height control, e.g. allowing all thumbnails to have the same height, but without having them squashed from maybe a 2:1 width to height ration down to a perfect 1:1 square (e.g. 320x320).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You don't really want to keep the proportions anyway when the thumbnail is going to be made into a square. Instead, the new thumbnail is a zoomed-in version of the original image. So if you are making a big image into a thumbnail, it will only show a section of it as thumbnail (e.g. it crops it down to right size instead of resizing). This has the effect that the thumbnail image looks sharper, as opposed to the other options which make the thumbnail image appear blurry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="137165" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.890" LastActivityDate="2013-10-15T18:02:59.870" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many other questions have an answer, but the OP looked at it and determined that it's incorrect. What you're suggesting is an &quot;all-or-nothing&quot; approach, where we should totally ignore questions that we can't answer right off the bat. This is a bad approach IMHO. Here are my reasons for arguing against this approach:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Often, just by talking back and forth with the OP, the OP will think of the answer to their question by themselves. This happens surprisingly often! Even if you know nothing about the program or the problem domain, just listening to the user and giving your honest feedback and talking about the problem logically, often the OP will be able to post and accept their own answer, even if nobody else has any idea what they're talking about. Under your proposed behavior, these types of dialogue would never occur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Help Vampires (HVs) -- those who are trying to get the community to do their thinking for them -- often will show their true colors in the comments. If you read a question and it isn't immediately obvious whether the poster is a HV (i.e., someone we should not attempt to help), a comment or two should eliminate all ambiguity. Asking for clarification on the question is a great way to test for HV. On the other hand, if the poster is decidedly &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a HV, any comment that carefully considers their question, shows some research effort, and makes logical sense, is bound to help the poster in some way. For non-HVs, getting the OP &lt;em&gt;closer&lt;/em&gt; to an answer is better than keeping them in the dark. For HVs, their vampiric ways are exposed, and we can vote to close as &quot;Unclear what you're asking&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many questions where &lt;strong&gt;no one&lt;/strong&gt;, except the OP, actually has enough information available to be able to definitively answer the question. Actually extracting the requisite information from the OP in order to be able to determine (or Google) a solution, is a challenge in its own right, and &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; end up helping the OP. When someone unfamiliar with a question's problem domain evaluates a potentially valid question, they don't know in advance whether someone like you will come along and answer it in one fell swoop and call everyone else out for being off the mark. All they can do is try to lead the OP in the right direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if you don't end up providing a correct and on-point solution to the OP, it is still useful to help the OP exercise their brain. They (or someone else viewing the post at a much later time) can see your troubleshooting method, the way that you approached the problem, and the things you tried, and this might help them narrow down their issue. Or, perhaps one of the things you tried that didn't work for the OP, will turn out to work fine for someone else with a similar problem who finds the question on Google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Point is, the traditional saying &quot;silence is golden&quot; is &lt;strong&gt;complete nonsense&lt;/strong&gt; on StackExchange sites (especially SU, SO, SF). Silence is the &lt;em&gt;worst&lt;/em&gt; thing you can do in response to a question, aside from &lt;em&gt;deliberately&lt;/em&gt; misleading the OP &lt;em&gt;away&lt;/em&gt; from the answer (that's called &lt;em&gt;trolling&lt;/em&gt;).

So if you have a router, a NAS, and wired clients A and B, and you want jumbo frames between your NAS and your client A, only the client A, router, and NAS would need to have jumbo frames enabled.

There are three repositories of interest: My &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/allquixotic/so-chatbot-driver&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Driver&lt;/a&gt; written in Java, which provides login functionality only; Zirak's &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;base&lt;/a&gt; ChatBot; and my minimal &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/allquixotic/SO-ChatBot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;changes&lt;/a&gt; as a friendly fork of Zirak's bot. The primary purpose of my changes is to adapt the functionality of the ChatBot to the Root Access chatroom, insofar as the existing code is specifically tuned for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/17/javascript&quot;&gt;JavaScript&lt;/a&gt; chatroom, which is the original home of Zirak's ChatBot.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Where else is a similar ChatBot (based on Zirak's code) hosted in chat rooms on the SE network? &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; In the aforementioned JavaScript chatroom, as well as the Android chatroom, and perhaps others that I am not aware of. Some users in other rooms have expressed interest in having one, but have not yet put the hosting infrastructure in place to host one.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Are bots allowed on the SE network in general? &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/116698/201411&quot;&gt;It would appear that they are.&lt;/a&gt; I completely understand the proviso that SE has the final say regarding what they consider allowable and what is not considered allowable. I am eager to work with SE and the other ChatBot maintainers to ensure that these bots meet community standards and can continue to be a part of the flavor of the chat rooms for a long time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;The Problem&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:&lt;/strong&gt; Having read &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866/balpha&quot;&gt;balpha&lt;/a&gt;'s message explaining the reason for suspension, what is your (allquixotic's) interpretation of the reasons for the suspension of ChatBot John Cavil? &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A:&lt;/strong&gt; I see the reason as being three-fold: &#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The bot greets every user who enters the room for the first time, if it has never seen them before.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The bot contains commands which contain foul language, or might be viewed as objectionable and not rated &quot;PG&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The bot's message is written in a way that could be misinterpreted as indicating that the bot is part of the official chatroom functionality, or that it is officially endorsed by StackExchange, Inc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Observations&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is observed that other chatbots based on Zirak's code have existed on the StackExchange chat room network long before John Cavil came into existence.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is observed that every other chatbot based on Zirak's code...&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;...contains the same built-in command which balpha specifically found objectionable.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;...automatically greets users joining the chat for the first time with some sort of welcome message.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;...allows users to define their own commands, which can contain arbitrary text, links, or oneboxes, including foul language or inappropriate material.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is observed that regular users in &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/118/root-access&quot;&gt;Root Access&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/127/the-comms-room&quot;&gt;The Comms Room&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/151/the-dmz&quot;&gt;The DMZ&lt;/a&gt;, and other popular chatrooms on the SE network, very frequently use foul language and post objectionable content, which is not flagged or removed from the chat history, even in the presence of several site moderators. It would appear that this content, &lt;em&gt;in general&lt;/em&gt;, is considered to be acceptable by the majority of the users of these rooms, except in cases where it crosses a line in the opinion of the users, is flagged, and is taken care of. The efficacy of the chat flag system is very clear, because flags are usually handled within seconds, and valid flagged messages are almost always nuked within seconds. It would seem that this system should be able to take care of any foul language or objectionable content being output by the bot (either built-in, or induced by a user) in cases where chat users find it to be objectionable, and suspensions are unwarranted.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is observed that, to the best of my knowledge, ChatBot John Cavil does not have any chat flags which have been deemed valid, based on a user supplying non-objectionable input commands and receiving &lt;em&gt;objectionable&lt;/em&gt; output. (It may be the case that it may have a flag when a user typed something that contained objectionable input, in which case &lt;em&gt;that user&lt;/em&gt;, not John Cavil, should be held responsible for the output. It is impossible to write a filter for a chat bot that will absolutely prevent any objectionable material from being printed in chat or linked to, regardless of user input, without severely limiting its functionality.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is observed that, as of this writing, and to the best of my knowledge, ChatBot John Cavil is the only chatbot which has been suspended from chat, despite containing the exact same feature set as other chatbots on the SE network, which on the whole have been met with chat user approval and have seen continual maintenance and improvement in cases where their behavior has proven annoying or undesirable.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;My Questions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Given the observations above, why is ChatBot John Cavil, &lt;em&gt;specifically&lt;/em&gt;, suspended, and not the other chat bots?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Without doing away with the ChatBot entirely -- which, thankfully, was &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; requested by the StackExchange employee who suspended it -- what are ways that I can improve its functionality in order to make it more acceptable? I will take a shot at this right now; if you have any additional suggestions, please post them as an answer or a comment:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I would very much like to keep the automatic greeting in &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; form or another. The wording can easily be tweaked to indicate that the ChatBot is not built-in, and is not officially endorsed by StackExchange.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I completely agree with the sentiment that removing the command which was found specifically objectionable by balpha is sensible. I will, additionally, submit my patch as a pull request on GitHub for Zirak, in the hopes that he will &quot;clean up&quot; his bot as well. I will then do a search through the command list and attempt to remove any other built-in or user-learned commands which could be construed as objectionable.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Lastly, if it is the only way that StackExchange will agree to allow the bot to continue to exist, then I will reluctantly remove the automatic greeter.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;The Case For The Auto-Greeter&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Big Kudos to @Skliwz for making me aware that I needed to add this section!)&#xA;Here are my responses to some of the common objections which have been made regarding the auto-greeting functionality:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objection:&lt;/strong&gt; The auto-greeting messages are obtrusive or noisy for users who are already acquainted with the room.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Response:&lt;/strong&gt; &#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Relative to some more popular rooms, there really are not all that many new users who visit the Root Access chat, so the frequency of the messages is pretty low. Maybe one or two a day at most. There were a few spikes when popular questions linked to chat, but those are anomalies. We may be able to add code to the bot that stops greeting users if more than X number of users enter the room within a Y second window.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Some room regulars find it useful to know when a new user has entered the room, because often we will immediately stop some off-topic conversation and prepare to help the user with their question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When a user joins the room, there is currently no way for regulars to know whether that user is completely new to Root Access; completely new to chat; or even whether they are able to post messages. Generally, users that the bot has never seen before are going to be the most impressionable, and we want to make a good impression, so we will make a greater effort to eliminate side conversations to allow the new user an opportunity to interject with a question about the site or seeking live support. Experienced users will not feel put-off by a continual stream of conversation, and are more likely to interject even if we don't make an opening for them specifically.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Users who &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; find the bot's messages to be annoying can choose to ignore the bot using a feature built into the chat client.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objection:&lt;/strong&gt; New users who wish to lurk in chat and not participate in the discussion are &quot;pinged&quot;, which can annoy them, or bring unwanted attention to their profile or user name.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Response:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SE is a public site; user profiles and display names are public; and users should have no expectation of privacy when creating an account and electing to provide information in their profile. Users who wish to remain anonymous may do so: if you do not create an account (or even if you &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; have an account, but aren't logged in), you do not appear on the user list, and will not be &quot;pinged&quot; by the bot, or any other user.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Everyone can already see your presence in the chat room in the user list if you're logged in. We know you're lurking, and we're totally fine with it. I have never seen a regular in Root Access ping a lurker just because the ChatBot pointed them out. We tend to only speak to users who have participated in the chat at one point or another, and are acquainted with at least a few people in the room.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objection:&lt;/strong&gt; New users may mistakenly think that, due to the auto-greeting, the chat bot somehow represents the official points of view or stances of StackExchange (the company).&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Response:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I am willing to modify the greeting message in &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; way that would help to clear up this misunderstanding, either by supplying text dictated by StackExchange themselves, or a community-approved string, that makes it unambiguous that this is a &lt;em&gt;community, unofficial&lt;/em&gt; bot that is simply trying to provide useful and/or entertaining commands and information.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is already a common misconception among new users that diamond moderators represent the views of StackExchange, Inc. Clearly we know that they do not, as veteran users of the site, but it is very hard to avoid this initial impression. The best we can do is attempt to inform the user to the contrary, which some moderators explicitly do in their profiles. Maybe I can also add verbiage to this effect in ChatBot John Cavil's profile to help the situation?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:39:37.027" LastActivityDate="2014-04-23T09:11:41.447" Title="Some issues with a recent action that was taken regarding the Root Access chat bot" Tags="|discussion|chat|" AnswerCount="4" CommentCount="26" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That is a functionality that the Stack Exchange chat system specifically and intentionally does &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; offer, and a user-written bot shouldn't either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given that the user who is in control of the bot &amp;ndash; you &amp;ndash; wasn't available in the room at that time, I disabled the bot by &quot;suspending&quot; the user you created for it and left you a message, in particular &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/118?m=12129907#12129907&quot;&gt;telling you&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I have suspended the bot for now, let me (or another moderator) know when the greeting is off.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I put the word &quot;suspending&quot; in quotes because it's not like I put a real user into the penalty bin &amp;ndash; I just disabled a bot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to the question of why it's allowed in other rooms &amp;ndash; it's not.

Personally, I find it extremely immature an inappropriate, but I haven't made up my mind about outright disallowing it, and if you &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; reconsider and remove it, we wouldn't have to make a decision about that. If you &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt;, then we'd have to talk about it and decide.

And they those are tested. And that there is spare hardware or that new hardware can be replaced rapidly (E.g. due to 4h support contracts). I also assume time is a factor. Playing around for a day or two to get a setup working is not worth it if you can just toss a single new desktop at it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When on [SU] or other sites this is usually the reverse. Time is cheap. Deadlines are often personal ones. Getting a old system working might not be economical but it might be fun (e.g. installing win98 on a P1 is fun, but insane for corporate environments).

It was a pretty annoying job, but it quite a few decades ago, and they didn't have something better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then they did. Bob, my great-grandfather, added a component in the production line which packaged the margarine. It was (and is) very not-trivial, since you have a moving product and you have to fold it &lt;em&gt;just right&lt;/em&gt; with fixed mechanical movements.

We dedicate hours of our lives to educate and solve problems without asking for anything in return, because of our own reasons (some of us are bored, some of us are interested in the problems, some feel that education is the best way to advance the js community and the programmer community in general, etc).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And we notice things which annoy us. One of them is when new people show up, they have the same problem StackOverflow has - they're used to a certain format, but we work in another format. In some chat rooms (especially MMO chats for some reason), it's common practice to say things like &quot;anybody here?&quot; or &quot;can anybody help me with X?&quot; or &quot;can anybody help me?&quot;, or maybe they just randomly select someone and ask. But we don't quite like it. We're here to answer questions. We can't answer your question...if we don't know what it is. Answering these questions produces 0 value in general, and just aggravates us because we see them &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/272399#272399&quot;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=6991926#6991926&quot;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/8656316#8656316&quot;&gt;over&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We notice a pattern, we notice a problem. We're now at the second step to solving it: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot/issues/39&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot/issues/39&lt;/a&gt; And we have the technology.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So we make a system. It had bugs, the community complained. They were so severe, we &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot/issues/42&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;shut the system down&lt;/a&gt;, only two days after it was launched. But we didn't give up. We improved the system, we fixed bugs, we considered edge cases. 9 days later, it was live again. A month later, the system got improved again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The system solved our problem. It didn't just do that, it did a lot more - new users really liked it (&lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=12605213#12605213&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=12595420#12595420&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=12399692#12399692&quot;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=10803692#10803692&quot;&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/17?m=9828961#9828961&quot;&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;, ...). It made them feel welcome (maybe because, well, the message &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; welcome you). So not only did it mostly solve our problem, it improved the overall feel of new users. Unlike IRC welcome messages, which are actually giant walls of text, this was a 2 liner asking something simple of you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can the system be better? Certainly! It still has bugs, it can still be improved, it can be more meticulous about who it welcomes and who it doesn't using better metrics. Heck, it might even have cross-site problems, since I really just made it for the SO chat, not SE in general. However, the important fact here is that &lt;em&gt;it solves a real problem we had&lt;/em&gt;. Before it, we had to say &quot;please don't ask to ask, just ask&quot; about four dozen times a week. Now, it's a lot less (because some people either manage to forget, or need a reminder). Just &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/12962195#12962195&quot;&gt;today, when I was catching up to the whole story&lt;/a&gt;, someone came in and showed us the problem again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd like to point out another important fact: Just because the system works for us doesn't mean it'll work for everybody. Some rooms don't need this kind of message. Some might just not like the idea. Some might not even have the problem to begin with - because we're a heavily invested technical room this problem began. Horse Grooming chat rooms may have 24/7 long discussions about...horse grooming, without ever having to face this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And another important point, which may have been lost in the flow, the automation of it. In several points, we were asked to just do it manually, that is if we see a user acting in a problematic way, we welcome him. But that's just going back to how thing were before the system, which as described, was not ideal, which is why the solution sprouted in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To conclude, I'd like to say how community driven the bot is. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/207142/220449&quot;&gt;Benjamin Gruenbaum&lt;/a&gt; said it before me, and I'd like to repeat: The bot is shaped by the community. We have an active and healthy discussion going around for every suggestion. If we see something isn't going well, we talk about it and improve. Features were added and removed, features were thrown away at planning stage, and it's all community driven. We also ask moderators (one of SO's mods is also a regular in the room) in some gray areas, ask for their approval. We do all this because we're programmers. Our job, our source of fun, is identifying problems, and solving them. So I'd like to ask the moderators to reconsider making this site-wide. Since they're the people who make the rules, my next commit is going to respect that and remove the auto-welcome. But it won't feel right, and it won't feel fair.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="77376" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2013-11-15T21:40:21.663" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question must always be tagged with the magic &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/community-ads&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;community-ads&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;community-ads&lt;/a&gt; tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Image requirements&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The image that you create must be &lt;strong&gt;220 x 250 pixels&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (i.stack.imgur.com)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be GIF or PNG&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;No animated GIFs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Score Threshold&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a &lt;strong&gt;minimum score threshold&lt;/strong&gt; an answer must meet (currently &lt;strong&gt;6&lt;/strong&gt;) before it will be shown on the main site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/ads/display/7438&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="37191" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T09:30:19.973" LastActivityDate="2014-08-01T00:01:55.640" Title="Community Promotion Ads - 2014" Tags="|discussion|community-ads|" AnswerCount="20" CommentCount="1" ClosedDate="2015-01-01T03:05:37.530" CommunityOwnedDate="2013-12-06T09:41:23.757" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If a question is asked that appears on the surface to be topical, but then all the valid answers involve some programming, it's not suddenly off-topic. We can't expect a user to know beforehand the complete implications of the question they're asking. And if they're getting &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; answers here, ones that solve their problem, there is not a strong case for migration. Migration is only really useful when the answers they get here are poor, too general, not helpful, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, questions that &lt;em&gt;themselves&lt;/em&gt; ask about actual programming languages (how do I do X in Python, Bash, etc.), are more likely to be considered off-topic and migrated to SO. If the &lt;em&gt;question&lt;/em&gt; contains either significant code (in some programming language) or a &lt;em&gt;request&lt;/em&gt; for code in some specific language(s), it's clear that the querant understands that this is the domain of programmers or at least sysadmins, and not so much power users. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it were me, the original question you posted would've been voted close to migrate to SO, but the OP has already accepted an answer, so it's clear that the subject matter was in the area of expertise of SU users. It makes almost zero sense to migrate a question with an accepted answer to another site, especially if the user is completely satisfied with that answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Migration due to better-suitedness of a topic to SO is primarily reserved, in my mind, for questions that get very poor answers (or no answers at all) on SU, and for whom the subject matter is pretty clearly applicable to SO. And the question &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; be crap, either: electronic fecal matter only flows in one direction on the StackExchange network; from SO to other sites.... but if we do our job (and we generally do), &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; in the opposite direction.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2013-12-12T22:03:45.427" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you want to know how to use the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;regular expression&lt;/a&gt; API in, say, Java, that's topical for Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In between these extremes there are many overlaps and gray areas. In general, you will probably get &lt;em&gt;better answers&lt;/em&gt; about the nitty-gritty of binary file formats from Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow users (to say nothing of the fact that on Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow you have more people looking at your question than on the comparatively small Super&amp;nbsp;User). But, just because you get better answers there, doesn't mean it's off-topic for Super&amp;nbsp;User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, it might be on-topic for Super&amp;nbsp;User, but our user base might not have a great many people who are familiar enough with the subject to be able to answer efficiently without a lot of learning / googling on our part.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's generally a bad idea to simply ask some detail about a file format without saying how you intend to apply the knowledge you learn. Any question about the internals of a file format should have a strong pragmatic/practical tilt to it, which means, tell us how you're going to be using that information. Tell us, at a high level, what exactly you are trying to &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; with this file. Usually you can write this information in terms of the CRUD principles, by saying &quot;I'd like to &lt;em&gt;create&lt;/em&gt; this or that&quot;, or &quot;I'd like to &lt;em&gt;read&lt;/em&gt; this or that&quot;, and then tell us where you've previously looked up the reference for XYZ file format and ran into difficulty understanding it, etc. and what code you've written so far.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But remember, it's fairly likely to get closed or migrated if your question is just a pastie of &quot;real programmers' code&quot; asking people to fix your problem. &lt;em&gt;Conceptual&lt;/em&gt; questions are much more likely to be accepted here. Human-readable file formats, like XML, are also &lt;em&gt;extremely&lt;/em&gt; on-topic for Super&amp;nbsp;User, since many system administrators tend to deal with XML configuration files of various sorts, and they can be edited using a simple text editor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To close, I should obviously mention that we are not to discuss what is considered to be topical on Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow, on Meta Super User. Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow has &lt;em&gt;their&lt;/em&gt; topicality boundaries; Super&amp;nbsp;User has &lt;em&gt;our&lt;/em&gt; topicality boundaries; and the two are free to intersect (or not) however the respective communities please. Anything in my answer here that implies certain facts about Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow's topicality should be taken with a grain of salt, since I am not a significant participant on Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow. I can only accurately speak to the topicality of Super&amp;nbsp;User. If you have a question specifically about what is topical on Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow, ask it on Meta Stack Overflow.

In fact, you might not even &lt;em&gt;get&lt;/em&gt; an answer -- not a single comment -- on your question in such forums.

For instance, a user might want to do X when in fact Y might really solve their problem better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, what often actually happens when a person reveals &quot;What the actual problem being experienced is&quot; or &quot;the real world scenario behind the question&quot; is a redirection of the answer.

So perhaps it is a question of terminology here, the asker has something in mind and is using a vocabulary that some people will just understand, while others will not.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to the question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

Cloud is still basically a marketing word, barely a new concept. Some previously known mechanisms are typically used for the cloud concept: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;virtualization&lt;/a&gt; of CPU, RAM, storage and network, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;clustering&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;VMWare&lt;/a&gt; is a good example of resource virtualization manager on x86 platforms (the name often used is hypervisor). Long before VMWare, IBM invented &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_%28operating_system%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;VM-CP&lt;/a&gt; which has the same intent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Physical storage can be virtualized using a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_hypervisor&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;storage hypervisor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An hypervisor can be configured to manage multiple physical resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network) on different physical platforms, even different LANs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As soon as everything is virtual, then it is easy to create copies of virtual machines, virtual networks and virtual storage. It is also easy to create virtual resources on a pool of physical resources. Easy duplication allows for implementing quick backup, and restoration of a stored virtual resource is possible on another hardware under the control of the supervisor. This allows in turn to move virtual resources between the physical systems of the pool in case one goes down or is overloaded.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Creating a new resource can be done from an image of a machine (with predefined OS, middleware, and applications). Different images can coexist to create different virtual resources. Depending on what is part of the image, there are simple virtual machines without OS, with OS, with OS and middleware, with OS, middleware and applications, etc. Virtual machines are commonly referred by their somehow agreed types: &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16820336/what-is-saas-paas-and-iaas-with-examples&quot;&gt;IaaS, PaaS, SaaS&lt;/a&gt; (infrastructure, platform, software... as a service). Typically these resources are rented for a monthly fee to public (shared) or private (dedicated) cloud providers and paid &quot;as a service&quot; as long as they are used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Creating resources can be done using a simple interface, typically a web page, and the management of the virtual resources can be delegated to the end user. Creating a new virtual resource is called &quot;provisioning&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Today using a cloud commonly refers to the capability for the user to provision resources that exist on one or several physical platforms across a LAN or a WAN.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The idea that when it is &quot;on the cloud&quot; then you cannot know exactly where it is, because it is moving depending on current system load and failures, is not exact.

Examples would be a local hard drive, a plugged in USB drive, a plugged in external hard drive, a CD/DVD in the drive with raw file system files that can be seen and accessed through the file system at the moment (the drive has already been mounted), network storage (file servers, NAS, SAN, and Cloud Storage)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nearline Storage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is storage that needs to be first mounted (sometimes by a system administrator) in order to be accessible.  Examples include a USB or external drive not plugged, a Virtual Drive that must be loaded or mounted by a &lt;code&gt;Virtual Manager&lt;/code&gt; like &lt;code&gt;HyperV&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;VMWare&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;Oracle's VirtualBox&lt;/code&gt;, a &lt;code&gt;backup &amp;quot;Image&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; of partition or drive created by something like &lt;code&gt;Ghost&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;Acronis&lt;/code&gt;, a &lt;code&gt;.IMG&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;.ISO&lt;/code&gt; file image of a CD/DVD created with burning software that you then &lt;code&gt;MOUNT&lt;/code&gt; as online storage (if you use it to &lt;code&gt;BURN&lt;/code&gt; a DVD/DVD... then you are &lt;code&gt;RESTORING a BACKUP&lt;/code&gt; and in this way, it is &lt;em&gt;Offline Storage&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Offline Storage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is storage that resides in a &lt;strong&gt;backed-up&lt;/strong&gt; form.  That is, it's usually compressed, possibly encrypted, and possibly contains only the DELTA (changes) from the &lt;strong&gt;last backup&lt;/strong&gt;.

Cloud Storage data may be stored in one or more physical locations (e.g. datacenters) with pipes to the Internet&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Enterprise systems which constitute more than 80% of all data in actual storage, these concepts are staples as all Enterprises with large data needs, including Cloud Storage Provider like DropBox, or Box.net, or Google Drive all must manage their Storage for either internal and/or external use (as the Storage as a Service product/service that they provide to their customers).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, all enterprises use some combination of Online Storage, Offline Storage, and Nearline Storage on their &amp;quot;back-end&amp;quot; to manage, serve, and backup/ensure service continuity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition, a Cloud Storage Provider might have 1, 2, or all 3 forms of storage as part of a Storage Management strategy that allows the provider to do business... in his case, &lt;strong&gt;PROVIDE&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Cloud Storage&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As far as the consumer is concerned... this &lt;em&gt;Cloud Storage&lt;/em&gt; is online (because it's &amp;quot;immediately available&amp;quot; as long as it is available through his file system (with the use of a syncing desktop app) or even in an app or web interface, so long as that is the primary interface with which the user gets to all his files e.g. the user primarily uses a web browser/web apps (either on desktop, or they only have a Chromebook, let's say) to do work, such as Google Docs to create documents and stores and retrieves them on Google Drive or DropBox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, once again, in order for the &lt;em&gt;Cloud Storage Provider&lt;/em&gt; to provide the data &lt;em&gt;Storage As A Service&lt;/em&gt;, he may need to employ 1-3 forms of Storage (Online, Nearline, and/or Offline).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156834" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2014-01-27T16:09:07.860" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've gotten baffled by things such as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB13W3&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;13W3 video output&lt;/a&gt;, or even from some older &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SCSI&lt;/a&gt; ports in the past.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think that it's a slight case of overspecialisation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I also do think there's a certain degree of unsearchability, as @darthandroid said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the answer might be to have a single, canonical post for port identification, have some basic information there, and link-back, and close other posts as duplicates of that. It may make sense to have the information about specific ports, and where they are found as part of the answer, or simply to link back to them. This has two advantages, firstly, that we retain this information and secondly, it gives us a chance to organise and make searchable these things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't like &lt;em&gt;losing&lt;/em&gt; these questions.

It's far too much work to keep software recommendations updated and accurate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other thing you have to keep in mind is the software recommendation questions that you &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; see on this site are not strictly representative of what there would be if we changed this rule and allowed software-rec questions.

You can not put your own questions on hold. Only diamond moderators and those with the Close Vote privilege are able to put questions on hold.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you decide to abandon your question and you do not want to delete it, you can just leave it on the SE site you posted, and not take any action. Leaving the fate of the question up to the community in this way is generally fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question is a poor fit for the site or suffers from unfixable problems, it will likely be eventually closed and then later deleted. If the question is a good fit for the site, it will very likely receive some answers that are at least plausible, if not correct, unless the question is extremely niche -- niche questions may not get many answers or comments, but the existence of the question and the dearth of answers will at least allow people to find the question on Google and connect with other people who have the same problem in the comments, at the very least. So, having questions on the site with no &quot;easy&quot; answers is fine, if the questions don't have any quality problems that would make them a candidate for closure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that the function of &quot;accepting&quot; an answer serves an extremely minor role in the grand scheme of things on StackExchange, so you should not feel personally obligated to come back and accept an answer. The answer voting system is far more important for determining how valuable an answer is, than the singular opinion of the person who first asked the question. It is a common occurrence on SE for the original poster to find one answer helpful, and then 2 years later someone else posts a much more correct, more up-to-date answer that ends up receiving twice as many upvotes as the originally accepted answer. This is just how the site works. The green checkmark is not important (at all, in my opinion).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you find the answer to your question on a non-SE site later and you want to self-answer your question, you can do that, and it's perfectly allowed within the site rules. You're allowed to answer your own questions on StackExchange, and as long as you keep the quality bar high, we all appreciate your contribution to the community! :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can cross-post something from SE to a non-SE site or vice versa, that's fine, but please don't cross-post from one SE site to another; if your question is more suitable for another SE site, it can be migrated by flagging the question and requesting its migration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="144607" LastEditDate="2014-03-06T21:19:33.890" LastActivityDate="2014-03-06T21:19:33.890" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For instance, I've seen edits that have erroneously included other parts of a post in a code block that don't actually belong there. With HTML the closing &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tag would have to be moved manually, whereas with Markdown one can simply select those lines and click the &lt;kbd&gt;&lt;strong&gt;{ }&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/kbd&gt; button (or hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) to outdent them. Same applies to other elements as well, like lists (multi-level lists in particular are far easier to edit when they're formatted with Markdown).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The formatting toolbar also doesn't always properly work with HTML. For instance, if you try to format a &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; block as a blockquote (e.g. when the code is a part of longer text that has been copied from an external link), some of the lines can get mashed together. This doesn't happen when it's been formatted with Markdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/135909&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange sites allow a fairly limited subset of HTML tags&lt;/a&gt;. If, for whatever reason, an HTML tag is removed from that list (unlikely, but still), posts that use it might break. That's not really a concern with Markdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also worth noting is that the Markdown 4-space code block formatting doesn't render as &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, but as &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. I've seen some funky results when either tag is used without the other, and using Markdown avoids having to remember to type out both tags.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now I don't generally edit posts for the sole purpose of changing HTML to Markdown, especially when there are no visible formatting issues, but on occasion when I see someone consistently using HTML, I might decide to leave them a little note regarding this. I apologise if I was too terse in this particular case; I'll try to explain more thoroughly in the future. (I also don't quite recall why I didn't leave a comment. Perhaps it was an improve-and-accept on a suggested edit and I figured an edit summary would suffice.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: ah, I found &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/posts/733868/revisions&quot;&gt;the post in question&lt;/a&gt;.

Also, some of my answers is a mix from several other questions.

I would not continue doing that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; The way duplication tends to work is if the question asked can be answered by an answer from another question then the asked question can be marked as a duplicate of the other question. -- Wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Travis J&amp;gt; @RobertHarvey - Should I respond to you with no and leave it at that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; &amp;quot;This question has been asked before and already has an answer.&amp;quot; -- That's it. Says nothing about whether your question (if it's even a duplicate) is correctly answered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Travis J&amp;gt; @RobertHarvey - That isn't always the case. Many times questions are asked in different ways, sometimes in non-related ways, but have the same solution. Those questions are almost always closed as duplicates of the question which contains the solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; Doesn't mean that people are doing it correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Travis J&amp;gt; @RobertHarvey - I didn't mention it had to be correctly answered. I said that the answer there was an answer to the question posed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; The question also has to be a duplicate. It has to have been asked before. This is nothing new; question duplication has always been about duplicate questions, not duplicate answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Travis J&amp;gt; @RobertHarvey - I have seen moderators do it multiple times on mSO regardless of the question itself being duplicated because the answer linked in the duplicate question was an answer to the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; Only for canonical questions. That's the only exception. Canonical questions exist for the purpose of closing near-duplicates that are endlessly asked over and over, in slightly different variations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Robert Harvey&amp;gt; Here is a clarifying example. &amp;quot;What color is the sky?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;What color is my car?&amp;quot; Both questions have the same answer, but they're not duplicate questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Travis J&amp;gt; @RobertHarvey - Wow, great example.. ?

We believe that users' contributions should be accepted optimistically, unless we have a specific reason to suspect a particular user of bad behavior. Since anonymous users are &lt;em&gt;anonymous&lt;/em&gt;, we can't expect or anticipate anything of their behavior. Some people may think this gives them an unfair advantage, but actually it doesn't: the only way that an anonymous user's contributions could be met with prejudice is if that same user registered for an account, and persistently engaged in bad conduct on the site. Also, anonymous users miss out on a lot of benefits of registering and participating in the community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on what anonymous users are allowed to do, their role is fairly limited, but useful nonetheless. They have a similar role to anonymous Wikipedia editors who see an obvious typo in an article and decide to go in and edit it. The &quot;long tail&quot; of drive-by contributions from the Internet at large has been shown to be a useful and significant contributor to overall site quality, both on Wikipedia and here, and even in software development projects such as the Linux kernel (although a little more time, skill, and effort is required to get a patch merged into Linux).

The percentage changed is a poor metric of determining whether an edit is acceptable or not. For instance, if the formatting is very broken in someone's original post, an anonymous editor could decide to clean it up with proper markdown formatting, which could show up as a very high percentage of changed text in the post due to all the whitespace and markdown changes, grammar, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If none of the above have convinced you, consider this: Let suggested edit reviewers do their job.

If I disagreed with a policy in general, I would bring it up on Meta for further discussion with the community to determine whether it is a good idea to change it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I normally consider established policy to be a standard which should be followed as much as possible so that the community can rely on it. Moderators represent their communities, so I will always seek community input before making any major policy changes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;3.

What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A key part of being a moderator is to &lt;em&gt;moderate&lt;/em&gt; discussions among users, so dispute resolution is core to the job. There are many tools at the moderators' disposal to handle these situations, and I will use them judiciously.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the event an argument occurs, the first thing I would do is politely ask the users to stop arguing. I may delete any messages that are obviously offensive or are flagged by the community as such. Where chat or Meta are more appropriate venues for the discussion, I'll consider moving the comments and direct users to continue the discussion there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In more serious cases, I may delete some or all of the comments in the argument without them being flagged and move the discussion to Meta to obtain community input. I may also temporarily lock the post, but since locking the post prevents voting and other normal activity, I would prefer not to have to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where the subject of the dispute is of a borderline nature (such as a question which can be seen as both on- and off-topic), I will exercise caution in making a decision and may seek community input via Meta, knowing that the statements I make as a moderator can have a substantial long-term impact on the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, I will always treat users fairly and respectfully, because moderators set examples of how users should behave on the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;4.

How do you feel about that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;­­While there may have been a few missteps in posts I've previously made, I've always taken the quality and accuracy of my contributions very seriously. I fully understand that as moderator, my words can and will be seen as authoritative and representative of the community, so I will exercise added care when contributing content to Super User. It's an honor to have this opportunity for my work to truly shine and to represent the community I know and love.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;5.

Describe in a few sentences your personal view on the topicality rules of Super User, and how you might apply them as a moderator. You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most questions which in some way intrinsically involve a computer (whether a desktop, laptop, Windows 8 tablet, or home server) or equipment used primarily with computers (including keyboards, mice, printers, scanners and other peripherals) are on topic, with certain notable exceptions such as for questions primarily involving programming or shopping recommendations. Generally, questions about other devices such as smartphones and DVRs are off-topic unless a computer is integral to the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a question is mainly about a non-&quot;computer&quot; device but intrinsically involves a computer in a non-obvious way (which I've run into several times), I may edit the question to make it clearer that a computer is involved or post a comment advising users not to vote to close to avoid confusion. For devices which behave like traditional computers but differ in significant ways (such as PC-based embedded systems), I will generally decide based on whether the question is of a nature which can be accurately answered by the Super User community and how similar the device is to traditional computers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In borderline cases, such as using Python scripts to automate system maintenance or other administrative tasks, I will prefer not to move the question unless the community believes otherwise. Once again, I may use chat or Meta for community input before making a final decision.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;6. How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd probably start by posting a comment reply to one of that user's comments, like the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;@user, you've contributed great answers to Super User, but many of your recent comments have tended to be argumentative or were flagged by the community. We expect all users to be civil here, so please be nice and stay on topic. For guidance, see the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/behavior&quot;&gt;help center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the behavior continues after several similar comments have been made, I would send a moderator message to the user about the issue. As an (absolute) last resort, I may suspend the user for an appropriate period of time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's vital that users are treated fairly and respectfully throughout the process. As I've written in &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/192759&quot;&gt;this Meta Stack Exchange post&lt;/a&gt;, civility is expected of all users, whether beginner or veteran. It's my goal as moderator to be a role model and set an example of how we as a community should communicate to users, especially to newcomers who may not understand how the system works.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;7. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would bring it up in chat to discuss with the moderator who took that action to understand why the action was taken and see how the community feels about it. If the best action to take is still unclear, I'll solicit community input on Meta as appropriate. Of course, in the rare event the action was &lt;em&gt;obviously&lt;/em&gt; incorrect, I may act to reverse it before notifying the moderator who originally did so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;8. What will you do to breathe life back into &lt;s&gt;Kronos's&lt;/s&gt; the Super User Blog?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two major reasons for this issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blog hasn't been given much attention in the website UI. The only link to the blog is in the Stack Exchange dropdown box (the link in the footer goes to the Stack Exchange global blog). Given this lack of attention, it isn't very surprising that the blog has become idle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blog hasn't received any interesting posts recently. Given the lack of proper attention to the blog, this isn't very surprising either. In addition, because of the broad scope of Super User, it's hard to pick a particular topic to write on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main solution to this problem is to promote the blog. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/7438/community-promotion-ads-2014&quot;&gt;community promotion ads&lt;/a&gt; provide an ideal venue to do so. A Meta post about the blog and how we can get it running again would also be helpful, and I would include suggestions about good topics to write about (the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/heartbleed&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;heartbleed&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;heartbleed&lt;/a&gt; vulnerability, for example).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;9. A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The flags would be handled as appropriate, and I would try to notify the users involved through the global inbox and discuss the issue in an appropriate venue (chat would be ideal, but we are assuming neither user can use chat). If the flagging continues, or if the user cannot be reached by more appropriate means, I would probably send a moderator message to the user about how the content isn't offensive, based on the content in the profile and my interpretation of the rules. If the user continues to raise meritless flags, I may send another message giving a sterner warning or possibly suspend the user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;10. What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines?

Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At present, I would add a comment to the new user's post explaining the problem, then vote to close or flag as required. I maintain a set of boilerplate comments which I customize as required to politely and accurately notify the user about the issue, and plan to expand these comments as needs evolve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a moderator, I would continue to post such comments as before. Questions which should be closed will be closed immediately, but I won't delete them immediately unless completely unsalvageable. Answer posts that are not answers will be deleted quickly, but not before the user is notified about the issue through a comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For more systematic cases, I may ping the user through through the global inbox and, assuming the user has sufficient reputation, invite the user to chat so that I can more easily help the user as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All too often, questions are closed and answers deleted without users understanding what went wrong. I aim to ensure users understand &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; this was done so that they can avoid the same mistake in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions or comments about these responses, please let me know by posting a comment below.

One, the user asking the question (if they've clearly asked a good question, shown research effort, and is stuck) deserves to get connected with people that can answer their question well. Two, that question (and the answers that follow) should be in a place where it would best be reached by people who are looking to fix the same problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those two criteria are what I feel is the best measuring stick. If a question is flagged for migration, and it's in that thin grey area, my first concern would be connecting that user with the information they need.

Because the norms tend to work, and they're there for good reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Should I log on one day (as a mod) and discover that things changed, and I don't like those changes, my first step would be to ask fellow mod(s) why that particular practice is there. Perhaps there are things I'm not considering (after all, I'm human!). There could be hypotheticals that I haven't considered, and all it takes is someone pointing them out for things to click.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Should I still feel that a rule or practice should be changed, I would still voice that to my fellow mods and see if there's anyone that agrees. If so, I might foster some discussion to put that change into motion, or look into it further with people higher up the food chain for perspective. If anywhere along that chain of events my idea was not popular, I would probably drop it, because, as I said, usually established norms are there for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc). While many users discuss things civilly, some don't. What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, hey...I posed this question! And I asked it even thinking of a particular past discussion in mind. A user thought that a particular feature of the site was stupid. They misunderstood what it was used for, and were very strongly voicing their disapproval. It became a long, drawn-out back and forth that was getting nowhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Had I been a mod in that situation, I probably would have done close to what I had done as a regular user then. I invited the user to go to chat, and discussed it with him there. I did this because the discussion was meta, and didn't belong in comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In cases of trolling / arguing / ranting, certain cases obviously call for swift ban-hammer action. But in many cases, people simply disagree and aren't budging, or worse, voice that stubbornness in inappropriate ways. When that happens I would follow a three-step process: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dissolve or relocate the tension by moving to chat. This gets lengthy, distracting, and/or meta discussions out of comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look for resolution or compromise if it's practical or possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Encourage the user(s) to change their behavior, especially if it's habitual. Suggest to them ways that they can give back to the community, and if necessary, warn them of the consequences of their actions continuing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I've grown used to this community, I've made it a habit to go back through my questions, answers and comments and judged it as objectively as possible. If something I posted was challenged, downvoted or otherwise commented on, I try my best to see the other person's side of things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A couple times, I've deleted answers or questions when factual issues were challenged or if someone pointed out problems. At the end of the day, I don't want misinformation coming from me, and I want my discussions to be relevant and helpful. I'm confident that what I've posted on that site has been at least my best attempt at those things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question. Describe in a few sentences your personal view on the topicality rules of Super User, and how you might apply them as a moderator. You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When evaluating a question's topicality, my first priorities are providing the OP with as much helpful information as I can. Ultimately I want to make a decision as to whether or not the question is on-topic, and get that person's inquiry either to become on-topic through edits or moved somewhere that someone can help them. &lt;strong&gt;Closing a question and not giving them any information isn't helping anyone.&lt;/strong&gt; And as I stated in my answer to the first question, the ultimate goal of Stack Exchange is to connect people with helpful information, &lt;em&gt;not to create strict, frustrating dead-end roads&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would apply this by encouraging users to edit their post if I feel it can be further pushed out of the grey area and into the realm of on-topicness. If I feel it's a better fit for another SE site, I'll migrate it, because they (and other people) deserve to get good information. At the very least, I'll explain to the user how they should best proceed to get their question to better fit. I refuse to close a question and not provide any info as to why it's closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Firstly, talk to them. It's not my job to be a therapist, but I would certainly be willing to talk to a user and understand where it is their coming from.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, I would argue to them that there's a reason why their upvoted content is valuable and why their flagged content is harmful. If you can get someone to recognize that they are rewarded for good behavior and not-so-much for bad behavior, they might do less of the latter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Every situation is different, and the outcome will depend on the willingness of the user to cooperate and be respectful. In cases where the user ignores the warnings, it might be necessary to sacrifice their steady stream of good answers/questions to prevent them from picking fights. We want people to like coming to Super User, not think of us as a community that tolerates jerks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the same time I would be happy to see a user change and become a valuable member of the community, contributing both helpful questions/answers and engaging in relevant discussion. I would do the most I can to encourage that to happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Firstly, I would talk to the fellow mod. See their side of the story, because perhaps I didn't consider certain points. If I still felt they were wrong, I would politely explain why and ask them what they think about my assessment. If at the end of the discussion we were still at odds, I would weight two options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the long run, one question is not the end of the world. If a mod closed a question because they legitimately felt it should have been, I would probably give them the benefit of the doubt and pick my battles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this became a habitual problem with one mod in particular, I would probably voice my concerns with either another mod or someone higher up (if there are such people to talk to). See what they think and get advice on what to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I felt the mod in question was closing questions because of bad intentions (for instance, doing it to get back at a user or otherwise causing trouble), I would speak to someone higher up and point out the behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What will you do to breathe life back into my the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll be as transparent as I can - I didn't know about &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://blog.superuser.com&lt;/a&gt; until it was pointed out in the questionnaire collection! I've spent the last few days reading and one idea in particular comes into mind.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems that a majority of the blog entries are posted by regular users (as far as I can tell). Why not get people from other tech media sources to write up posts? Super User isn't a gated community, and I'm sure people from other blogs would love to contribute. It would also be great if we could interview tech startups or celebs and get some of their perspective on technology topics. If we already do this, well let's do it more!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, I think it would be good to regularly select questions (not necessarily popular ones) and dive deeper into discussion about the technologies in question. As a novice in quite a few fields, I love exploring the inner workings of things I use every day.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thirdly, I asked myself &quot;why is it that I've never heard of the blog?&quot;. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to when it's mentioned, but I never knew it was there. Let's promote it, link to it in the navbar, post it on the SU twitter feed and point people to it wherever we can!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before I give my own uninformed answer, I would first say that I would follow whatever protocol the mods have in place for the situation :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the content didn't appear to be at all offensive (and there's no way that I can construe it to be), I would wait until both users were available to explain the issue. I wouldn't delete the content if it wasn't against the rules, and especially if I can't find a reason as to why it would be offensive. The deleting of the content could be seen by others as hasty and intrusive, and that's not how we should operate. If the flags continued beyond that decision, I would explain to the user that the flags are invalid based on my assessment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I could see the content as being offensive, I would probably get another mod's perspective before taking any action. If they could construe it that way as well, I would remove the content until the user it belongs to was available to explain it. I would only take this action if it was clear that the content could reasonably be seen as offensive. It would have to be obvious, in which case I think deleting the content would be appropriate. But followup and clear communication would be absolutely necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all? For the purposes of this question, you may assume that the new user is not posting something worthy of the &quot;Spam&quot; or &quot;Offensive&quot; flags; that would make the question too easy to answer ;) Instead, just imagine that the new user has posted an answer with quality problems, or asked a question in an &quot;Answer&quot; post, or asked a question that has been asked many times before and is widely duplicated -- something along those lines. Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At one point, we were all new somewhere, and we all know it's frustrating to go somewhere new for help and to not get what we expected. When a new user comes along, a priority of mine would be to make them feel welcome. This increases the chances of them sticking around and contributing useful content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But it is just as high of a priority to make sure they don't make a habit of posting content that doesn't fit or is of low quality. This takes patient and polite explanation of how we work. Because of the traffic that SU gets, we get a lot of new questions from a lot of new people, and a lot of them need some work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My approach is to direct them to the help center, because first of all, that's what it's for. New users might have no idea what the help center is or that it's there. They might be the kind of person that simply has to read it once and they understand what needs to change in their question/answer, and they make the change. I also invite them to ask questions on meta if they don't understand a rule or practice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An example would be something I see a lot: a question is quickly closed because it's a software recommendation. If I noticed that the user was brand spanking new, I would welcome them, give them a brief explanation as to &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; that is off-topic, and how they can get help if they modify their question. At the end of the day both me and that new user want the same thing: a good answer to their question. But the question needs to be of a certain caliber before the answers come, and if I can communicate that effectively, we all win!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully I've answered everything as clearly as I can. If I can clarify anything, please comment and let me know!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user201262" LastEditorDisplayName="user201262" LastEditDate="2014-04-29T02:39:46.047" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T02:39:46.047" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />
  <row Id="7942" PostTypeId="2" ParentId="7938" CreationDate="2014-04-28T22:19:48.420" Score="3" Body="&lt;p&gt;I'll &lt;em&gt;try&lt;/em&gt; to keep this brief.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;1) Super User's broad scope overlaps with several other Stack Exchange sites, including but not limited to Ask Different, Ubuntu, Server Fault, Unix &amp;amp; Linux, Software Recs, and others. How do you intend to handle issues of scope overlap? How would you handle a flag suggesting that a question about OS X be migrated to Apple.SE, or a question about bash migrated to U&amp;amp;L?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On-topic is on-topic for SU, despite it also being on-topic for other SE sites. That being said, if a question is a &lt;em&gt;better fit&lt;/em&gt; for another site &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; it's had an appropriate amount of time to be addressed by the SU community (and hasn't been successfully answered), I see no reason not to migrate it. After all, the entire SE network is about helping solve problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2) Stack Exchange has established quite a few norms over the last years, which dictate the default action to be taken in several situations. After a few weeks of moderating, you find yourself in strong disagreement with one of these policies. Would you take different actions and deviate from the norm based on your personal assessment of the situation, or would you follow the established rules in order to keep the moderation coherent? If you thought a policy needed changing, how would you approach that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the key to this sort of conflict is &lt;strong&gt;communication&lt;/strong&gt;. The need to understand &lt;em&gt;why it's the norm&lt;/em&gt; is just as important as &lt;em&gt;what the norm is&lt;/em&gt;. If there is a legitimate reason to re-evaluate a standard that's been established, it's best to be brought up with the other moderators (or even the community as a whole) to determine what the best course of action is for the site, going forward. There is little need to deviate from a norm without first coming to a consensus as &lt;strong&gt;consistency is key&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3) Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc). While many users discuss things civilly, some don't. What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am a firm believer in &lt;strong&gt;eliminating noise&lt;/strong&gt; from the site. Anything that detracts from the issue and the information presented is &lt;em&gt;noise&lt;/em&gt; and has no place in a Q&amp;amp;A format. Legitimate discussion is healthy! But acting in any way that isn't civil is &lt;em&gt;noise&lt;/em&gt; no matter how correct or accurate the argument is; &lt;strong&gt;how you say something is just as important as what it is that you're saying&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;4) A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I &lt;em&gt;feel&lt;/em&gt; like it's an incredible responsibility to be seen in that sort of light within the SE community. While I may not like it, that's just how it is. That being said, I think it makes users with the diamond stop and think twice before making a snarky comment when having a bad day. You can never participate without the diamond, so there are some discussions you may want to stay out of as to avoid your personal opinion being interpreted as the &lt;em&gt;official opinion&lt;/em&gt;. Being cognizant of what this diamond means is an important aspect of acting as a moderator. Personally, as this is a username that can be pretty directly tied to my real identity (e.g. LinkedIn on my profile), I always try to act professionally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;5) Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question.

You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The simplest version of my answer is that &lt;strong&gt;topicality is decided by the community as a whole&lt;/strong&gt;. If a question is generating good information and is useful to a large audience, I tend to side with the community in saying that something is &lt;em&gt;on-topic&lt;/em&gt;. There seem to be more cases of topicality boundaries being pushed as SU gets more exposure in the &lt;em&gt;network hot topics&lt;/em&gt; feature and I think those questions have been given the benefit of the doubt by current moderators. While my personal opinion may be that these are off-topic, the community has spoken and these have remained open until their utility has expired. I think this is a good way to handle these particular cases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;6) How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think everyone contributes in their own way to this community. If a user is creating a lot of &lt;em&gt;noise&lt;/em&gt; surrounding their other contributions, the noise must be eliminated. Communicating with the user and explaining what the issues are should go a long way in helping the user to understand &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; they may be able to modify their behavior to avoid additional penalties.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;7) How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would approach the mod to understand &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; the decision was made and hopefully come to understand the decision. I would voice my disagreement if the decision was made with no real support, otherwise I would simply explain my position and hopefully expand both of our understandings. I would not go against another mod publicly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;8) What will you do to breathe life back into the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Honestly, twice (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/12835387#12835387&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/14927146#14927146&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;) I've left messages in the blog chat room without response and I'm not entirely sure why the drop-off in activity with it. I think without some sort of activity, users feel uninspired about creating content that may or may not be used in the blog. By having more activity in the chat room, contributors will feel more comfortable with putting time and effort into content and more willing to bounce ideas off one-another in an attempt to breathe life back into the blog. As indicated in my attempts to get involved, I'm more than willing to help out with the blog &lt;em&gt;without&lt;/em&gt; a diamond by my name.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;9) A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the flags are unsupported, they would be dealt with as usual. I would contact the flagging user to explain the decision that's been made and hopefully clear up any misunderstandings before additional penalties are required.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;10) What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines?

Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A lot of new users are overwhelmed or confused by the Q&amp;amp;A format - they are used to forums. Taking the time out to link them to the relevant help and explain &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; the site works can go a long way in making them feel welcomed rather than pushing them to simply find another avenue to solve their problems. As a diamond, I would need to take the extra time to make sure the information they need is provided to them and the &lt;strong&gt;tone&lt;/strong&gt; of the delivery is not condescending or too harsh. A lot of users &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to participate in the right way, but get scared off by the &lt;strong&gt;tone&lt;/strong&gt; of those trying to guide them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="116196" LastActivityDate="2014-04-28T22:19:48.420" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I do believe the current convention is that the person asking the question should be the one who initiates a migration by flagging, in any case. I'd ask myself a few simple questions - is the question already on the other site (no point migrating a dupe), does it have sufficient quality and can it be fixed up to improve on that, and whether the potential migration target is the best place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2) Stack Exchange has established quite a few norms over the last years, which dictate the default action to be taken in several situations.

Personally, I think the right way is to first bring it up with my fellow mods, with the view to bringing it up on meta. While bringing it up on meta, I'd make it clear this is a personal view, and I'd like to change the moderation norms from the current standard.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3) Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc).

I'd also probably wait till interest died down/mention I'll be doing it, merge anything that belongs on the post proper into the post, and clean up the comment thread.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If an argument is getting too heated, I'd politely suggest so, and let folk know they ought to calm down  - the exact mechanism would depends on the wider context&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;4) A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've never actually allowed my actions to be dictated towards a possible political career (or a mod election). I tend to say what I think, try to be nice and polite, and try not to say anything I'll regret later. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I get a diamond, it ought to be for &lt;em&gt;precisely&lt;/em&gt; those things, and the soft power I've earned through it anyway. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;5) Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question.

You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the unique things about superuser for me is that topicality is something that has evolved over time. For example, in the early days, software recommendations are on topic - currently they arn't though there's a workaround by asking them in context of a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd look at the overall quality, and whether the question contributes to the body of knowledge as a whole when trying to decide how strict one needs to be about topicality rules. While I do believe they're necessary, and essential for maintaining the focus of the site, there's always exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In some cases as a &lt;em&gt;user&lt;/em&gt; I've mildly disagreed with some topicality rules, spoke against them on meta, shrugged and moved on. With powers of &lt;strike&gt; life and death &lt;/strike&gt; being able to close a question, in most cases, where I think I can rely on the community to decide, I'll likely leave it with them, except in a case where something is clearly, explicitly, and completely off topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;6) How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think that fact that he's a valuble user shouldn't majorly colour my opinion here. They ought to be handled like anyone else in the same situation - flags on their own merits, and comments for what they are. I do find on occasion arguments dig up things that the original posts may have missed. If its pure noise though, I'd clear them up and let the user know, politely,  that his posts are rather controversial.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd also add there have been such users in the past, in my opinion, and quite a few left the site on their own. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;7) How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll talk to the mod directly about it - mods arn't infallible, and knowing the reasoning behind the closure would help understand why and when to close things. If the mod changes his mind, great, otherwise you'd have a better idea of how that mod handles those situations&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;8) What will you do to breathe life back into &lt;strike&gt;Kronos's&lt;/strike&gt; the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Write. I'm having &lt;em&gt;major&lt;/em&gt; writer's block, but the only real way to get the SU blog back on track is to actually contribute to it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;9) A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mods can superping. If the content isn't something that a reasonable individual - in this case the mods, or other users find offensive I'd reject the flag with an appropriate reason, and superping the user who was flagged. If there's a constant stream of flags, and they keep getting rejected, I'll probably end up sending a mod message to the flagger explaining in detail. A superping is public, and telling someone else someone else flagged his post would be a bad idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;10) What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all? For the purposes of this question, you may assume that the new user is not posting something worthy of the &quot;Spam&quot; or &quot;Offensive&quot; flags; that would make the question too easy to answer ;) Instead, just imagine that the new user has posted an answer with quality problems, or asked a question in an &quot;Answer&quot; post, or asked a question that has been asked many times before and is widely duplicated -- something along those lines. Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tend to handle things in a fairly standard manner. I tend to welcome them to the site, mention its not a forum, politely tell them where they went wrong, and reference them to the help site. This usually works well enough that some of my comments have possibly been adopted for per forma scripts. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10165" LastEditorUserId="10165" LastEditDate="2014-04-29T15:33:55.293" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T15:33:55.293" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

How do you intend to handle issues of scope overlap? How would you handle a flag suggesting that a question about OS X be migrated to Apple.SE, or a question about bash migrated to U&amp;amp;L?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Superuser already has a strong policy of not migrating questions when they are on-topic for multiple sites.  That policy is sensible in that it allows a user to feel comfortable posting where they are most familiar, so in most cases of scope overlap I would simply leave the question where it is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the case where a flag is suggesting that a question be moved then I would most likely follow current policy and leave the question as is unless that flag was raised by the question poster themselves. I would expect the poster to raise that sort of flag as a result of them being told by one of our community members that migration may benefit their question as it may be better suited on another site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that case the migration makes sense, the user experience continues to be good, he is aware that we are not simply moving his question &quot;for the sake of it&quot; and his and everyone else's experience remains to a good one.  We end up with one new user happy on two sites&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Stack Exchange has established quite a few norms over the last years, which dictate the default action to be taken in several situations. After a few weeks of moderating, you find yourself in strong disagreement with one of these policies. Would you take different actions and deviate from the norm based on your personal assessment of the situation, or would you follow the established rules in order to keep the moderation coherent? If you thought a policy needed changing, how would you approach that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the first instance I would always follow current policy and try to maintain experience for the users of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the background though I would consult with other moderators as to the reasons for the policy and how they felt about them.  I would try to discuss  how I felt about the policy and how I thought it could be improved.  If reception with the other moderators was good then I would ask if we thought that policy could be changed and possibly start canvassing the wider audience, potentially involving the larger community via either the chat rooms or meta.Superuser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If overall reception was good then I would continue to look towards changing the policy or behaviours in more official ways.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short I would try to work with other moderators and the community to change or update a policy, I would not simply assume that I know best and work independently or against the wishes or interests of the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc). While many users discuss things civilly, some don't. What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I saw an argument or disagreement beginning in the comments section I would suggest that the chat rooms may be a better place to discuss their points of view but that they should try to keep their comments civil to each other.  I would monitor the conversation to ensure it does not further degrade and try to keep the discussion civil if possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the argument got worse I would attempt to encourage both users to drop the matter for now and come back when they have calmed down.  If it had moved to a chat room then I would potentially lock and close the room if it got particularly aggressive, before that happened though I would try my best to reason with the two users and calm them down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All being well the situation should pass rather simply as an exchange of opinions on chat without further sidetracking or discussion on the original question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While I am sure that have on occasion been terse or overly jovial I am on the whole happy with how I have behaved and do not believe that having a diamond attached will significantly alter the interpretation of my answers or comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The idea that my comments will be seen differently due to a diamond makes me slightly apprehensive, but I still stand by what I have said and done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question. Describe in a few sentences your personal view on the topicality rules of Super User, and how you might apply them as a moderator. You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the topicality rules are quite clear as to what is on and off-topic on Superuser though there is often overlap. It is often the case that a webserver question or domain networking question could be on topic both here and on ServerFault but as the help centre clearly states we do not deal with corporate IT support or networks.  It is a fine line for a question to take and it would depend on the question itself as to whether I felt it needed migration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question was regarding a very specific problem with a piece of software that many &quot;casual&quot; users are likely to see then I would leave the question here, if it is only likely to be seen in a corporate network environment then I would most likely migrate it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Every question is different though and would have to be treated on a case by case basis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From a moderation perspective I would deal with each of the flags on a one-by-one basis and not let previous experience affect how I deal with the flags from the user.  The flagging system has safeguards in place that would eventually trigger and restrict the user in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the short term though I would try to contact the user through chat or other means that may be available to try and discuss their habits and try to provide advice as to how they might better interact with the community. I would try to reason with them and talk through why some of the things they are doing might be counter-productive and how they affect their standing in the community as well as potential long term ramifications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the first instance I would contact the moderator who closed the question and ask why.  I would discus why it was closed or deleted and why I think that should not have happened. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it was simply a mistake then we would reopen or undelete the question and take any necessary action to apologise or clarify the mistake to the user(s) involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it was not a mistake but was intentional then we would come to a mutual agreement as to how to deal with the question.  Hopefully we would be able to agree the future of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If that moderator was not available then I would try to discuss it with another moderator if I felt that more immediate action were required.  Hopefully time would allow me to speak with the original moderator, but sometimes we all have other commitments or are otherwise unavailable and the other members of the team should be able to help work out a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would not simply re-open the question and put the moderator in the position of having to explain themselves to the community at large.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What will you do to breathe life back into &lt;strike&gt;Kronos's&lt;/strike&gt; the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The blog is one of parts of the site that is under-used and not as visible as it needs to be.  I would like to see it better integrated into Superuser culture and life.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is though that a blog is a hard thing to tie into the fluid nature of the main site.  We used to have Question of the Week (QotW) which was interesting and useful, but questions move too quickly and often it is difficult to choose a question that will have enough meat to make a post yet not so much that it becomes irrelevant before it gets posted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would be good to use it to discuss StackExchange wide changes that affects Superuser specifically but that would not interest the majority of users.  It could also be seen as simply parroting the main Stackexchange blog which would not be constructive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regular competitions would be good but again the problem is choosing topics that would involve or interest the community at large.  We covered the Windows 8 release with sitewide games, but they were gone quickly and had nothing to replace them with.  Maybe we need to think more seasonal and have Easter egg hunts and Christmas raffles and things.  The problem is always going to be keeping it current and topical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are always software manufacturers looking to get their products reviewed, but we don't want the blog to simply end up as a &quot;free software review&quot; site.  The same goes for hardware.  A very tight line would have to be walked to keep the site relevant if we allowed reviews for these sorts of things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would like to see the blog return to prominence and actually see a link to it on the main site, but this would take a significant investment of time and planning and involvement at all levels of the community from the new users right up through the chain to those who hold overall power over the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It can be done but before anything could really be started we would need to look a lot more at where we want to take the blog and what we need to get there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have some ideas, and want to see the blog rise up once again but there isn't going to be a cure-all bullet that fixes everything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am sure that I have previously seen that flags can be responded to with personalised comments, I would in the first instance attempt to use this to let the user know why the content is not considered to be against site rules.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the activity continued then I would try to suggest via a comment on a recent answer or comment, if they were harassing the user via comments, by the user asking them to contact me to discuss the situation.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all?

Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We often get questions or answers which are severely lacking in detail. Either the questions do not describe the problem in enough detail or the answers simply link to other sites without describing what the information at the other end of the link will achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As it stands at the moment I often rely on a script to inject comments such as &quot;Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also encourage users via the generic responses available in the /review tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For questions I try to leave a list of questions that will help clarify the the question so that it is more easily answerable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are perfectly good tools that are useful to give new users an idea of what they are doing wrong but as a diamond moderator I feel that this could be a bit too &quot;impersonal&quot;. I would make a conscious effort to make more helpful comments and describe what can be done to improve the question or answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastEditorUserId="19943" LastEditDate="2014-04-29T18:48:10.077" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T18:48:10.077" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So, in most cases, the flag would declined, though there are certainly times when it makes sense to migrate a question to a different site where it is on topic, particularly when it is not attracting people capable of answering it on the more general site. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2) Stack Exchange has established quite a few norms over the last years, which dictate the default action to be taken in several situations.

If you thought a policy needed changing, how would you approach that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best approach to being in disagreement with a policy is to recuse one's self from matters where it applies.  There are other moderators who presumably don't have strong opinions on the matter who will be able take more impartial actions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to changing the policy, the option in the same as it's always been: &lt;strike&gt;waste&lt;/strike&gt; spend time writing up your opinion and supporting evidence, post it on meta.stackexchange.com and wait for it to be downvoted, ignored, closed as a duplicate, or some combination of the three.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3) Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc). While many users discuss things civilly, some don't. What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most important thing is to stop the argument.  This would generally involve leaving a comment telling the participant to behave themselves, locking the inciting post temporarily, removing the comments, and then doling out whacks from the modhammer as appropriate, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/&quot;&gt;the primary tool being a temporary suspension&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, as we see in that blog post, the penalty box is viewed in StackExchange as a chance for a user to learn from their mistakes and come back better for the experience, so I would do everything I could to make a sure user knows why they got sin-binned.  Instead of, for example, saying:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your account is being suspended for [X days] because of the [your remarks here], in which you acted like a massive jackass &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The proper approach would be something along the lines of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your account is being suspended for [X days] because of the [your remarks here], which are inappropriate on Stack Exchange.  You should consider using the time to consult with a qualified mental health professional in your area to resolve your apparent personality disorder before participating on SuperUser again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this way, the offending user knows both &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; they got in trouble in the first place, and has possible actions he or she can take to address the root of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;4) A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can't say I care in the slightest.  It was right when I said it without a diamond, it's right with a diamond applied retroactively.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;5) Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question. Describe in a few sentences your personal view on the topicality rules of Super User, and how you might apply them as a moderator. You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Computer hardware, software and networking are on topic on SuperUser, excluding programming, video games and console, websites and webservices, mobile devices, IT infrastructure and shopping questions/product recommendations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would apply those rules by ruthlessly hunting down and closing off-topic threads and reveling in the slaughter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;6) How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Possibly by deleting the offending comments, if warranted, possibly by telling the comment flaggers to stop being such overly-sensitive weenies, if warranted.  When it gets right down to it, without the people who provide the valuable answers, Stack Exchange is just a bunch of people asking for help and not getting it.  The content is what matters, both in terms of Stack Exchange's footprint on Google, (and its resulting ad revenue) and in terms of being able to attract a community of experts or power users.  If someone who doesn't contribute has a problem with comments from someone who does, well, that non-contributing person can piss off back to &lt;em&gt;Yahoo! answers&lt;/em&gt;, as they have no value to the site anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;7) How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would head over to the mod chat room and explain to them why they are wrong, and work out the best way to undo their wrongness.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;8) What will you do to breathe life back into Kronos's the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Raise community awareness and contribute.  It's a self-reinforcing cycle - the more awareness there is, the greater the likelihood of attracting quality contribution, and the more quality contributions there are, the more awareness there will be of it, so jump-start that cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;9) A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would send a moderator message to the flagging user to inform them that 1) the content is not against the rules, 2) I don't respond well to demands 3) I am getting annoyed by their frivolous flags and 4) I ban things that annoy me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would also try to work in something about how this flagging user could improve themselves, though I don't have any bookmarked articles on &quot;not being a whiny bitch&quot;... therefore, if elected, I would remedy that and find some resources on how not to be a whiny bitch, so that I could assist any users I would interact with who are suffering from the problem of being a whiny bitch.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;10) What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all? For the purposes of this question, you may assume that the new user is not posting something worthy of the &quot;Spam&quot; or &quot;Offensive&quot; flags; that would make the question too easy to answer ;) Instead, just imagine that the new user has posted an answer with quality problems, or asked a question in an &quot;Answer&quot; post, or asked a question that has been asked many times before and is widely duplicated -- something along those lines. Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My current approach is to ignore such users.  When particularly bad, a flag/VTC and downvote are &quot;awarded&quot; to the post in question.  As a moderator, I would be held to a higher standard, and would do my best to inform and punish/correct such users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First off, I would throw a downvote on the post and add a comment.  The downvote, of course, serves to feed the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/86997&quot;&gt;auto-ban algorithm that cuts off low-quality contributors from spraying more of their crap around the site&lt;/a&gt;.  Then I would dispose of the post as appropriate (closing it, converting it to a comment, protecting the other users from being afflicted by it with a deletion, whatever).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, much like with my answer to question 3, the comment would serve to inform and offer suggestions at improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Users who use answers for things that are not answers would be informed of their error, offered a handy link/definition of the meaning of the word &quot;answer&quot; and be advised to consult their nearest elementary school teacher for more information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People who seem to believe that posting here is the same as sending a txt message to their BFF would be advised that we are not, in fact, a gaggle of tween girls, given a link to a spell checker, and advised that their manner of discourse makes them look moronic.  Depending on whether the low quality is due to stupidity or laziness, I would then be able to provide the poster helpful tips on improving their mental functioning (mental exercise, certain foods, education services, etc.) or tackling their motivation/misinformed opinion that SuperUser is their mother and will clean up their crap.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People who seem to have managed to avoid reading the help center or topicality guidelines will be informed that this is their error, and directed to helpful resources to address their problem - &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hookedonphonics.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;programs to help them learn to read&lt;/a&gt;, programs to help the victims of adult illiteracy, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For egregious cases, I may just skip ahead, nuke their crap, smack them with a suspension, and send a moderator message at them to correct their impression that I'm willing to tolerate people flinging feces around like ill-behaved monkeys, and direct them to quality animal trainers who may have success in helping them stop that behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And of course, between the auto-ban algorithm and the mod-hammer, I'm confident that we'd experience a sharp decline in problems with repeat offenders of community standards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="148034" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T11:21:57.723" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

After a few weeks of moderating, you find yourself in strong disagreement with one of these policies. Would you take different actions and deviate from the norm based on your personal assessment of the situation, or would you follow the established rules in order to keep the moderation coherent? If you thought a policy needed changing, how would you approach that?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would be something that I would discuss with other moderators in the hopes that they can help me understand why it is done this way.  I am sure that there won't be an instance where this occurs with me, but if there is I am sure that there are steps to follow that will allow me to voice my opinion to the rest of the moderators and put it up for discussion to either explain it in a way that I understand or make changes where necessary (based on whatever concepts of problem resolution are already put in place to handle these situations)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Question #9&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would reject the flag with my reasoning, and if the flags continue from said user I would attempt to engage them in discussion on the issue in chat by superpinging them into chat where others (probably moderators) could also help the user understand what is going on and why there flags are being rejected.  another possibility is a Meta post where the community can ring in on the situation, after all this is a community built by it's members and moderators are really just Exception Handlers for things that can't be resolved by the community through communication and understanding.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Question #1&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Super User's broad scope overlaps with several other Stack Exchange sites, including but not limited to Ask Different, Ubuntu, Server Fault, Unix &amp;amp; Linux, Software Recs, and others.

Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know that having that diamond will add extra weight to my responses to users questions or even my own questions, but I don't think that I would do anything to disgrace the Superuser community or give it a bad name,  I think that everything that I have said was polite and helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think there needs to be a change in the way that I carry myself via questions, answers, comments and chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do feel that I may need to be a little more cautious about typing things out before reading the question a second or third time,  but everyone has those kinds of days.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Question #6&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;Follow them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, seriously though I would try to gently nudge the user to not do the things that are generating the flags,  the arguments may be something that require warning messages, a &amp;quot;cool down&amp;quot; period, or just a friendly comment on whatever it is that is causing the issue whether it be a comment itself, a question, an answer, whatever.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The big thing is that every situation and individual is different and will require different means of intervention to calm the issue to where the individual is in a state where they will respond well to advice(correction, whatever you want to call it)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We are all here to Learn (or make big rep and look good doing it, you people know who you are) and no one can do that if people are upset with each other, calming the situation and understanding is what needs to happen sometimes, and other times a &amp;quot;Time Out&amp;quot; is needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Trolls will be pushed in front of oncoming trains.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Question #10&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all? For the purposes of this question, you may assume that the new user is not posting something worthy of the &amp;quot;Spam&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Offensive&amp;quot; flags; that would make the question too easy to answer ;) Instead, just imagine that the new user has posted an answer with quality problems, or asked a question in an &amp;quot;Answer&amp;quot; post, or asked a question that has been asked many times before and is widely duplicated -- something along those lines. Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;New users are the people that will keep this site alive so I take this kind of thing very seriously and hope to make learners and avid users out of every new user that I come across.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each of these situations has occurred in the past I am sure, so there are probably many meta posts for these circumstances with which in addition to a brief explanation can help guide a user to understanding why we do things the way that we do on Superuser (and StackExchange).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Earlier today brand new user posted a good answer that lacked meat, it only carried a link with it,  it was sitting at -2 vote count.  normally I don't like to change other peoples answers because that isn't how we do it on SO or CR, but I was able to find a SU.Meta post that says it is allowed here,  so I went to the link and grabbed the information that the user wanted the OP to see and added it to the answer in a nice logical fashion,  this showed the user what we are looking for in an answer and also gave them some Rep in the process so that they aren't a 1 Rep User anymore.  Things like this help people feel good about them selves and help the community grow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="162960" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T17:53:29.393" CommentCount="12" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For those that are &lt;strong&gt;on topic&lt;/strong&gt; on both sites, I would leave it here, unless the OP requests a migration due to not having answers here. Yes, we are Super Users, but we can't answer everything as well as specific professionals in certain other sites; I know I can't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Stack Exchange has established quite a few norms over the last years, which dictate the default action to be taken in several situations.

If you thought a policy needed changing, how would you approach that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, the great thing about being a mod on another site (Freelancing) is that there are specific rules and protocols to follow. I like having what I need laid out, in black and white. For the grey areas, that's where the Meta is for. On FL, we had made many rule changes based on what the community wanted, and thought would attract more and more professionals. It's not as large as Super User, but it's still in its beta, and growing more and more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Super User is a community of people, and often people disagree (whether on the topicality of the question, correctness of an answer, etc). While many users discuss things civilly, some don't. What is your approach on handling arguments that get out of hand, or are distracting from the original topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does it help the question? No? Fine, get rid of it. We are not here for personal squabbles in the questions. Save it for chat, or out of the SE network. If I  had issues with a user, and I am &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a moderator yet, Chat is the best place to discuss it, even if it's in a private room. As a Mod, I know there are other ways to discuss it, but they are only used for the most &lt;em&gt;extreme&lt;/em&gt; of purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the information is being challenged as factual, and the person challenging says it's incorrect without offering any improvement, I would ask for them to cite a quality source (i.e. Microsoft, Apple, etc) before taking further action. Again, not everyone knows everything, but I like knowing I can back up almost all of my answers with sources, if required. Typically, I have in the past, and I don't see any reason why asking for a source to cite on certain issues would be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I will not really change my posting habits. I have a diamond on another site, and people still treat me as a regular user, in regards to voting. I understand there are many users on this site with more reputation than I, but I'm not here for that. I'm here to try to make the site a better place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Topicality (that is, whether a question is on-topic or off-topic for the site) is broadly described in the Help Center, but there are often questions that test the boundaries of the topicality guidelines, causing some users to disagree on the topicality of a question. Describe in a few sentences your personal view on the topicality rules of Super User, and how you might apply them as a moderator. You may cite other content on the network as a reference for your answer, but answer in your own words.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, let's take a specific example: software recommendations! Many issues we see here could be solved if only the perfect program was made for it! In fact, I used to support &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/209999/flow-chart-software-for-linux/349578#349578&quot;&gt;software recommendations&lt;/a&gt; in SU questions, and I argued on chat, tooth and nail, that they should be allowed! But, understanding how the SE model is, I can understand why it would decrease the value of the site as a whole. There were many lengthy Meta discussions about it, but the important part is that it &lt;em&gt;involved the community&lt;/em&gt; (and SE staff). Does that mean the rule can't change &lt;em&gt;in the future&lt;/em&gt;? Not necessarily, but understanding why is a big help for how the community shapes it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When Windows 8 came out, SU ran a contest about it. But, we also know that Windows 8 can run on a Laptop (on topic), desktop (on topic), tablet (on topic now) and a phone (off topic). When it came out, the Meta post decided that the Surface Tablets (or other Windows 8 tablets) would be a wait-and-see, then it was decided that they would be allowed, especially if the issue was reproducible on a Desktop or Laptop. A perfect example of the community coming together to help shape the network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use the Superping. Essentially, call him into the Ask a Mod chat or a private chat room, and explain what we are seeing as issues, and how we would like for the behaviour to change. Can we change it that way? Possibly. But calling out a valuable user in Meta would probably not be the best. On FL, we had an issue dealing with spam flags, and some of the highest rep users were flagging, then editing (which invalidates the flags, and reset the 6-vote threshold for silently removing spam without a mod). I made a &lt;a href=&quot;https://freelancing.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/178/dealing-with-flagging-spam-posts&quot;&gt;meta post&lt;/a&gt; (without calling anyone out) explaining that we loved people flagging actively, but explaining the process wasn't quite all there. I realize this isn't the exact question being asked, but I feel it relates to how I would actually do it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a mod chat room - Use it. I feel I can trust the current mods on here, as I have for many years. If they felt something needed to be closed, they would have found the reason and made the call. If I feel strongly about it, just talk in private. If the closed question (which can still be commented on) has lots of feedback explaining why it should be reopened, I will ask the commenters (commentors? Sheesh, that isn't in my dictionary either!) to either make the post acceptable (through editing) and letting the community decide; or I will tell them to make a Meta post. Community involvement is what I'm after here... And learning how to spell &lt;code&gt;commenters&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What will you do to breathe life back into my the Super User Blog?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not going to lie: I don't write for the SU blog. I would love to see it active again, but even seeing my own blog (link in profile, if you're curious), you will see I'm more about words, not necessarily pictures. The current posts we have in the blog are great, and I wish it could continue. I just don't feel I have much value to add to that one, while trying to get mine started.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, as a personal idea, I would love to hold a contest for some new blog writers, and possibly even ask SE for some swag to send out to some of the better posters, and then get the entries posted. If there is regular activity, I could see more and more people visiting it, and wanting to be a part of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A user takes major offense at content in another user's profile (e.g. about me text, or avatar) and repeatedly flags posts by that other user within a few hours, demanding that you remove the offending content from the profile. You look at the user profile, and it doesn't appear to be against the rules. Neither user is available in chat. What do you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, to be honest, people can find &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; offensive. Religion, politics, dirty jokes, nudity, etc. But are we the moral police? I don't believe so. However, if the material is obviously offensive, and trying to be offensive, then there would probably be no reason to not take action. If it is just the flagger's personal views, and it seems harmless (i.e. I see the picture in everyday life), then I would likely just ignore it. If it's borderline, I would confer with the other, more seasoned mods. Barring that, create a meta post, and find out if other people can possibly find it offensive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is your current approach, overall, to handling new users when they come into the site and appear not to understand our rules/customs/guidelines? If you became a diamond moderator, how would that approach change, if at all? For the purposes of this question, you may assume that the new user is not posting something worthy of the &quot;Spam&quot; or &quot;Offensive&quot; flags; that would make the question too easy to answer ;) Instead, just imagine that the new user has posted an answer with quality problems, or asked a question in an &quot;Answer&quot; post, or asked a question that has been asked many times before and is widely duplicated -- something along those lines. Pick an example and explain how you deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I currently do, I use a userscript that inserts various comments auto-magically for me. The comments explain that the information they provided does not belong in an answer, and explains where to find the information in the Help Center. I also know of tags like [edit] or [help] for posting into comments. If the information is correct, there should be no reason to delete it. If it's very low quality, to the point it's garbage, I would add a comment for them. Simple stuff! We have rules and help pages that explain exactly what should and should not appear here, so it's just a matter of getting them to read and understand it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24010" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.477" LastActivityDate="2014-04-29T16:09:33.003" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's important to encourage as many reviewers as possible; when a small handful of users are effectively acting as gatekeepers for every question that arrives on the site, it becomes very difficult for the majority of active users to have an influence on what is being asked and answered here - it's better to have 50 people here doing 20 reviews each day, not 20 people doing 50 reviews. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And that's not even getting into how easy it is to become careless when you're reviewing dozens of posts in one sitting. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, it's not altogether a bad thing if the queue &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; reaches 0. There's a certain urgency that arises when a queue hovers close to empty, and &lt;em&gt;that's not always a good thing!&lt;/em&gt; Getting suggested edits or new-user posts reviewed quickly is helpful; these tend to be quite time-sensitive. Closing &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be, but while a suggested edit may become worthless in a matter of minutes, many poor questions can still be closed a day or two later with no ill effects. Given it takes 4 days before close votes even start to age away, a question that &lt;em&gt;doesn't&lt;/em&gt; need to be closed doesn't really suffer by staying in the queue for that long either. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The big problem here is that some of those pending review tasks are a &lt;em&gt;year&lt;/em&gt; old!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See, the queue prioritizes new stuff first - tasks that are newly-created stand a better chance of being shown to reviewers than old tasks do. Tasks that've already been reviewed also get prioritized - so y'all are actually doing a pretty good job of keeping up with tasks that showed up in the past few weeks (pretty much since we added that indicator at the top for 10K users). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what can you do about those old questions lurking in the back of the queue? Well, a good chunk of them probably don't matter - that's why they're lurking, because no one is looking at them. But some of them could use a bit of attention... And this is where &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/230865/increase-close-vote-weight-for-gold-tag-badge-holders/231212#231212&quot;&gt;a recently-introduced change to the closing system&lt;/a&gt; can help you out: if you have a gold badge in a given tag, filter the close queue down to &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; duplicate reviews in &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; that tag, and &lt;strong&gt;you'll be able to single-handedly clear out up to 20 every day&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/close?filter-tags=windows&amp;amp;filter-reason=duplicate&quot;&gt;Possible duplicates in the windows tag&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/close?filter-tags=linux&amp;amp;filter-reason=duplicate&quot;&gt;Possible duplicates in the linux tag&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/close?filter-tags=osx&amp;amp;filter-reason=duplicate&quot;&gt;Possible duplicates in the osx tag&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Incidentally, I &lt;em&gt;love&lt;/em&gt; filtering by tag - it's the only thing that makes reviewing close votes bearable. So I went and turned on &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/202261/easy-close-review-queue-filtering-interface/231856#231856&quot;&gt;another new feature&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/kJbsC.png&quot; alt=&quot;quick filter links&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's &lt;strong&gt;m0sa's new filtering UI&lt;/strong&gt; - you get quick links from /review directly to the top tags and close reasons. I like it a lot, and hope y'all will as well. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's one other problem: y'all get 20 reviews, and only 24 votes - so if you review 20 posts and all 20 should be closed, that only leaves 4 votes for new questions that you encounter on the site. That paltry surplus leaves some of you in the position of having to &lt;em&gt;ration&lt;/em&gt; your votes - not a good way to encourage folks to review (unless you wait until just prior to the new day). &lt;strong&gt;So I'm raising the number of close votes per person here to 50 per day.&lt;/strong&gt; That's enough to review judiciously, close new questions if necessary, and still have plenty of votes in reserve in case something terrible happens. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The number of &lt;em&gt;reviews&lt;/em&gt; you can do each day remains at 20 - it'll automatically increase to 40 if a queue ever goes over 1000.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1243" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.997" LastActivityDate="2014-05-19T23:06:45.007" CommentCount="15" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you've earned a gold review badge, while suffering through the fairly frequent audits the whole way and passing a majority of them so you don't get review-banned, that's much better evidence than &lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt; amount of rep that you can probably be trusted to do good reviews.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My proposal is thus:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Review audits should never be completely disabled for any user. There should always be a non-zero probability of getting an audit.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reviewers with a gold badge for the review queue they're currently reviewing are 80% less likely to get a review audit than those without a gold badge in that review queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you &lt;strong&gt;fail&lt;/strong&gt; a review audit while you are in the privileged &quot;80% less often&quot; category, you will be silently (without informing the user) bumped back into the normal review audit frequency category for 30 days (or 15, or 60, or whatever SE feels is prudent).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, yeah, &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/feature-request&quot; class=&quot;post-tag required-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;feature-request&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;feature-request&lt;/a&gt; -- but not quite as Dave Rook envisioned it. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2014-05-22T14:17:31.383" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, without knowing in what way it is insecure (assuming that it is), it is impossible to know for sure what to do about it. Is there a fundamental problem such as the key being hidden in randomized parts of the disk?

Hey, if you're going to help, can you at least apply your help to the entire post? Even if that only means cleaning up grammar and markdown throughout the post, that's still a whole lot better than fixing one typo when there are 18 more typos and 4 markdown issues remaining, to say nothing of content problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the flip side: like Wikipedia, we tend to care about and curate our famous/well-known posts, and we care a lot when anything happens to them -- kinda like a &quot;soft&quot; protection on a Wikipedia article. I could see someone justifying to reject an edit as &quot;Too Minor&quot; if someone tries to edit a very popular question or answer with just a small one-character fix. For one thing, it replaces the OP's profile link next to the question/answer with the guy who edited it most recently.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My guidelines would be to accept the edit, if you can answer &quot;Yes&quot; to all of the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Does the edit suggestion &lt;em&gt;objectively&lt;/em&gt; improve the post's quality, without interfering with the OP's intended meaning? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Is the post being edited fairly obscure (i.e., less than 20 upvotes), &lt;strong&gt;OR&lt;/strong&gt; a Community Wiki, &lt;strong&gt;OR&lt;/strong&gt; is the edit very substantial? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Is the post &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; in the &quot;Closed&quot; or &quot;On Hold&quot; status?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you answer &quot;Yes&quot; to the first bullet, &quot;yes&quot; to at least one of the disjuncts in the second bullet, and &quot;Yes&quot; to the third bullet, you're good to go for accepting the edit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the third bullet, I specifically want to emphasize that you should be very wary of approving trivial edits on Closed / On Hold questions or answers thereof. The reason is that, when these edits are approved, the question is automatically chucked into the Reopen queue. &lt;strong&gt;If a question is on hold and the suggested edit does not completely resolve the reason for the question being put on hold, you should Reject the edit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If one person is repeatedly flooding the edit queue with &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; edits (incorrect edits, or edits that are way too minor) and it's interfering with the front page, mods may superping them to ask them to slow down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think it makes sense to punish &quot;innocent&quot; users who may not be aware of the &lt;em&gt;ideal&lt;/em&gt; best practices for editing, by rejecting edits that are &quot;Too Minor&quot; all the time. Instead, what I'd do is to flag an edit if you repeatedly see the same user making edits that &lt;em&gt;don't resolve all problems in the post&lt;/em&gt; (or at least, not even a whole category of problems, e.g. grammar or markdown).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OP says &quot;Teh qcik; brwon fxo jmuped ovre teh lzay dgo.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit attempt #1: &quot;The quick, brown fxo jmuped ovre teh lzay dgo.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit attempt #2: &quot;The quick, brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit attempt #3: &quot;The quick, brown fox jumped over the lazy dog because his Windows laptop had a BSOD.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We would &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; (gladly) accept Edit #2; no ambiguity there, and they fixed &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; grammar issue with the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For Edit #1, we would accept this &lt;em&gt;conditionally&lt;/em&gt;. If it's a new user who's just starting out and he makes that sort of edit, I'd accept it, personally. But if I notice the editor has many edits and they're all of that type, I'd flag it, or ping a mod to superping the editor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For Edit #3, since content &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; grammar are edited, you have to be careful and make sure the added content jives with the rest of the OP's prose and that the editor isn't introducing new information or changing the OP's statement to mean something different.

The audits are designed to be hilarious and obvious to any human being, mainly with the purpose of defeating automated tools or &quot;mindless&quot; clicking of random buttons. Even if you have no idea what kind of subject matter is discussed on SuperUser, this should still be obvious to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can't support changing the system to be more lenient when this is the only case I've heard of where a legitimate reviewer tripped over clicking the &quot;Improve&quot; button by mistake. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the procedure you should follow when you review edits:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Glance over the things that were subtracted from and added to the post, highlighted in red and green, respectively.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;For each thing subtracted and added, make a judgment in your head if those things make sense within the context of the post.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you start seeing repeated instances of things that are &lt;em&gt;totally nonsensical&lt;/em&gt;, you should just reject the edit outright, regardless of whether one little piece of the edit might be plausible. &lt;strong&gt;Don't&lt;/strong&gt; try to salvage little bits of valid information from a 90% bogus edit. If the edit makes you or laugh, or go &quot;huh?!&quot;, you need to reject it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you want to improve the post anyway as part of your review, just click the link to open the post, separately from the review queue, and edit it directly in there. Just go through the post line by line and make any corrections you see fit. Don't worry about the edits that were made in the bogus suggested edit.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In summary, you should have very little tolerance for &lt;em&gt;incorrect, nonsensical, or off-topic additions or subtractions&lt;/em&gt; in suggested edits. Even if the post legitimately needs to be revised, and the suggested edit does &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt; to improve it, you should reject the edit as soon as you see something that is &lt;em&gt;clearly&lt;/em&gt; incorrect, nonsensical, or off-topic. If you're feeling up to the task, you &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; then, at your option, perform a &lt;em&gt;proper&lt;/em&gt; edit on the post itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only time when it makes sense to click the &quot;Improve&quot; button when reviewing a suggested edit, is when the vast majority of the suggested edit's content is totally fine, but there's one TINY little mistake in there. For instance, if the suggested edit adds four sentences, fixes five typos and (whoops!) accidentally &lt;em&gt;adds&lt;/em&gt; one new typo in the new prose, you could click &quot;Improve&quot; to fix that typo, after determining that the changes in the edit -- the new sentences and the typo fixes -- are valid, warranted, and make sense within the context of the post. &lt;strong&gt;Context&lt;/strong&gt; is key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And anyway, a single failed review audit isn't the end of the world; you will continue to be able to review, as long as you don't repeatedly fail audits over and over.

As these are somewhat murky waters we often waive the off-topic nature of the question if it is obvious that the user has a specific problem and can be answered quickly and succinctly without needing multiple answers and chains of back-and-forth comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question quality itself has been raised, but from the comments it is quite clear that is either beyond the tools they have available or their skill to use said tools properly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is too much evidence for this being a fundamental lack of understanding as to the limitations and language of the tools, that they do not know even how to see that there is a problem let alone diagnose it and that in all likelihood the script was copied from somewhere without knowledge of what it did or how it worked.  The answer it received puts it quite plainly:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;if you removed &quot;on error resume next&quot;, you would have&#xA;  seen this error immediately&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is mostly off-topic here but it was (and still is) too low quality to migrate.  SO expects more than pluck and determination, they expect a minimum level of knowledge about the tools they are using and what they need to achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case though the user literally does not know that they do not know enough about the problem  in order to solve it and that is not going to get them far on any Stack Exchange site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While it is somewhat depressing the best thing we can do is suggest that what they really need is a book or a training course on programming, not someone to &quot;fix their problem&quot; for them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastActivityDate="2014-06-10T17:32:09.810" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So, asking them to spend time on something that is not really worth &lt;em&gt;anyone's&lt;/em&gt; time is a little rude.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is important that we spend as little time as possible worrying about these questions which simply don't meet the quality criteria of &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; site on the StackExchange network. To ensure that, you should ask yourself, &quot;is this a good question for ANY site?&quot; before thinking about migration. In general, questions should be &lt;strong&gt;at least&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;slightly above average&quot; in quality, before being considered for migration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;StackOverflow already has an existing problem where thousands of its user with some degree of moderation tools are not aware of this concept of cross-community etiquette, so they frequently migrate questions to other sites which are of very low quality, without realizing that they are taking up resources in other communities, instead of simply closing these questions and letting them rest. If other sites start migrating these bad questions from other sites to StackOverflow as well, this will only perpetuate the problem, and validate the perception that it's OK to migrate &quot;crap&quot; questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the sake of the community, please never flag or vote to migrate questions which are low quality.

However, it was not so useful for tags with lots of questions tagged and whose removals would be very controversial. slhck and I came up with a new procedure for sorting out tags in the former category and in the latter category.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My (counter-)proposal is this, which makes big modifications to the existing tag cleanup based on ideas established in the question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;TL;DR&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tags whose removal &lt;strong&gt;wouldn't&lt;/strong&gt; be debated &lt;em&gt;for sure&lt;/em&gt; will go through as before. Tags whose removal &lt;strong&gt;would&lt;/strong&gt; be debated or tags in which the one who finds the tag doesn't know what would happen would be posted as a separate question, and then if the consensus is to clean up, would be added to the tag cleanup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Long version&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What should be done now:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are now two lists in the main answer (&amp;quot;uncovered in the audit&amp;quot;) to the existing tag cleanup: one with little-used or newly-created tags whose removal would not be very controversial, and one with tags that have lots of questions tagged each whose removal would be more controversial and debated. Each tag from the latter list should be subject to the procedure currently outlined in the question for community consensus, and if the decision was to clean up, it should remain in the list, and if the decision was not to clean up, it should be removed from the list.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What should be done in the future:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you think the removal of a tag would not be very controversial (rule of thumb: less than 200 questions tagged (though that's a ridiculously simple heuristic that may need to be changed)), it should be added directly to the answer in the first list. If you think that the removal of a tag would be potentially controversial (rule of thumb: 200 or more questions tagged) &lt;strong&gt;or if you're not sure&lt;/strong&gt;, it should be posted here as a question following the procedure outlined here. Again, if it meets community consensus, it will be added to the second list, and if not, will not be added at that moment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other than this, the tag cleanup will work as it has always been, except that moderators should add the same number of tags from each list into the question (I think two each is a good number).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I feel like the existing procedure favored the non-controversial tags, while this new one favors the controversial tags. My idea takes ideas from both and creates a very good procedure that works for both kinds of tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One last question: What will we do to prevent users from adding their own favorite tags to the post? We'll say that all edits that add tags to the second list must link to the decision to clean up in the edit summary, and all edits that add tags to the first list must have less questions tagged. If the respective criteria aren't met, the edit will be rolled back.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="222470" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2014-06-25T00:24:42.353" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

None of those tags would help enhance a question, and are useless tags. A much better tag would be something like &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/tag-cleanup-request&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;tag-cleanup-request&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;tag-cleanup-request&lt;/a&gt;, where it describes exactly what it's for, and not used as part of a sentence (except by the sentience presence in the SE network).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each question should have the tag name in the title, and whether it should be burninated (destroyed), blacklisted (already destroyed, and it's come back), disambiguated (i.e. should &lt;a href=&quot;http://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac&lt;/a&gt; be about &lt;a href=&quot;http://superuser.com/questions/tagged/media-access-control&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;media-access-control&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;media-access-control&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-os-x&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-os-x&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-os-x&lt;/a&gt;?), or otherwise cleaned up. Except in a certain few cases (like when two or more tags are similar), you should post each tag as a separate request.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general flow of a tag cleanup request is like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A user posts a tag cleanup request. The request will be reviewed by the community and solutions will be proposed to remove or clean up the tag(s) mentioned in the request.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Within some time, a moderator will review the request and decide whether to approve or decline the request. This decision will mostly be based on whether positive or negative consensus was established by the community.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If negative consensus (or no consensus) is established, the request will be marked &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/status-declined&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;status-declined&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;status-declined&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If positive consensus is established, the request will be marked &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/status-planned&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;status-planned&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;status-planned&lt;/a&gt; and the request will show up in the list of approved requests. The tag cleanup may then begin.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once the approved request is completed, the request will be marked &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/status-completed&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;status-completed&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;status-completed&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally, users are advised not to do too many tag edits at one time, as doing so would flood the front page (because each edit &quot;bumps&quot; a question).

&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;During this same time period, 479 tags were destroyed, either because they were merged into another tag, weren't used on any questions, or because after 6 months they were only used on 1 question and had no tag wiki describing their intended use. It's not possible for me to determine who created them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;My recommendation:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Implementing this would be unwise at this time. Super User covers a large number of systems and products, many of which don't have tags. If we're going to further restrict the ability of folks to create new tags, those with the privilege need to be stepping up to create them when needed. Right now, that doesn't appear to be happening consistently: the majority of tags that end up being used more than once is done by users who would no longer be able to if we raised the privilege level.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that we &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/62591/warning-or-confirmation-on-new-tag-creation/233897#233897&quot;&gt;recently implemented warnings for new tag creation&lt;/a&gt; - whether this will serve to slow the creation of unneeded tags remains to be seen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Appendix: tags removed during the past 365 days&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is a full list of tags removed during the last 365 days, &lt;em&gt;for any reason&lt;/em&gt;. There are a total of 703 of these tags, which reflects both a different time period from that above (I'm adding this information a month or so later) and an improved method of scraping the log files for this data (don't use SQL when you need a regex):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;1.2.5&#xA;1password&#xA;2003&#xA;4g&#xA;4k&#xA;aafp&#xA;aalib&#xA;accent&#xA;access&#xA;access&#xA;access-denied&#xA;access-denied&#xA;ach-linux&#xA;activation&#xA;activebatch&#xA;active-window&#xA;actor&#xA;actors&#xA;adb&#xA;adfind&#xA;aero-shake&#xA;airprint&#xA;airprint&#xA;akmod&#xA;altgr&#xA;amd-raidxpert&#xA;amule&#xA;android-recovery&#xA;apache-2.4.6&#xA;apache-openoffice&#xA;apache-solr&#xA;apk&#xA;appcmd&#xA;appledouble&#xA;application-switching&#xA;app-switching&#xA;apu&#xA;archey&#xA;archicad&#xA;archivemail&#xA;areca&#xA;arrow&#xA;audio-port&#xA;auditing&#xA;autodesk-animator&#xA;autodesk-sketchbookpro&#xA;auto-hide&#xA;autopager&#xA;awesome&#xA;ayiya&#xA;backup-sqldatabase&#xA;bah&#xA;batch-processing&#xA;beep&#xA;belvedere&#xA;billing&#xA;bing-bot&#xA;bitlord&#xA;blackscreen&#xA;blocked&#xA;blurred&#xA;bomgar&#xA;books&#xA;boolean-operators&#xA;bottom-posting&#xA;braille&#xA;brands&#xA;break&#xA;brew&#xA;business-catalyst&#xA;business-model&#xA;cacti&#xA;caja&#xA;calc&#xA;call-forwarding&#xA;can&#xA;canadian-luke&#xA;capacity&#xA;carp&#xA;case-sensitive&#xA;catalina&#xA;category&#xA;ccsvchst.exe&#xA;cde&#xA;cell-phone&#xA;centreon&#xA;cfosspeed&#xA;chiliproject&#xA;chiliproject&#xA;chiliproject&#xA;chksk&#xA;chrome-app-shortcut&#xA;chrome-canary&#xA;chrome-url&#xA;cleanup&#xA;client&#xA;close-application&#xA;cloudflare&#xA;collapse&#xA;colorfultabs&#xA;comfort&#xA;command&#xA;communication&#xA;compi&#xA;computer-forensics&#xA;configuration&#xA;configure&#xA;conflicts&#xA;conve&#xA;conversation&#xA;copy.com&#xA;core-dump&#xA;core-pattern&#xA;cost-efficiency&#xA;couchbase&#xA;cpumon&#xA;cronolog&#xA;cstates&#xA;ctrlp-plugin&#xA;currency-conversion&#xA;current&#xA;custom&#xA;customization&#xA;cwd&#xA;d&#xA;das&#xA;data-destruction&#xA;data-formatting&#xA;date-range&#xA;daylight-savings-time&#xA;ddl&#xA;debian-7&#xA;dect&#xA;default&#xA;default-browser&#xA;defender&#xA;delegation&#xA;deleting&#xA;desktop-mode&#xA;desktop-window-manager&#xA;desperation&#xA;details&#xA;detect&#xA;developer&#xA;developer-tools&#xA;development-environment&#xA;device-id&#xA;devices&#xA;dicom&#xA;dictconv&#xA;diehard&#xA;different&#xA;digital-frame&#xA;disable&#xA;disconnected&#xA;disk&#xA;disk-erasure&#xA;disposal&#xA;disqus&#xA;distcc&#xA;div&#xA;dmake&#xA;document-library&#xA;dos&#xA;dotnetnuke&#xA;downtime&#xA;dragon-dictate&#xA;drbd&#xA;drobo-5n&#xA;dschychronize&#xA;dsquery&#xA;dualboot&#xA;dual-boot&#xA;duplicate-files&#xA;dust&#xA;dvd-flick&#xA;dxtory&#xA;dynamo&#xA;e-bay&#xA;economics&#xA;edge&#xA;edible-printing&#xA;editpad&#xA;education&#xA;electricity&#xA;electricity&#xA;elementaryos&#xA;elluminate&#xA;email-formats&#xA;emoji&#xA;emp&#xA;endianess&#xA;entertainment&#xA;epic&#xA;errors&#xA;eucalyptus&#xA;excel-2000&#xA;excel-2010-mac&#xA;excel-for-mac&#xA;exchangeonline&#xA;excle&#xA;exe&#xA;executable&#xA;expand&#xA;extension-cable&#xA;external-antenna&#xA;external-card&#xA;facetime&#xA;failure&#xA;fat&#xA;feedgnuplot&#xA;fignore&#xA;file-dialog&#xA;filesystem-limits&#xA;find-and-run-robot&#xA;fireworks&#xA;flickering&#xA;f-lock&#xA;flyout&#xA;focuswriter&#xA;font-color&#xA;fontforge&#xA;foot-bullet&#xA;formatted&#xA;forward-seek&#xA;foxit&#xA;france&#xA;freebsd-install&#xA;freeswan&#xA;freetype&#xA;frustration&#xA;fsnotify&#xA;full-computer-name&#xA;full-hd&#xA;full-path&#xA;fuser&#xA;fusion&#xA;future&#xA;game-server&#xA;gauthenticator&#xA;ghostview&#xA;gigabit&#xA;ginn&#xA;git-daemon&#xA;gitstack&#xA;git-tfs&#xA;gns3&#xA;goldwave&#xA;google-app-launcher&#xA;google-hangout&#xA;google-reader&#xA;google-ultron&#xA;google-wallet&#xA;google-webmaster-tools&#xA;gphoto&#xA;gpo&#xA;grainy&#xA;group-polcy&#xA;groupware&#xA;guide&#xA;guidelines&#xA;h265&#xA;hack&#xA;hack&#xA;hack&#xA;haiku-os&#xA;haiku-os-pm&#xA;hash-table&#xA;hash-value&#xA;hdf&#xA;headless-ubuntu&#xA;help-vampire&#xA;help-vampire&#xA;hidden&#xA;hide&#xA;hide-window&#xA;hipchat&#xA;home&#xA;horizontal&#xA;hotplugging&#xA;hpf370&#xA;hsqldb&#xA;html-editor&#xA;human-insensitive&#xA;hwnd&#xA;hyphenation&#xA;icall&#xA;idea&#xA;idl&#xA;idle&#xA;idm&#xA;ieee1284&#xA;ifttt&#xA;illustrator&#xA;imessage&#xA;index&#xA;indirect-reference&#xA;information&#xA;initcwnd&#xA;insensitive&#xA;insertion-fault&#xA;insertion-loss&#xA;inst&#xA;install4j&#xA;instruction-register&#xA;intel-mic&#xA;intel-vt&#xA;intel-xeon&#xA;intensifypro&#xA;intermittent&#xA;internet-explorer-desktop&#xA;invalid-ip&#xA;invisible&#xA;iphone-5&#xA;ipmi&#xA;ise&#xA;jdownloader&#xA;jetty&#xA;js&#xA;keys&#xA;kget&#xA;kids&#xA;kmscon&#xA;lang&#xA;laptop-displayblackscreen&#xA;ldme&#xA;ld-preload&#xA;leak&#xA;legalnoticetext&#xA;libopus&#xA;libtermcap&#xA;licencing&#xA;lilypond&#xA;lines&#xA;link2sd&#xA;link-shell-extention&#xA;liveticker&#xA;lmde&#xA;locked&#xA;lockup&#xA;logo&#xA;loop&#xA;loop&#xA;lte&#xA;lucene&#xA;lucidchart&#xA;lycom&#xA;mac-filter&#xA;mac-hg&#xA;magento&#xA;magic&#xA;maildrop&#xA;malicious&#xA;mapping&#xA;marquee&#xA;matching&#xA;maximize

And User X posts a link-only answer (just the link and something in the likes of &quot;your answer is here&quot; or &quot;this page has all the spuds&quot;). Assuming it isn't spam or offensive, there are 3 possible ways to flag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Not an Answer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Very Low Quality&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Other (needs ♦ moderator attention)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's start with the Other flag, because it's the easiest to explain and discourage usage. Whenever flagging an answer for Other, we're badgering a diamond-level moderator to come check the answer. Now, moderators are few and busy persons and in no way could they handle every link-only answer that happens to appear on the site. Moderators are there to solve really tricky problems the other flags don't solve (for instance, &lt;em&gt;relevant&lt;/em&gt; migration issues).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, let's say that the answer actually is a link to a cabbage patch (as such, in no way related to potatoes). I flag it as Not an Answer because, well, it isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's say that the answer is a link to a host of resources about potatoes, but it needs work: sufficient expanding and a good explanation. I then flag it as Low Quality, because of the aforementioned faults.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's say that the link is to a video that clearly explains the process that would solve my problem, and the amount of work needed to pass over that knowledge to here is minimal. In this case, suggest an edit and add a comment saying how the site should work, if the user is new.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I don't see any inconsistence in the flags, if used as above suggested. Maybe the text in the Very Low Quality flag could be reworded, but consider the following: a &lt;em&gt;link-only&lt;/em&gt; answer &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;has&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; a content problem - the link.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Links don't make good answers. Period. Flagging them (either way) does give them a chance to be salvaged, because at least 5 more people will read the answer.

This is PRECISELY why you need reputation to post tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem with your &lt;em&gt;original&lt;/em&gt; question is really that its essentially a broad purchase recommendation. While there's workarounds, there's no real way to post a proper, universal answer to handle 'why is my computer slow'. we &lt;em&gt;typically&lt;/em&gt; handle this on chat, but yes, it kind of sucks that you can't do that, but once again, that low barrier of entry keeps spammers and all but the most persistent trolls out. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Handling a high traffic site isn't easy. We have a fairly large team of moderators, we have community mods, and people &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; do things like use tags we've asked them not to use. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Getting rep isn't hard.

(I've asked bad questions. It isn't the end of the world).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reputation system lets us do a few things. Firstly, its our first line of defence against spammers. Secondly, it ensures quality to an extent. Finally, people love imaginary internet points. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd add, that the reputation point system is &lt;em&gt;integral&lt;/em&gt; to how we do things here.

I really hope you see the irony of criticizing the reputation system on a question like that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More to the point, the low-level privileges are tied to reputation primarily for troll prevention.  It doesn't take much effort to earn enough reputation to participate in the SU community. The bar is set so low that you only need one quality question or answer and you're in the club.  But it's more effort than 95% of trolls are willing to put in, and that's fortunate for the rest of us. (Note that I am not calling you a troll).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, the tag system needs to be clean and efficient.  It's not like Twitter where you can hashtag any cutesy saying you want.  As a contributor to the community, the tags are the best way to find relevant questions for which you know the answer.  Tags like &quot;reputation point system is dumb stupid pointless ridiculous&quot; don't help people do that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a harsh lesson to learn for a new user on a site like this, but your question was entirely self-serving.

So his question is: &quot;What does this part number mean?&quot;, while I think it would be better if he asked something like: &quot;When replacing RAM, what specs should I look for?&quot;.

Basically, I don't think your question is &lt;em&gt;off-topic&lt;/em&gt;, strictly going by the topicality guidelines, but I feel that our community of experts do not typically possess the kinds of knowledge (physics, electrical engineering) to be qualified to answer your question while also being aware of any potential safety hazards if they ask you to do/try something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying that we have never had a practicing Electrical Engineer sign up to SuperUser, just that probably the majority of our active users are not extremely qualified to answer this type of question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, I would recommend that, &lt;em&gt;if&lt;/em&gt; you ask this question here, you are careful to take answers with a &quot;grain of salt&quot;, unless they provide links to sources where the information they provide is substantiated by authoritative publications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Usually on SuperUser, for topics that are &lt;em&gt;exceedingly&lt;/em&gt; topical here -- things like questions about specific software such as Microsoft Excel, ffmpeg, etc. -- a reference is not &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; required. That is, references help a lot, and make the answer more believable, but you wouldn't be taking a huge risk by just doing what the answer suggests, because we as a community have an &lt;em&gt;enormous&lt;/em&gt; amount of &quot;knowledge capital&quot; about certain areas, and almost anyone with a decent amount of reputation who offers you an answer is going to be on-point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also consider that for topics about software, it is fairly rare for &quot;just try it!&quot; to result in any catastrophic situation where you lose data, lose fingers, lose your life, etc. When dealing with any hardware device that's connected to a mains power source, you are taking the very real risk of injury or worse, as well as (perhaps more likely) permanent damage to your expensive hardware device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So yeah.

For example if you go with option one and create a tag for everything that ever gets asked about, things become too spread out, and the tags become useless. However if you always go with option 2 it creates extra work, and prevents addition of potentially useful tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case we're talking about an operating system tag, and not even a specific release of the operating system, just a generic tag. Tags for every OS under the sun aren't needed, case and point being the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/linux&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;linux&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;linux&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows&lt;/a&gt; which work generically to prevent tags for every obscure possibility. However ReactOS doesn't fit into those categories so I think it deserves a tag, even if there are very few questions for it at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you read this post, and don't weigh in, somewhere in the world a puppy dies. :(&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="363072" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:46.287" LastActivityDate="2014-09-09T08:13:26.940" Title="Should There Be A Tag For ReactOS?"

It's under a custom open source license called the L.O.P. (Lax Open License), by the general community. The official website &lt;strong&gt;was&lt;/strong&gt; hidex.oss (see OpenNic Project for more information about .oss domains), but isn't any longer. Still waiting for a new site to appear...somewhere...hopefully?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't totally understand how it works, but the basic idea is that you use specified existing files on your computer (or stored remotely) to create a library of code that Hide X interprets, breaks into pre-defined chunks, and assigns keys to. When you save a file to the hidden storage area it's interpreted, broken into chucks using the same interpretation in your library, and then a sequence of the required keys is written to the database kind of like a compressed archive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I say kind of like, because unlike a normal archive the database entry doesn't contain any of the actual file data, it contains the data needed to re-create the file, the keys.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The idea behind Hide X (as I'm sure you can tell by the name) is to provide hidden secure storage. Unless someone is aware that Hide X is installed they cannot find your data. The database is encrypted, and as discussed it doesn't actually have any of the original code in it (so the database on it's own is useless), and Hide X requires a login before it can be used. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can have multiple databases which can use the same or different libraries. Other software can be built to have support for Hide X's database. Several years ago a few people on the forums banded together, and made a fork of VLC that could playback files stored in the virtual storage (technically not, since the database is used to re-create the file and then the file is stored in memory). There was discussion of building a custom linux distro with built in support so that applications wouldn't need support added to them individually, and so that users wouldn't need to use the cli to manage files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="367932" LastActivityDate="2014-09-14T22:26:51.203" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The key is that the metric of reputation conflates, by design, &lt;em&gt;answer-writing ability&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;technical knowledge&lt;/em&gt;. By extension, your statement that &quot;we can expect higher-quality answers from experienced users&quot; is problematic: what do you mean by &lt;em&gt;higher-quality&lt;/em&gt;? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Answer-writing ability consists of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How well the user understands the site's rules and is thus able to write answers which do not violate any guidelines or the Terms of Service;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How skilled the user is at commanding the language being spoken (in most cases, English) and writing effective prose;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The user's ability to trade off length and thoroughness of their answer vs. conciseness.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Technical knowledge consists of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What subject areas the user has personal experience with;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What research (Google searches, reading academic papers, etc.) the user has done in order to produce their answer;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The rigor with which the user has checked any facts they claim to be true, vs. which of the user's statements have they qualified with opinion-making statements such as &quot;I think that&quot; (an opinion is less valuable than a fact, when a fact is readily available to be found and cited.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As users become more experienced with the site, there is going to be a fairly positive trend between answer-writing ability and reputation. However, the correlation between reputation and technical knowledge is not there, and cannot ever be there. The primary reason is that reputation is a &lt;em&gt;conflation&lt;/em&gt; of these two topics. If you get a downvote for your answer, what is the reason that the downvoter provided for that downvote? Is it technical-related, or is it answer-writing-related?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider that, compared to a well-written answer with technical inaccuracies, it is much more difficult to edit a poorly-written or off-topic answer to continue to be relevant to the site and worth viewing. If the answer is well-organized and explains itself well, it's not that hard to edit anything that is inaccurate. If the answer is inscrutable because it's riddled with terrible grammar, spelling and doesn't attempt to justify the statements it makes, it's more likely to be deleted after being downvoted to a negative score.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your definition of &quot;higher-quality&quot; means &lt;em&gt;answer-writing ability&lt;/em&gt;, then your proposition is well-intentioned, but it won't work out in the end. The problem is that people use the downvote mechanism for &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; reason at all; the motive behind the downvote is completely invisible to the person receiving the downvote. Were they just in a bad mood? Did they not like that the answer -- 99% of it basically perfect -- contains a single typo? Do they have a false idea in their head and therefore downvote it because they &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; it's wrong, even when it isn't?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your definition of &quot;higher-quality&quot; means &quot;more technically knowledgable&quot;, I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. Reputation does not, and cannot, measure technical knowledge. It never will. It's far too easy to game the system (bounty hunting, for instance) to gain reputation far disproportionate with the user's technical knowledge. I believe it is impossible to design a pure numeric value that accurately and fairly describes a user's technical knowledge relative to their peers. To even attempt that, you would have to design a suite of the world's fairest academic tests that have ever existed, on every conceivable subject, and then force every user of StackExchange to take them all and be graded on each.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, the biggest problem I have with your proposal is that it opens up a huge avenue for abuse, unless you also take a proportionally higher amount of reputation from the people casting the downvotes. We as a community have no way to police bad behavior with respect to downvotes; we can't &lt;em&gt;review&lt;/em&gt; downvotes like we can review answers or questions. We can't even see (by design) &lt;em&gt;who&lt;/em&gt; downvoted anything, and we don't require anyone to provide reasons why they downvoted. The whole system is just there to encourage participation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Remember that, if users are getting many more downvotes on the whole than they get upvotes, their question/answer scores will be negative. If you have too many questions/answers with a negative score, you will actually become question or answer-banned on the site, indefinitely, until you fix your old contributions. This auto-ban mechanism is typically the way we handle users who are making bad contributions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think you are putting too much emphasis on the reputation of users as a means of judging their worth or merit or knowledge. The purpose of voting on questions and answers is to show what the community collectively thinks are the most meritorious answers and questions. The reputation is secondary. Upvotes and downvotes are important due to the effect they have on the net score of the questions and answers, &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; due to the effect they have on the user's reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To put it into real life terms: reputation can be thought of as how many years' experience you have on a job. Being experienced means you probably won't make any rookie mistakes, and probably know the rules, but it doesn't mean you're very &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; at your job -- just that you're not so terrible as to be fired. Trying to shoe-horn any additional meaning into reputation other than that is going to be impossible due to the many ways it can be gamed (both in the positive and negative directions), and your proposal only magnifies the problem with gaming it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2014-09-16T16:11:38.067" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There's a dedicated close reason just for them. Why do we have a tag for questions that should never exist? We're encouraging users to post them. Some people don't read what's on topic, they will see this tag and happily use it. Then they will be surprised the question was closed. Others will be confused, because help explicitly disallows software-rec questions. &lt;strong&gt;We're sending mixed signals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Historical significance has been brought up previously. Yes, [software-rec] is historically significant, but so are other obsolete tags. We're burninating them, because they have &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; historical significance and are now obsolete. I remember some thousand-question tags were cleaned up previously. This one isn't any better. It's one of the worst ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It categorizes low-quality posts that should otherwise never exist.

The rest doesn't make much sense too, I'll just copy this bit from &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/7032/194694&quot;&gt;my previous post on this topic&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Usability is highly subjective, feature richness is a part of almost every single software-rec question and doesn't make it non-software-rec.

The reason being that it was declared as not an answer, but it is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The OP's question said they were unable to mount dmg files with VirtualBOx on a non-OSX host. They said according to some posts they've found they believe it is a supported function, and then asked &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Can someone who used DMG files with Virtualbox on Windows confirm or deny this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I took first hand test results with VirtualBox on Windows 8 that showed DMG is listed as supported when you browse for media, but that I too could not mount one. I also noted that our error messages were not the same, which I believe was a helpful note given that the OP has since discovered the error was caused by the dmg file they were using; they have successfully mounted a different dmg.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying my answer is the worlds greatest. Obviously a quote from the VirtualBox manual confirming support of dmg would be better than first hand test results, but I couldn't find a quote so I provided the next best thing. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe the reason my answer was flagged, was that people mistook my comment about the error messages to mean that I wanted to get help solving a problem, when I was merely trying to point out that dmg mount failure can be caused by more than one thing.

Indeed a lot of different providers use different bands for the &lt;em&gt;same&lt;/em&gt; type of signal. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Different frequency signals propagate differently through (and around) various materials, this means that you can get vastly different performance between frequency bands depending on whether you are in an &quot;urban canyon&quot; or out in the middle of a field.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How far you are from the base station can mean that you get a very poor 4G signal but an excellent 3G signal, or an obstruction in the way could mean you get an excellent 4G signal but awful 3G signal.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There are multiple 3G and 4G technologies, and it is highly dependant on what both your device and provider supports as to how good a signal you will get.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why I say it is too specific? There is only one good answer to your question: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Probably.*&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;*(Depending on where you are, who your provider is and what device you are using)&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;WiFi can easily be nailed down, we have only two frequency bands and range is not as much of an issue as it is designed to be used within a home.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastEditorUserId="19943" LastEditDate="2014-09-25T19:45:37.130" LastActivityDate="2014-09-25T19:45:37.130" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Plagiarized edits can be caught by googling the tag wiki text or by googling the product and examining the most common copy-paste sources: Wikipedia and the product page itself. These edits require an amount of discretion and effort that goes beyond what ordinary suggested edits usually require.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I've encountered a few copy-pasted tag wikis in the queue recently and voted to reject them accordingly. However, I just looked at my review history and noticed that at least one of these tag wiki edits was subsequently accepted. I know mods can place a mild ban on editors who accept plagiarized material, but I think that doesn't do much in general to prevent these sorts of review mistakes from happening.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could we do something feature-wise to reduce the chances of plagiarized tag wiki edits being accepted?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few ideas:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Place a banner or some other visual flag on edits that a previous reviewer rejected for being plagiarized. Maybe as part of this feature, the banner could link to the source of the plagiarized material. (Providing a link or reference to the source could be a new requirement for voting to reject a tag wiki edit on grounds of plagiarism. This isn't asking much since the reviewer presumably already looked it up.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Include a web search pane or something similar on the review page. It could show the search results for the tag wiki or the tag. This may not be feasible because of API costs or other reasons, but I'm just throwing it out there. Someone may a have an idea of how this could be implemented effectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Similar to the last suggestion, this kind of search could be done in the background and matches meeting a certain threshold could cause the display of a banner or other visual cue that lets the reviewer know to pay special attention to plagiarism.

I can also imagine some good questions about interacting with background processes on, say, various mobile OSes (Android, iOS, and Windows phones spring to mind).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tag does not describe a specific technology or area of expertise:&lt;/strong&gt; I would consider an understanding of background processes to be a specific area of expertise, though again this is somewhat OS- and hardware-dependent. However, their basic principles--how background processes work, what problems they're likely to cause, and what tools users have for dealing with them--are pretty similar from platform to platform. Oliver Salzburg contends that background processes are &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; &quot;an area of expertise and/or interest&quot; (again, see comment thread on his answer). Personally, I can imagine someone being interested in how multi-processing is handled on multiple OSes, but not in other facets of the OSes themselves (UI, file systems, etc); indirectly, then, that person would become something of an &quot;expert&quot; in background processes (perhaps from both a programming perspective &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; a user perspective) without being an &quot;expert&quot; in a particular OS.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tag could mean different things:&lt;/strong&gt; I don't think this applies at all.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tag describes an extremely broad topic:&lt;/strong&gt; Nor this.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="199803" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.573" LastActivityDate="2014-09-29T18:00:38.913" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Knowledge is a two way street.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/814541/differences-between-intel-i7-m-and-u-series&quot;&gt;CPU question&lt;/a&gt; you tell us you know &quot;about: core voltage, TDP, socket, price&quot;  But don't provide any useful information to us about &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; you know so that we can rule them out of looking into the matter, you also do not narrow the question down to a specific processor that has a 'U' and 'M' variant for people to look at more closely and tell you if you are missing anything.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We value signs of research but you haven't provided any.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/811128/remote-desktop-software-for-gaming-still-nothing-in-2014&quot;&gt;other question&lt;/a&gt; you linked we expect a question to say more than &quot;I found this old question, is there anything new?&quot;  In this case I would much rather the question have been along the lines of you having tried out various RDP softwares and found them wanting, and asking whether there are any technical limitations on how quickly a screen can be passed over the network.  You &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; have asked why technologies like &lt;a href=&quot;http://shield.nvidia.com/play-pc-games/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Nvidia Gamestream&lt;/a&gt; can do it so much better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Quite simply there was no real &lt;em&gt;meat&lt;/em&gt; in the question.  It came off as if you couldn't be bothered to look yourself and just decided to ask us instead.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, we value signs of research but you didn't provide any.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to your most recently asked (and deleted) question, you think your question is simple, but it isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You could have done with telling us &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; the technology you were asking about was rather than assuming everyone knows what an obscure term (CUVID) means, what it does, &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; you needed it or what kind of problems you were having because of it.  Just asking &quot;does this do that&quot; doesn't really get anyone invested in the answer.  At best they'll type &quot;Quadro NVS 140M CUVID&quot; into Google, find nothing (like I did) and then move on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You need to tell people that you've already done that and provide whatever else made you ask the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I had to actually go out and figure out what CUVID was in the first place:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;CUVID is a Cuda accelerated video decoder, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anandtech.com/show/4380/discrete-htpc-gpus-shootout/13&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;apparently&lt;/a&gt;, though information about it is hard to find outside of dedicated video encoding forums &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;This means that you &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be having a problem with hardware video decoding (or encoding, I don't know).  But apparently CUVID has a counterpart in &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1569761#post1569761&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DirectX Video Acceleration&lt;/a&gt; so I don't know what's wrong with just using that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;CUVID is insanely specific and seems to have been deprecated in favour of something else, I can't explain why else there is so little information on it.  Everything I can find is from 2009 to 2012&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can't search any further because I don't know &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; you need this or what is causing a problem without it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You almost certainly would have already known all these little bits, otherwise you would not have asked &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; specific a question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By assuming that your question is &quot;Easy, anyone would know this&quot; you are raising an immediate barrier to entry in answering it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you'd have been upfront with some research, or even edited your question to include some, then we could have prodded back with questions on what it is (or isn't) doing, maybe gotten invested in it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As it is the question festered and you eventually deleted it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We are a site for problems and solutions.  You need to tell us the story of your problem so that we can go round looking for solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you post a question that looks like Google-fodder, but on closer inspection is a rather strange nightmare, then people are going to pass you over and look for the next easy question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From the page &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/how-to-ask&quot;&gt;How to ask&lt;/a&gt; the first line makes it clear: &lt;strong&gt;We’d love to help you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would dearly love to help you find out what is going wrong with your graphics card.

The edits being made were rather picky. We've seen much worse than your original question on SuperUser, and while those worse posts are often edited so they're not terrible -- which is a &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; use of the edit feature -- yours was more borderline. Personally, I probably would not have taken the time to edit your post for grammar; however, I feel that your post is &lt;em&gt;better&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; sense now that the edits are complete. Therefore, I don't think a rollback is really warranted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Weren't the tags relevant or sufficient already?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, your question is more about how to view a large XML file, and not about Firefox specifically. All he did to the tags is remove the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/firefox&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;firefox&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;firefox&lt;/a&gt; tag. That doesn't strike me as particularly egregious, since your problem is not primarily with Firefox, but with the &lt;em&gt;concept&lt;/em&gt; of, &quot;okay, I have this huge XML file and the vast majority of programs can't deal with it properly....&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Didn't the ones who approved it see that there was no need for revision?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apparently not. Again, the revisions were minor, but since there were &lt;em&gt;several&lt;/em&gt; minor revisions, it wasn't just a single-character edit, so declining it as &quot;too minor&quot; wasn't really warranted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's a judgment call. There aren't really black and white rules; we have &lt;em&gt;guidelines&lt;/em&gt; which people interpret in different ways. And heck, even if the consensus eventually is that the edit was unwarranted, two random people with edit privileges making the decision to accept is hardly an indication that the system is wrong. People make mistakes.

The reputation system, your name attached to the question/answer, etc. are all &lt;em&gt;secondary or tertiary&lt;/em&gt; aspects of the site, and serve a much less important purpose than the actual content that is produced (the question and the best answer to that question, most importantly; comments, too, are secondary).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this &lt;em&gt;specific&lt;/em&gt; case, you could make the argument that the edit was not significant enough to be worth anyone's time, but the edit was made, and your post is better off for it. Ending an interrogative statement with a period is a &lt;em&gt;particular&lt;/em&gt; pet peeve of mine, and he fixed that, so he gets a cookie in my opinion. OK, so I'm half-joking about the previous sentence. But saying you want the edit reverted is like saying that you &lt;em&gt;intentionally&lt;/em&gt; want your question to be &lt;em&gt;worse&lt;/em&gt;. The fact that the edit only helps a little bit is not really doing you any material harm. If it were changing the meaning or intent or subject of your question, &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; I'd be defending your authorship rights.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I'm pretty sure anyone who's either a native English speaker or otherwise could have understood my question the way it was.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I agree. No further comment on that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I cannot undo the approved edit. I cannot report it to an admin.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second sentence is incorrect. You can &quot;flag&quot; your own question (by clicking the &quot;flag&quot; link underneath your question text and the tags) to tell a moderator about it. Moderators can always see the entire edit history, as well as who made the edits, who approved them, etc. Based on this, they can decide whether the edit was appropriately approved or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You don't have to concern yourself with flagging &lt;em&gt;the edit specifically&lt;/em&gt;.

I've made several attempts to wade into the 35K+ unanswered questions, but it is like finding a needle in a haystack.  From a review of old meta posts, various aspects of this problem have been hashed and rehashed for years.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The vast majority of these questions are, realistically, ones that are simply not good candidates to ever get answered.  Their presence makes it nearly impossible to find the few questions that are.  The bloat includes questions that will eventually be removed automatically via rules, but are obvious to a human will not benefit from the wait.  Many received some upvotes and/or some initial views, so they have languished without triggering the rules.  For many, the comments provided the answer so activity just stopped.  Many of the questions are related to obscure hardware or user-specific issues that have long since been overtaken by events and likely of interest to few other people.  There are a number of other similar characteristics that are obvious to anyone who has looked for old questions that can be put to bed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As it stands, very few of the old questions that might get answered will get answered simply because it is too hard to find them.  If the site is serious about getting old questions answered, there needs to be a way to separate the wheat from the chaff, to enrich the fishing ground so good candidates are more accessible.  One approach is to start with the pool of all old, unanswered questions and peel off layers of poor candidates.  The other is to search the pool for good candidates and promote them to an &quot;answer me&quot; pot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One argument against doing this is that questions in the &quot;poor candidate&quot; pool will never be answered.  The truth is that they are unlikely to be answered anyway, and not doing this means that the good candidates won't get answered either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2014-10-17T18:31:54.720" Title="Difficulty trying to answer old unanswered questions" Tags="|discussion|feature-request|unanswered-questions|" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There has to be another reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, if the question is sitting on SuperUser and not getting any attention -- like if it's been here 5 or 6 days and no one has (usefully) commented or answered -- then migrating is more likely to be approved. Keep in mind that we also try not to migrate poor content to other sites, and sometimes when we're in doubt, we'll ask a moderator of the other site if they want it. If they say no, we're unlikely to debate it further with them; we'll either close it on SuperUser or leave it open, but we won't migrate it if they ask us not to. We want to be a good role model for the rest of SE, and not force our unwanted questions upon other sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;TL;DR: We should not be migrating questions to other sites if &lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt; of the following are true:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is low quality (not answerable, too broad, X-Y problem, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Moderators from the other site (diamond or even 10k users), who we've asked about the question, have told us they don't want it migrated&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is medium- to high-quality, unambiguously on-topic for Super User (irrespective of the topicality on other sites), and is getting feedback from the community, or has an active bounty&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The OP of the question specifically meant to ask it on Super User&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is extremely old and the OP hasn't visited the network in a long time (at least several weeks for both time measurements) -- because the OP will be unlikely to revisit the question on the site it's migrated to and accept an answer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be migrated to other sites &lt;strong&gt;if and only if&lt;/strong&gt; all of the following &lt;strong&gt;are&lt;/strong&gt; true:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is high-quality, or you are willing to edit it to &lt;em&gt;make&lt;/em&gt; it high quality (in fact it is good practice to edit away any problems at all that you see in the original question before migrating, or clarify things that the OP left out by asking them in comments)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question has received very little attention from our community (few views/answers/questions) and/or the quality of the comments and answers has been low, and the OP is unsatisfied with the responses so far; OR the question is unambiguously off-topic for Super User&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you have any doubt whatsoever as to whether it's topical on the proposed destination site, you have asked a veteran user of that site (e.g. in chat) whether it's OK to migrate&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the OP is responding to comments or participating in chat, the OP agrees that they want it migrated&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question would likely be closed or become a tumbleweed (neglected question) if it remained on Super User&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2014-10-09T15:02:53.787" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Downvoting is supposed to be an incentive to improve the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a consequence, though--the downvotes don't go away when the problem is fixed.  They served their original purpose.  However, now you have a perfectly good question that is stigmatized by the downvotes, discouraging viewers because the downvotes are then misleading.  You can also have the situation where people spend time answering the question and before the answer gets any upvotes, the OP deletes the question due to the downvotes.  This disincentivizes answering.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems like it would be beneficial to have two types of down votes for questions.  The new one would be a conditional downvote.

Conditional downvotes subtract &lt;strong&gt;0.5&lt;/strong&gt; votes from the vote score of the question, and do not affect anyone's reputation. Fractional votes are not displayed and are always rounded up towards the positive, so if you have +2 upvotes, -1 regular downvote and -3 conditional downvotes, the score would show 0, because (+2-1-(3/2)) ==&gt; -0.5 ==&gt; rounds up to 0.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Add a new review queue for &lt;code&gt;questions needing improvement&lt;/code&gt;. Any question that receives more than one conditional downvote from a user with 10k rep or higher gets added to the list of questions needing improvement, regardless of that question's total score. If &amp;lt;10k rep users cast conditional downvotes, a total of five votes (any mix of zero or one 10k vote and 4 or 5 non-10k users) are needed to add it to the &lt;code&gt;questions needing improvement&lt;/code&gt; queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;An accepted edit for a question needing improvement gives the editor +2 reputation, &lt;em&gt;regardless&lt;/em&gt; of what their reputation is, or how many edits they've made. If the user is high enough rep that they can unilaterally make edits without going through the suggested edit queue, they can receive a maximum of +2 rep per question (even if they make a series of good edits on the same question), and if their edit is rolled back, the rep gain is reversed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Add another new review queue for &lt;code&gt;improved questions&lt;/code&gt;. Any question that was formerly on the &lt;code&gt;questions needing improvement&lt;/code&gt; queue that has an accepted edit applied to it, is removed from the &lt;code&gt;questions needing improvement&lt;/code&gt; queue and added to the &lt;code&gt;improved questions&lt;/code&gt; queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reviewers who look at questions in the &lt;code&gt;improved questions&lt;/code&gt; queue will see the revision history of the question as well as the latest revision. They may upvote, downvote, or edit the question. If two separate users (regardless of rep) upvote &lt;strong&gt;or&lt;/strong&gt; click a button stating &quot;The edited question is of good quality&quot;, all conditional downvotes that were applied to the question are reversed, and the option for conditionally downvoting the question is removed, permanently, unless the question has (or later gets) a negative score after the conditional downvotes are removed, in which case the option remains for another go-round in the &lt;code&gt;questions needing improvement&lt;/code&gt; queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The other options for reviewers in the &lt;code&gt;improved questions&lt;/code&gt; queue include: &lt;code&gt;skip&lt;/code&gt;, which just goes to the next entry in the queue; and &lt;code&gt;I'm done&lt;/code&gt;, which will apply any vote or edit changes made by the user but will not remove the question from the improved question queue unless the reviewer upvoted the question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;10k users and diamond moderators have no restriction on the number of conditional downvotes they can cast per day.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&amp;lt;10k users who are not diamond moderators can cast 50 conditional downvotes per day.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;New badges for the new queues and specifically for editing questions that are in need of improvement.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A notification is added to the StackExchange notifications inbox of any user who has cast a conditional downvote, whenever the question makes it through the &lt;code&gt;improved questions&lt;/code&gt; list and has its conditional downvotes removed.

Typically, it is a question that is worded in a way that could result in some readers offering opinion-based answers.  However, as in this example, the question has been online for a reasonable time, attracted a lot of interest and upvotes, and received, as the only answers, several fact-based answers citing references.  At this point, it isn't likely that a bunch of readers will offer BS answers because these would likely be downvoted and it is obvious that any opinion-based answers would not add anything.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, it is at this point that the question is put on hold.  Granted, the wording of the question should be improved because there shouldn't be a bunch of bad examples floating around.  However, putting it on hold at that point seems like overkill.  Hold is part of the closure process and closure becomes automatic if the issue isn't remedied.  It would be more undesirable to close a question of this nature than to leave a popular, well-answered question that contains undesirable wording in the question if the issue does not get fixed.  So in this sense, putting such a question into the close queue may not be the best solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a situation where the risk of undesirable answers is already negated by events, it seems like action less drastic than taking the question out of circulation would be better.  For example, add a comment stating the issue and allowing some period (12 hr?), for the question to be edited to remedy it.  If the issue isn't fixed in that time, then put it on hold.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One other thought: the people voting to close the question must do some tasks to accomplish that, including stating a reason.  The moderator needs to consolidate this into a message explaining the cause of the hold.  Getting into and out of the queue requires review time by a number of people.  In most cases, a simple boilerplate edit would solve the problem, such as modifying a few words into a phrase like &quot;can someone cite a reference that answers the question of...&quot;.

It appears that reviewers have access to the queue, itself.  I'm wondering if there is some type of filter so that any user (or users above a certain rep), can see the questions on hold, aggregated.  There are an awful lot of questions and just scrolling through page after page looking for ones on hold is not very efficient.  I have no idea how big the queue is.

For example, add a comment stating the issue and allowing some period (12 hr?), for the question to be edited to remedy it. If the issue isn't fixed in that time, then put it on hold.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is precisely what &quot;on hold&quot; &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;. It used to be that questions were closed immediately when 5 users voted to close them. Now the following happens: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions are &quot;on hold&quot;, not &quot;closed&quot;, for the first 5 days.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;During that grace period, if you edit the question, it'll automatically be put into a re-open review queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;One other thought: the people voting to close the question must do some tasks to accomplish that, including stating a reason. The moderator needs to consolidate this into a message explaining the cause of the hold. Getting into and out of the queue requires review time by a number of people. In most cases, a simple boilerplate edit would solve the problem, such as modifying a few words into a phrase like &quot;can someone cite a reference that answers the question of...&quot;. It would be a simple task for any one of the voters or the moderator to just make the change. This would eliminate the requirement and time demands for that question to go through the hold process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Voting to close &lt;em&gt;already requires a reason&lt;/em&gt;! The reason is right there in the &quot;on hold&quot; message. There's no need to add additional complexity to the moderation process. The cause for the question being put on hold is right there under the question. Why should we add requirements and time demands to put a question on hold to save the asker from requirements and time demands? An individual user may have a handful of their own questions on hold, but a moderator or reviewer may go through dozens in a day. The time of the reviewer is more valuable than the time of the user because the user only has to look at their one question that's on hold, not the hundreds they may be reviewing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="20088" LastActivityDate="2014-10-10T20:09:11.400" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I could add a tag of &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/intel-cpu-designer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;intel-cpu-designer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;intel-cpu-designer&lt;/a&gt; to my questions, but that doesn't automatically mean that I work for Intel designing the next CPU instruction set. People could easily abuse this by adding tags like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/power-user&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;power-user&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;power-user&lt;/a&gt; when they are in fact more of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/newbie&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;newbie&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;newbie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags are mainly for the search function. When visiting the site, what would be the benefit of trying to search for questions asked by people of particular backgrounds? Just finding a question which addresses the same subject as your own question is almost always going to be good enough, if there's an answer associated with the question. Doesn't matter if the OP was a newbie or an Intel instruction set designer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having questioner tags in the tag pool would conflate &lt;em&gt;who's asking&lt;/em&gt; with &lt;em&gt;what the question is about&lt;/em&gt;. First of all, you can only have 5 tags on a question, so if you use one or two tags for your background, that leaves fewer tags to be specific about the question's subject. Also, some tags could easily be confused between actual subjects and people; for example, the name of a profession could possibly also be the name of a program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stating in your own words what your background is, and what your level of expertise is relative to the subject matter of the question you're asking, is much more precise when you simply write this information in your question. People will sometimes edit your question to delete nonsense like &quot;My mom is sick and needs this so she can feel better&quot; or &quot;Thanks! -Tim&quot;, but if you provide 1 to 3 sentences describing your knowledge of the subject matter, I cannot conceive that this would be edited out and deleted until &lt;em&gt;at least&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;after&lt;/strong&gt; your question has been successfully answered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, but importantly, Super User (and the other Stack Exchange sites) are &lt;strong&gt;not primarily about you&lt;/strong&gt;. The actual people participating in a question and answer dialogue are actually in the minority; they're like actors on a stage. The purpose of the question and the answer is more &lt;strong&gt;for the audience&lt;/strong&gt; -- all the thousands or millions of people out there with the same question who will Google for this and find your question (and the answer). You are a minor, but significant, participant in the system (as if to say, &quot;congratulations, you asked a good question; have a &lt;s&gt;cookie&lt;/s&gt; few rep points!&quot;), but &lt;strong&gt;by far&lt;/strong&gt; the most important &quot;participant&quot; are the legions of people who simply click the link to your question, find a good answer, use it in their life, and move on. If you are able to ask your question in a way that elicits at least one decent to good answer, I don't think any future visitors to the question will care one way or another what your level of experience is or what your qualifications are. If you simply ask the answerers to &quot;please state your answer in terms that a new computer user could understand&quot;, the questioner tags and other stuff become mostly redundant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You mentioned that people are being rude to you. If this is indeed the case, you should not be searching for a technical solution to your problem. Simply flag the offending comments and/or answers for a moderator's attention. There's no need to respond to their rudeness. They may be acting rude because they feel like you are asking a question that's way over your head (like trying to build the roof of a house before you've even laid the foundation), but even if they feel that way, they should just &lt;em&gt;tell you that&lt;/em&gt; (cordially), rather than insulting you. Then they can provide you pointers to the foundational knowledge you'd need before you can begin to tackle the subject matter of your real question.

This was a newbie question based on misunderstanding how the site works.  Skip to the last edit at the bottom for clarification.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Much of the time, new OPs leave a question, get a hint in a comment or discover the answer on their own, and then never return.  Those questions litter the unanswered questions pool.  However, I have come across a number of questions where a new OP asked a good question, then discovered a good answer on their own and made the effort to close the loop by posting their solution.  However, they lacked the rep to do it formally, so they had to leave it as a comment or embed the answer in the question, itself.  These end up as bloat in the unanswered question pool unnecessarily.  I think it would be good to encourage new posters to come back with an answer when they are able and willing to do so (it's win-win).   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my question is about the best way to get their answer into an answer.  My understanding is that you don't gain any rep from accepting your own answer but you could benefit from any upvotes the answer receives.  If that is correct, then a solution where someone else moves the information into an answer would not help the OP jump-start their rep.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've seen some posts here about how easy it is to gain 15 points so it isn't a hurdle.  That misses the point in this case.  That encourages the situation where the question remains apparently unanswered until some future time when the OP will come back to it and clean it up, which might never happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the OP has provided a good answer in the wrong place, it doesn't seem right for a scavenger to spend a few seconds moving it and then reap the rewards for the answer.  It also shouldn't be a burden on someone in a moderator role to have to do all the cleanup work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a mechanism whereby a new OP can have their answer moved into an answer and get the credit for any upvotes?  Can another user do that on their behalf?  For those concerned about the 15 rep threshold, put any upvotes in the bank until the OP acquires 15 points by conventional means.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; Right after writing this question, I saw that the example which triggered my question seemed to have a magical solution.  Someone with 11 rep posted the answer to their own question.  Is there an existing mechanism whereby a new OP can post an answer and it gets reviewed and approved for inclusion similar to edits made by someone with under 2K rep?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; I asked this question when I was a relative newcomer on the site and apparently misunderstood the rep requirements.  I would delete this question except Robotnik posted an answer with good advice.  To set the record straight, users with any rep can post an answer.  The 15 rep requirement is just to use the &quot;answer your own question&quot; button, which facilitates posting the question and answer concurrently.  Nothing prevents a new questioner from posting an answer if they choose to, and the problem of questioners posting answers in the wrong place is a matter of educating them (and Robotnik's answer covers that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="167207" LastEditDate="2015-10-08T17:59:54.750" LastActivityDate="2015-10-08T17:59:54.750" Title="New OPs answering their own questions" Tags="|discussion|reputation|answers|unanswered-questions|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Because it &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; does not matter. From all the experience I've gathered over the years here, I can honestly just tell you to shrug it off. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And I know that this can be hard. I've received (seemingly random) downvotes on old posts of mine too, but if there's no comment about what's wrong, or—according to my own perception—nothing apparently wrong with my post, I'll move on. If there is, on the other hand, then I'd try my best to improve the post based on the critique.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, this doesn't help either. I've got a -1 on a post which I later fixed. I told the user who downvoted in a reply to their comment, but they never reversed the vote. Well, too bad for me, but the overall result is that the post is more accurate, and will in turn help more people when they see it. That's a great result for me, personally. And it's one of the most important reasons for participating. The -2 points? Who cares.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's get to some individual points…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Within 2 minutes, some other user hastily downvoted it, which means that it will likely never receive the responses it deserves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, what is &quot;hastily&quot;? It's also conceivable that somebody took two minutes to read your question, decide it wasn't good or useful, and then downvoted it. Also, I don't see the conclusion from A to B here. Just because a question has one downvote doesn't mean it will never get answers. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While questions under a certain net vote threshold (is it -5, -6, I don't know exactly) will not be shown on the front page—which clearly isn't the case here—I wouldn't say that downvoted questions will attract less attention. (In fact, I'm much more inclined to check out questions with a score of -1 than 0-score posts, to see what's wrong and how it can be fixed. But this probably also has to do with me being a moderator.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Now I need to find another site on which to ask the same question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This I don't understand either. Your question is still there and got a decent number of views (given the fact that you posted it in what's probably the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/3123/what-time-of-the-day-is-super-user-getting-the-least-traffic&quot;&gt;time span with the least amount of traffic&lt;/a&gt; on Stack Exchange). You do not ned to post it somewhere else. I mean, you can, outside of the Stack Exchange network. Nobody can stop you from doing that, and after all it might increase your chance of getting an answer. All arguments for and against cross-posting aside, that's a reasonable option here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I am starting to think this site has become a waste of time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm sorry you feel that way. Certainly Stack Exchange—and we as a community—want to encourage users to become long-time contributors, and make that as easy (and enjoyable) as possible. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But let me also add that you've been a member for only twelve days, so naturally it'll take a bit of time to get used to the way things work here. This includes the voting system, which might be deterrent for some, but ultimately also very useful for others (including visitors). You're not the first to complain (does that sound too harsh?) about it. The point that's very important to take here is that votes are essentially just cast against &lt;em&gt;posts&lt;/em&gt;, not human beings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Given that so few people actually exert the effort to cast votes (or stick around on this site long enough to be able to do so), every vote has quite a bit of impact. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I completely agree with that. We should get people to vote more, and also to explain more about their decision. Leaving downvotes (especially on old posts) doesn't help anyone, unless somebody already stated what's wrong with a post. For questions, however, voting is often a little subjective, and therefore can often seem a bit &quot;random&quot;, especially to the OP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the same time, we see very few downvotes on answers, because they carry a 1-rep penalty for the person casting the vote. This means that there is little incentive for people to downvote incorrect or outdated information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There have been lots and lots of discussions around that subject, especially on &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Meta Stack Exchange&lt;/a&gt;. At some point the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/&quot;&gt;focus was also shifted&lt;/a&gt; on filtering out low quality questions, because they also often attract low quality answers. This came with a change in removing the 1-rep penalty for voting on questions, and I think the majority of users was happy with that change, even if it meant that questions would be downvoted more often, without explanation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Is there any moderation for users who cast counter-productive votes? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes. By counter-productive, we mean votes that are cast against &lt;em&gt;users&lt;/em&gt;, not posts. There are two main types: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Votes user &lt;em&gt;A&lt;/em&gt; cast on random posts of user &lt;em&gt;B&lt;/em&gt;, in a short amount of time. These are often revenge downvotes for something user &lt;em&gt;B&lt;/em&gt; has said or done. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Up)votes cast between user &lt;em&gt;A&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;B&lt;/em&gt;. Typical case of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;sockpuppetry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have a way to reverse this counter-productive behavior and may also suspend the user(s) involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If so, how is it determined if a vote is counter-productive?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, that's the question that's unlikely to be answered any time soon. Heuristics help us in determining if votes are in one of the above-mentioned categories. That's easy. But &quot;random&quot; downvotes? A totally different ball game. I mean, think about an answer that's gathered 60 upvotes in the last 2 years. Now it's downvoted by someone. Counter-productive? Maybe. But it could have also been that the software the question is dealing with has changed its command-line interface and the answer just won't work anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The downvote you received on your question? From your post I assume that you'd also see it in the &quot;counter-productive&quot; category. And while I understand where you're coming from—nobody likes getting downvoted—there's also that subjective element that no machine and no moderator can judge. 18 people saw the question, one really didn't like it and downvoted it. One gave you an upvote. Who's &quot;right&quot; here? (I'll just take a blind guess that the words &quot;simplest&quot; and &quot;fastest&quot; often ring the &lt;em&gt;SUBJECTIVE!&lt;/em&gt; alarm bell in some peoples' minds. You may for example want to make the criteria more objective.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And no, we can't force people to leave a comment when downvoting. This has been suggested hundreds of times, and the only result would be people posting nonsense comments if they didn't want to explain why they voted. And then we'd need a review system for downvote-explanation-comments, and so on. Talk about overkill right there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What really matters, at the end of the day, is whether the question you posted isn't put on hold as being off topic (which doesn't seem to be the case) and you get an answer for your problem. Does one downvote change the possible outcomes of either of these events? I highly doubt it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.890" LastActivityDate="2014-10-26T09:06:41.727" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This ranges from the need to &lt;code&gt;chmod&lt;/code&gt; the files to prefixing &lt;code&gt;./&lt;/code&gt;. A user who doesn't know how to execute a binary isn't going to know that they should tag the question with, for example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/chmod&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;chmod&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;chmod&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Executing a binary in &lt;code&gt;windows&lt;/code&gt; is often not trivial. There can be a range of issues from compatability and missing libraries to permissions issues. Users might not always know what is causing the problem so expecting them to correctly tag the question with the specifics of the &lt;em&gt;solution&lt;/em&gt; is unrealistic (If a user knew that the problem related to a compatability issue they'd have solved 80% of the problem in many cases).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to why it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a bad idea; well it is ambiguous and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/run&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;run&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;run&lt;/a&gt; could mean just about anything.

(If a question doesn't need an answer, does it fit the site's definition?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is no other way. Like you say, if a question doesn't need an answer then it shouldn't have been posted in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;* Note that we cannot add another custom close reason as we're limited to three. However, seeing typos or minor &quot;hiccups&quot; is way more common on Stack Overflow, so it makes sense to have it as a separate close reason there.

This issue has been addressed many times here before, one of the best suggested solutions I've seen here is: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/6967/how-to-defend-new-users-from-unconstructive-downvoting&quot;&gt;How to defend new users from unconstructive downvoting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that post Clockwork suggests requiring comments justifying a downvote. I think that because the normal posters here on SU tend to be less tech-savvy on average than those found SE or SF, for instance, we need to be at least as welcoming as they are. As I understand it, SE requires a justifying comment on a downvote, we should too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But another issue is the cheapness of the downvote for the person actually doing the downvote. While Clockwork tried addressing the weight of a downvote to the person receiving it, I think the downvote ought to cost more to the person giving it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, while there are scripts in place that check serial downvoting, as I understand it, these are triggered based on the number of downvotes received by a specific user, not by the number given out by a specific user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We should be encouraging engagement and improvement rather than drive-by cheap downvoting, and I believe the solution is a combination of all three of these:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downvotes should cost more to the person giving them. This will encourage conviction that the question is actually bad enough to be worth sacrificing X amount of your points to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downvotes should require justification with the intent of improvement. This will force engagement and improvement rather than the casual snobbery they currently embody.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downvotes should be limited per account per day, just like close votes. For a young questioner, a downvote can be as discouraging as a close vote, and usually come with less accompanying information. Limiting the number of these that can be given out will also encourage people to engage with what they consider poor questions in a more proactive way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T09:30:19.973" LastActivityDate="2014-11-03T16:45:10.283" Title="Unintended consequence of cheap downvotes and possible solutions" Tags="|discussion|down-votes|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="5" FavoriteCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There is no way to force a downvoting user to enter a personalized, specific, and clear justification that exactly fits the question and will maximally help the user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you go the pre-canned reasons route, the reasons available may not fit every scenario, so people will look at the reasons, click one that &lt;em&gt;seems&lt;/em&gt; to be vaguely related to the problem (whether or not it actually is helpful to the user is another matter entirely), and move on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you go the text box route, users can, and WILL, enter something like &quot;jfafafgasrgaffoq&quot; or anything necessary to bypass the filter. No algorithm can be written that will ensure that the text the user types into the field will be helpful to the OP. For example, I could write, &quot;The quick, brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.&quot; -- even if you spellcheck it and deny it if too many words don't match, that one would slip right through the filter, no problem. Then you'd just put that on the clipboard, and off you go. You can play whack-a-mole all day with the automated filters on this, but people who are determined to downvote without providing a constructive comment, will find a way to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, if these justifications are going to be provided as comments, then this removes the anonymity from voting. In my experience, I've found that certain people tend to get particularly angry when their questions are downvoted. If you post a comment that is generic and unhelpful (as in selecting from the dropdown or radio list), the user tends not to appreciate it. The only comment that is truly helpful is one that is personally hand-crafted to the question, pointing out exactly what the user is missing in their post, which we can't &lt;strong&gt;force&lt;/strong&gt; people to do. The people who want to do that are already doing it, and those who don't have the patience or frame of mind to do it, will never do it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can't design a technical system that interacts with human language or behavior in more than the most simplistic ways, because once you start dealing with problems that have to parse (understand) natural language, the whole problem space explodes into an intractable problem. You can make heuristic corrections to the system &lt;strong&gt;daily&lt;/strong&gt;, and hundreds or thousands of comments will still slip through the cracks on a daily basis. Consider, for example, the futility of email spam systems. Tons of spam still makes it through, once your email address is out there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem you identify -- users not offering to help querants with their question to improve it so that they include all the relevant technical details needed in order for the question to be answerable -- is a valid problem, but it cannot be solved with a technical solution. It is a social problem that needs to be solved with a social solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2014-11-03T16:45:10.283" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

People will leave comments to add details but forget to edit their question because they don't know that this is what we'd like to see on Stack Exchange.*&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;New users are still often treating our sites like forums, where everything is based on chronologically sorted threads—so they'll post comments or even &lt;em&gt;answer&lt;/em&gt; their question with further info, rather than editing their post. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And even when they do, many of them litter their post with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;EDIT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; marks, which are absolutely irrelevant since the revision of a post is stored anyway and we usually don't need to know when which part was added.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So by all means, if you see the OP clarifying their post in a comment instead of the actual question or answer, then go ahead and edit that in. Make sure to specifically state in your edit reason that you copied the OP's comment. Otherwise your edits may be rejected as too radical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And let's step back for a moment and look at the broader issue (or cause of your concerns). This site is not about the users—it's primarily about the &lt;em&gt;content&lt;/em&gt;. We're curating content for the sake of delivering quality information to visitors who have similar problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, you should not be stepping on someone's toes by changing the meaning of a post or insisting on miniscule but unnecessary changes (e.g. British vs. American English). But if you can improve a post—in terms of formatting, spelling, grammar or even content—then you should &lt;em&gt;by all means&lt;/em&gt; do it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;* Well, in fact the message under closed posts is a little misleading because it says &quot;If this question can be reworded […] please […] leave a comment.&quot; This is certainly not going to help the OP  get their question reopened unless someone sees the comment, edits the post themselves, and then votes to reopen.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastActivityDate="2014-11-08T16:50:54.480" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is &lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt; a matter of personal opinion and your question will be closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question should almost always start with &quot;What&quot; or &quot;How&quot;. You can then explain exactly the criteria of what you're looking for if you want to make your question longer; you can also tell us what you've &lt;em&gt;already tried&lt;/em&gt; in your attempts to solve the problem yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions that start with &quot;Why&quot; or in any way are asking for opinions, can easily be closed. Not all questions of this form are closed, but you &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; have to know what you are doing in order to ask this type of question. Therefore, to minimize the risk of your question being downvoted/closed, you should avoid asking questions that solicit opinions until you have a firm footing on the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd rewrite your question as follows. Note that this may &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; be considered to be an X/Y problem: someone may disagree with you that measuring your daily disk write amount is a useful way of determining how quickly you'll kill your SSD. However, that is an argument over a technical point, and they could probably answer your question by &lt;em&gt;telling&lt;/em&gt; you that they disagree with this premise, and then suggest what you can do instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At least it wouldn't be closed as off-topic or opinion-based, after rewriting it as below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some general guidelines to consider:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you are looking to accomplish some task using software, &lt;strong&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/strong&gt; state the exact operating system and version you are using. Even if this information is not strictly required for the question to be answered, it is still helpful for the answerers to understand what kind of environment you're running on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be self-aware of what you are asking. Re-read your question several times, and look for anything that you could possibly have a reason to doubt. For example, are you &lt;strong&gt;100% positive&lt;/strong&gt; that your methodology will help you reliably determine how long your SSD will last? If you are not sure, you should revise your question: rather than assuming something that you are not sure of, you should ask the more general question that would resolve your doubt there. It is much harder to write a good answer to a question if it contains false statements or unsubstantiated claims. By only stating what you are sure of, and asking in your question what you are not sure of, you minimize the risk of being told you are suffering from the X/Y problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep working on your English.

I can then consider the  expected MTBF bytes written of the SSD as stated by the manufacturer, and compare that to how many bytes I write per day based on which activities I perform, and calculate an estimate for how many days my SSD will last before it would, on average, probably start to fail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to use that data to estimate SSD lifespan and decide how big of an SSD I really need to avoid killing the SSD in 1 year, since larger SSDs can level out the write wear across more NAND cells, so they tend to last longer. I have read somewhere that the average user writes 20 GB/day and that value may be used to estimate SSD lifespan, however I am probably not an average user. My usage may be much less or dramatically more than this; that is part of the reason I want to measure this value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How can I gather this data on Windows &lt;strong&gt;INSERT VERSION HERE&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="144607" LastEditDate="2014-11-19T16:22:53.580" LastActivityDate="2014-11-19T16:22:53.580" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Allquixotic provided a great answer about asking questions here.  However, let me suggest another perspective.  The problem may not be entirely that you are asking bad questions, you may be asking them in the wrong place.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An analogy.  The super-hardware store where I shop has snacks and beverages (because guys can get hungry when they get lost at a hardware store).  The supermarket where I shop has a small section of an aisle with basic hardware items.  However, when I need hardware, I go to the hardware store; when I need food, I go to the food store.  You go to where you are likely to find what you need.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Support sites are like that.  If they have survived the test of time, they have a core of people with some expertise.  You can probably go to any site and find someone there who can answer your question, regardless of what it is.  However, each site is somewhat specialized.  Some are focused on a narrow range of subject matter.  Super User was set up to handle certain kinds of questions and it does a great job with questions that are within its defined scope.  However, you are swimming against the current trying to force-fit questions on this site that are fundamentally outside of what the site specializes in.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That includes things like &quot;big&quot; questions, where a good answer would require a text book.  If the answer to a question is likely to start with &quot;it depends&quot;, or &quot;there are many possibilities depending on...&quot;, that is a warning flag that the scope may be too broad.  Another is if you need to pick the brains of a lot of people with experience in an area (looking for opinion shaped by experience more than facts that can be looked up).  Questions that involve &quot;brainstorming&quot; (&quot;help me conceptualize some ways to accomplish this task&quot;) are not as good a fit as &quot;is this procedure known to work?&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's a continuum.  Every question is different, but the farther a question gets from the &quot;core&quot; of the site, the more chance there is of downvotes or closure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You have the questions you have, and there is nothing wrong with the questions, themselves (I'm not talking about how you word them, just what you are pondering in your head).  If a question is not a good fit at this site, it can be a tortuous task to shoe horn it into a form that won't be downvoted or closed.  In general, you may have better success at collecting information or getting the kind of answer you need by asking it on a site that normally handles those kinds of questions.  Part of preparing each question should be asking yourself, &quot;Where is the best place to ask this?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2014-11-19T18:57:14.457" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm trying to understand it.  I'm a relative newcomer to the site and there is still much I don't know.  I'm writing this as a real question.  Phones, media players and the like are not computing platforms, so it is easy to understand why those are off-topic.  There are some fuzzy areas for me&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Arduino is on-topic, but it isn't what I would call a computing platform.  Why is that on topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of &quot;micro-OSs&quot;, mostly stripped down versions of Linux, that are used to operate &quot;smart devices&quot;.  Those aren't really computing platforms and those are on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before smartphones, there were Palm devices.  I owned several and ran emulations of the MS Office applications that approached the lightweight applications bundled with some Linux distros.  It appears Palm is on-topic, although there aren't questions about it these days.  BlackBerries followed.  I didn't own one, but they were at least as robust as Palm devices.  The wiki excerpt for the blackberry tag says it's on-topic only if the device is connected to the computer, which is a method of synching and then using it as a remote extension of your desktop applications.  So it isn't clear to what extent BlackBerry is on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Early smart phones weren't what I would call computing platforms.  However, what is being offered now are some pretty robust tablets that also make phone calls.  Some of these are good mobile stand-ins for a &quot;real&quot; computer.  Apparently, any device with a built-in phone is off-topic.  Although, you can Skype with most computers, so that can't be the criterion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then you have the migration from luggables to laptops to notebooks to tablets.  Many of today's tablets are far more capable than the luggables or early laptops.  However, at some size, they are suddenly off-topic regardless of their capabilities.  Is the key factor screen size (below a certain size, you can't effectively do serious applications)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android is based on the Linux kernel.  It's used on many devices that aren't computing platforms, but nothing precludes it from being used for more powerful applications.  It's my impression that there are Android tablets that run applications similar in capability to what you would find on notebooks.  Android is off-topic.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cloud computing has been pretty widely argued.  Some say it is the future of computing.  We're at the point where you can do almost any application on a cloud-based device that you can on a &quot;real&quot; computer.  Cloud-based computing is off-topic.  Why are we excluding what is becoming a huge portion of the computing universe?  Do we risk becoming a &quot;buggy whip&quot; web site at some point, where we simply lose relevance to the external world?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Computing has fundamentally changed over time.  At one time, your home or office computer was where you did your computing.  Things became more mobile.  Today, people's computing environment is wherever they are.  People either sync mobile devices in order to work remotely or use some form of cloud-based computing for some portion of their workflow.  So what is the logic behind drawing a circle around a portion of that system and saying inside the circle is on-topic, outside is not?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Are there Stack Exchange sites that deal with Android or cloud computing issues?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the logic behind the rules.  In most cases, I know what the rules are--what's in and what's out.  I'm having trouble understanding why they are what they are.  I assume it's more substantive than &quot;because that's the way it is&quot;, or &quot;because we said so&quot;, or &quot;because it's always been that way&quot;.  Can anyone explain this to me?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2014-11-21T16:16:28.823" Title="What's the deal with Android and cloud computing?"

Which Android definitely has, even if it's just about interfacing it with a computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tags help users with specific expertise follow topics.

Conversely, they may actually also stop posting on topic questions here, i.e. those about interfacing an Android device with your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Likewise, we have plenty of tags where you could easily phrase an off-topic question. This is a problem with the assumption that existence of a tag implies on-topicness.

For example, your storage strategy on a 64 GB SSD would be very different from your strategy with a 1 TB SSD. In two years when 2 TB SSDs are common, use cases will be even more different. This suggests that this question will get old and stale over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I am going to get an ultra-bay for the current HDD for mass storage and data overflow.

Sounds very localized. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;1) General rule of thumb, what should be on the HDD to save space on the SSD?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This seems kind of a common sense thing to me. For one thing, &lt;strong&gt;bytes are bytes&lt;/strong&gt; -- if you're trying to &quot;save space&quot; on one storage device, move bytes -- &lt;strong&gt;any bytes&lt;/strong&gt; -- from that device to another. Obvious question is obvious.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2) Should the sql db files (three around 4GB each) be on the HDD or SSD?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, this seems like an &lt;em&gt;absolute no-brainer&lt;/em&gt;. SQL Database files tend to be small and are under very frequent write IOPS. This is &lt;strong&gt;the canonical best-case usage scenario&lt;/strong&gt; of an SSD device, especially in a configuration where you have both mechanical and SSD storage. It's like asking if your new car is best driven on roads or oceans.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3) Are there any file types that will not matter which drive they're on?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Storage devices do not care at all about &quot;file types&quot;. They see every file as a sequence of bytes. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically, this is a silly, silly question whose answers are trivial, obvious, not very interesting, and even the ones where some useful advice &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be possible, are extremely restricted to this guy's particular setup. If you change the program workload or SSD size significantly, the advice could change.

Everything about a human interface has a human component; human physiology is what drives the requirements for the hardware and software.  You can't talk about the hardware or user interface and exclude half of the equation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The site has tags to cover topics like ergonomics and work environment.  For those, it's easy to see that you can't talk about the best way to set up the computer if you leave out the user.  Ergonomic keyboards are also on-topic.  People who pound a keyboard all day don't want to get carpal tunnel syndrome, so that makes it on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It doesn't take long to get to a grey area.  The QWERTY and Dvorak keyboard layouts, mice, GUI interfaces, etc. were all based on human requirements.  The same with response time requirements for interface devices, visual user interfaces and web pages.  Two recent questions come to mind.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/838025/how-fast-does-application-response-time-need-to-be&quot;&gt;How fast does application response time need to be&lt;/a&gt;  The gist of this question and answer focused on people expending a lot of effort and money on the hardware and software side of the user interface to improve response time while being unaware of the role that the user plays in the result.  This was downvoted even after eliminating the possibility of opinion-based answers because it focused on the user rather than the hardware/software, which may seem off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/840632/why-do-i-sometimes-type-the-as-teh-mean-that-the-response-of-keyboard-is-too&quot;&gt;Why do i sometimes type the as teh mean that the response of keyboard is too&lt;/a&gt; was just closed as off-topic.  The gist of one comment (since deleted), was a common sentiment--&quot;Are you kidding me?  You're asking on SU why you make typos?  Learn to type.&quot;  If you aren't familiar with human factors research, that reaction is understandable.  It happens that the kind of error the question was about is caused by a poor user interface, and limitations of human physiology bumping up against that.  In a sense, it isn't a whole lot different from users developing carpal tunnel syndrome from using a mismatched input device.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The cause is the interaction between the human machine and the computer machine.  The solution can come from either or both sides of the equation.  You can modify the keyboard (which is exactly where the QWERTY layout came from when the shoe was on the other foot), and this would clearly be on-topic here.  You can mitigate the problem through software, which is clearly on-topic here.  Or you can try to do things on the human side to better adapt to the characteristics of the technology, which appears to be off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So big picture, at the very least, understanding the human side of the equation can facilitate a solution on the hardware/software side.  However, when someone has a problem that would be on-topic because it involves hardware or software and there are hardware/software solutions, does it become off-topic to discuss solutions that focus on the user?  Where do we draw the line?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is on-topic and off-topic is driven by the community.  This question is not a request to declare all human factors questions on-topic, so please don't downvote it on that basis.  Rather, I want to raise the question, generate discussion, and let the community decide what the standard should be.  The purpose of the question is to develop a guideline, whatever that turns out to be, including a potential decision to ban human factors questions and/or responses.  So up or down votes on the question should reflect whether you think there should be discussion and official guidance rather than whether you are for or against human factors content on SU.  Hopefully, there will be answers for and against and that is where subject matter preference should be voted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:46.477" LastActivityDate="2014-11-23T01:20:51.890" Title="Where do we draw the line on questions involving human interfaces?"

They have almost nothing to do with the computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A keyboard &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; have a fault that delays one key over another which means someone types &quot;teh&quot; instead of &quot;the&quot; but it is thousands of some more likely that the human is at fault and needs retraining, perhaps forcibly even. This is probably not a problem with the hardware and is certainly not a software fault. &quot;How can I fix my autocorrect?&quot; would be a valid question, &quot;how can I fix my hands/brain?&quot; would not. The question would have to show adequate research before I gave any credence to it being a hardware fault.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;How do I arrange my workplace to prevent RSI/back injury/groin strain?&quot; is another one I've argued before. We can easily close them as primarily opinion based, because they are, but some people have argued that they are asking about hardware related to computing. Desks, chairs and pencils might be a type of hardware, but they are not &lt;em&gt;computer&lt;/em&gt; hardware. This is also another wetware problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ergonomics should not be on topic on SU in my opinion, the problem lies entirely outside of computer hardware and software. As has been stated with Android just because we have a tag does not make it on topic.

The DVD drive is the first boot device and your backup disk isn't bootable.&quot;  That would probably be better as a comment, but nobody would blink at that as an answer.  It is based on common knowledge.  Nobody would expect the answerer to cite a reference source.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In the &quot;teh&quot; question, my answer is common knowledge to anyone with human factors training.  It's pretty basic stuff--it's the reason you can blink  when something approaches your eye faster than you can consciously make yourself blink.  However, it was seen by some people as an opinion-based answer, or at least a low-quality answer because it lacked citations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is an important curation function performed on the site, policing answers to ensure quality.

There was a recent Meta question that was quickly deleted about what was labeled as a 1 character edit.  The question in question was &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/posts/845818/revisions&quot;&gt;Does pbpaste empty the clipboard under some circumstances?&lt;/a&gt;, and it makes a perfect example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The original question included a typo.  It read, &quot;The wording seeds odd...&quot;.  It was probably meant to be, &quot;The wording seems odd...&quot;.  In the edit, the word was just changed to a different word, &quot;The wording read odd...&quot;.  That probably would have been better as, &quot;The wording reads odd...&quot;, since it refers to an existing document.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me suggest a specific rule.  The issue with &quot;read&quot; vs. &quot;reads&quot; doesn't affect the usability.  The reader may notice that the word is awkward but can keep going without losing the train of thought.  That is not the case with &quot;seeds&quot; vs. &quot;seems&quot;.  These are totally different words and &quot;seeds&quot; makes no sense in the sentence.  It causes the reader to re-read the sentence in order to make sense of it and interrupts the process of understanding the question.  In this case, the change of a single letter improves the usability of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion is to make any change if it improves the usability of the answer, even if the total edit is only one character.  If it doesn't change the usability, don't bother unless it is part of a collection of changes that together, make the question or answer substantively better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would also suggest a context guideline.  Some answers don't add much value, and are poorly written on top of that, although they meet the definition of an answer.  Other answers provide good information but would benefit from polish.  The community benefits when a good, &quot;raw&quot; answer gets improved.  Polishing a marginal answer doesn't make it better (the technical term is &quot;putting lipstick on a pig&quot;).  Experienced users don't bother editing the marginal answers, but they are low hanging fruit for new users who want to build some rep.  We should offer guidance to new users who focus on these and suggest that they focus on where their efforts will provide benefit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:46.450" LastActivityDate="2014-11-28T03:28:18.460" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you are uncomfortable with it, just roll it back.

Instead, we should be editing the question to make it better. i.e. Bad Questions deserve downvotes yes, but not badly &lt;strong&gt;worded&lt;/strong&gt; questions. If a question is within our scope but poorly written, improve it!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, our &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/be-nice&quot;&gt;Be Nice!&lt;/a&gt; Policy would seem to agree:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be welcoming, be patient, and assume good intentions.&lt;/strong&gt; Don't expect new users to know all the rules — they don't. And be patient while they learn. If you're here for help, make it as easy as possible for others to help you. Everyone here is volunteering, and no one responds well to demands for help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This should encourage users to improve their question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It should, but it doesn't. Downvoting makes users feel &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt;, but not for the right reasons. That's because there's no indication to the OP user that the downvote is because of their poor wording or grammar.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user comes back after some month and notices that his question still is at -1. He's frustrated and decides that edits are worthless.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, this is because there's no indication of what a downvote &lt;strong&gt;means&lt;/strong&gt;. If instead you edit the question, and then &lt;strong&gt;leave a comment&lt;/strong&gt;, explaining why you had to edit, (and pointing them to the  &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/how-to-ask&quot;&gt;How To Ask&lt;/a&gt; page), they'll be more inclined to learn from the experience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I still agree that there should be a notification for edited questions you've downvoted, but I wanted to clear up the point about downvotes, and it was too long for a comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="107240" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2014-12-08T03:54:28.060" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not referring to the collection of tags, themselves, which should be actively maintained.  Rather, the aspect of modifying the assigned tags on old questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As an example, cleaning up the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/database&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;database&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;database&lt;/a&gt; tag was one of my suggestions.  It had almost 500 questions at the time, and the majority of the usage was as a redundant meta tag with another application-specific tag.  There wasn't much voting on the question so I took a stab at a first pass cleanup of just those kinds of duplicates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By the time I got the question count under 400, I had a eureka.  Why do this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. It doesn't help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Changing the tags on old questions will make no significant difference in anyone's ability to find those questions.  In the case of a tag like [database], it also won't eliminate the need for the tag because there is some non-meta usage.  So there is no apparent benefit to modifying the tags on hundreds of old questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. It causes harm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Dumping tons of questions into the active questions list just because their tags were changed doesn't serve much useful purpose, but it buries questions that are new or have been answered or edited in an important way.  It hides them from the exposure and attention they would otherwise get.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It also wastes people's time (besides the person doing the useless tag edits).  I don't know how many times I've seen a question like an example today--somebody couldn't get their old printer to work with Linux.  I took the time to find the link to the manufacturer's driver download and posted an answer.  Then I noticed that it was an old question that has long since been overtaken by events.  It was an obsolete printer so no one else is likely to benefit from the answer, either.  The question was in the active questions list because somebody did tag cleanup on the manufacturer tag.  This kind of thing happens all the time with tag cleanups and the automated Community stirring of the old questions pot (the majority of the random selections being ones that don't need or benefit from further attention). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommendations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't modify tags on old questions unless it is a relatively small number of questions and doing so will allow elimination of a bad tag. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add definitions to ambiguous tags that will be retained.  Most of the ambiguous tags are ambiguous because they are undefined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deprecate the bad tags that can't be readily deleted due to heavy prior use.  They can remain on old questions without the need to replace them with a better tag, just don't allow their continued use for new questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create a separate list for tag-only changes.  They can be available for review if needed, but not overwhelm the active questions list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: Another Alternative&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Based on the comments, there are two reasons for modifying the old tags.  One is that the tags can't be actually closed, so there continues to be usage despite any warning placed in the wiki excerpt.  There is not currently a 100% effective solution for that other than deleting the tag.  Hopefully, the warning reduces the continued usage, and the ability to deprecate tags might be a valuable feature to pursue.  In the meantime, stretching out the question cleanup and doing just a few at a time over a long period will reduce the negative impact.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second reason for modifying question tags is that it provides an opportunity to improve old questions or bring to the front ones that might benefit from a fresh look.  Some, perhaps most, old questions are not good candidates for this.  That includes ones that were closed for reasons that can't be fixed; ones that refer to obsolete or esoteric issues (useful to keep &quot;just in case&quot; but there isn't likely to be much further call for it); ones the already received a comprehensive, definitive answer or answers; etc.  These questions don't need or benefit from cleanup, plus doing so has the negative effect of filling the active questions list and reducing exposure for other questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me suggest an alternative for achieving the second benefit without the negative side effects.  Look at the question but don't automatically change the tag.  If the question will benefit from fresh eyes, clean up its tags and improve the question content if possible.  Otherwise leave it alone, at least for now.  That doesn't solve the problem of eliminating a bad tag, but that objective can be accomplished later when and if system improvements are made to eliminate the effects of tag changes on the active questions list.  In the meantime, we can achieve one set of benefits benignly and it is a more effective use of peoples' time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2014-12-03T17:16:56.827" LastActivityDate="2014-12-03T17:25:55.963" Title="Should we limit mass cleanup of tags on old questions?"

It described a solution of soldering a resistor onto IC leads inside the monitor.  Even if that was an actual solution to the problem, it isn't something most users would be equipped to do and if it didn't void the warranty, the procedure would likely damage the IC and ruin the monitor.

In some magically world with cost being the same for fast and slow chips, what do you think people would get? Fast chips. So the whole desire to “overclock” is to buy something at a low price and give yourself the same performance as someone purchasing a component at a high price.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, in the early 2000s I still had desktop PowerMac G3 that was well known for the upgradability. Given the fact that Apple upgrades were costly, it economically made sense for me to continually upgrade that grey box until PowerMac G3’s became fairly useless. Also, my day job includes tinkering with tech so this gave be a hobby machine I could play with. And heck, the PowerMac G3’s could &lt;a href=&quot;http://lowendmac.com/1997/overclocking-beige-power-mac-g3/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;easily be overclocked with simple jumper settings&lt;/a&gt;; buy a 233 Mhz machine and then a few jumper settings later have it running at 266 Mhz.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nowadays, I have a Mac Mini. And have used various models of Mac Minis for years. The most I would have to upgrade is the RAM. Because for the type of work I do, this machine is fast enough and solid enough. No need to tinker with hardware anymore for me!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, the value of over clocking/tweaking comes into play when dealing with work environments.  For example, yes you might know a way to boost the performance on a dull and boring Dell desktop. But the second you do that you void the warranty and if the machine fails who will fix it? And in an office setting a temporarily “speedy” machine dying can lead to lost productivity due to unforeseen downtime.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="167207" LastEditorUserId="167207" LastEditDate="2014-12-07T17:32:10.033" LastActivityDate="2014-12-07T17:32:10.033" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Good questions should be treated alike.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As far as answering a question, and the effort put into it - that's up to the individual, and not something we can really control as a community.

The change isn't enough to warrant an additional answer and a comment is transient.  Is the appropriate edit to replace the information or add the correction as supplemental information (if it should be done at all)?  Also, does it make a difference in how the edit should be done whether the edit includes a citation validating the correction?  Does it matter whether the answer has been accepted and/or upvoted?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;An old answer.  The edit claims that the answer is no longer correct (for example, because the current version of the software is different).  Should the edit be in the form of supplementary information that refers to the newer version of the software?  Should some form of citation be required?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;An edit like 1 or 2 is proposed by an anonymous user who provides no citation and the reviewer cannot readily validate the information.  Should unattributed substantive edits be accepted?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should the reviewer be in the position of &quot;ruling on&quot; substantive changes of this nature?  Answers get the review and scrutiny of the community and that process is bypassed when these kinds of changes are done as edits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there a mechanism to provide a comment to the user proposing an edit to explain why an edit is rejected or to request additional information, substantiation, or changes to the edit that only they would have the knowledge to make?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; There seems to be a grey area.  On the Tour page and the Help pages, edits are described as: &quot;to correct minor mistakes or add addendums / updates as the post ages&quot; (in addition to grammar and spelling mistakes).  For community wiki posts: &quot;...others will edit them to keep them up to date, to add useful information,...&quot;.  So it appears that community wiki posts actively invite at least updates to keep them current and expansion, while regular posts have a more restrained policy.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, it looks like addendums and updates for currency, even on regular posts, are part of the plan, and correcting &quot;minor mistakes&quot; may be somewhat of a judgement call.  &lt;strong&gt;Can anyone elaborate on the scope of what is appropriate for &quot;correcting minor mistakes&quot; within this context?&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume, as Psycogeek suggests, that the default position on any proposed edit of this nature on a non-community wiki post is to reject or skip unless the person proposing the edit substantiates the validity of the change (or you can verify it), and that addendum is preferable to modification.

If you have a better answer then create a better answer, create it in full using all available information, which can include SU. Half of everything is wrong on the web :-) citation to what?   Is it testable, or provable? can you prove it yourself?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;There is a comment feild and a downvote button, if you (this person editing) have large corrections or complete modifications of parts of an answer, then use the comments section and do tell what the problem is. People reading the answer can just as easily read the comment.  On the side many of the best least known information comes from the obscure and different.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can tell I am not ok with it.&lt;br&gt;&#xA; If the information was fully verified, I would still want to know that it was changed or ammended, added pieces to the answer (or even questions) Should be marked as such &quot;edited By:&quot; &quot;Added By:&quot; or whatever it takes so it is known that the information did not come from the person whos name is shown.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even &quot;edited:&quot; or &quot;added:&quot; which are important headers to an altered question are REJECTED here at super user, they are needlessly edited out, along with thanks and other things that make us all human.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;That information still exists if you want to view the history. IMO again this is just wrong, people going to (say) the Wikipedia do not weed through 50 pages of corrections and discussions, they just accept what is there.  Here at SU the Q&amp;amp;A does not get enough people viewing it (like the wiki) to insure this slopped in added information is correct.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand . . . most of the editing that has been done on my own posts (after being reviewed and accepted) has been acceptable, and usually improves it. As the original questioner or answeree they can roll back any time they like, or they can re-edit.  Reviewers are for the most part doing that job correctaly. (I have seen some that ehh not so much :-) &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a Reviewer you Must Be Very carefull with this crap added to a post as an edit, it has been 100% wrong before, it could be an opinion, or it could be malicious.  Enough edits to a post and the original meaning goes out the door, and your left with . . . well the same crap written up on the rest of the web, which does not make it right (all the time).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Updates are great (yay!) still the information must be verified.  Spammers will change links to suit thier web site, idiots will change things that look right and good, but do things like point to wrong web sites.  Should the original information be kept?  IMO yes again, not everyone uses the latest versions, I use software still created in 1996 :-)&lt;br&gt;&#xA;If things have changed then it would even be ok to move the old junk  to the bottom and put the new information at the top, Mark what has been done.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Again if the person has much better information, there is a box for that. The person can make comments, or they can make a whole new answer with all the new information in it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) No, you could &quot;Skip&quot; , you can skip anything you cannot verify. then some other person will run an accept on it, But it woult be Your Fault that the question or answer is destroyed by editing, with wrong informations.  A person more qualified to verify , or who has tested it, or who will take the time to fully verify the information would be qualified to review it.&#xA;(I have a story I could tell here about a judge unqualified to judge a case put in front of them, but there is not enough room).&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Again, it could easily be a comment, or &quot;If you want it done right Do It Yourself!&quot; the editor could create a much better answer.  Are they too freaking lazy to make a whole answer ? that I could understand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) If you have the rep to be a reviewer , then you have the knowlege (lol) to properly review the edits people are making.  You know by now that there is a lot of crap, if you see it, &quot;Reject&quot; it takes 2 people to fully reject.  If you do not know, then skip. (and some other person unqualified to know will accept it :-)  Hey it wont be you, and that is all that counts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5) Yes, I very often use the box where you get to make a comment on why you are rejecting an edit.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have also moved &quot;comment editing&quot; to the comments box where it belongs. the system is not designed for a simple reviewer to do such a thing, so it works, and it doesn't work, but that is one possibility to put the data in a User3948 Said: comment. Best of both worlds, the information is shown, and the original persons work is not damaged.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many times corrections , opinions, verifications, and adjustments to an answer are made in the comments. The original answeree then will see these comments , and make changes they want to make. &#xA; The viewing public will also see all of that, and decide or verify for themselves.  (at the least)  Some drive-by anon changing the content who has zero rep, is the suspect :-)  not the authority on the answer the person wrote. That is why it takes 2 reviewers to accept those changes. 2 reviewers who actually review it.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;End Discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="98855" LastEditorUserId="98855" LastEditDate="2014-12-16T12:28:39.897" LastActivityDate="2014-12-16T12:28:39.897" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was unaware of the effort you had put into creating the tag wikis and it wasn't my intention to rain on your parade.  It would help if you could post links to the specific questions.  For now, I can only respond from memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do remember seeing one or two of these.  My recollection is that these were edits to modify the existing tags on other people's questions.  I remember having several thoughts on the proposed edits.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One was that the term &quot;tagged pdf&quot; did not appear in the questions, themselves.  I'm familiar with what the term represents based on your description, above, but I was not familiar with the term, itself.  So one reaction was to question whether the tag was appropriate or the change was necessary.  I was guided partly by the fact that it was not needed before, including when the edited questions were created.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My other reaction was to question whether the tag was useful and helped the question.  On SU, most of the PDF questions are much more basic.  In the SU scheme of things, there aren't a lot of questions specifically about that facet, so it didn't seem like creating a special tag for those one or two questions would be useful and it would add to tag bloat.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In terms of whether it would be helpful, the purpose of a tag is to attract the right people to answer the question.  Lots of people are familiar with the concept of a tagged PDF, but unless I'm an exception, some of those people may not be familiar with the term.  A [tagged-pdf] tag would attract only people familiar with the term.  The [pdf] tag attracts those people plus others.  I thought that using [tagged-pdf] could hurt those questions by unnecessarily limiting who might respond.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So rejecting the edits was done with a focus on those questions.  At least on SU, I think [tagged-pdf] could be detrimental to getting a wide response.  However, if you want to create the tag for your own questions, I have no objection.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2014-12-18T02:14:49.140" LastActivityDate="2014-12-18T02:14:49.140" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It has some other connotations and uses that could legitimately be on topic (not that it has necessarily been used in those ways in the past). There are 150 questions to review to see if any of those are an on-topic use.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggestion:&lt;/strong&gt; cull the [freeware] tags as a first step.  Many serve no function for the question and are simply unnecessary.  Some may be clearly off-topic.  That will reduce the questions list to a more manageable number.  Then we can review the remaining existing uses and have a meaningful discussion of the merits of the tag or the need for any replacement tags.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the off-topic questions, only a minority of the questions are closed or on hold.  This suggests that there are some on-topic uses, perhaps needing a better tag.  Tag deletion for off-topic use, and closure for the same reason should go hand-in-hand.  We should review the questions and flag those that are off-topic.  When (and if), they are put on hold/closed, there is no longer a question about tag removal for those questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A few considerations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I'll preface this by saying the following considerations may not justify keeping the [freeware] tag, or they may suggest using a better tag in some cases.  The point is only the need to identify the facts and issues, and have the discussion before we arbitrarily delete all of the [freeware] tags.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freeware is often used to mean open-source, and people don't use a thesaurus to pick tags.  Keeping it, with a wiki summary that points relevant questions to the right tag, could be useful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;We ask posters to narrow their requirements as much as possible.  A common requirement is that any solution must be free.  A [freeware] tag does that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Freeware&quot; is often used to refer to the ubiquitous free drivers and utilities that many people consider essentially an expansion of the OS bundle.  We often treat those differently on SU from applications, particularly if it involves solving a specific problem rather than engaging in a general activity.  There is also a difference between selecting the right tool from what is already there (or likely to be there for many people, or &quot;should&quot; be there), and shopping for something new.  &quot;Freeware&quot; is a poor word choice for this and I'd have to think about what might be better; or perhaps no tag is needed for this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags can serve a secondary purpose, to assist with screening and housekeeping.  People are going to ask their questions.  We might as well make it easy to spot the off-topic ones.  A wiki excerpt that warns that the question is probably off topic, may deter a few bad questions.  The tag can also serve as a magnet for scrutiny, making it easier to spot likely off-topic questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The existing questions may include some other uses that warrant a tag; if not [freeware] than something more specific. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2015-01-01T19:47:24.280" LastActivityDate="2015-01-01T19:47:24.280" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

They deal with why they are unacceptable or how to phrase the question.  However, there is a grey area as to what is actually considered a shopping question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A simple definition would be if the question deals with software or hardware you don't already own, and it isn't to solve a problem with something you already own, it's a shopping question.  However, we seem to make a lot of exceptions to this simplistic rule. For example: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anything needed to make an existing system operational (drivers, diagnostic utilities, etc.), seems to always be on-topic.  Is this correct?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Software requests that deal with non-critical system issues, or enhancement to the computer infrastructure (hardware/OS), tend to get a pass.  This is especially true if they are focused on a narrow issue (I need a utility to adjust the system clock).  Software of this nature that has more of an &quot;application&quot; flavor, like backup software (which also deals with user files), is sometimes deemed off-topic.  How do the rules apply in this area?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the area of using the computer as a tool to do something, software to perform a general activity (I need an image editor), is clearly off topic.

Is that a shopping request?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Might the expected size of the answer list be a driving factor?

A question about what diagnostic utility to use would also be considered a product recommendation question unless phrased in such a way that it deals with the actual problem at hand that needs to be solved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Software requests that deal with non-critical system issues, or enhancement to the computer infrastructure (hardware/OS), tend to get a pass.

(What can't you accomplish with your built-in OS settings? What's the real problem to be solved? Don't ask about a tool to do something, ask about how to get something done, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In the area of using the computer as a tool to do something, software to perform a general activity (I need an image editor), is clearly off topic. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Phrased in that way, yes.

We don't allow product recommendation questions because they attract many answers which are often of low quality (just a link, &quot;I like XYZ&quot;, etc.).

That's how &lt;a href=&quot;https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Software Recommendations&lt;/a&gt; works.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's where I personally would let questions pass if they're seeking an app to do something. Especially when it's blatantly obvious that the answer &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; be a piece of software. And when the question can hardly be rephrased into &quot;How do I solve this problem?&quot;. Those questions are sometimes closed by the community, of course. And perhaps they're right to do so.

An edit that introduces such a change is correct, and one that removes it is wrong. I think the bold text in the answer you're asking about is an example, and it shouldn't have been edited out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think it's such a minor change that it hardly seems worth an edit. If someone puts their entire post in bold (oops, I mean &lt;em&gt;strong importance&lt;/em&gt;), or uses it for one sentence out of a two-sentence post, or something like that, then sure, by all means edit that out. Alternatively, if the post is &lt;em&gt;extremely&lt;/em&gt; long and there is a sentence that provides a good short summary somewhere in it, then I could see it being correct to edit &lt;code&gt;**...**&lt;/code&gt; around that sentence. But neither of those things appear to be the case here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Either way, I can't see how the edit that removed the bold formatting was justified. Whether your edit to introduce the bold was justified in the first place, I could see that going either way, but that's not really the point of this question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2419" LastActivityDate="2015-01-06T07:19:58.543" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The discussion has flowed back and forth, and I'm honestly not entirely sure how I feel about that one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A tag like &quot;free&quot; to impose constraints on the answers poses much the same problems.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A good measure in my mind for whether a tag is useful is: can you say &quot;I am an expert in tag-name&quot; without making it sound silly? &quot;I am an expert in windows-7&quot; is a reasonable thing to say, if perhaps rather broad. &quot;I am an expert in data-recovery&quot; is also similarly reasonable.

Such constraints instead go better in the questions themselves; for example, a data-recovery question might say &quot;I am willing to spend a maximum of about $1000 on getting my files back&quot;.

Apologize for the length…&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;I work on the Chrome team so I wanted to help communicate about &lt;a href=&quot;http://lifehacker.com/how-to-disable-chromes-new-user-menu-1679224275&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this change&lt;/a&gt;. It's a big and contentious change. I myself don't like it and apparently a bunch of users don't like it either. When they don't like it, they go googling for information on how to fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;StackExchange sites are pretty much the perfect search result for people looking for answers; they're up-to-date, community maintained and are on the bleeding edge.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I think it makes sense to have some knowledge shared on this platform that is more authoritative than some of the guesses, hacks, and this-is-what-i-figured out answers. I'm not admonishing those answers, and in fact, I leave them too. But it's awfully nice when you can get more context and a fuller answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Previously I've done this before by way of a self-answered question. It's a really effective means of communicating about an unwanted change: &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/q/18365315/89484&quot;&gt;https://stackoverflow.com/q/18365315/89484&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to do the same thing on &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/805279/how-do-i-disable-the-profiles-button-in-chrome&quot;&gt;this issue&lt;/a&gt; because people are confused, googling for help and trying to understand what's going on. This information is available in Chrome's user forums, but they're hardly discoverable for most people. So I added a self-answered question to superuser: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/866979/whats-the-new-user-menu-in-google-chrome/&quot;&gt;What&amp;#39;s the new user menu in Google Chrome?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It was closed as a duplicate, and I saw a variant of the question had already been asked before. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So why did I edit the existing accepted answer instead of adding a new one?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First up, multiple answers that are voted separately obviously imply they are competing answers. What I had to share didn't compete with the existing answer; it was including additional information and resources. This appears to be inline with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/editing&quot;&gt;editing guidelines&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be specific to this Chrome UI issue, people will be searching for a fix because of three reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;they don't use profiles and don't need this&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;it's slower than before and that sucks&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;it's in an weird error state and communicating unclearly.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They sound pretty distinct concerns here as I spell them out but to users all three start with a search of &lt;code&gt;how disable chrome profiles button&lt;/code&gt;.

It appears that recently-flagged questions dominate what is presented.  Questions are entering the queue at about the same rate as they are being cleared.  However, the queue has built up over a long period.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reviews Don't Reach Completion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One side-effect of this process is that the review starts for a question, it receives some number of votes, but is then buried in the queue by newer questions and the review is never finished.  In a sense, the voting has been wasted because despite the reviews, the question becomes just another item in a stagnant collection that is in varying states of completion.  The queue contains questions that are a few votes short of disposition (close or don't close), but they never make it back to being presented.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reviews Are Not Used Efficiently&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is another aspect that affects how quickly the queue is cleared.  There are &quot;X&quot; reviews performed per day, and that is what is available for clearing the queue.  How those reviews are used can make a big difference in how far they go.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On some questions, the close issues are clear-cut and opinions unanimous.  On others, opinions are mixed.  On clear-cut questions, five reviews produces a disposition.  On questions with mixed opinions, it can take close to ten reviews.  The available reviews go twice as far in clearing the queue when they are focused on clear-cut questions.  Beyond just efficiency, the disposition of clear-cut questions is more important than for ones lacking agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strategies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These two factors suggest two things that can be done to more quickly clear the queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;When selecting questions to present for review, mix in a certain percentage of older questions that are just a couple of votes short of a disposition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second strategy applies to both new and old questions.  Questions would get prioritized based on  the expected number of additional votes needed to reach a disposition. This is based on the question's ratio of close votes to keep-open votes to date.  Clear-cut questions that can be resolved with the fewest expected additional votes get the highest priority.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2015-02-04T08:10:18.670" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Once there, I saw what was up, and from the question page (not in the review queue) I flagged the answer as &quot;Not an answer.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, I returned to the review queue. The &lt;code&gt;I'm Done&lt;/code&gt; button was grayed out, so I clicked &lt;code&gt;flag&lt;/code&gt; there, but it told me I'd already flagged the answer. The &lt;code&gt;I'm Done&lt;/code&gt; button was still grayed out, so I opted to click &lt;code&gt;No Action Needed&lt;/code&gt; thinking no harm would come from it since I had raised the flag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fast forward to today, and I saw my flag was disputed.

Feel free to flag a post when you see something wrong. We occasionally have to delete (older) posts of other moderators for quality problems or other issues. And we try not to handle flags on our own posts either, for obvious reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Back to the topic. Your flag reason was:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;spam answer that goes to user's blog&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Seeing that in context makes it clear why the moderator who handled your flag chose to answer like they did:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Post does disclose affiliation with the link. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's one of the most important criteria when evaluating possible spam posts. Generally, we let posts pass when they're actually useful &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; the author discloses their affiliation. Of course, that doesn't mean you can get away with only posting about your product or website. But if you're honest about it and your post doesn't just include a link, you're generally fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/promotion&quot;&gt;How to not be a spammer&lt;/a&gt; outlines these rules, too, in case you're interested.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Also it's from 2009, back when HowToGeek was an SU moderator.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This part clarifies the fact that it's not just &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; user that only visited Super User to promote their product.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And you're of course right. It would be better to replace all indirect links to blogs that describe some tool with a direct one, if possible. With The How-To Geek it's a bit of a peculiar thing since he has a popular website with (generally) helpful posts. Those are easy enough to link to, and it's not very likely that the website will become unavailable any time soon. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please keep in mind that he hasn't posted an answer since 2009. Back then, our quality standards were quite low compared to today. We still keep finding old posts that need to be cleaned up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd also like to point out that we shouldn't just hunt down old link-only answers to delete them. That's the easy way out. But if those have upvotes and we know that they solved many users' problems, deleting these posts does more harm than good. They should really be edited to include the important parts here—at least if it's possible to do so without major efforts. And this is something you can even do yourself!

There are probably tens of thousands of existing such answers, with more streaming in daily, that would qualify as low-quality:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try XYZ.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try XYZ (link).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try XYZ (link).

Many questions are worded, &quot;What is a good tool to solve this problem?&quot;, and the answers are just a large collection of such software recommendations.  At least if the question was worded, &quot;How do I solve this problem?&quot;, such answers would more clearly be inadequate.  And when the existing answers are just a list of &quot;Try this program&quot;, new users add more such recommendations to the list.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Potential Value in Low-Quality Answers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the absence of high quality answers, such recommendations can be better than nothing, and may be sufficient to help the OP.  So I'm hesitant to simply flag these for deletion. However, it leaves the SU knowledgebase full of low-quality examples and information that gets outdated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What To Do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which brings me to the question of what to do about it.  When I see new answers like the examples above, I leave a comment pointing the poster to this Meta link: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/how-do-i-recommend-software-in-my-answers&quot;&gt;How to recommend software in my answers&lt;/a&gt;.

However, it's usually difficult to judge whether the recommendation is worth keeping and improving.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to get some guidance before I flag a bunch of answers inappropriately or create a lot of work for our moderators.  Should we:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Close old questions that are attracting more such answers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edit the question to discourage low-quality answers (which doesn't address existing answers)?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flag such answers for a moderator to move them to a comment (along with any useful comments on the answer)?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flag such answers for deletion?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T09:30:19.973" LastActivityDate="2015-03-01T00:46:39.213" Title="How to handle low-quality software recommendation answers?"

They are borderline cases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ok, now the last 5 questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;36&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Como funciona a compactação de um arquivo zip?

(&lt;em&gt;Why is PNG a better format than JPG?&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think that those 5 questions are clearly on-topic on SOpt. But even then, I think that none of them is something like our typical questions. So, it is pretty clear that &lt;strong&gt;SUpt is not the same as SOpt&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By the way, lets see this &lt;strong&gt;closed as off-topic&lt;/strong&gt; question on SOpt: &lt;a href=&quot;https://pt.stackoverflow.com/questions/52351/uso-o-skype-significa-que-tenho-uma-porta-aberta&quot;&gt;https://pt.stackoverflow.com/questions/52351/uso-o-skype-significa-que-tenho-uma-porta-aberta&lt;/a&gt; its title translated to English would be &quot;&lt;em&gt;I am using Skype, does this means that I have an open port?&lt;/em&gt;&quot; - It is a real question that was closed as off-topic because it is not within the scope of the site. Users posted comments inviting the OP to join the SUpt proposal, as this would be a nice question on SUpt.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But what would happen if we simply enlarged the scope of SOpt? In my humble opinion, this would discharacterize and defocus the SOpt site. I think that doing this would be harmful, and I know of a lot of people who thinks the same.

However, the answers don't address some specific issues:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Situation: OP states he is using Excel 2010 and tags the question as such.  The question relates to the proper syntax for a worksheet function, which is the same in all versions of Excel.  The 2010 tag is harmful in this case because it deflects others from finding a generic Excel Q&amp;amp;A that applies to all other versions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Shouldn't such a  question to have a version-agnostic tag? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the question referenced at the top, the advice seems to be to use a version-specific tag when the question is version-specific and a version-agnostic tag is the question is not.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/8801/364367&quot;&gt;This answer&lt;/a&gt; to a related Meta question seems to indicate that a version-specific tag is preferable (and I seem to recall other discussion on Meta that version-specific tags are always preferable).

There is a feature or bug that applies to versions 8 and 9, and only those versions.  OP writes a question about it and tags it with version 8, which is what he uses.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should the version 9 tag be added to help others who use version 9 and might not spot the Q&amp;amp;A if it is tagged only with version 8? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Situation: OP writes a generic Excel question and then tags it with every version-specific Excel tag that will fit in order to attract the widest possible viewership.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should the author's preferences be respected and the tags left alone?  or&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should the tags be cleaned up (and the OP can replace them if he doesn't like the change)? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:44.773" LastActivityDate="2015-03-05T21:34:16.337" Title="General Tag vs. Version Tag, and Multiple Version Tags" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The answer discussion and comments talk about the need to provide a solution.  Although the answer has been heavily upvoted, the example it contains is basically just an advertisement for the software.  It is loaded with general information unrelated to a specific question, and lacks a solution to anything.  I added a sample solution to the example so that it meets what we say is the minimum requirement.  However, the edit was rolled back.  So our canonical answer is apparently that a solutionless answer is the goal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me re-frame the issue and see if there is consensus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software lists are undesireable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Q: Name an application that has this feature.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;/code&gt;That would be off-topic because the answers would be a list of software titles.  Many questions worded &quot;How do I solve XYZ&quot; are intended or interpreted in exactly that way, and the result is a list of software titles.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it only such a question that is off-topic, or does an answer that is nothing more than a response to that question meet the definition of an answer on SU?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the first link, above, my impression was that a software title alone, or with a nebulous assertion of applicability, would not be considered an answer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, we routinely advise questioners, whose desire is a software list, to circumvent the system by asking a &quot;How do I solve XYZ&quot; question, anticipating a software list for answers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These seem mutually exclusive.

That answer would need to contain a link to the software and probably some general information about it, but the primary thing it would still need is the solution to the question.

(ppphhht thanks jerk, real helpful)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) With this (arbitrary) program you would , select the disk you are intending to convert, in the activity  menu you select Convert GPT -&gt; MBR   (yea ok, I can tell you have done this before, you expert!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) When I converted partitions From GPT to MBR before, I used this (arbitrary) program , and everything worked out good.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;First You should always Back-Up any disk prior to converting it.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Even backup all your disks in case you make the misteaks my brother did.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;A MBR partition will only be 2Gig in size, so if your disk or array is larger then . . . .&lt;br&gt;&#xA;BLA bla Bla bla bla bla&lt;br&gt;&#xA;20 pages later &#xA;. . . in the activity menu you select Convert GPT -&gt; MBR&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This process takes a lot of time  . . . .

It would be great if newcomers to the site could access the information in an intuitive way to see if their question is already answered.  Short of that, more experienced users should be able to find these to suggest a starting point for the OP and to close duplicates.  It would be great if access to this was through a tab on the main page.  But we don't have this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What we have is an arcane index system that no newcomer would understand and only the most experienced users are fluent at using.  It requires a coded, multi-parameter search, often followed by reviewing numerous questions to find the applicable one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community-faq&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Community-faq was an attempt to at least label the canonical Q&amp;amp;A, and since there aren't that many entries, it isn't too hard to scan through them (or add another search parameter).  However, there aren't that many of the common questions that have received definitive answers and been tagged.  So community-faq is not a good solution, at least now (and never will be if we close it).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frequent Tab&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;frequent&quot; tab is pretty good.  But it exists only for tags, not for search terms.  I have no idea what &quot;links&quot; means, and can't find a definition (citations?  views?  identified as a duplicate?), but it conveys a general sense of relevance.  It can't be combined with search terms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Search&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For search terms, you could use the &quot;votes&quot; tab to get close, although there is a lot of noise because definitive answers aren't always heavily upvoted, and the oddest posts often become wildly popular.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tag Wiki&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the tag wiki, like the virus example, could eventually be useful, at least for experienced users; no newcomer would think to look there.  But until most of the canonical Q&amp;amp;A is listed in the wikis, nobody will bother to look there.  Plus, this is tied to single tags, which are often much broader than search terms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So getting back to community-faq, yeah, it's a lousy meta tag.  It's the worst solution except for all of the others.  And it does have several advantages. You can combine it with other search terms, and it is easy to add questions to the collection using the existing infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommendation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Right now, we don't have a good solution implemented for canonical Q&amp;amp;A.

The question was written by someone working in a company.

The problem is in a business setting, but otherwise on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm trying to understand what the definition of corporate IT support means in terms of whether a question is off topic.  I'm guessing we don't want to be technical support for people whose job it is to provide IT services (or organizations that would like free support from SU rather than incur the in-house support cost).  Other than that, I have no idea exactly what situation SU seeks to avoid with this off-topic rule.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does the rule refer just to problems in a setting for which an IT organization exists?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does it apply to any problems in a commercial or government organization of a nature that should be handled by an IT department, regardless of whether the organization has chosen to have one?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does it apply to a tiny business, say a couple of person company running their business on home-style computers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does it apply to any problems in an organizational setting outside the home?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I looked at this Meta question: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/7377/what-makes-a-question-specific-to-corporate-it-support&quot;&gt;What makes a question &quot;specific to corporate IT support&quot;?&lt;/a&gt; and it didn't help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:06.730" LastActivityDate="2015-03-30T07:37:31.707" Title="What is the definition of &quot;corporate IT support&quot;?"

I can't recall an exception to the guidance for what software recommendation answers &lt;strong&gt;should&lt;/strong&gt; contain.  The issue was what to do about answers that don't follow those guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Numerous posts seemed to indicate that link-only answers (which would include software recs), are unacceptable (including &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/deleted-answers&quot;&gt;Help: Why are answers deleted&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;barely more than a link to an external site&quot;).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many other posts discuss that an on-topic question should state a problem to solve, not request a list of software titles, and an answer should describe how to solve that problem.  From the same &quot;reasons for deletion&quot; help topic: &quot;Answers that do not fundamentally answer the question&quot;.  So a link-only software rec answers only an off-topic question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which led to the basic issue: to be an answer, must a software rec describe how to solve the problem?  If it doesn't contain a solution, is it not an answer (subject to the &quot;Not an answer&quot; flag)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It turns out that the bottom line has already been answered.

Its main use is for things that are the wrong type of post (something other than an answer).

My question here is whether certain kinds of link-only answers would generally be considered an acceptable answer as-is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Situation: The link is to a good tutorial that answers the question (say a video or extensive pictures that explain something that is difficult to explain without them).  Trying to extract the essential information would be impractical and would eliminate the value/benefits of the tutorial, which was the purpose for posting the link. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Situation: The question is too broad (&quot;good answers would be too long for this format&quot;).  Someone posts a link-only answer before the question is closed (or the question is never closed), and the link is a treatise on the subject, which is what is required to answer the question; way too long to paste or extract the essential information.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Same situation as above, but the link is simply overkill for an on-topic question.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At some point, the link may break and the answer will be useless.  In the meantime, we're sending the reader somewhere else for the actual answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume that deletion would not be desirable in these cases because helpful information would be lost.  So if action &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; appropriate, it would be moving the link to a comment or downvoting the answer.  In this case, downvoting isn't useful; it's not practical to improve the answer so it would just cast doubt on the content.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Two questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should anything be done with these kinds of answers, or are they considered acceptable as-is?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If action is appropriate, might flagging these (or other link-only posts), result in a declined flag?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The issue with most link-only posts is answer quality, which flags are not supposed to be used for.  The previous question explored whether there was an element of &quot;not an answer&quot; (should be a comment, instead), which would have been a basis for a flag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on Random's comment, below, I'll assume that if flagging is appropriate, it should be a custom flag with an explanation. However, is flagging &quot;universally recognized&quot; as the recommended action here, or might the flag being declined depend on which moderator handles the flag and/or other factors?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T09:30:19.973" LastActivityDate="2015-04-06T00:35:02.833" Title="Are certain kinds of link-only answers acceptable?"

The comment will read, &lt;em&gt;&quot;Possible duplicate of [link]&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, or something like, &lt;em&gt;&quot;This may already be answered here [link]&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;em&gt;&quot;See if this answers your question [link]&quot;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We don't want duplication within SU, so there is a specific objective for doing this.

However, exactly the same information is conveyed in a link-only answer.

They can be moved to a comment, at least in some circumstances. However, having been posted as an answer instead of a comment, the objective is heroic measures to improve it rather than simply re-categorizing it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Differential handling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So &lt;em&gt;&quot;Look over there for your answer [link]&quot;&lt;/em&gt; is a comment if the link is within SU and an answer if the link is external.

The original question has a number of other identical suggestions, including a comment by Journeyman Geek, and tombull89's answer, complete with picture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answer was picked for the audit because it received 12 upvotes (which likely occurred because it was an early answer and the first answer to mention the tables).  In the audit, however, it is presented as a new answer to an older question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a &quot;new&quot; answer, it probably should be deleted because it does nothing more than regurgitate an idea already mentioned several times, and covered well in another answer; it adds no additional value.  It also contains an admission by the author that someone else had already suggested the idea, so it's really just a &quot;me too&quot; post in this context.  Responding to the audit appropriately produces the wrong result.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A four year old &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/first-posts/366982&quot;&gt;link-only software recommendation&lt;/a&gt; that received 14 upvotes and was the accepted answer.  It was presented as a new answer, which is unacceptable today.  I got dinged immediately upon posting a comment suggesting that the author read the canonical Meta post on software recommendation answers.  Even if there is no mechanism to identify and cull bad audit questions, at least the selection bot should be smart enough to skip answers from years ago that contain just two sentences and a link. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:04.797" LastActivityDate="2015-04-21T07:06:14.117" Title="Mechanism for scrapping bad audit questions?"

Querants who are unwilling to ask a question that expands the scope &lt;em&gt;just a little&lt;/em&gt;, from the immediate &quot;tech support&quot; problem they're having, into a question that asks, &lt;em&gt;give me a piece of knowledge&lt;/em&gt;, should be prepared to have their question's vote status set accordingly, and possibly closed if it's egregiously bad (poorly worded, hard to understand, rant-filled, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't think we're being too harsh when we're not upvoting, or actively downvoting, bad questions.

The Meta discussions you linked to focus on obsolete information, and that is one source of the problem.  But I have a different take on a more prevalent cause of the phenomenon.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You mention one downvote leading to more.  Voting doesn't affect movement to the active questions list, so random successive downvotes on an old post are unlikely.  Most of the cases I've seen were because someone had contributed a new answer, or a spammer searched for a suitable question to use as an excuse to post an answer.  That pushes the question into the active list, where it gets rediscovered.  There are also many cases of someone discovering an old question or answer and editing it to improve or update it.  That similarly bumps the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have not seen any questions or answers downvoted solely on the basis of being about old technology, or correctness that may have changed over time (this just reflects relative prevalence).  But I have seen many old questios, and answers, downvoted on the basis of site standards having changed over time.  The issue you raise about protecting old posts applies to these, as well, and may be a more commonplace problem. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Maybe the biggest source of such delayed downvoting is software/hardware recommendations.  These were commonplace many years ago, and still accepted even a few years ago.  They've become more taboo in maybe the last year.  I've seen many of these downvoted on that basis.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community expectations for question and answer quality have also risen.  Many of the very old questions and answers are lacking in quality by today's standards.  I've seen many of these get recent downvotes on that basis after being reactivated by new activity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions that are no longer on topic, like software recs, should be closed, and retained if they received useful answers, but downvoting long after they were considered acceptable is probably inappropriate.  I could see a warning, like your suggestion #1, being expanded to include changing site standards as well as technology age. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions, and answers, that are simply low quality can be improved, and an argument can be made that there should not be a time limit on that.  However, old posts that were originally considered acceptable might be candidates for protection like &quot;conditional&quot; downvotes (downvotes that trigger a notice to the voter if the post is edited so the downvote can potentially be retracted and not permanently prejudice the post).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2015-05-25T19:09:49.947" LastActivityDate="2015-05-25T19:09:49.947" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example a question on how to copy and paste in a Windows 7 command prompt shouldn't talk about that capability being different in Windows 10 and being able to do it with a keyboard shortcut.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This leads to the second point, the answer should in detail answer the question proposed, a statement the author of an answer, does not explain how to SOLVE the problem then it can't possibly be considered an answer.  Stackexchange websites are about answers not questions honestly, all it takes to make a good question, is one person to understand what the question actually is and explain how to solve that problem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The third, and perhaps the most important reason, but only listed last for no particular reason.  An answer shouldn't produce additional questions.  If an author of an answer is asking questions, like asking for system information, that is more of a comment, and best done outside of an answer.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since I almost forgot this, I won't even give it a ranking, an answer should be self-contained.  It after all is an answer to a question.  You don't answer a question, when you are talking, by telling somebody to click on a link to more about a subject when asked &quot;what would you link to order?&quot;  You just answer the question, and order, what you would like.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should also speak from a stance of authority.  If you use the words &quot;I believe ...&quot; the you better be able support that stance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/low-quality-posts/382809&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/review/low-quality-posts/382809&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Mount your external drives to a server with NFS and Samba.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This statement is an action statement, but there is no explanation, of how to perform that action.  This type of an answer is what Q&amp;amp;A websites were like before Stackexchange, in other words, its complete rubbish.  &lt;strong&gt;Anyone&lt;/strong&gt; could have told the user to mount their external drives to a server.  It isn't helpful to anyone honestly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course if one takes a literal view at the question.  One can see this statement does not answer the question.  So you are left with an irrelevant statement about NFS and Samba.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I would like my external drives to be readable and writable from Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.  FAT32 works, but ....Are there any alternatives?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the author is asking for ways to share external drives with OS X, Linux, and Windows.  Multiple answers explained what file systems could be used across those platforms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can also looked at your failed audit: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/first-posts/382819&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/review/first-posts/382819&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Borrow/buy a USB keyboard to do the pre-boot stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the user's question indicates that he has known the keyboard won't work before Windows boots.  He also explains he normally just let it crash or automatically pick the option, and he was willing to accept this.  He wants to know the following.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Is there a way to change a file with something such as a Linux live CD&#xA;  to force the computer to skip the start-up repair menu?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the answer to &quot;is there a way to change a file with something&quot; is to burrow a USB keyboard? Lets just put aside the fact, if the built-in keyboard isn't working before Windows boots its very unlikely a USB keyboard is going to work either.  Even if this solution did work, it does not answer the author's actual question, &lt;strong&gt;how to bypass the start-up repair menu.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you are left with a below average comment, broken by the technical facts of the problem, which should have been researched before even submitting the answer.

The answer to his literal question, (which did contain his proposed solution), could not possibly help anyone, since the answer is obvious to anyone.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;He simply wanted to know if reformatting via a factory reset, would fix his wasted winsxs space problem.  So I restated his question, &quot;&lt;strong&gt;If I run the Acer factory reset ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12869/~/how-do-i-restore-my-computer-using-the-erecovery-management-program%3F&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12869/~/how-do-i-restore-my-computer-using-the-erecovery-management-program%3F&lt;/a&gt;), this will this delete my winsxs folder and all applications are also deleted. Will this substantially reduce the size of my winsxs folder so I can regain this space?&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since most often, I can't be an expert or will have done extensive research required to really understand many questions in depth, I don't intend to fix questions, provide or edit answers, or add comments if I don't know the subject matter. So I'll never show very many edits. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I'm really asking is this:  Is the purpose of this site to both help the questioner, and especially inform any other readers?  I think it is, or certainly should be.  If so, it seems that peer review or at least appeal, should be done by peers that are extremely knowledgeable in their very narrow field addressed by the real questions, rather than a generalists that copy and paste the rejection reasons.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this instance, I'd rather know specifically what the question should have been, rather than the obvious nonsensical question such as, 'are my files deleted when I reformat my drive', which to me is drivel that is a complete waste of everyone's time, and should be deleted, if not improved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suggest that the reasons for rejection must contain relevant critique that shows that the rejector thoroughly understands the subject.  As an alternative or in an additional &lt;strong&gt;feature request, there should be an &quot;appeal button&quot; on that editor's rejections page, which would then escalate the edits to someone knowledgeable on that subject.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there an appeal process I not aware of?

It was not about using a particular database management system or software. As such, it was not on topic here and belonged on Stack Overflow instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the difference between your question and VBA questions, the key difference is that VBA does not exist in isolation. It is a language that is necessarily tied to Microsoft Office software, questions about which are within the scope of Super User. As stated above, your question was purely about SQL syntax, not about using software. Hence, it wasn't a very good fit for Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is precedence for VBA questions being migrated to Stack Overflow, too. When a question is purely about syntax, or, for lack of better description, about programmer-level issues (as opposed to user-level issues), it can be migrated to SO.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For what it's worth, having a question migrated isn't a bad thing.

Indeed, a lot of what&#xA;  I’ve read (aside from the JEDEC standard itself) seems to largely&#xA;  consist of totally unsubstantiated and, often, perfectly contradictory&#xA;  claims.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;h1&gt;Summary of findings&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Compatibility can be assessed by reviewing the detailed specifications of the memory controller (now typically built into the&#xA;  CPU), the mainboard and the memory modules to be installed&#xA;  (particularly, their SPD data).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In the absence of detailed specifications, the safest choice&#xA;  obviously consists of following the recommendations of the mainboard&#xA;  and/or CPU manufacturer and to match (in capacity and performance) all&#xA;  memory modules on a channel. But you knew that already.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;SPD (serial presence detect) is a standardised way of retrieving manufacturing and performance information from memory modules. Most&#xA;  DDR SDRAM memory modules have an EEPROM storing SPD data (the&#xA;  specifications of the memory module will normally confirm whether that&#xA;  is the case). The startup firmware on most mainboards support reading&#xA;  SPD data from memory modules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;At startup, the POST (power-on self-test) process will read the SPD&#xA;  data from all memory modules and automatically select a speed profile&#xA;  compatible with all modules (and with the controller), unless a manual&#xA;  configuration override was entered by the user (assuming that the&#xA;  mainboard and its BIOS support such manual configuration). It will&#xA;  load the relevant values into the registers of the memory controller&#xA;  and then send an initialisation sequence to each memory module.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Many mainboards (particularly, those designed for desktop computers)&#xA;  also support manual configuration in the BIOS setup utility.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Automatic configuration will generally not cause hardware damage and&#xA;  generally guarantees that the components will run reliably, if not at&#xA;  peak performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Manual selection could cause damage to (or reduce the lifespan of)&#xA;  hardware components (memory modules, mainboard, chipset or CPU). For&#xA;  example, a CPU may not tolerate the voltage required by a memory&#xA;  module for maximal performance. The safest choice is to never exceed&#xA;  1.5 V for DDR3 and DDR3L (1.25 V for DDR3U). Incorrect manual configuration of performance parameters (operating frequency, timing&#xA;  parameters) will merely result in system instability and operational&#xA;  failure. Manual configuration may be required to obtain peak&#xA;  performance operation of components, but the practical gains (in the&#xA;  context of desktop applications) are generally insignificant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Automatic (SPD-data driven) configuration will select, for the entire channel, the operational configuration (operating frequency and&#xA;  timing parameters) accommodating the slowest component (this could be&#xA;  one of the memory modules in the channel, or the memory controller).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because the same voltage is applied to all modules in the channel, DDR3U (1.25 V) must not be mixed with DDR3L (1.35 and 1.5 V) and DDR3&#xA;  (1.5 V) modules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;DDR3L modules are designed to operate not only at 1.35 V but also at&#xA;  1.5 V, so they may be mixed with ordinary DDR3 modules and installed on mainboards designed for ordinary DDR3 modules; in those cases, they&#xA;  will operate at 1.5 V, like ordinary DDR3 modules. In other words,&#xA;  DDR3L modules will operate at 1.35 V only if not mixed with 1.5 V DDR3&#xA;  modules and installed on a mainboard specifically designed to support&#xA;  1.35 V DDR3L modules. Note that the same cannot said of DDR3U modules, which only operate at 1.25 V.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multi-channel operation generally comes with conditions for it to be enabled:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Memory modules must be installed in multiples (of 2 for dual-channel operation, 3 for triple-channel, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Memory modules must be installed in the right slots: fill the first slots of all channels; then the second slot of all channels, etc.; the&#xA;  slots may be colour-coded, but different manufacturers use&#xA;  contradictory schemes, so check the specifications of the mainboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Memory modules may need to match in capacity and/or (less frequently) performance, depending on implementation (capabilities of&#xA;  the memory controller) and mode of operation (interleaving is likely&#xA;  to require matching capacity).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If those conditions are not satisfied, the memory controller will&#xA;  normally simply revert to single-channel operation with little impact&#xA;  on actual system performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The impact on performance of relatively small variations in data transfer rate and latency (as obtained by switching grades of DDR3&#xA;  memory and tweaking parameters) are debated and often considered&#xA;  mostly (or totally) insignificant in the context of desktop&#xA;  applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Compared to single-channel operation, dual-channel operation seems to&#xA;  only offer a very small improvement (a few percent) in overall system&#xA;  performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Interleaving seems undesirable for typical desktop and server&#xA;  applications (multi-threaded operation).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;h1&gt;Answers to my questions&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, automatic configuration is normally the default scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Most DDR3 SDRAM memory modules support SPD (serial presence detect),&#xA;  which enables software to retrieve the manufacturing and operational&#xA;  properties of the memory module.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;At POST, the system firmware will read the SPD data from all memory&#xA;  modules and automatically select a speed profile compatible with all&#xA;  modules (and with the controller), unless a manual configuration&#xA;  override was entered by the user (assuming that the mainboard and its&#xA;  BIOS support such manual configuration).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In all likelihood, the system will simply select a speed profile compatible with all components (controller and memory modules) and no&#xA;  operational problem will arise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2.1. No.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It is true that most DDR3 SDRAM memory controllers only support a&#xA;  few DDR3 speed profiles (all standard speed profiles up to a maximum&#xA;  speed that depends on the controller itself).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the highest speed profile supported by a controller&#xA;  may be dependent on the hardware configuration: number of memory&#xA;  module slots on the motherboard (whether they are populated or not),&#xA;  number of installed modules, number of ranks in the installed memory&#xA;  modules, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;However, when installing modules that support a speed higher than&#xA;  the controller can handle, a lower operational speed can safely be&#xA;  selected. Indeed, automatic configuration will do just that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2.2. Very unlikely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Most systems will adjust operating frequency and timing parameters&#xA;  automatically, using SPD data retrieved from the memory modules and a&#xA;  speed profile selection algorithm specified in the JESD79 DDR3 SDRAM&#xA;  standard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2.3. No.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The controller can support all standard timing parameters for the&#xA;  standard DDR3 speed profiles that it supports. Timing parameters are&#xA;  specified by the JEDEC standard, for each speed profile.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2.4. No.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A DDR3 memory module will support all standard DDR3 operating&#xA;  frequencies up to its rated maximum. This enables a memory controller&#xA;  to use any DDR3 SDRAM memory module, though not necessarily at the&#xA;  highest speed supported by the module.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2.5. No.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Several CAS latency values are specified by the DDR3 standard for&#xA;  each speed profile, and all DDR3 must support, at least, CL 6.&#xA;  Therefore, the controller is always able to select timings suitable&#xA;  for the selected operating frequency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the new memory is added to a system with an older memory module, and the capacity and/or performance profile of the new module does not&#xA;  match those of the old module:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The upgraded system will operate at a speed accommodating the slowest component. This could be less than the maximal speed of the&#xA;  new module. If the new module is slower than the old module, this&#xA;  could even be less than the speed previously selected. However, the&#xA;  impact on overall system performance is unlikely to be noticeable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multi-channel operation may not be possible (depending on the controller; in that case, single-channel operation will be used).&#xA;  However, the impact on overall system performance is unlikely to be&#xA;  noticeable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3.1. No. A memory module normally supports several CAS latency values, enabling it to be used at different operating frequencies. The&#xA;  system will pick a single CAS latency value for all modules in the&#xA;  channel, ensuring (using SPD data) that it is compatible with all&#xA;  modules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;h1&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In short, installing a DDR3 memory module of higher speed than&#xA;  specified is safe, even if it is installed side by side with slower&#xA;  modules. On the other hand, installing dissimilar modules may hamper&#xA;  or prevent some type of enhanced operation such as interleaving.&#xA;  However, that is unlikely to noticeably affect overall system&#xA;  performance (for example, interleaving is generally best avoided for&#xA;  most workstations).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note, however, that there are many other causes of incompatibility:&#xA;  form factor (DIMM versus SODIMM, low profile versus regular height),&#xA;  registered or fully-buffered memory (incompatible with most&#xA;  workstations), etc. So you still need to pay attention to what you’re&#xA;  buying.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;With sincere apologies if this turns out to be a load of ignorant&#xA;  hogwash!

In practice, we get many questions that are not particular to any OS, and questions about OSes other than Windows, with as much frequency as we get questions about Microsoft products. The topicality rules allow this, so our site casts a pretty wide net. ... Actually, it's not &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; that the topicality rules &lt;em&gt;allow&lt;/em&gt; questions about non-Windows OSes; it's that the topicality rules don't specifically pick out Microsoft products as being &amp;quot;special&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;extremely on-topic&amp;quot; moreso than any other OS or technology.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, if we're not celebrating Fedora releases or Ubuntu releases or Mac OS X releases or VMware Workstation releases or ffmpeg releases, why should we celebrate Windows releases? I think it sends the wrong message to the community and lends an undue amount of support to products of a particular company, and could potentially confuse users into thinking that we &lt;strong&gt;are&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;windows.stackexchange.com&lt;/code&gt;, and maybe think twice about asking a good non-Windows question here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Considering we've never had any contests for any product releases other than Windows, it seems oddly bias to favor a Microsoft OS release as a special event.

We have enough askers and answerers to get it done with no marketing or promotion necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Celebrating Super User's 6th anniversary would also be a very nice thing to do.

Moreover, I see questions with this tag being edited but the tag is not replaced by the editor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tag wiki excerpts alone are not very effective at altering the tagging behavior of users, and I doubt that anyone follows Meta Super User closely enough to know which tags have been deprecated. There's a pretty clear disconnect here between what's happening on the site and what's being prescribed on Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what to do? To keep these tags from propagating and to aid the cleanup process, there needs to be a better way to flag users that a deprecated flag is being used. There was &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/6851/76571&quot;&gt;a similar meta feature-request&lt;/a&gt; for applying a different color scheme to &quot;invalid&quot; tags. While the idea of &quot;invalid&quot; was at issue in the old rejected request, the color flag idea is well suited to this purpose. To be clear, this request is different; it would limit different coloration to tags with &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/status-planned&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;status-planned&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;status-planned&lt;/a&gt; tag-cleanup requests.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion is that the different coloration only appears when the question is being edited. That is, it only shows up on the edit page, not on the main page or the question page. This is a rough mock-up, but something like this would do:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/dhwms.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would hopefully draw the attention of the question writer or the editor and let them know that a deprecated tag has been used. There may need to be some verbal indication on the page as well to explain the appearance of the tag. Maybe the visual cue alone will lead to the editor mousing over the tag to see the warning in the tag wiki excerpt.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is this something we're interested in? Is it useful?

These tend to fall in two categories:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The original question was not worded well.  The edit clarifies what was intended and is consistent with the original wording potentially having meant that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;After getting some input, the OP decides he really should have asked a slightly different question.  Or, it was a multi-part question and having gotten the needed information for one part, the OP drops that part to refocus the question on the remainder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the first category, that's the breaks.  It's up to you whether you want to modify your answer or walk away.  If you walk away, your original answer should be dealt with appropriately.  If it isn't really an answer to the revised question, delete it.  Or if a lot of work went into it, ask a new question and use it for a self-answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would treat the second category like allquixotic's third case.  If the OP has changed the question in a way that isn't simply clarification of what was originally meant, and it renders existing answers irrelevant, that makes it a different question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People contribute questions to SU's knowledgebase in exchange for potentially getting an answer themselves.  Once a question has been asked and has received answers, it assumes a life of its own, and the OP doesn't have carte blanche to do whatever they want with it.  It defeats the site's purpose to allow the OP to replace the question with a different question.  The OP is free to ask as many variations or new questions as he wants, but as new questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My opinion is that in the latter situation, the question should be rolled back and the OP encouraged to ask the revised question as a new one.  This can be initiated in a comment, but if the OP isn't cooperative, it should be bumped up to a moderator for resolution.

The object isn't to find an answer that solves the problem.  The object is to find an answer that I CAN UNDERSTAND that solves the problem.  I understand my own limitations to this.  But that doesn't mean that I always ask perfect questions.  I'm still learning everything I need to include in order to help others users to help me.  Asking someone to include certain information is GREAT!  Telling someone that they didn't provide enough information without telling them what they need to do is NOT GREAT.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is hard enough trying to understand which StackExchange site to use for any particular question.

As members with various attitudes come and go, the general tone of the site changes. It's hard to get &lt;em&gt;people&lt;/em&gt; to change, but by adding or removing active members (whether by force, or they just go inactive), the nature of the site and the way it's perceived can also change.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I'm trying to say is that it is difficult to make generalizations about the site, especially without bounding those generalizations by a fairly tight time window (&quot;Has Super User been unfriendly to beginners over the past few weeks?&quot; is easier to generalize about than your original question.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another point to consider: In general, &quot;bad actors&quot; (those who are unnecessarily rude) are usually in the minority. So, instead of referring to the site as a whole, if we focus on the minority of users who are &quot;problematic&quot;, it might be easier to eliminate the problem by banning or warning the worst of the bunch (the most frequent/severe &quot;serial offenders&quot;, as it were).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How can we help beginners understand things?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As someone who's written long, explanatory answers treating an advanced topic for a beginner, I know how hard it is to write good answers for beginners. It's extremely hard. You have to basically fill in all the knowledge gaps and assumptions and industry knowledge that they lack, and &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; answer their question. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then after you've spent 2 hours writing an answer, it's entirely possible that someone else already beat you to the punch with an oversimplified answer that isn't as good, but gives them a &quot;cut and dried&quot; answer that they're looking for, so they may not even bother to read your long-winded answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions related to computing can often be very brief between two experts in the field who already have a large body of knowledge accumulated between them, but would require an enormous amount of explanation to &lt;em&gt;properly&lt;/em&gt; explain to a less experienced or knowledgeable person. This is just the nature of the beast.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fact that you are self-taught suggests (and this may or may not be true) that you are lacking many of the fundamentals that would be required in order for you to be able to answer your questions on your own, without needing to ask someone else. This might be why others perceive your questions as &quot;bad&quot; and are thus tempted to be snarky.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example. Assume that someone does not understand the concept of fire. They ask you, &quot;Is it possible to light a desk on fire?&quot; Patiently, you explain that, yes, desks are made of wood, and wood can catch on fire if it gets hot enough. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then the next day they ask you, &quot;Is it possible to light tires (tyres for you Brits) on fire?&quot; Again, you explain, with some irritation this time, that tires, when they get hot enough, can catch fire. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the third day, they ask you, &quot;Is it possible to light iron on fire?&quot; Finally, you just throw your hands up and say, &quot;If something gets hot enough, and it's inside an atmosphere with a reactant that can cause it to combust, ...&quot; and you start giving all the conditions under which something can be lit on fire. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you're done explaining your answer about when things can be lit on fire, the person asks you, &quot;What's an element?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're a chemist or physicist, by this point, you're just wanting to tell this person to go back to college and take a few physics or chemistry classes. You're tired of explaining to them how the world works. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is how many of us in the IT industry feel, because we have to, on a daily basis, deal with people who are (through no fault of their own) extremely ignorant of technology in general, and are nonetheless impelled or compelled to use computers to accomplish tasks in their life.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be honest, it can wear away at you after a while, having to explain the same things over and over. It requires a lot more energy and consideration to give a thoughtful answer that will fill in all the knowledge gaps of the person; and it requires a great deal of patience to handle the many follow-on questions that are likely to come from it (assuming, of course, that the person doesn't balk at the complexity of the situation and say, &quot;I give up!&quot; or say &quot;Thanks!&quot; and then not even read your answer).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you're speaking to another experienced person who &lt;em&gt;has&lt;/em&gt; the fundamentals, you can give a quick off-the-cuff answer, and they'll get your meaning, and there will be no further questions. It's much tidier and easier. They may even ask a question that you yourself do not entirely know the answer to, and thus &lt;strong&gt;challenge&lt;/strong&gt; you to go out and do some R&amp;amp;D and find the answer for them. These are the kinds of questions that technologists really &lt;em&gt;enjoy&lt;/em&gt; answering, because they &lt;em&gt;challenge&lt;/em&gt; us to learn more ourselves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most of the questions that I bother answering on Super User are questions that I found &lt;em&gt;interesting&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;challenging&lt;/em&gt;. I've tried to improve my behavior and demeanor over the years by simply passing over questions that I find too basic or too annoying to answer – though on a few occasions I've taken a shot at an &quot;epic&quot; answer and occasionally receive kudos for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only thing we can really do without banning people outright is try to convince those who are actively snarky/rude on a regular basis to please either (A) tone it down, or (B) simply ignore questions that you don't like; pretend they're not even there and move on with life. But then, how do you get that message out to the people who need to hear it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I feel like I've written a meta answer almost exactly like this one, to a meta question almost exactly like yours, not too long ago. I guess you're not alone in thinking this.

That's important information that shouldn't be left out, and it is especially relevant in the edit review queue. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T10:12:26.140" LastActivityDate="2015-07-26T06:06:48.657" Title="Display Hold/Closed status in Edit review queue" Tags="|feature-request|" AnswerCount="0" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Other times, it isn't clear.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Considerations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the comment was received in the LQP review queue, the answer is already on a path to the 20K queue, where users other than moderators can deal with it.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do moderator flags on those answers get treated as additional votes to send it to the 20K queue, or do they pull the answer into the moderator queue (losing the benefit of the 20K queue)?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the moderator queue, do multiple flags add value (for example, a higher priority, or an indication that it might be a fast disposition), or is it no different from a single flag?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It appears that mod-flagging answers that are already in the review system might provide no benefit and may even create additional work for the moderators.  &lt;strong&gt;Bottom line, should I mod-flag a commented answer that is probably already in the review-for-deletion process?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2015-07-31T09:37:34.710" LastActivityDate="2015-07-31T19:15:08.990" Title="Moderator Flag Etiquette?"

If we all just blindly follow the first flag or comment we see, then ONE person is making that descision not a community.   You too would want to appropriatly flag what is in dire need of flagging.  Or even un-flag (reopen).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are specific quantities of users hitting the same flag , before the  aggregate of these users flagging is then assumed by the machines to be the correct thing to do , and does it  I didnt cover the ammount. I forget some of the numbers.  We should not be saying &quot;1 more and it is gone&quot; or &quot;What did the last person decide&quot;  or &quot;Enough votes exist&quot; or &quot;It is done by others&quot;  We should not be rolling over to what someone else did, only making our own choice, then the community decided.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The MOD part I cannot cover, and I know what your saying, trying to avoid herassing the mods over stuff that is probably being taken care of already.

Judging when or if a correction would be made requires time and passing over the QorA later and again, a dedicated reviewer or reader would be going over and above the call of duty to do that, and they should get an extra award :-)  It is not very practical, and it is time consuming, but dang that may be the right thing to do.

Even a polite &quot;you did something wrong&quot; seems insulting. Frankly, I, and I suspect most new contributors, are not used to making mistakes. I think it would be easier for beginners if experts frequently remind themselves that this community is more strict and has more rules than most. Most discussion sites are free wheeling. Beginners don't know that at first. It will be an adjustment. The statement (I forget where) that says something like &quot;this is a question and answer site, not a discussion forum&quot; helps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, after being here a while, the rules are there for a reason--and that's to encourage a growing wealth of high quality answers to an incredibly vast array of technical questions. In that, the rules are GOOD and WORKING and creating something that is REALLY VALUABLE.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On that note, and this counts against me as a beginner, but the only way to create high quality answers is to cater to experts, not beginners. The site must encourage experts to answer questions and discourage beginners from discussion, speculation, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The key is, how to accomplish that goal while being friendly and inviting to beginners. Or better said, create a easy path for beginners to become experts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And now I think we have to clarify that there are two types of beginners.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;People who are new to StackExchange. They might be extreme experts in their field. These people should be downright courted, no?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;People who are new to a topic, like fixing problems on their computer (Super User), programming (StackOverflow), or system administration (ServerFault). We'd like it easy for these people to participate and learn and grow.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's 2 examples that frustrate me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was just looking today at &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/683660/cant-turn-on-microsoft-update-in-windows-7-x86&quot;&gt;Can&amp;#39;t turn on Microsoft update in Windows 7 x86&lt;/a&gt; on Super User. Now, first, this illustrates the value of Super User (and all StackExchange) because I searched hours on Microsoft.com answers and community sites and the quality is &lt;strong&gt;poor&lt;/strong&gt;. Many MVPs simply say &quot;read the FAQ on windows update&quot; which is completely irrelevant to the problem. The ANSWER was on Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the top upvoted comment is a more restrictive answer than the next one, and they probably should be reversed. I wanted to add (repeat) a comment to that effect, but I don't have enough reputation points.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, the situation with this particular problem is that Microsoft's own IE 11, must be run in 'compatibility mode' to properly render Microsoft's own web page. That's a result that's so unexpected (or is it ;) that it bears repeating. I wanted to repeat that comment, too. But I was not able to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was able to upvote the question and the answer so I was happy about that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another example: this thread. @allquixotic's answer states in part&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;You have to basically fill in all the knowledge gaps and assumptions and industry knowledge that they lack, and then answer their question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well another site I frequent, sevenforums.com, has a style where they answer the question with COPIOUS links to supporting information (example &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;How to Clean Reinstall Windows 7&lt;/a&gt;). This to me is an excellent compromise between long and short answers, as someone who needs NONE of the supporting content can just skip those links and someone who needs ALL of them can take hours to read and digest them all. StackExchange has the ability to use this style because we have so many canonical answers to so many questions. But maybe we're missing more tutorial-like answers to basic questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, I don't have 50 reputation points, so I can't comment :'(&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So this is frustrating for me as a beginner.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I personally don't have the drive to build my reputation. I don't want to go searching for questions I can answer. But when working on a problem I will contribute along the way. SE is hard for me to use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2 suggestions&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea that you ask a question, and that people question you and make suggestions and you &lt;em&gt;edit&lt;/em&gt; the question as time goes on--that was not obvious to me and I suspect will not be to most beginners. I suggest it should explain this style right when you go to ask a question. It should come right out and say &lt;strong&gt;&quot;Enter the &lt;em&gt;first version&lt;/em&gt; of your question. Through interaction with people on the site you will edit your question later to be more specific and precise as time goes on.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; That would have helped me. It was also helpful to me when experienced users specifically asked me to edit the question to add more info.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe a link/button on every page that says &lt;strong&gt;&quot;[sitename] is different from most other sites. How?&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; which is a link to not pages of rules, but a 1 page overview emphasizing those things that are the most frequent to trip up beginners. Something like the focus on answers not discussion, something about having to earn reputation points, and the best way to earn them, the bit about expecting to edit your own question, and links to the rest of the good intro stuff here. Anything else?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt; Well, I just saw this right on the front page of &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;stackexchange.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/eaeKx.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;stackexchange.com home page blurb&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So close, but it doesnt &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; say what's so different. &quot;Community&quot; sounds so much like &quot;forum&quot; I doubt a beginner would be triggered to think it's &quot;different&quot;.

Sometimes it is useful to a user to say &quot;have you thought about...&quot; in order to garner whether the problem lies elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Due to the way the site works we have to allow users some way to  talk to other users through comments. Usually those comments are useful and insightful but sometimes they appear to be idle chatter or unrelated comments, in those cases we have a tool called a &quot;flag&quot;. You can use flags to tell a moderator that something doesn't belong here and it should be deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you hover your mouse over a comment you will see a little flag button to the left of the comment, which you can use to tell us it should be deleted. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That would have been the best way to handle this, a quick shrug, a flag and then done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question here though suggests that the entire system is flawed simply because one person has a higher number than you do, and that they might have fancied a chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;reputation&quot; system is a measure of work, not respectability. Users have given their time to help other people with their problems and as a reward people say &quot;this helped me&quot; by upvoting it. Higher reputation users have invested a lot of of their own free time helping people for what amounts to nothing more than some fake internet points that say &quot;this guy is helpful&quot;.  Generally when someone comments or answers then they are trying, in some way, to still be helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The tone of your question here is belittling their efforts to help people they give to strangers &lt;em&gt;for free&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should detach any notion of &quot;this guy thinks he's better than me&quot; that is connected to reputation and just deal with people as you find them.

The actual topic you are asking about is &lt;em&gt;who&lt;/em&gt; originated an idea or &lt;em&gt;where&lt;/em&gt; did it come from. The fact that the idea itself is related to computers does not change the essence of the subject matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The specific idea you asked about seems fairly self-evident and obvious. Maybe it wasn't always obvious, but I think the concept surely predates computing. If you have a capacity in some resource for a certain amount of stuff, and the resource isn't completely utilized, whatever is left over is waste, to some degree, since it isn't able to perform its intended function. For instance, a school bus that isn't full is less efficient than a full school bus for the purpose of delivering school children to their school while spending as little money as possible in doing so. It has to carry around empty seats and the steel floor, etc. supporting them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is possible that your question &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be marginally acceptable if there were developed to have a practical bent to it. For example, if you explained &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; you need to know this, and it turns out to be relevant to some particular problem you're having, maybe we can help you with &lt;em&gt;the problem&lt;/em&gt; rather than going off on this tangent. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While Super User's purpose is to convey knowledge and solve actual problems (most/all questions on the site should follow one of these two patterns - solve a problem or convey knowledge about computing), &lt;em&gt;computing history&lt;/em&gt; is somewhat of a gray area, especially when you're &quot;just curious&quot; about it and are not actually going to do anything meaningful with the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Add to that the fact that your question seems fairly obvious, and I'm not sure anyone would even &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; where this originated from - it's such a common thing that you could likely trace its origins back to the ancient Romans, or even earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2015-08-07T16:11:26.337" CommentCount="15" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/election/2&quot;&gt;elected on July 24, 2012&lt;/a&gt;, and it's been a bit more than three years that I've been part of an awesome moderator team. Countless flags have been handled since then, and many discussions have been made here, on Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was—and still am—very enthusiastic to lead this community by example, providing guidance to new and old members alike, with the goal to make this site the number one resource for finding help to any kind of computer issue people may have. At the same time, being a moderator allowed me to learn how to &lt;em&gt;communicate&lt;/em&gt; online, how to encourage, to arbitrate, to guide.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, in the last months I've noticed that my personal circumstances changed. Not for worse—quite the contrary. I've moved places, started a new job, and I'm pursuing a PhD in computer science. But at the same time, these circumstances just do not allow me to invest the time I personally think is necessary for me to keep up to date with what's going on at Super User, our users—our &lt;em&gt;community&lt;/em&gt;—and Stack Exchange at large. This is why I've resigned. I just could not handle as many flags as I think were needed. I just could not follow what was going on. I felt like I lost touch with the community in general. Simply because there was too little time I could spend.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's important to mention that there has been absolutely no pressure whatsoever from my fellow moderators or the Stack Exchange community team. There has been no dispute that caused this. Some might think there are expectations for moderators to handle &lt;em&gt;X&lt;/em&gt; flags every month, destroy &lt;em&gt;Y&lt;/em&gt; spammers, and close &lt;em&gt;Z&lt;/em&gt; posts. Some might even have those expectations (although I've yet to find this person). You could argue that I stepped back because I could not fulfill those expectations. But it's not like that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a lot of respect for the work all of us volunteers do, and it's fine if moderators don't contribute as much as others, or as much as they used to at some point. This was a purely personal decision, because I think I cannot live up to &lt;em&gt;my own&lt;/em&gt; standards that I set over those past years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm leaving the mod team and giving the diamond back, but I will continue to be a regular user. I'll be happy to edit posts, answer questions, and occasionally track down spammers, if time allows to. I don't see myself ever leaving this community, for I've learned so much from it—and there's still much more to learn.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With this I want to thank every community member for their support, for their contributions, which make this site one of my absolute favorite places on the Internet.

From your next sentence, you may instead be suggesting that it hurts the professional image of SU (and/or SE) itself. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure that the presence of swearing itself tarnishes the whole site- the Q/A format is pretty clear; off-topic and incorrect information gets removed quickly; good answers in theory rise to the top. &lt;strong&gt;These are good, important ways to promote the site&lt;/strong&gt;; swearing doesn't diminish the image as much as lack of clarity / prevalence of off-topic etc content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, that does bring us back to the last part of your first sentence:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;...and offensive&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ah, this is a trickier one. Everyone is entitled to their views; and it's good that you don't permit your views to delete any post with profanity. If you (personally) don't want to see it - and I'm sure there are others who feel the same - perhaps there might be call for a userscript that filters it out. Doubtless there are browser extensions, but this feels like something &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackapps.com&quot;&gt;StackApps&lt;/a&gt; might be a good fit for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, if it is deliberately, provokingly offensive; go ahead and edit or flag!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Bottom line&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The short answer is: it depends on the context. If someone is directing abuse at someone- that's not okay and it should be removed. If someone curses a particularly egregious design flaw- let it be, it's just them expressing frustration at &lt;code&gt;n&lt;/code&gt; hours of their life being wasted as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Auto flagging? I'm going to stand on firmer ground here and say &lt;strong&gt;no way&lt;/strong&gt;, in my view, if for no other reason than false positives. But if you want further reasons- people deliberately circumventing the 'swear filter' (okay, swear autoflagger, but tradition forums have the same issue).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And another thing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm going to throw in that you don't need to swear, cuss or be profane to direct abuse or be offensive.

So that question, as asked, is already well answered.  What would a bounty accomplish?  Even if it produces more answers, they are likely to be similarly not helpful to you (&amp;quot;insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome&amp;quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Applicability of bounties&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bounties are a tool that is available for people to use voluntarily to attract answers.  It is not intended for shaking down questioners (Sorry, that's already been asked.  If you don't like the answers and want to try to get more, pay a bounty).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When good answers aren't helpful&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the answers to the older question are decent but don't answer your question, it means there is something about your question that is different from the older question.  Asking a new question doesn't mean re-asking a question that will also appear to be a duplicate.  It means asking the question in a way that clearly differentiates it from the older one.  The blurb should probably be revised to include a suggestion to re-ask the question in a way that clarifies the difference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When the older question has poor answers (even if upvoted or accepted)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've seen a lot of proposed duplicates with a promisingly similar title, even a well asked question, and answers that meet the minimum requirements that allow it to be used for this purpose.  However, the answers aren't really useful and it isn't clear why they were upvoted or accepted.  These shouldn't be proposed as possible duplicates.  When they are, and the uselessness is identified, they should be withdrawn.  The first priority is getting questions answered.  That shouldn't take a back seat to housekeeping the duplicates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When the older question is identical but lacks a useful solution&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The example you cite is one of these.  The OP verifies that the question is the same, but it doesn't offer a solution.  Why would a duplicate question attract answers the original wouldn't?  The answer to that is it doesn't matter.  Consider three time frames:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The older question is more than, say, a year old&lt;/strong&gt;, especially if there have been changes in the interim, like new software versions.  There is a benefit to getting information updated.  Asking the question anew will pull current information from fresh eyes.  The result could be a conclusion that the older answers are still good.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After the newer question has had time to run it's course (say a week), it can be re-evaluated.  That's when knowledgeable decisions can be made on whether the question should remain on its own, be closed as a duplicate or merged, or even become the new standard due to better answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The older question is more than several weeks old.&lt;/strong&gt;  In this case, its active response period is passed.  The question isn't going to attract more answers without some kind of action.  If the older question can be improved and bumped, that's preferable to another identical question.  But if there really isn't something to improve, and the question hasn't been fully answered, the new questioner deserves their moment in the sun.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question should be allowed to run its course, after which, action can be re-evaluated.  If it has attracted no upvoted or accepted answers, the system will delete it after it's closed.  If it does attract answers, they're answers we wouldn't have otherwise had.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The older question is also new.&lt;/strong&gt;  This is a special case of a special case, and I'd probably make an exception for this, especially if the older question is less than about three days old.  If the older question is identical and still in the active response period, I would point this out to the new poster and suggest that they delete their question, at least temporarily.  If no useful solution appears, they can undelete their question and edit it to clarify things relative to the older question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if they wanted to keep their question open, I would let them.  A new user has certain benefits on their own thread, like the ability to ask for clarifications in comments, which they lack on someone else's question.  After the question has run its course, we can do housekeeping on duplicates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Duplicates are redundant clutter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, they are.  People looking for answers have a few extra posts to look at.  But when they're trying to find a solution to their problem, they don't complain about redundant information.

You &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; include disclaimers about uncertainty in an answer, but your answer does not address whether you tried it on Windows 10, and how sure you are of it working or not working on Windows 10.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, I believe the &lt;em&gt;upvoted&lt;/em&gt; answer (the one that presently has a score of 1 and basically says &quot;You &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; turn off automatic updates) is the more correct answer, especially as it applies to Windows 10 Home. However, you or someone else would need to actually &lt;em&gt;try&lt;/em&gt; your answer to see if it works before claiming it as an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, when you have problems understanding the reasoning of other users, it's better to &lt;strong&gt;ask them directly&lt;/strong&gt; (in comments), rather than making a meta post about it. Especially since, in this case, you didn't even attempt to clarify his position with him. We can offer a guess as to his intentions, but not even a moderator can tell you who downvoted the post, and the best person for explaining the meaning of a comment is the original person who wrote it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To wrap up: I feel that the current score of -1 of your answer is justified, even though I myself did not drop that downvote. I'm not going to downvote it any further, though. It's just a poorly researched answer that doesn't answer the actual question about &lt;em&gt;Windows 10&lt;/em&gt; but rather relies on an old version's behavior and apparently just assumes it'll be the same on Windows 10 (which, as it turns out, it's really not the same).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="144607" LastEditDate="2015-08-27T18:31:35.517" LastActivityDate="2015-08-27T18:31:35.517" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm very exited about this community and if I hurt your feelings I'm very very sorry. I have no problem downvoting if I think it's deserved and you shouldn't take a downvote as personal attack. I'll tell you why:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I vote down when I really think the answer does not provide a candidate answer. I do not vote down a post for technical inaccuracies or errors. In other words, I do not vote down if you answer a question about how to care an apple, even if the method is wrong, but I'll vote down if you answer about grapes when the user is asking about apples. However, if you edit your post and provide an answer about apples, if I like I will upvote. So I have the choice to stay downvoting neutral or upvoting. I'm not a troll of users or points trying to downvote a question, only seeking to damage another user's reputation, because that's really **** (you can guess what I wrote).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As another example, I've contributed some answers where I was really wrong and ended up deleting them despite their having upvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I suggest you to do not consider a downvote a personal attack because it isn't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do not think I or someone else is trying to attack your reputation. Some guys here have 100s of points and they are very very skilled with imba acknowledgements but maybe they are not focused on points, so do not take the reputation as a skill-meter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Greetings and peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440138" LastEditorUserId="213131" LastEditDate="2015-08-28T02:51:23.463" LastActivityDate="2015-08-28T02:51:23.463" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

All spam answers follow the same routine: a bare link which often, but not always relates to the question. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First off, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/965159/4377&quot;&gt;question itself&lt;/a&gt; was pretty bad fit for Super User and was on the lines of &quot;why isn't this there?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;if you want a model answer that would not have been spam flagged, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/965176/4377&quot;&gt;look at the other answer&lt;/a&gt;. It is not immediately obvious you're not affiliated to the software(evident by the fact that it was spam flagged) and we've had people mention clearly they are not affiliated to the software they are recommending. That goes a long way, especially if you're new to a community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What was so exceptional about my answer that a moderator had to intervene and delete it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Um, the fact that it was spam flagged and come upon the &lt;strong&gt;Moderator's queue&lt;/strong&gt; of flagged posts? I'm not here looking at every post to see which post has to be [spam] flagged, I leave that to the Community. The fact that it was flagged and brought to my notice is what made me intervene. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Again, I'm not the author or proprietor and I don't get any benefits from the link.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn't obvious from your answer. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The OP asks to recommend a software, so the answers essentially have to provide links. How exactly is my answer unsolicited?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You read the software recommendation guide and haven't updated it per the guidelines mentioned there, sorry to say this is bound to happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To your questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Already addressed above. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You weren't explicit enough in disclosing that you aren't the author.

It may be rare, but it's there. Hence, with a corrected NIV, Philippians 3:8 reads:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them shit, that I may gain Christ.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Malachi 2:3 gives a scathing indictment of religion that loves ceremonies but doesn't give a fuck about the poor and needy:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;And I will spread shit on your faces, the shit of your solemn feasts, and I will drive you out of my presence...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Something is really lost in these passages when strong language is replaced by &quot;garbage.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some details are hit or miss in translation. For instance, in the contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal, Elijah is mocking the prophets of Baal for Baal's complete failure to answer hours of their frenzied prayer: &quot;At noon Elijah began to taunt them. “Shout louder!” he said. “Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.”&quot; (3 Kingdoms 18:27). The exact nature of one of the four suggestions is unclearly translated, Elijah is insinuating that Baal is not answering the prayers of his prophets because he &quot;can't come to the phone now,&quot; and apparently has been tied up and unable to answer the phone for hours.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The English Bible censors things out; scholars producing the first NIV got slapped way down when scholars translated the Song of Songs as clearly as they did the rest of the (Protestant) Bible. The text compares some part of the man's body to two hundred feet of wood.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now there's a lot more to the Bible than that, but I would give the following advice:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avoid foul language almost all the time, but treat &quot;don't use foul language&quot; as a rule of thumb and not an absolute or an imperative.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="44746" LastActivityDate="2015-09-02T13:59:14.540" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And that reason is not me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the questions you are posting are getting low to no responses/traffic is because when others are trying to help you clarify, cleanup and better contextualize your question you take any change/comment so personally that (1) people attempting to help you give up in frustration and (2) anyone stumbling across your question is just baffled by what you are asking and why.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Longer answer:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What steps can be taken when a user gives endless, long-winded, and&#xA;  bellicose comments expressing opinionated answers almost every time&#xA;  you post a question?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I will state that I believe CodeMed is referring to handful of interactions I have had with them over the past few days. This claim of “…almost every time you post a question?” is nonsense. CodeMed has about 28 questions posted and I have interacted with CodeMed on perhaps 2-3 questions mainly in the forms of edits and comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Specifically I believe the interaction that CodeMed is referring to stems from &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/966944/how-do-i-select-bridged-network-adapter-in-virtualbox/&quot;&gt;this question and answer thread&lt;/a&gt;. So that claim of &lt;strong&gt;“…expressing opinionated answers almost every time you post a question?”&lt;/strong&gt; is utter nonsense. I would like a moderator to review my interactions with CodeMed and confirm this if possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a simple case of demanding help, not providing details, complaining when edits are made to provide details, complaining when anyone questions their self-answered “discoveries” and in general not providing interactions that actually create quality content that retains an audience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The comments on the original question boil down to this: I clearly stated that if the user wants a clear answer to their question, they should &lt;em&gt;provide a fuller picture as to what they are attempting to achieve in their exercise&lt;/em&gt;. If you &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/posts/966944/revisions&quot;&gt;check the revisions&lt;/a&gt;—specifically &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/966944/3&quot;&gt;this third one&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/966944/4&quot;&gt;this fourth one&lt;/a&gt;—I made to this user’s initial question, I edited the question to fully clarify what they are attempting to do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To be non-meta:&lt;/strong&gt; What irked me—and still irks me—is how while this user is definitely doing the correct thing by posting a new question for each item they are trying to tackle, they are not providing clear context of the overall goal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, the user insists on using a direct Ethernet-to-Ethernet direct connection to link up two machines so a VirtualBox guest OS can then talk to a physical machine connected via this Ethernet-to-Ethernet direct connection. I personally believe that this kind of setup causes more headaches than needed. Especially from a user who claims—and I definitely quote—that they don’t know anything about networking. Instead I recommend they purchase a $50 (at most) wired router to connect the machines to make their life easier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Back to meta:&lt;/strong&gt; So when I saw &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/966944/how-do-i-select-bridged-network-adapter-in-virtualbox/&quot;&gt;this question and answer thread&lt;/a&gt; I just believed the lack of the details on the Ethernet-to-Ethernet direct connection would only make this thread harder to understand and lead to more and more endless questions that do not provide any help to anyone but CodeMed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which is &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; to say, that in this particular thread on networking, I strongly believe that CodeMed is using SuperUser less as a site where all can benefit from a well formatted and clear question and more just using this site as an endless help ticketing site for their own “help desk” needs which I believe flies in the claim made in this meta post, &lt;strong&gt;“When one user pollutes postings with verbose, opinionated comments, they deter other users from giving valid answers from alternative viewpoints.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nope. I am not engaging in behavior that I believe discourages discourse. Rather I am attempting to help other users who might stumble into another user’s non-complete picture post get a better idea of what the fuller picture is. In this case, yes… At face value someone asking to get a larger network connection to another host might require a “Bridged network” but the lack of the critical detail on the Ethernet-to-Ethernet connection results in good hearted answerers being lead down an endless rabbit hole of follow up questions that one cannot escape from.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case CodeMed posted a supposed &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/967061/167207&quot;&gt;“answer”&lt;/a&gt; that the “solution” was to upgrade VirtualBox 4.2 to 5.0. As my &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/966944/how-do-i-select-bridged-network-adapter-in-virtualbox#comment1324400_967061&quot;&gt;first comment states&lt;/a&gt;, I do not believe this actually “solved” the issue in the way the user claims it “solved” the issue because, as I stated:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This is not really an answer because if the network connection on the&#xA;  host OS machine was properly recognized, that “Name:” pulldown under&#xA;  “Bridged Adapter” would have options already in place. Perhaps&#xA;  VirtualBox 5.0 has nicer accommodations for direct&#xA;  Ethernet-to-Ethernet connections but I am using VirtualBox 4.3.30 and&#xA;  have all options available when selecting “Bridged Adapter” without&#xA;  thinking twice and this has been the case—at least with me—since at&#xA;  least VirtualBox 3.0. Meaning what you believe “solved” this issue&#xA;  could just be a big coincidence and nothing more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And I still stand by that comment. If CodeMed believes stating a practical reality that their “solution” was not a solution, I have not much else to add. As it stands I believe that the thread I am specifically referring to actually helps 100% of nobody because:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The issues CodeMed presents are often not major issues other users would find useful, but rather—as stated before—questions that use SuperUser as an endless personal help ticketing site with no full context and with questions that ultimately only benefit CodeMed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The user’s refusal to explicitly state context of the Ethernet-to-Ethernet network further degrades the value of the question. I genuinely believe that there might be some other users out there who are attempting a simple  Ethernet-to-Ethernet network that has VirtualBox in the mix who will not be able to to refer to this question now.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I will admit, sometimes I come off as a bit harsh in discussions. But at the end of the day, this meta thread that claims “bullying” is ridiculous. I might have misstated that I have followed CodeMed’s questions, but let me clarify: I have no need to follow CodeMed’s posting activity explicitly… All I have to do is wait a day or so until another non-contextual question that does not reference past questions is posted and I jump in to copy edit to clarify it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Should I perhaps stop copy editing and cleaning up CodeMed’s question? Maybe. But can someone please review the edits I have made and point out explicitly how my edits count as “bullying” and “non-improvement” of the question to benefit CodeMed, other users and even anyone who is Googling on the topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really do not have time for this. CodeMed if you believe I am personally “bullying” you in my edits and comments, my apologies. But past that I believe your claim that my edits and comments “discourage” others is utter nonsense. There was &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/966944/how-do-i-select-bridged-network-adapter-in-virtualbox#comment1324185_966944&quot;&gt;another user who commented on the question mentioned here&lt;/a&gt; and I commented to them at one point (now deleted) that they should look at your question answering history before proceeding to assist any further. And I stand by that statement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Believe it or not we are here to help you. Me included. But if you are on the one hand going to claim you have 100% no knowledge of a topic but then the next claim you know answers that others disagree with for very valid reasons, I have no idea what to say and cannot imagine how &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; can help you in your efforts to fix issues you face.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, this site is a community. And this screed is me being a tad pissed off.

When you see:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This seems to be the new behavior of the image upload/insertion tool and it makes sense. Here is the breakdown of why:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Previously, an uploaded image would simply be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;![enter image description here][3]&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And while you were able to see that image, you could not click on it. Might seem like a small issue, but some users upload images that are quite large and hard to read at small sizes. By being able to click on an image, one is able to effectively “zoom” in on the content by downloading the full image read it better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So since the image upload mechanism basically relies on a URL connected to Imgur, by wrapping that image in the URL reference (&lt;code&gt;[][3]&lt;/code&gt;) like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The image becomes clickable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not too sure when this specific feature was rolled out—&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/242220/full-resolution-option-for-embedded-pictures&quot;&gt;this Meta Stack Exchange thread&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/242220/full-resolution-option-for-embedded-pictures#comment849896_242220&quot;&gt;this comment&lt;/a&gt; refers to the change but no clear date of roll-out—but as your screenshot shows old images that predate this change are still in the system. I don’t believe Stack Exchange does a database sweep to cleanup things like this because it could be a messy proposition; while some images would benefit from this click-to-zoom/download others gain no benefit and might go against the original poster’s intent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So nothing is malformed.

If there is a legal issue, it is whether Apple's EULA is enforceable in a way that would allow Apple to collect damages.  If Apple won a court ruling affirming its claims, or another party won a ruling that told Apple to go suck wind, that would provide a basis for discussing site policy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Short of a court ruling, there is simply the EULA.  Apple can specify any terms they want; it's their product.  You don't own it, you only pay to use it within Apple's terms.  If you don't like the terms, buy something else.  If you agree to Apple's terms, your voluntary agreement is what binds you to them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Implications for the site&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's put aside the business issues, like do we want to expose SE to potential heavy-handed action by Apple; e.g., using deep pockets to win a judgement against SE regardless of merit.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most questions of scope differentiate technical factors to define what is within SU's bailiwick.  Devices other than computers and their peripherals are off-topic.  Software recommendations go to another site.  The community is expert on those kinds of issues and it's appropriate to decide scope by consensus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What makes Hackintosh special is the legal and ethical issues people associate with it.  I suggest that those kinds of issues would be more appropriately driven by core, guiding principles.  If we decide, as a matter of policy, to make Hackintosh questions officially off-topic, it should be based on core principles rather than the winds of consensus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggestion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me suggest that a guiding principle would be a version of the Hippocratic Oath, &quot;First do no harm.&quot;  We don't make IT administrators' lives miserable by advising people on how to circumvent their policies.  We don't use this open forum to instruct people on how to create malware.  We don't help people circumvent the terms of service with their Internet provider.  If they want the ISP's service, they agree to abide by their terms.  How is that really different?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the same logic applies to EULAs.  Two other parties have agreed to terms and it's inappropriate for us to inject ourselves into the relationship and facilitate one of those parties violating their agreement.  To Gilles' comment, below,  to not facilitate violating the EULA is not putting us in a role of &quot;enforcing&quot; the EULA.  It's remaining uninvolved. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2015-09-08T11:22:28.350" LastActivityDate="2015-09-08T11:22:28.350" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I can be classed as an intermediate/power user in several fields of computing but never a specialist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that's not a bad thing, I personally like to think that SU is more for the keen system generalist.

One is about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/841589/accessing-modem-settings-via-router-on-a-lan&quot;&gt;connecting to a modem via a router&lt;/a&gt; and the other is about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/841586/connecting-to-localhost8080-on-my-laptop-from-android&quot;&gt;connecting to a laptop’s &lt;code&gt;localhost:8080&lt;/code&gt; via a router&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The worst error both questions suffered from were formatting quirks and typos in IP addresses like &lt;code&gt;192.168.1&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;192.168.1.1&lt;/code&gt;. And perhaps those IP address lists looked the same which caused inadvertent flagging of “dupe.” But that’s it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can someone with more power than me please review these two questions?

First the password protection&#xA;  question is valid and I believe would work here on it’s own or perhaps&#xA;  on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://webapps.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Web Applications Stack Exchange&lt;/a&gt; site. But past that the&#xA;  rest of the question regarding an alternative piece of software is&#xA;  really not appropriate for this site. It’s too broad and opinion&#xA;  based.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My comment is two parts as the original poster’s question is two parts. I believe the password protection aspect that kicks off the question is perfectly valid with the only very slight caveat that being that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://webapps.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Web Applications Stack Exchange&lt;/a&gt; site might be a better fit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The rest of the question is definitely just asking for software recommendations. And heck, the title of the question itself is off-topic if not unclear: &lt;strong&gt;“Dropbox or similar program”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is this kind of question ends up being a mess of opinions, recommendations and delusions. No disrespect &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/971310/167207&quot;&gt;to your answer nKn&lt;/a&gt;, but to me it takes all of 5 seconds of reading a question like that to make a strong assumption that the original poster needs an “off the shelf” and “ready to roll” package and cannot even begin to understand what needs to be done to implement a tool like &lt;a href=&quot;https://owncloud.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ownCloud&lt;/a&gt;.

I'll describe a quick overview of the process.  There are a number of paths to closure that start from different sources.  I'll focus on just the paths that involve review queues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Questions&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Users with 3K+ rep&lt;/strong&gt; can initiate action by voting to close.  This puts the question into the Close Votes queue, where other 3K+ users can also vote to close.  Closure can't be done for just any arbitrary reason.  The post has to deviate from site requirements and the reason for closure must be specified.  So voting to close includes selecting (or writing), a reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Users with less than 3K rep&lt;/strong&gt; can flag a question for moderator attention (some of which is delegated).  My understanding is that the &quot;Should be closed...&quot; sub-menu and &quot;Duplicate&quot; reasons get routed to the Close Votes queue (consistent with &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/7339/364367&quot;&gt;this post by slhck&lt;/a&gt;, which you linked to).  Flagging requires selecting or writing the reason (a custom reason remains in the moderator's queue).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Low Quality Post (LQP) queue&lt;/strong&gt; gets populated by bots.  Those questions (and answers), are identified by the system as potentially low quality and then get reviewed by humans for appropriate disposition.  The cited post by slhck mentions the LQP queue also containing posts flagged by humans as Very Low Quality (VLQ) or Not an Answer (NAA).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Users with 3K+ rep see the LQP questions in the same context as in the Close Votes queue and can directly vote for closure.  Reviewers with less than 3K rep vote to &quot;recommend&quot; closure (or Looks OK).  That voting separates the wheat from the chaff and &quot;enriches&quot; the queue (the bot and new users often don't get it right).  Recommending closure similarly requires specifying the reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These paths aren't mutually exclusive.  A question will sometimes be in several queues because a human and a bot independently identified it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you come across a question on the main page, there is really no way to know whether it has been &lt;strong&gt;flagged&lt;/strong&gt; for moderator attention.  You might be able to guess whether it is in one of the review queues from the comments; the review queue reasons have canned comments that are easy to recognize.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But even there, some people come across a marginal question or answer on the main page and want to give the poster a chance to improve it.  So, they add a canned comment but don't flag or vote on the post immediately.  If the post is utterly worthless and has a canned comment, it's a good bet that it is already in a review queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So to your question of &lt;strong&gt;what to do&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you come across the question in the &lt;strong&gt;LQP review queue&lt;/strong&gt;, it's already on a path to be handled.  Just vote.  No additional benefit will come from also flagging it for moderator attention, perhaps with one exception: if there is something about the post that you think warrants immediate action rather than letting it run its course (such as the content could lead to serious consequences).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you come across the post on the &lt;strong&gt;main page or First Posts review queue&lt;/strong&gt; (or a search), flag it.  If it is already in a queue, the flag count will help to prioritize it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deletion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of the above applies to questions and takes it as far as closure.  Closure leaves the thread on the site but prevents posting new answers to it.  After closure, there is a complicated set of rules dealing with deletion, which removes the thread from the site (actually just hides it).  Depending on the question's votes and answers, users as low as 10K can vote to delete some closed questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Deletion is voted on in a secondary queue in the moderation tools tab that is visible to 10K+ users.  For questions, deletion is a new process, separate from closure, that happens outside of the flagging and standard review queues described above.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Answers are a little different; they don't get closed, only deleted, and only 20K+ users can vote to delete answers.  Deletion voting is done in the deletion queue described earlier.  But unlike questions, answers in that queue are fed by the process described above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The 20K+ users can vote to delete directly at the post rather than flagging, which also puts it into the deletion review queue.  Flagging by &amp;lt;20K users (NAA and VLQ answers), feeds both the standard review queues and the deletion review queue.  While flagged answers await voting in the deletion queue, voting in the standard review queues by &amp;lt;20K users culls that pool of answers.  My understanding is that answers in the LQP queue flagged by bots get reviewed there, and only those recommended for deletion are fed to the deletion queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in terms of &lt;strong&gt;when to flag&lt;/strong&gt;, it is similar to questions.

This is an &lt;strong&gt;unnatural choice of anchor text&lt;/strong&gt; made primarily for SEO, by associating the word &amp;quot;Firewall&amp;quot; (a common search query) with the linked software.

If you want to have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;wedding&lt;/a&gt;, you will have to pick the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;best ring&lt;/a&gt;. You will also need to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;buy flowers&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;wedding dress&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[...]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Forum comments with optimized links in the post or signature, for example:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;Thanks, that’s great info!&lt;br&gt;&#xA;- Paul&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;paul’s pizza&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;san diego pizza&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.example.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;best pizza san diego&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The text is designed to make certain classes of products appear bad: &amp;quot;Some Firewall software may affect the speed of the internet&amp;quot;.

And you can down-vote an open question and accepted answer as well. Votes are opinions and nothing more. Closed questions don’t get more or less down-votes from what I see.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other side of this equation is the logic that somehow an open and well regarded question/answer thread should only accept up-votes and block down-votes because, heck, people like the question right?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FWIW, most people who attempt to clarify a question after it being closed really do a horrible job and engage in the practice of “shouting louder” and repeating the same wrong note over again instead of rejiggering their question to be truly useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;And, if there’s no specific reason, why keep it the way it is, as it&#xA;  may put off people with legitimate questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Kind of tired of the “Stack Exchange should stop doing this because it may scare people away…” mindset. Because if you spend one day here you can see that nothing scares people off from asking questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good questions, bad questions, any kind of questions… People will ask them if they want. If someone has a question and they want it answered, they will post it here regardless of the way the reputation point system works. Heck, people already—without seeing down-voted closed questions—have this idea that Stack Exchange sites are a “tough crowd” as far as engaging the larger community goes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then past any of that, some people don’t care. If you had a drinking game based on how many people post a comment as an answer and preface it with “I don’t have enough rep so I am posting this as an answer…” you’d be hospitalized within an hour.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reality is reputation points are the core of earning privileges on this site, but all those privileges do is give you more moderation/interaction control.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And in the case of closed questions that are down-voted, any user who is discouraged by that kind of behavior has little perspective on why their question might have been down-voted. If anything I have tons of serial “bad question askers” get down-voted and I don’t feel sorry for them in the least bit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Asking tons of nonsense questions that are off-topic or inappropriate for the site helps nobody. They get upset and go away? Fine. Then the site is cleaner with better and more focused questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which is all to say that if the goal of the Stack Exchange sites is to create quality content to attract quality content, I’m not going to lose sleep over some random bad question asker being discouraged and leaving the site. Let them leave.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They will be replaced by a dozen more bad question askers in the hours that follow. And if one of those horrible question askers actually understands the concept of constructive criticism and comes back in better shape to be a better community member later on?

But really, there are two major possibilities here (allowing for slight variations of each):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The asker is no longer active on the site.&lt;/strong&gt; In this case, whether or not the question received an answer that solved the problem, the asker isn't penalized whether the question ends up closed or left open &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt;, because they are no longer around.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The asker is still active on the site.&lt;/strong&gt; In this case, they are likely familiar with our current standards. They can always bring the closure up in chat, on meta, or flag their question for moderator attention to request that it is reopened if they feel it was closed in error, or fix whatever caused the question to be closed (if it is fixable without invalidating existing answers) and have it reviewed and possibly reopened through the normal reopen review queue.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, leaving the question open:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indicates to people new to the community&lt;/strong&gt; that this is a type of question that we accept, inviting further similar questions.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allows posting of answers&lt;/strong&gt; that can be anything from actually useful (I find this to be the less common case) to borderline inappropriate to downright spam.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To me,&lt;/strong&gt; certainly the fact that off-topic questions being left open indicates to newcomers that the type of question is allowed &lt;em&gt;outweighs&lt;/em&gt; the relatively minor issue of an active user having an old question of theirs closed because it no longer meets current standards. &lt;em&gt;Hence&lt;/em&gt; I vote to close with an appropriate reason when I see them.

MSU would have been the right place to ask this since &lt;em&gt;I found this by accident&lt;/em&gt; (Question has since been moved to SU) and you wouldn't have gotten a response from the folks who'd be best suited to answer you. We're fine with you asking something like this on MSU, since we'd get notified and we'd be able to answer you more quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lets start with the question ban. While its automatic, and the exact rules for getting unbanned are not known to us, we can apply some basic numbers and common sense to it. &lt;em&gt;This ban was not put in place, nor can it be removed by moderators&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You have 13 closed questions of 40 questions in total, including one where a question was closed and you asked the exact same question again (This is not productive. Improve closed questions, and it goes back in the reopen queue. Do a good enough job, and they do get reopened).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ok, slightly over a quarter of your questions. That's pretty bad but I've seen worse. A bunch of the existing questions are zero score, which might have contributed to it. Many of these were auto-deleted due to lack of answers (not out fault, its how the system works).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's what we &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; do however - some of your questions are roombaed. I'll review out those that were deleted and not user closed (so there's nothing wrong with them except a &lt;em&gt;lack of love&lt;/em&gt;),and I'll take a look at them, and try to reopen those that meet quality standards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I won't do this all at once (no point flooding the front page, and its a fair but of work) and I &lt;em&gt;cannot&lt;/em&gt; promise this will lift the ban, or that the questions will not get reclosed in time if they are dead again. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On your part, you may want to edit those that you think can be improved. I believe you can always view your own deleted questions. Let me know if you need a link to these. Focus on ones with &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; closevotes and are deleted, or can be logically salvaged, not the ones that got hit by 5 off topic closevotes and such.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If any are marginal, we'll need to talk about fixing them and how, and letting me know if the ban is lifted would be awesome. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: And since I had a bit of time, here's the deleted questions on your list and some comments about them.

So the referenced answer is no longer a good example of the issue described here.  However, this question describes a situation others might encounter, and it received answers that provide guidance, so I'll leave the question in place.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm looking for input on whether a certain type of post is appropriate, and if not, whether the site has any other provision for conveying this kind of information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A user posted two similar questions about trying to interpolate a series of numbers:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/984959/excel-2013-single-table-interpolation&quot;&gt;Excel 2013 Single Table Interpolation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/985163/excel-inverting-tables&quot;&gt;Interpolate a collection of values to expand the number of points in the pattern in Excel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In both cases, the author didn't understand a fundamental concept about interpolation and was asking for help interpolating a single list of values.  The second question received an answer that cleverly finessed the missing data, but didn't go into an explanation of what the OP didn't understand.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the OP had an answer to the question, but not the knowledge to understand the hole in his thinking or to apply the solution to the next similar problem.  And anyone else with a similar question and misunderstanding who arrives at that question will be in the same boat.  I wanted to explain that piece of the puzzle, but the only type of post that can handle images and a lengthy explanation is an answer.  I posted this: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/985357/364367&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/a/985357/364367&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;em&gt;(Note: the answer has since been expanded; for context, see an earlier version in the edit chain)&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Technically, it &lt;strike&gt;doesn't&lt;/strike&gt; didn't answer what was asked in the question, so it probably &lt;strike&gt;doesn't&lt;/strike&gt; didn't qualify as an answer.  I could add an actual answer to it, but it would just duplicate the existing answer.  I thought about posting a new question and using that to self-answer, but it is really information in response to the OP's question, and just a link to another question is likely to be lost in the noise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my question: is &lt;strike&gt;this type of&lt;/strike&gt; an explanatory &quot;non-answer&quot; acceptable as an answer post?  If not, do we have any other mechanism for this kind of thing?

Right? So how can I ask better&#xA;  questions &amp;amp; give better answers?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You’re saying two things here that show you are a bit disconnected from the way Stack Exchange sites work. First you say you are noticing questions with 30+ votes and then you state you want to make sure you don’t “…rub people the wrong way.” This all points to two problems, and none of them from us:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You are looking at the reputation points as some grand reward and perhaps even an entitlement.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You are perceiving the reason for this lack of reputation points on your account as stemming from you “rubbing people the wrong way.”&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are not issues with any of us, but issues with you and your ideas of what this site is, what your participation in this site entails and what perceived “rewards” are connected to such participation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the simplest explanation about everything on the Stack Exchange sites: Content is the main focus; users are not. If you post content that other users appreciate, you get rewarded with reputation points. But the main purpose of reputation points is to help moderate and clean the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure, I personally have 16,000+ reputation points and I am somewhat proud of that. But this is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a competition. You should not be thinking I am “better” than you and you should not believe that you cannot speak out against a higher rep user if you have a legitimate complaint.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, you have a misunderstanding at best, but ultimately you have 100% no complaint. You need to stop taking things personally especially when—in all honesty—you seem like a fine user already whose adding positive things to the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Please resist the temptation to down vote and trash this question.&#xA;  Help me to help you. Cheers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, you are taking all of this way to personally. I will state that looking at your questions/answers on the main site compared to here, your activity on the main site is fine with no down votes. But on this question on the meta site you are getting down votes because honestly… What are you complaining about?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You’ve only been a member for two months. Hang around more and maybe you will post a question or answer that catches on fire or perhaps results in someone rewarding you with extra reputation points. But just chill out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, up/down voting in meta is fairly meaningless and doesn’t impact your main user account. And ultimately the act of up/down voting is just a personal opinion so best leave it at that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="167207" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:49.537" LastActivityDate="2015-10-23T12:25:10.853" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It ensures that the “unanswered question” queue is not filled with items that have answers but are simply not closed. And it ensures any future visitors to the question/answer thread can clearly see which solution worked for the user. Without that, this site just becomes another forum site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And another aspect of this issue is quality. A lot of “late answers” come from users who see a question does not have an official answer and then hastily post something to earn reputation points. Most of the time these late answers are useless, redundant or a combination of both. As someone who patrols the “late” queue, I spend more time filtering through supposedly “unanswered” questions that clearly have answers than dealing with anything else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="167207" LastActivityDate="2015-10-23T12:01:01.327" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Is it because Windows 7 has been inherently more&#xA;  customizable? Is it because there's the issue of &quot;what to fit on 1 CD&quot;&#xA;  with Windows 7 not fitting on 1 CD anyway? Other issues?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And the new version&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why - to your knowledge, not speculation - have similar modified&#xA;  versions of Windows 7 and Window 8 or 8.1 not been released, at least&#xA;  not regularly? Have the people/groups maintaining Windows XP &quot;black&#xA;  edition&quot; issued statements about this choice?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They might have been. They might not. It might be due to better or worse copy protection. It could be due to economics, with people in previously poor countries able to better afford copies of windows. Hardware could have changed more slowly. Too broad? Potentially&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Essentially none of these elements are something that the end user directly has to deal with. So… off topic (plain and simple). Oh and asking “have people/groups maintaining Windows XP black editions issued statements about this choice?” Learning material recommendation maybe. I didn't even think about that yet until writing this answer. And in any case, that’s not something an end user deals with directly, its almost like asking “Why didn’t Microsoft release Windows 9?” or “Why isn't there an ultimate edition in Windows 10?” &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, at &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; point, outside of &quot;this is off topic&quot; plain and simple, I guess this could be too broad, deals with the mental processes of &quot;Freelance software repackaging groups&quot; (since of course, we've not come to to talking about piracy), as well as the popularity of this group. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe there’s an analogy to marijuana made here. I don’t know anything about drugs so I apologize for the ridiculously made up names, and non existent strains of weed mentioned here. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me quote something you said in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Can you not discuss trends in worldwide cannabis agriculture on US&#xA;  news broadcasts because it's illegal to grow it in the US (mostly)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lets rephrase that to fit the analogy:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;Since legalisation of marijunana in notreal state in the US, the&#xA;  popularity of XP black has gone down. Everyone seems to be buying&#xA;  mainstream, licenced w8 and w10 weed from licensed dispensaries. Why&#xA;  is that? Have the growops who used to grow XP black made a statement&#xA;  about it?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And well, if we had a “Marijuana.stackexchange” and by some &lt;em&gt;weird&lt;/em&gt; coincidence, I was a moderator there… I’d close it as being opinion based, since its a matter of choices made by customers and freelance herbal packaging groups!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, lets talk about legality. By its nature, something like Windows XP Black or various distributions like that are infringements of copyright. The act of creating such a distribution for personal use from your own copy may not be, but the moment you put a iso online, it is. Essentially, any question about such distributions involve piracy, and in many cases such a question, even—if it were otherwise on topic—would be closed. This is also the underpinning of our policy on Hackintosh questions (and I’ve answered the rare TOS respecting Hackintosh question!).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not a lawyer but to me—as a moderator—this part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/legal&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange TOS&lt;/a&gt; is what’s in play here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Subscriber represents, warrants and agrees that it will not contribute&#xA;  any Subscriber Content that (a) infringes, violates or otherwise&#xA;  interferes with any copyright or trademark of another party…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And a question on XP black essentially interferes with Microsoft’s copyright on Windows XP, and is against the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/legal&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange TOS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, lets talk about what might be an acceptable question.

A question about working out what to remove on an OS install might be overbroad but potentially on topic here.

That is &lt;em&gt;not a answer&lt;/em&gt;. Nothing of what you are saying would ever be a reasonable answer since an answer is not a commentary judgement call on another user’s capabilities. An answer is an answer. You could possibly use a tone like that if you can actually provide a real answer to the issue by saying, “Here is what you can do. I just Googled it from this site.” But as an answer in and of itself, nope.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said—as someone who has been doing tech work for years—I feel your pain, and that kind of tone &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be used as a comment since “Have you tried Google?” is the modern equivalent of “Read the flying &lt;code&gt;*cough*&lt;/code&gt; manual.” But just not without giving the person asking the question the benefit of the doubt.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is not branding/promotion of using “Google,” but rather the immediate aggressive tone. I will admit I have asked if someone did some basic Google searching while dealing with quite bad questions, but only in frustration, only in the comments and only when the question was so bad I avoided standing up to watch it get down voted and closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my approach would be to assume good faith. Some people truly come here in a panic when they have a problem and leave out details, but a simple comment stating, “Well, did you even do a basic Google search? Because I just did and found this, that and the other…” The deal is that sometimes people do come back and say, “Oh, I forgot to mention that…” Other times people will just say, “I saw those, I don’t know what those mean… Please help me! This is urgent!”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reality is you honestly cannot assume someone is just being dense to be dense.

In contrast the tags for &lt;a href=&quot;https://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/fail2ban&quot;&gt;Fail2Ban&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/munin&quot;&gt;Munin&lt;/a&gt; on Server Fault are filled with content. Should I interpret that as the Super User tags are underused and should possibly be reviewed for deletion or perhaps those tags should have more and better content attached to them to help them grow?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is not asking for a consensus at all but maybe some wisdom from those who have been here longer than me. Should these three questions be moved? And for the record, I’m completely fine with a moderator moving these to Server Fault if that makes the most sense.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt; Decided to vote to close my questions for migration to Server Fault.

The current release is the Threshold 2 build.  It was released on November 12th 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Threshold 2 bring several specific enhancements to Windows 10.  Some of those things are not possible in build 10240 (Threshold 1).  An example of this would be installing Windows 10 with a Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 license key.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some other generic improvements that also come with Threshold 2.  In the end there are several major and minor things that make these two builds different enough that warrant separate tags.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I feel this is an important to decide, because when the next update, &lt;code&gt;Windows Anniversary Edition&lt;/code&gt; is released Microsoft Edge will support extensions.  So any answers to questions about Microsoft Edge today might not apply to a user running Windows 10 &lt;code&gt;Windows Anniversary Edition&lt;/code&gt; in a year.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It will be possible to defer &lt;code&gt;Windows Anniversary Edition&lt;/code&gt; and Threshold 2 for a period of time on Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Enterprise installation.  So although these updates are &quot;required&quot; there is still a legitimate need to separate questions even if we are only applying these changes to old questions asked before these updates are released.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So how do we separate Windows 10 questions?  This same question can be applied to the next updates &lt;code&gt;Windows Anniversary Edition&lt;/code&gt; in 2016.  Looking forward the changes between these builds, will be as different as, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are to one another.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As somebody who performed the update to Threshold 2 I can say to the end user, it appears that Windows 10 is being installed again, so this is a major update.  &lt;em&gt;This isn't as simple as installing a service pack.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my suggestion would be to rename the current &lt;code&gt;Windows-10&lt;/code&gt; tag to &lt;code&gt;Windows-10-TH1&lt;/code&gt; and update the description.  Now that Threshold 2 is officialy released we should create a &lt;code&gt;Windows-10-TH2&lt;/code&gt;tag and update the description to indicate the difference between the two releases.

I've occasionally had to have words with you in the past over low quality answers (though that's not a case here), and there's a certain idea you completely focus on bounties over regular posts, and in most cases answers consist of research (occasionally hasty) over in depth, experience based answers, and what seem to be &lt;em&gt;sourced&lt;/em&gt; complete copy pastes of answers elsewhere. Once again, entirely &lt;em&gt;legitimate&lt;/em&gt; and not something that should be penalised, but it's plausible this user thinks not.

I notice you love the challenge of bounties (and repwise it has served you well). I'd suggest broadening your scope, and trying to hit the same levels of epic reputation off of regular answers. Clearly when you try you have &lt;em&gt;above average&lt;/em&gt; research skills, and with a little bit of understanding your audience, you can probably post pretty impressive answers without relying on the bounty system. In short? Stepping outside your comfort zone might help here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Better answers would probably build on your sources – I often add screenshots and issues I had with personal experiences solving the problem, not just source and quote. Take a look at the &lt;em&gt;upvotes&lt;/em&gt; you get over the bounties.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's up to you.

If the only thing you can do is add a comment about rebooting, then leave that comment and don’t post it as an answer.

I'm calling for all Super Users that would like to contribute to the Super User Blog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Where do I get started?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First create an account for the blog.  To do this, you simply go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.superuser.com/wp-admin&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;blog.superuser.com/wp-admin&lt;/a&gt; and log in using your OpenID that you use for the blog (similar to joining a new SE site).  After that, you'll be able to comment on posts, but not create any new posts.  If you want to start creating a post check out the Super User Blog chat room and ping me (@Kronos) so I can get you started.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also be sure to check out and join our &lt;a href=&quot;https://trello.com/b/xdPQplr4/su-blog-posts-scheduling&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Trello&lt;/a&gt; board.  It's a &lt;strike&gt;little&lt;/strike&gt; dusty, but I'll try to keep things as up to date as possible in there.  It's a great tool to know who's working on what.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;I've got an idea I'd like to blog about, how do I start?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Create the idea on the Trello board, and talk to Me about it.  This isn't exactly necessary, but I've been doing this long enough that I'll be able to give some feedback on whether it's an on-topic post or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From there you'll simply use the editor within blog's WordPress engine.  When you think you're done, ping me I'll go over it, and schedule it for being published&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;I'm an unimaginative being and have no ideas, therefore I can't be of any use to you&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;WRONG.  Just because you can't think of something right now, doesn't mean later down the road you won't be able to either.  Plus, we're going to restart the Question of the Month posts, and you can do one of those.  You can also look for interesting questions from Super User and blog about them on your own.  I promise, if you sit down for just a few minutes something will come to mind about  what you can blog about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Wait, blog posts can be on/off topic?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes.  Although wide in subject matter, there are still areas that we really can't/shouldn't explore within the blog.  I know you love your cat, and want to blog about it's heroic deeds as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_kill&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;neighborhood serial killer&lt;/a&gt;, but we just can't blog about it here.  You'll have to find somewhere else to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have any question about what you can and can't blog... you guessed it, just talk to myself and I'll gladly help you out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How often do I need to contribute to the blog?/Is there an expected amount of posts I'm asked to do?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a voluntary thing, and therefore we understand that you're schedules are busy.  You're not expected to give us a certain amount of posts or to be under specific deadlines each week.  If you do however sign up for a post, we do hope that you'll get that post done in time to keep the flow of posts coming.  If you can't make it, please let us know a head of time so we can plan accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Is there a regular schedule to posting on the blog?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;We're shooting for at least one post a month, and at most once every two weeks starting out.  This helps us keeps things on par with that quality that we've already been producing, and doesn't add as much pressure on the bloggers themselves.  &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nope.  I'll take what I can get when I can get it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Are there other ways I can contribute to the blog?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless you're a company and would like us to review your products, right now all we need are contributors to the blog.  That does not mean you'll only be writing posts.  We hope you'll also help look at others posts and give positive feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What's the purpose of this dumb blog anyways?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately it's to give back to the Super User community.

You don't really &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; a login, until your cookies get messed up (or eaten) or you switch PCs. You don't &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; a logon but it helps ensure your questions are all on the same account.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having a bunch of login options is confusing for a new user. While the magical universal login would be nice, everyone wants to run their own, and having multiple option saves us when google or facebook decides they want out of the SSO game. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately the solution is &lt;em&gt;up&lt;/em&gt; to the user and involves a slight understanding of how SE does logins.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unregistered accounts are a bit lame&lt;/em&gt; But hey, you're on meta. You ought to register on a site. Its as simple as clicking on &lt;em&gt;sign up&lt;/em&gt; and picking whether to have a SE account, or better yet, google/facebook&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;pick one site to act as your home site&lt;/em&gt;. I do SU, obviously, though for a period I had SR as my main site on chat. This is just so you know where you have accounts. Basically if you &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; you have a login on one site, you can check if you're logged into it, and do the whole &quot;join this site&quot; and &quot;automagically login to sites you have an account on&quot; things. If I'm logged into superuser, I'm logged in everywhere else I have an account (and that's a lot of sites. I occasionally create accounts to flag spam.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Use an SSO option unless you're paranoid&lt;/em&gt;. Use a google login or facebook login. Or both maybe. If you don't want google or facebook knowing you use these sites, then get a stackexchange login, but that's one more password. I have google and SE logins setup, and you can use more than one.  IMO a stack exchange login is a &lt;em&gt;fallback&lt;/em&gt;. I use google and rarely have to sign back on. And as a moderator, being able to use two factor authentication is useful too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Always make sure you're logged in&lt;/em&gt; And since SU is one of my default tabs, that's simple.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Associate&lt;/em&gt; don't &lt;em&gt;create&lt;/em&gt; new accounts. And once this is done, these sites should be logged into. If you're logged in, its automatic.

In the model for the community our first point is to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/be-nice&quot;&gt;Be Nice&lt;/a&gt;.  We as a community failed at that.  &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; failed at that.  We had a member of our community who was struggling with an aspect of this site and we kicked him while he was down.  And then we kicked him again.  Ben, my Christmas gift to you is I'm going to change my tone in this discussion.  This isn't a problem I share with you but I'm going to try to take the opportunity to see if there's something we can all learn from your situation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Everyone has been chastising Ben for needing to take some personal responsibility on this but we're all ignoring the fact that identity management &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a big issue on the Internet.  Oauth has done a great deal to help solve that but not everything is Oauth compatible.  There isn't a ubiquitous federated identity that's supported everywhere and that &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; cause problems.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ben, you said you want the site to remind you of your username when you try to log in.  How would you see that working?  We can't rely on browser based info for that since most users log in from several different browsers on different computers.  The only other option is that you would provide the site with some identifying information so that it could tell you what you used to log in last time.  This is a very common practice on web sites.  The problem is that the identifying piece of information is typically your username.  Is there some other way that you could identify yourself to the SE site so that it could recognize you and remind you of what your username is?  Is there some other method that SE could use to help you with this issue?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do think in the end the solution to this problem will be an end user solution but if there's something that SE can do to lower the cost of entry wouldn't that be a &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; thing for the community?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Merry Christmas, everyone!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="517872" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:04:46.413" LastActivityDate="2015-12-26T19:40:48.017" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course, if the comment is short, you should refine and expand your answer to make it a bit more detailed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Questions with one or more answers but no accepted answer&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is not possible, and probably never will &lt;em&gt;be&lt;/em&gt; possible, for &lt;strong&gt;anyone&lt;/strong&gt; else to accept an answer (that is, tick the green check mark) on a question, other than the person who originally asked the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My personal opinion is that it should be possible for ♦ moderators to accept an answer on questions that have at least one upvoted answer and no accepted answer for more than 3 months (I just arbitrarily picked that value; maybe 6 months or a year would be better).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would also be a neat 30, 35 or 40k reputation incentive to allow users at that reputation tier to vote on accepting an answer under the same conditions as a ♦ would, except requiring 5 votes in favor of a given answer before it becomes accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However&lt;/strong&gt;, this has been discussed many times on meta.stackexchange and shot down every time. They believe over there that the current system, where only the OP can accept the answer to indicate &quot;this is the answer that helped the OP the most&quot;, is the only valid system. To allow anyone else to accept an answer would be to dilute the ability of the OP to choose the answer they want (even if at an extremely belated date), or to abstain from choosing an answer in order to say, &quot;none of these answers are good enough for me&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If any change like this were to ever happen, it would have to be discussed and approved over on meta.stackexchange, so if you are interested in climbing that mountain (and it will be a VERY tall mountain, and you will need to refine your reasoning and the way you speak in order to win any favor at all over there), you should post the question at &lt;a href=&quot;http://meta.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;meta.SE&lt;/a&gt;.

However, I'm going to play devil's advocate and explain why I think answers like this are fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's generalize the concept to &quot;simple but effective remedies&quot;. This is a category of answer that's extremely easy, well-known, and solves a broad variety of problems, either temporarily or permanently. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My opinion is that these simple but effective remedies should not be posted as an answer, &lt;strong&gt;unless&lt;/strong&gt; the answerer is pretty-darn-sure that it'll actually resolve the problem, due to personal experience or professional advice (e.g. if a KB article says to do it, then it's probably effective. Probably.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So consider two types of answerer:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clueless user trying to milk easy rep by spamming every question with &quot;Try rebooting, that might fix it&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The well-reasoned researcher, who googles around (or has personally hit the same problem) and finds that a reboot or other simple common remedy is the most likely fix. They also provide a link to any evidence they have to third parties that have said that this remedy is effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the case of answerer #2, I'm fine with them posting such an answer, and we shouldn't delete it. In the case of answerer #1, hopefully they get enough low quality flags that the answerer gets suspended or answer-banned after some time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I feel that the quality control systems &lt;em&gt;already in place&lt;/em&gt; provide sufficient filtering of bad answers that simply prompt the querant to reboot without providing any details (especially for questions where doing this is not actually effective).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think there are also probably sufficient systems in place to prevent &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; answers (with reasoning, links, etc.) that prompt the user to do this &lt;em&gt;with good reason&lt;/em&gt; from being deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore I don't think any changes are needed to account for this type of answer. We're already doing what should be done in most cases. If you find a specific instance where this was handled badly, e.g. a bad answer saying &quot;Try rebooting, see if that helps&quot; in response to a &quot;How do I format my cells in Excel?&quot; question, flag it. If you find an answer where it's downvoted or deleted and the &quot;Just reboot and it'll fix it&quot; answer is actually &lt;em&gt;correct&lt;/em&gt;, flag it to be undeleted and/or upvote it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2016-01-04T17:58:32.270" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

His policy would be OK for sites with a narrower focus like, say, Home Theater. But if questions traditionally asked on Super User, for lack of a dedicated site, are allowed to remain on SU even after a dedicated site is introduced, then that leads to a vicious cycle where new visitors searching for a forum to ask FFmpeg questions continue to post on SU. This simply tends to make the new site stillborn. Especially in the case of VP where most questions which are posted there deal with the use of software such as editors, compositors and converters such as FFmpeg.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that Video Production is not a site for video experts only - it is a site for any questions, asked by anyone, concerning methods, processes and tools related to video generation or modification.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The sentiment about loyalty should be loosely applied within a community of &lt;em&gt;sibling sites&lt;/em&gt;, especially for a catch-all site such as SU.

I could easily edit to add this back but I certainly don't want to do so if this is totally wrong on my part, or play the back and forth game, as I'm responsible enough to write answers and exclude things that are inappropriate from a small and quick writing I type up in an answer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should I just do this in certain cases where it may be helpful to an OP in a comment only and keep it out of an answer entirely?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Final Thoughts / Comments&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I felt with doing this in my answer I was actually being helpful to the OP (and SE) so they understand how Q&amp;amp;A sites work on SE to ask a question, get an answer, if the answer is what you need, then accept that answer. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've circled back around to some of my old answers (old to me in my SE time) where a comment was left such as: &quot;IT WORKED&quot;, &quot;YOU ARE AWESOME&quot;, &quot;I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH&quot;, &quot;YOU SAVED MY DAY&quot;, or whatever it may be, but NO accepted answer. I'll leave a quick comment with a link and a little explanation as my above example, and bam, it gets accepted with just a little clarification. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess I was just trying to be proactive for members with little rep and mulitple questions but no accepted answers here and there, but if someone thinks it's inappropriate and I really should NOT be doing this, then I won't. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know there are many unaccepted answered questions on SU (some rightfully maybe some not), and I thought this strategy actually ssisted in trying to not to contribute to those as well. If someone only becomes a member to ask one question and clarifying this (how to accept an answer) a little up front helped to get them to accept an answer that someone spent time on that worked for them, then I don't see the big deal. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Am I really wrong here, or am I being nitpicked, etc.?  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Would a comment be appropriate with this if I am wrong?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How would I know when it is or is not appropriate (guidelines?)?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="510662" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2016-01-13T16:09:02.213" Title="Is to clarify (not ask) about Accepting an Answer inappropriate in ALL cases?"

As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What are Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

So shutting down your computer every once in a while – and I do mean actually shutting down, not just hibernating or putting it to sleep – can give it a “fresh start” of sorts and make it seem nice and zippy again. However, different computers and OS’s are not all equally affected by this phenomenon. Generally, a computer with a lot of RAM can go for much longer than a computer with only a little RAM. A server, on which you just start up a few programs and then let them work, will be fine for much longer than a desktop computer, where you’re constantly opening and closing different programs and doing different things with them. Plus, server operating systems are optimized for long-term use. It’s also been said that Linux and Mac OS tend to run for longer than Windows systems, although in my experience that mostly depends on what programs you use on them, and not so much on any differences between the kernels of the operating systems themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="504389" LastActivityDate="2016-01-15T16:58:08.113" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Often, I don't bother to go through the effort of manually checking the edit history to get all the gory details, so the result is simply that some credibility is questioned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, the question already had that pollution because of a minor (but very worthy) edit on April 15th, so I agree that the post looks better because of the edit.  (The post still shows an edit, but simply shows a different person's name.)  If it wasn't changed yet, I would feel more strongly that the edit should not occur.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still, I think there is some harm in encouraging people to add such frivolous changes.  This question is years old.  I expect such a change would kick this question back to the top of the list of questions with recent activity (and thereby knocking another question off the list... which may be a more recent question that would actually benefit more by having someone notice it and add a more significant update).  I therefore disagree with the submitter's proposal to make the edit, and would prefer that this be rejected so that the submitter realizes that more substantial work is needed to edit the questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know, &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://meta.stackexchange.com/help/editing&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange help: Editing&lt;/A&gt; says &quot;To add related resources or hyperlinks&quot; is a valid reason for editing.

Likewise, if the question is about tmux, and has the tmux tag, I probably won't need to have a hyperlink to tell me what tmux is.  (If the hyperlinks being added pointed me to a specific page that had information that provided details related to the question, perhaps because the web page contained a demonstration of the situation, that might be a useful hyperlink.)  I might also agree that a hyperlink to Info-Zip might be useful, since there are multiple programs named &quot;zip&quot; on the planet.  However, hyperlinking to &quot;tmux&quot; doesn't seem as useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all, I would probably push &quot;Skip&quot; (since the question had been edited before), but my inclination would be to reject rather than pass, so the submitter strives to only take up our time (by submitting new changes), and kicking questions to the top of the list again, when things are more useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="401839" LastActivityDate="2016-01-18T21:48:00.593" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I realise that there are situations where people are clearly just saying 'I want a script to do this, gimme gimme gimme', but for a lot of users it seems they legitimately just don't know where to start.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One example is &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1033741/excel-enter-time-without-colon-hhmmss-and-keep-time-format-to-calculate&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, where I started creating an answer, went away, came back to it and noticed the comments stating we aren't a script writing service (which I completely agree with for a lot of cases).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, at this point, I'd pretty much already finished the answer and so submitted it. I realise this creates a conflict of interests and potentially propagates incorrect behaviour in asking a question, perhaps I shouldn't have started answering it (hence this question).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My assumption is that, if they knew where to start or what to try, they probably wouldn't be asking the question in the first place.

Nowadays, the preferred reason is Too Broad, since boatloads of different scripts could accomplish the same thing.

Again, there's a place for such things, but to keep the quality and usefulness of this place up, we don't accept them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's also the issue of troubleshooting which you alluded to. Let's see what Stack Overflow has to say about that:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Questions seeking debugging help (&lt;strong&gt;&quot;why isn't this code working?&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;) must include the desired behavior, a &lt;em&gt;specific problem or error&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;the shortest code necessary&lt;/em&gt; to reproduce it &lt;strong&gt;in the question itself&lt;/strong&gt;. Questions without a &lt;strong&gt;clear problem statement&lt;/strong&gt; are not useful to other readers.

Therefore, such questions should include what was tried, what resulted, and what was expected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question is simple and understandable but a little misguided, it'd be great if you could fix it up via editing and then answer it. (We even have a three-tier series of badges for it: Explainer → Refiner → Illuminator.) Demolishing it via close votes is acceptable if it's not OK in the current form, but there's certainly nothing wrong with bringing it back in-scope if possible. Since the point of Q&amp;amp;A is mostly the A, we love useful, canonical, &lt;em&gt;quality&lt;/em&gt; answers even when the question was basic or initially dubious.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for asking how to keep Super User's quality high!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="380318" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:39:37.027" LastActivityDate="2016-02-01T14:26:45.967" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Posting a question simply means you have posted a question to the community. And if someone sees it and has solid advice then they will answer it.

But there's a gray area between lazy OP and confused newbie where we should act constructively to help the OP refine the question rather than shut them down.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some users have too fast of a reflex on the &quot;we are not a script writing service&quot; comment.  It's appropriate when somebody asks an elementary question that shows no research effort.  However, many of these questions involve a problem or twist for which a basic search isn't likely to yield a solution, or a beginner who either legitimately doesn't know where to start or can't understand the research he's found.  IMHO, way too many of the &quot;not a script writing&quot; comments are just inappropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They have unintended consequences that are harmful to contributors as well as the questioner.  A perfect example: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1032773/adding-or-replacing-text-within-hyperlinks&quot;&gt;Adding or Replacing text within hyperlinks&lt;/a&gt;.

However, that was after another user left a &quot;we are not a script writing service&quot; comment that told the OP to go play with it on his own and come back if he got stuck.  It was a relatively new user who likely took his cue from the rampant postings of that comment by a few high-rep users.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Guess what?

By that token, almost every question on this site should have either the 32-bit or 64-bit tag. When used this way, the tag is just noise. I think many of the questions currently tagged [64-bit] fall in this category. These should be cleaned up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This leaves two possible uses for the tag: either the question is about the bitness of the platform/OS/process/whatever, or it is about a problem that is directly related to the 32/64-bit distinction.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In either case, having &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/64-bit&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;64-bit&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;64-bit&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/32-bit&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;32-bit&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;32-bit&lt;/a&gt; as individual tags makes little sense.

It also doesn't carry the ambiguity of the other tags. (No one is going to apply the [bitness] tag to indicate which platform they're on.)

If you don't like a question, downvote it (and maybe leave a comment explaining why).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this specific case, I'm not sure that flags are appropriate. I'm fairly certain this was in the close queue for some non-duplicate reason a while back, and I chose Leave Open. (I might be thinking of another question, though.) It's an adequate question, and apparently a common one to which there is not yet a good answer. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/11256/380318&quot;&gt;DavidPostill's answer&lt;/a&gt; did point out &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/47908/380318&quot;&gt;that it's likely a duplicate&lt;/a&gt;, and I would add that asking about two programs in one question is not the greatest thing to do. Perhaps the Excel aspect should be removed so that it's focused and not a duplicate. All of that said, the question is clear, and an &quot;unclear what you're asking&quot; flag would almost certainly be declined. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Frivolous questions, like trying to make a movie in Excel, shouldn't be closed, but would warrant downvotes for being pointless.

Let me add a few thoughts to fill in around the edges.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Closing (or flagging) is focused on whether the question meets site criteria (e.g., on-topic, answerable, within the intended scope of a single question, etc.), rather than quality.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Voting is focused on question quality and usefulness&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the site is to build a knowledge base of questions and answers that will benefit others.  So to the extent that we can, it's desirable to improve questions if they aren't understandable.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Comments are the tool to ask clarifying questions so the question's shortcomings can be addressed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Voting can provide an incentive if the OP isn't responsive to comments, or an alert to readers that there may be some ambiguity or other issues.  But responsible voting includes retracting a downvote if the issues are fixed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When attempts to improve the question have been exhausted and you think the question is still unclear and/or generally of no value to anyone, voting is an appropriate way to express your opinion.  An explanatory comment is another way, which adds more value.  A vote with an accompanying comment provides the most value.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, we all approach questions with a particular mind set and knowledge.  We may see things others have missed, see things from a different perspective, not be familiar with related facts that point to a specific answer, or our brain might not make a connection that upon clarification leads to a forehead smack.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even bad questions can receive an upvote or two.  However, when a question is heavily upvoted, that's a sign that a lot of people found it clear and valuable.  Before jumping in with a downvote in those cases, it pays to take a step back and ask whether you might be missing something that others saw, and maybe post your observation in a comment and see if you get any feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, with &quot;doesn't make sense&quot;, keep a distinction between incomprehensible and misguided.  If a question is incomprehensible, the appropriate action is to get it fixed so that it is understandable and answerable.  If a question is misguided, that can point to the answer, which involves explaining why/how the OP is thinking about the problem incorrectly.  In that case &quot;doesn't make sense&quot; can actually be a good question that, when properly answer, helps others clarify their thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2016-02-24T21:54:58.110" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As long as a tag exists, it has the potential to be used.  If it has no definition and is ambiguous, Murphy's law says it will not only be used, but misused, creating work later.  Users don't always read the excerpts, but to the extent they do, it helps to have one, even if the tag is temporary.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some of the manufacturer meta tags have been edited to state that the tag is deprecated and not to use it.  At some point, the tag will be gone.  In the meantime, the edit is useful.  The manufacturer tags with no deprecation warning are continuing to pop up on new questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As both Hastur and Raystafarian described, removal of a tag should be a separate action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Time Consideration: If a tag has any significant number of questions, the protocol for tag cleanup is for a public comment period of typically a week or more, so the tag will typically be around for awhile and subject to the consideration mentioned above.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The example here is sort of a special case.  If a tag is blatantly bad (and there's disagreement over whether this one was), and has only a couple of questions, users with enough rep to edit can (and do) just delete the tags.  In that case, the only justification for the edit is the one in Raystafarian's answer.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The empty tags are deleted by the system in 24 hours.  If you have less than 20K rep, you can only vote to approve the tag edits, and the edits need to attract sufficient other voters who agree.  So, it's a race to the finish line whether the editor will even get the rep unless you purposely delay deleting the tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2016-02-25T18:07:44.770" LastActivityDate="2016-02-25T18:07:44.770" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But you shouldn't just copy an entire article verbatim, or make it appear as if you wrote it yourself – hence the use of block quote formatting and attribution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please note this is general feedback based on your meta question; I haven't looked over any of the specific answers you posted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's just getting ridiculous @Admin... your staff needs an overhaul or a good stern company meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moderators are not staff.

If the original question was tagged with a product line tag and otherwise poorly tagged, it may be difficult to find.

In such cases, I'd suggest directing them to SP.SE only if they fail to generate any/enough useful answers here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SP.SE still has the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sharepoint.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1094/35499&quot;&gt;lowest vote-to-post ratio in the network&lt;/a&gt; (possibly excepting any sites created after that post was written and therefore not included in the provided query). A side effect of this fact is that it can be very difficult for a new user to gain rep there, which may discourage users from posting more questions there after earning tumbleweed two or three times. SU has awarded close to 3 times as many Tumbleweed badges as it has Nice Answer badges; on SP.SE that ratio is closer to &lt;strong&gt;200 to 1.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A significant portion of SP.SE's questions are of a highly technical nature, involving aspects such as PowerShell scripting and server farm administration. I'm a Site Collection Administrator for a team site in a large corporate environment, and while I have access to do &lt;em&gt;almost&lt;/em&gt; anything I want/need to do on that site, I have often found a question on SP.SE that exactly matches my situation, except that the OP had access to PowerShell and/or Central Administration in their environment and thus accepted an answer involving one or both of those utilities, neither of which are within my purview.

Some tags, like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/collaboration&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;collaboration&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;collaboration&lt;/a&gt;, have the same problem, and some in this category (like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/time-management&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;time-management&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;time-management&lt;/a&gt;) are product recommendation requests.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps a community wiki post would be appropriate to sort these tags into the above three categories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="380318" LastEditorUserId="380318" LastEditDate="2016-03-10T17:23:38.523" LastActivityDate="2016-03-10T17:23:38.523" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In fact, depending on exactly what you do with the software, and the platform/version you're running, it may be the case that two users with different use cases have completely different reliability: one person might view it as perfectly reliable with no bugs whatsoever because they simply aren't triggering any code paths that contain bugs, whereas another user might hit &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; code path that has a bug.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not only that, but each user's threshold for what is considered to be an acceptable amount of bugs in software is highly variable. I'm sure a LibreOffice developer has a very different idea of how many bugs they can tolerate while still getting work done, vs. a first-time computer user. The former will probably be able to work around even major missing features, whereas the latter would get &quot;stuck&quot; upon a simple problem like the absence of a tooltip.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, since OpenOffice is free to download and use, really the only way to &quot;tell&quot; if it's reliable &lt;em&gt;for you&lt;/em&gt; (for what you use it for, on the platform you're running, with the hardware you use, etc.) is to &lt;strong&gt;just download and try it&lt;/strong&gt;. There's really no better way to judge its reliability than to spend some time using the software and see it for yourself. If it were proprietary and expensive to purchase, it would be understandable if you wanted to ask others' opinion of the software before buying it, but even in that case, it would still be off-topic for Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2016-03-11T02:03:43.000" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Perhaps the site is in decay.  Perhaps they can only answer questions about topics other than my question.  Perhaps I will look for an alternative resource that focuses on my specific topic.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And the Unknown User departs, and takes with them the best question ever to be asked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My first thought when considering this is, perhaps an indication of activity would be better than an indication of inactivity.

Or median or mode.  It could be anything.  Numbers can tell a story very quickly, which is why the site is peppered with them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So let me rephrase this question - what kind of statistic do you think would be the most compelling for the Unknown User to invest their time in asking their incredible question at SU rather than elsewhere?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here I am trying to shift the consideration away from those users that will ask crappy questions and demand fast answers.

Stack Overflow has disallowed that for a while; it might be time to think about doing that here too. I say that not only because I think people should have at least a shred of investment in the site, but because I &lt;em&gt;frequently&lt;/em&gt; see question edit suggestions submitted by the same person under a different anonymous account. If login is required for that feature, people will be dramatically less likely to &quot;lose&quot; their questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, there should be more information presented to new users when asking questions. I know there are links to the help center on the Ask Question page, but they're not nearly obvious enough. Also, due to the wide audience of the site, we get &lt;em&gt;boatloads&lt;/em&gt; of people flooding in who don't understand the Stack Exchange model. The tour does a little to help this, but not everyone reads the tour, and I wish it was more specific about how we're not a forum. I'm imagining a checklist like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What have you tried or searched for?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Is your question specific and technical?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Have you put effort into formatting your question well?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Have you included all information necessary to answer your question?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unrelated to questions, but there should totally be a more obtrusive warning the first time an anonymous or new user attempts to answer a question, explaining that every answer must be an actual &lt;em&gt;answer&lt;/em&gt; that adds new content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we want to get pretty intense, I'm imagining a quiz that new users would take before asking a question, asking them to identify which of a set of posts is appropriate for Super User. If they fail, a little blurb would appear explaining what was wrong with the selected post and how it could be improved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically, we need to make it clear that Super User isn't just about getting answers, it's about building a top-quality resource, and that requires effort from everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I could give only one piece of advice to new users before their first post, I would boil down all my thoughts into this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look for a precedent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;That is, look for an existing, moderately-highly-upvoted, recent post that's in the same style and area as yours. Wondering whether your formatting is good enough? See what the community's response has been on posts that look like yours. Checking whether your question is on-topic? Look what people had to say about similar ones. If you can't find a well-received precedent, be very cautious.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for what should be done now, we must continue using votes and comments as appropriate. Do your best to be courteous (I like to tell people what they'll be able to do eventually - usually in response to a comment posted as an answer). Wordsmith up some reusable &quot;canned comments&quot; if you must.

Speaking of different questions, asking so many different things in one post is frowned upon (and why your question was closed as &lt;em&gt;too broad&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The accepted answer is to the point where appropriate (e.g. in response to #3) and more expanded when things are less cut and dry (e.g. #6).

I suggest being more specific with your titles. &lt;em&gt;Never&lt;/em&gt; say something is urgent here. If it's truly urgent, get professional assistance. Make the title say something of substance about the post; writing it as an interrogative sentence helps with that. Remember, the title and tags are the only thing people will see of your question in question lists.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's nice to be polite and say thanks, but we don't include such things in post bodies here.

The effect on the user is something that could be determined only by experimentation.

Migrating crappy questions that are vaguely related to another site does no favors to anybody. It wastes time for people on the receiving site who have to deal with a low quality question, and either make it acceptable or reject the migration. It wastes the time of people on the originating site who vote to migrate something which just gets kicked back.

There are a certain number of Qs that get large #s of upvotes on both the Q and the As, with some correlation to quality and a higher correlation to the general appeal of the content (meaning the topic is understood by and applicable to a high % of users), but there are hundreds of Q and A(s) with solid, in scope content and accurate responses where the entire thread is 0'd, and the OP doesn't even acknowledge the answer. Or does, but doesn't upvote it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm a newb, and what do I know, but it seems like an odd culture for this sort of platform.

It's simply a build of Adobe Flash Player that embeds into browsers using PPAPI (Pepper) rather than NPAPI (Netscape plugin API), because NPAPI support has been discontinued for years by both Google and Adobe. On Windows you will get one of &lt;em&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; different versions of Flash depending on browser (PPAPI for Chrome, NPAPI for Firefox, ActiveX for IE), but that's a detail that hardly anyone has to worry about; you don't see a lot of questions about &quot;ActiveX Flash&quot; in particular.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The PPAPI version of Flash is bundled with Chrome and so normally doesn't need to be distributed separately, but Debian includes Chromium, which doesn't bundle Flash, but still supports it, so they need a package to add that in. It's a separate package from the old (NPAPI) Flash plugin because that one is still getting security updates, but it's a completely different version — Flash 11 for NPAPI, and Flash 22 (currently) for PPAPI. Since they update separately and have different versions, they're separate packages, thus &quot;pepperflashplugin&quot; vs &quot;flashplugin&quot;. I would have gone for &quot;flashplugin-ppapi&quot; myself, but what can you do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe the reason Debian says Pepper Flash is &quot;maintained by Google&quot; is because Google is the &lt;em&gt;distribution channel&lt;/em&gt; for the version of the plugin that they install.

There are likely more than one forum that would be appropriate depending on what the actual question is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I agree in principle with the previous answer (Sheehan), but I disagree in the sense that there is no question to post yet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This statement is hearsay without any reference to symptoms or a cause or severity. As there is no question to answer, no forum to post in. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try to put the question in your own words and perhaps narrow it down to a field of study or industry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you put a magnet (speaker) near a magnetic medium (tape, cyl. hard drive), you could change the positioning of the magnetized particles. That is how data is written/erased.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With that info, even without a reference yet, you can formulate a question.

Firstly I did not judge it on the technical merit of your suggestion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I felt that you were asking the OP clarification questions and only providing a vague solution in addition to them. This sort of thing is exactly what comments are for.

He's going to move it to a new PC and wants to make sure that it's not possible to re-use it on the old one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The thing is, DreamSpark license forbids installing Windows on computers that don't have COA sticker (so you can only use it as an upgrade), so what OP is trying to do, even if technically feasible, is forbidden by license.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think that it's a special case of &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/66377/267029&quot;&gt;XY problem&lt;/a&gt;. OP asks how to Y (move the license), but he assumes that X (installing DreamSpark Windows on his new PC) is possible. Technically X is possible, but he accepted a license agreement which forbids it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In his comment to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1085923/194694&quot;&gt;my answer&lt;/a&gt; another user suggested that the license may not apply in this case and even if it does, a proper answer should answer actual question asked.

For the record, unauthorized copying of software (e.g. in violation of your EULA) is &lt;strong&gt;THEFT&lt;/strong&gt; under US law.  Not only can a person be sued civilly, the government can criminally prosecute you for copyright infringement. If convicted, you can be fined up to $250,000, sentenced to jail for up to five years, or both.  Further, helping someone break the law is often considered conspiracy whether you knew a law was being broken or not.  Even worse, StackExchange/StackOverflow can be held liable as well since they're the intermediary content provider.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Location of the person asking and the person answering are largely irrelevant.

Answering old questions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Over about a 3 day period, I searched through SU questions in my speciality topic area (proxy servers). I spent quite a lot of time and answered about 30 questions, many of which had no other answer.  Compared to other sites, I found the response to the answers (mostly no response at all) to be quite discouraging, and in fact learned that if you want to gain rep on here, you need to jump on new questions quickly, and ignore old ones.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn't going to get all those old questions answered.  Many of the &quot;unanswered&quot; questions I saw actually had a perfectly good answer.  Sometimes the asker just wanted reality to be different so resisted accepting the correct answer, or worse argued with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know that &quot;late answers&quot; are reviewed, and so I think it would be interesting if reviewers were encouraged to give some kind of reaction to the answer, such as an upvote or downvote if they feel the answer deserves it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In many cases these questions come up on google searches, and so an answer even years later can still be useful to people.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.

There are design principles based on physics, engineering, and other disciplines.

That deserves careful consideration and discussion because it will be somewhat of a precedent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other is the issue of plagiarism, which I see as more clear cut, immediate, and serious.  On SF, both the original question and answer have rock star status, with the kind of upvotes normally associated with hot network topics or top CW threads.  The answer is likely to also attract serious upvotes here.  It is absolutely improper to accrue rep, especially substantial rep, for copying someone else's hard work.  The only condition under which we should be discussing the canonical question aspects is if posts such as this are CW, so no personal rep accrues, and prominently attributed to the original author.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But this still spills over for the original author.  A lot of work goes into developing an answer like this.  We shouldn't be taking action here that deprives the author of rep that could accrue to his answer.  I love Mokubai's suggestion in his comment on the SU question to invite the author to post here.  That's really the best solution.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Short of that, reposting an answer here as CW still deprives the author of traffic and rep for the original post.  It would be much fairer to the author to send readers to the original post.  That doesn't serve as a canonical answer here, though.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But it suggests that the proper, and fair, way to do it would be not to copy answers wholesale from elsewhere, but to develop our own.  As Ben N describes, SU's focus is going to be a little different, anyway.  We can borrow bits and pieces, and attribute those to the original author.  That way, we have a canonical answer here that is customized to our site, and also direct some traffic back to the author.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2016-07-27T21:11:54.973" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Questions on cleaning these aren't typically an issue.  Other components require cleaning only if they get disgusting.   Cleaning these is more cosmetic and doesn't usually affect computer performance or usability.  Questions are sometimes treated as frivolous, even though they are computer components and have constraints on how they can be safely cleaned in a way that does not affect performance. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1106215/cleaning-computer-and-electric-cables-in-the-dishwasher&quot;&gt;Cleaning computer cables In the dishwasher&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This user inherited a large collection of varied cables and was looking for an efficient, safe way to clean them.  He could have asked whether there would be any risk to dumping them all in a big bucket of very hot soapy water, and that might not have aroused more than the usual resistance to cleaning questions of this kind.  However, he asked whether it was safe to use a dishwasher based on people having used that to clean keyboards, which include a cable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some people reacted as if it was a question about dishwasher science.  One comment was &quot;you are kidding right?&quot;, which received 8 upvotes as of this writing.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although the question originally included a long list of cable types, they all fell into three groups:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Never do it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Safe to do it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Residual water might not be great for cable life but probably wouldn't cause a performance problem.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The OP did complicate things a little by later adding power bricks to the list, although most people would just stick those in the &quot;never&quot; category.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;answers&lt;/strong&gt; have some differences on the specific risks of residual water (the &quot;why&quot;), but the overall recommendations (do vs. don't) have the limited range of answers typical of most questions.  However, the question was closed as too broad. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the time of writing this, the question has had over 2,650 views in the first two days, which is pretty good interest, and 21 upvotes and 4 downvotes, which indicates that a lot of people found the question useful (and a few hated it).  The close votes are what surprised me.

If the moderators determine your question is high quality, but misplaced, they can migrate the question.  Overall, people on these sites seem to be happier about seeing a well-written question than worrying about whether the site's target audience is the better choice than one of the other target audiences from a rather similar-ish Stack Exchange site.

That's not an opinion.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Considering the effort that I went to in providing sources for the information I provided, its a tough sell to call the answer opinion based. There isn't much logical consistency in believing that a question is opinion based but has an entirely fact based answer backed up with sources from science, research and industry. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a side note, there are very few posts on this topic on SU that are thorough, provide sources, and are fully accurate. Most get some key aspects of the subject incorrect. I won't bore anyone with the list of answer and the inaccuracies in them, but compared to most topics covered on SU, this one needed a good, thorough and verifiable answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I made sure that I said nothing I could't back up with a legitimate source, or in a couple cases, I noted that the statement was in dispute or in active study, and the answer isn't yet 100% known. None of that falls under opinion. Active scientific debate is not opinion - it's a key foundation of the scientific method.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any event, the answer I gave was well received and I felt covered the topic pretty thoroughly. Regardless of the process behind closing the question, it seems pretty strange to wipe out the reputation that comes with the answer. A search through this forum didn't clarify whether or not that was supposed to happen; this &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/4782/250153&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; seems to indicate it is not supposed to be subtracted out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have two questions / comments about this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is the policy on removing reputation on a well received answer when the original question was deleted?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think its worth considering making the process of closing / deleting someone's contribution(s) more transparent. It would be trivial to offer the impacted parties an opportunity to address the concerns; a message to the impacted users containing the rationale for the decision and with a mechanism to for them to provide feedback if they see fit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="250153" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:07.653" LastActivityDate="2016-08-14T19:48:54.663" Title="Electrostatic Discharge got deleted and reputation from the answers disappeared" Tags="|discussion|support|reputation|deleted-questions|" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The site sometimes gets really good answers to a really bad question, and that should be considered in making decisions on the question's disposition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deletion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/307/random&quot;&gt;random&lt;/a&gt; points out, questions are closed when they don't meet site standards or aren't a good fit, which means they generally don't belong here.  However, there are levels of &quot;needing to go&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Spam, obscene, or otherwise in need of immediate removal&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Off-topic, unconstructive, and of no real use to any user (no reason to keep it longer than it needs to be here)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Marginally on-topic, very poor quality, probably of use or interest to just the OP (give it a short window of opportunity to see if anybody can improve it or there is any general interest)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Issues like being opinion based but otherwise on-topic (the resolution needs to consider other factors, which I'll mention, but removal isn't an emergency)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Closed questions that meet certain criteria for automated handling get deleted by the system, depending on &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/5222/269940&quot;&gt;time, votes, answers. views, and author status&lt;/a&gt;.  However, that can take a year or more (or never, for questions that don't meet the criteria).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the system needs manual house cleaning for questions that aren't handled automatically or for which human judgement would be more effective.  That can be done by moderators or high reputation users, but deletion should be done cautiously.  For example, a question that is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;clearly off-topic by today's standards&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;should have been considered off-topic at the time it was written&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;has answers that provide no current value&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if there are high upvotes they make no sense to a sober viewer  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's no reason to wait if there is a reason to clean house.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even then, the need to remove it is not an emergency.  And certainly, if it involves a newer question and non-trivial rep is involved, it isn't so critical to remove it that it must be done immediately; it can wait at least until the rep is &quot;vested&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is also an alternative to deletion (historically locking the question), for threads that can still be useful, even though they aren't a good fit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mitigating factors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A deletion decision should take a number of mitigating factors into account:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Potential for improvement.&lt;/strong&gt;  There used to be a &quot;very low quality&quot; close reason, a criterion for which was that the question didn't even have the potential to be improved.  Deletion decisions should lean in that direction.  Even if the question doesn't get improved during the hold period or soon after closure, if it received significant upvotes, or good answers, that points to some raw potential.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good answers answer something, and it ought to be possible to make the question worthy of the answers.  Worst case for a thread that would face deletion, anyway, would be to rewrite the question to reflect how the question &quot;should have been asked&quot;.  I'm not talking about a case where someone writes a great answer to something that is different from what the question asks.  We don't rewrite questions to fit the answer.  The solution there might be to post an entirely new question and recycle the answer.  I'm referring to the case where the answer answers what was asked, so rewriting the question doesn't change the meaning or intent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This question is a case in point.  Clean up would have been better before closure, but people were spurred to action by this Meta question.  The question went from being deleted to being improved and reopened because the potential was there all along, as evidenced by the answers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community opinion.&lt;/strong&gt;  Not much about the site's standards are absolutely cut and dry or set in stone, and that's on purpose.  Within limits, the community decides what should be here.  Sometimes the voting looks like a lot of people were under the influence, but when the community has spoken, we should be extremely careful about overruling it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actual answer quality.&lt;/strong&gt;  When a crappy question is sitting there by its lonesome, we can speculate that it is likely to attract low quality answers.  And if those low quality answers start coming in, we can know we were right.  In either case, we can give serious thought to closure and deletion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if good answers start coming in, we need to reassess the speculation.  You can't act on the basis of &quot;answers will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions&quot; when you have the answers and clearly they are not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Value of the answers.&lt;/strong&gt;  The purpose of the site is a knowledge base of quality answers; the answers are the &quot;meat&quot; of the site.  The questions provide the framework for originally creating the answers, and serve as a way to anchor and organize the answers to help find them.  But Google finds answers directly, the searches don't rely on the quality of the question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Like the question that triggered this thread, a poor quality question might not get improved, at least in a timely way.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/73918/bwdraco&quot;&gt;bwDraco's&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/11714/364367&quot;&gt;answer&lt;/a&gt; to a related Meta question makes the point that high quality answers should never be discarded on the basis of the quality of the question.

Finally, moderators can instantly delete any post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for why they're removed, people in favor of deleting closed questions generally refer to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-broken-window-theory/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;the broken window theory&lt;/a&gt;, which basically states that bad things accumulate at a rate proportional to the number of existing bad things. Following this reasoning, leaving unacceptable questions around encourages more bad questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I disagree. Closing, in my view, already boards up the broken window. The closure notice is a very good and very clear indicator that the question is not currently acceptable (if it ever was). Deletion makes it much more difficult for any useful information to be saved. We should close bad questions fast to prevent answerers from wasting effort on them, but once a good answer is posted, we should do some serious thinking before hiding it. The rules for automatic deletion already consider that - even a very heavily downvoted question won't be roomba'd if it has even one upvoted answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A special aspect of moderator insta-deletion is that such posts will not accept undelete votes from normal members of the community. Even though 10K+ users can see them in the &quot;recently deleted&quot; section of the 10K tools, we can't bring them back if we disagree with the deletion.

But a well-written answer doesn't really even need the question.  With great answers, the question becomes mainly a tool to help organize and find the answers.  But searches can find the answers directly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the relative importance of the question vs. the answers changes after the answers come in if the answers are good.  And that change in importance means that our strategy for making decisions about the thread should change with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Strategy vs. poor questions' changing problem&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the absence of good answers&lt;/strong&gt;, a bad question doesn't add value to the site.

I think you needn't feel guilty for not proactively spending your time just in case someone else wants to benefit from your expended efforts, nor is there a reason why someone should feel bad for not working hard to turn this site into what somebody else is envisioning.  Instead, you satisfied the OP, whom is the more important audience (since the OP was seeking an answer).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="401839" LastActivityDate="2016-08-18T04:08:34.227" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I drafted a wiki and excerpt for it based on the usage so far (which refers to Android Debug Bridge).  ADB already has multiple computer-related uses (as DavidPostill points out in a comment, also Advanced Debugger,  and user2943160 mentions Apple Desktop Bus), so an acronym tag is just asking for misuse.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on adb already referring to multiple things, the logical approach is to have spelled-out tags for each use and an adb tag that advises users to pick the appropriate one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I could create a new &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/android-debug-bridge&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;android-debug-bridge&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;android-debug-bridge&lt;/a&gt; tag, move the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/adb&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;adb&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;adb&lt;/a&gt; wiki contents to it, and retag the couple of existing questions.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We don't yet have any questions about Advanced Debugger, so we can't create a tag for that.  Apple Desktop Bus hasn't been in use for awhile, so we may not get new questions for that particular use at this point.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Rather than synonomizing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/adb&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;adb&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;adb&lt;/a&gt; with a specific use, it should be turned into a &quot;do not use&quot; tag that guides readers to the appropriate choices.  Right now, there's only one choice, so this would imply editing the wiki excerpt as other adb-related tags are created.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As Ben N points out in his answer, more users think in terms of &quot;adb&quot; than &quot;Android Debug Bridge&quot;, so simply deleting the adb tag may complicate tagging for users.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I'm not aware of a way to link a tag to more than one other tag to preserve it, and I don't think synonomizing allows you to have a different wiki.  It would also automatically link new question with the synonomized tag, which might be the wrong one.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's the best general solution for acronym tags, especially when they are known, or likely, to refer to multiple things?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thought: incorporate the acronym into the spelled-out tag. I don't know the limits on tag text (max characters, number of hyphenated terms, acceptable non-letter characters other than hyphen and I think period).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If each spelled out tag includes &quot;adb&quot;, something like: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/android-debug-bridge...adb&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;android-debug-bridge...adb&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;android-debug-bridge...adb&lt;/a&gt;, they could potentially show up for selection when the user enters &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt;.  That isn't guaranteed, though.  A maximum of 6 candidate tags are displayed when the user starts typing a tag, and I believe the displayed subset is based on popularity.

As DavidPostill notes in the comments, though, there's also a Unix debugger by that name.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Clearly, a tag shouldn't refer to multiple things, and it doesn't seem fair to assign the acronym tag to one of the several possible meanings, so having the acronym around at all seems less than ideal. That said, I'm &lt;em&gt;sure&lt;/em&gt; somebody will create the acronym tag again if we remove it, and then we'll have to fix that mess. Therefore, while not ideal at all, creating a synonym to one of the possible meanings would work around that problem. Since the wiki excerpt shows up after a tag is typed but before it's added, users of other meanings &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; notice that the tag they tried isn't what they're after.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &quot;do not use&quot; excerpt for the acronym tag would be great if we didn't have to apply it to one question. It would be really neat if we could set excerpts for nonexistent tags, then people would still get the warning when trying to create it. Otherwise, people would surely apply it anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From an aesthetic standpoint, I'm not really a fan of having the acronym bolted on to every spelled-out tag. It looks a little weird to me, and it's inconsistent with how our tags normally look. (Unlike on &lt;a href=&quot;https://mathoverflow.net/&quot;&gt;Math Overflow&lt;/a&gt;, where all their math-related tags start with an acronym.) Unfortunately, it seems that having text in the excerpt doesn't have any effect on the tag's placement in the tag suggestions area.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, while not the best of all worlds, it looks like synonymizing the acronym to the most common spelled-out tag would be the most expedient option, provided that we wrote a very obvious and concise tag wiki excerpt.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="380318" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:58:47.503" LastActivityDate="2016-08-29T15:09:28.583" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The main problem with that is that it needs to be tied to a question (actually two questions, since new tags are deleted by the system if they don't get a second question within six months, I believe it is; I'm not sure whether a question being locked would affect this).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &quot;thinking outside the box&quot; idea: tie the acronym tag to two placeholder questions.  The gist of how it might work:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The questions could be community wikis.  One could be made a duplicate of the other.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We do have single-question tags, so it isn't clear if these pre-date the two question rule, or once a tag has two or more questions, it is not deleted if it later goes down to a single question.  If it is the latter, we could eliminate or merge the second question at some point.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We would probably want to at least protect these questions to minimize fly-by &quot;answers&quot;.  They could be locked, but that could require moderator intervention if we want to maintain the question (see below).  Even so, this would be an infrequent occurrence. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;We're approaching 1/3 million questions and there are a limited number of non-unique acronym tags.  The number of placeholder questions would be insignificant in the scheme of things and would simply disappear into the woodwork.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There are some complex rules for questions being automatically deleted by the system (&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/5222/269940&quot;&gt;How does deleting work?&lt;/a&gt;).  Locking will protect it.  Otherwise, various combinations of answers, votes, closure, views, etc. could allow the placeholder questions to be deleted by the system, and we would need to ensure that the questions don't fall into those criteria.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just a placeholder question with the acronym tag.&lt;/strong&gt;  The title could be something like &lt;strong&gt;What is ADB?&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Either the title or the body would include an indicator that it is just a placeholder question (perhaps &quot;[system placeholder question]&quot; in the title so the user can ignore it in search results?).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The body would explain that it's an internal placeholder, and not to mess with it or try to post answers to it (other than the &quot;system&quot; answers described below).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It can also include guidance on use of the spelled out tags (what would go in the acronym tag's wiki excerpt, but without the length limitation).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add the spelled out tags.&lt;/strong&gt;  As new tags are added (assuming we don't exceed four different uses), add these to the question.  That's one more place to quickly see the available tags.  If the question is locked, it would need to be temporarily unlocked to added the tag if this option is used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add the spelled out tags as answers.&lt;/strong&gt;  Each spelled out tag could be added as an answer.  The spelled-out use would be a bold heading in the answer.  The answer could contain the wiki for that tag.  The presence of answers overcomes one of the automatic deletion criteria.  If the question is locked, it would need to be temporarily unlocked to add the answer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.890" LastActivityDate="2016-08-29T19:17:26.747" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If 90% of the questions tagged &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/gnu&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;gnu&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;gnu&lt;/a&gt; actually refer to some other meaning, the false alarms will quickly make the tag useless as a context tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So a tag needs to have a single, unambiguous meaning.  Just a well-defined wiki excerpt isn't adequate because many users don't bother to read it.  The tag name also needs to be unambiguous.  This suggests eliminating the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/gnu&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;gnu&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;gnu&lt;/a&gt; tag and replacing it with a tag for each purpose.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My suggestions&lt;/strong&gt;, with the rough wiki excerpt:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/gnu-hurd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;gnu-hurd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;gnu-hurd&lt;/a&gt; Use for questions specifically about the GNU kernel (Hurd), or GNU operating system components (including their usage in a Linux distro).  See the full wiki for guidance on appropriate tags for other uses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/gnu-differentiation&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;gnu-differentiation&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;gnu-differentiation&lt;/a&gt; (need a better tag name but I haven't thought of one, yet; ideas?)  Use as a supplemental tag to differentiate questions relating to GNU Project software that differs from the POSIX standard or their BSD equivalents.  See the full wiki for guidance on appropriate tags for other uses.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/gnu-project-apps&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;gnu-project-apps&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;gnu-project-apps&lt;/a&gt; For purposes that don't involve differentiating characteristics that make GNU programs different, this is classic manufacturer meta tag usage.  Knowing that a program was developed by the GNU Project doesn't provide useful information for any specific program (and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GNU_packages&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;list is extensive&lt;/a&gt;).  So the guidance should be something like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do not use this tag.  For questions pertaining to a specific program from the GNU Project, use a dedicated product tag if it exists, or use a generic tag that refers to the program's function.

There are several reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The registry&quot; isn't some mythical beast, and any changes there are really no more dangerous than changing arbitrary (system?) files on any mainstream OS. Are we really going to add a warning to every answer? That's rather extreme.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many areas that have nothing to do with the system itself - e.g. programs like PuTTY will store user configs there, where it's really indistinguishable from editing (and messing up) configs in any other format.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is the potential issue of users &lt;em&gt;not knowing&lt;/em&gt; this and just assuming registry changes are always safe... this is one point in favour of having a warning. &quot;System32&quot; invokes more wariness than &quot;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&quot;, I suppose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conventional &quot;backup&quot; method people seem to use is exporting certain keys to import them again later. This is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a reliable backup, and will fail to revert many cases of damage - especially those that may cause failure to boot. The correct backup method is rather more involved (backing up the actual registry hive files, which have special ACLs and are hard to access) and is really a subcase of having a proper backup of the entire system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a more concrete example: the export functionality does not create a &lt;code&gt;.reg&lt;/code&gt; that will delete/clear existing keys.

Worse, the import can fail after a successful export if any keys are read-only. I've had this happen.

The wiki excerpt has never been adequate to prevent misuse.

As a result, it remains in the tag list, people see it or it's suggested when they start to type, and the tag gets reused.  Each time it's resurrected, the tag summary shows the 1 question and something like 22 followers, which suggests it isn't a new tag.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to drive a stake through its heart or something?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;bwDraco has suggested blacklisting the tag.

Whether or not a question is clear, whether or not an answer is accepted, and whether or not the OP tries to expand the question in follow-up comments should be considered as three completely separate things.  I'll talk about these in reverse order.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expanding the question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, follow-on questions indicate that the original question didn't accurately describe what the OP was trying to ask.  Sometimes people view the site like a forum, where the question is the &quot;price of admission&quot; and then they can expand it in comments to ask every other question they ever had.  In the latter case, we need to educate the OP on how the site works and tell them to ask a new question, but the original question may be well answered. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Failure to accept an answer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Failure to accept an answer is a separate problem that occurs widely, irrespective of question expansion or question clarity.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Acceptance only signifies what the OP found most helpful.  New users sometimes accept answers for the wrong reasons, so it may not even mean that.  It doesn't necessarily mean that the accepted answer is the best one for someone else.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Accepting an answer can indicate the intended meaning of an ambiguous question, but that isn't the purpose or meaning of acceptance, and the issues should be viewed separately.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unclear question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The site is a knowledge base with the purpose of sharing solutions with other people experiencing similar problems.  If the OP solves their problem, that's great.  But if the knowledge can't be easily used by others, it doesn't contribute value to the site.  So if a question is useless to anyone but the OP, it should probably be closed even if the OP has accepted an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Accepting an answer can shed light on the intended meaning of the question, but the answer isn't part of the question.  The question should stand on its own to be useful to other readers.  It should not be allowed to remain unclear just because an answer was accepted.  The question should be edited to clarify it based on the accepted answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clear question, lots of activity, no accepted answer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, a question can be clear and have one or more answers, but the answers may be the problem.  Answers aren't necessarily good answers, or they may be filled with correct information but not address what was asked.  There can also be &quot;group think&quot;, where the first answerer misinterprets the question or posts a solution that biases the thinking of later answerers.

You didn't have the ability to comment before it was deleted and you still didn't have that ability after. You need to earn rep on each site before you can comment on questions and answers on that site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have the ability to contact users via on-site methods, but this is reserved for &lt;em&gt;serious&lt;/em&gt; issues like spamming, plagiarism, being abusive and other more disruptive problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you got no response from raising a flag then asking a question here on meta would be the next thing to do, or you could have asked a question in our &lt;a href=&quot;http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/114/ask-a-super-user-moderator&quot;&gt;Ask a Moderator&lt;/a&gt; chat room if you wanted a more casual discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In all honesty your is of questionable quality as you still don't actually post anything that solves the problem. You get halfway to a solution with &quot;a trick&quot; which, while you describe it, you do not actually state how to &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; it and is hidden amongst a lot of rehashing of the question, making it difficult to pick out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In essence the only useful line in your answer is&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Do an assignment of a text string to an inactive variable.

My guess from the context is that aria2 is the project and aria2c is the executable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The proposed wiki edits that raised the question were an attempt to copy the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/aria2&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;aria2&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;aria2&lt;/a&gt; wiki and excerpt content to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/aria2c&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;aria2c&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;aria2c&lt;/a&gt; tag.

The bottom line is that edge cases are determined by the community.  If enough people think it's off-topic to vote it closed, and not enough people then think it's on-topic to reopen it, that means it's off-topic.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I would look at it like this: the site is centered on computers.  If the question is about computers or computer software, those are on topic.  If it's about connecting things to computers, or about common computer peripherals, it's on topic; that's all about the things that make up the equipment complement for doing the work on the computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The grey area starts when you introduce off-topic platforms.  Phones are off-topic, but we stretch the on-topic boundary if the question is about interfacing it with a computer, because the computer is involved.  So things like syncing content, or using the phone as part of the communications link in which the computer plays a role, are usually on-topic.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But even there, if the issue is central to the phone, like trying to get an Android app working in order to facilitate the process involving the computer, that's probably better solved on the Android site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the printer is &quot;once-removed&quot; from the site's central topic, but it's allowed because of its role in using the computer.  The phone is off-topic unless the question is central to, or directly involves, the computer.  If the question's focus is getting a phone to work with a printer, the computer isn't involved at all.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in this case, if the problem that needs to be solved is in the phone, I'd say that's off-topic.  If the problem is in the printer, there are two possible cases.  If the issue is something that is unique to connecting with a phone, it would be off-topic.  If the issue is something generic that also applies to connecting it with a computer, then maybe.  So take that case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If solving that problem requires doing things, i.e., diagnostics or settings, on the phone, then solving the problem is off-topic.  If the problem can be replicated on the computer and solved using the computer, or done entirely within the printer, an argument could be made for it being on-topic.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But in that case, it would probably be better to leave the phone out of the question.  If the phone is relevant and important to the solution, and the computer is not, I'd consider it off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I just reread your question and answer.  It turns out that the solution was in the printer, but the problem you experienced was getting the phone to see the network printer.  I'm no expert on the Android site, but it just seems like that problem would be on-topic there.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the actual underlying problem is probably on-topic here, just tough to ask in a clearly on-topic way unless you had discovered it while trying to connect an on-topic platform. I did some wordsmithing on your question to better focus it; make it less off-topic and set it up for your answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2016-11-26T03:18:35.740" LastActivityDate="2016-11-26T03:18:35.740" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If not, deletion and optional comments to let the OP know is a tool for encouraging more substancial improvements. If I'm commenting multiple times with no response, well, clearly the OP dosen't see the need to make his question more awesome. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Links don't make answers. I've pointed out many times in the past, and have deleted many answers that were purely links with very similar messages.

As the user with the highest rep on the site, that makes your posts somewhat of an implied standard.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People look at your posts and expect to say, &quot;I see why this guy is at the top.&quot;  And in that position, new users should not be using one of your posts as an excuse that their low-quality post was just like what the highest-rated user posted.  Unfortunately, when you're a rock star, you live under a microscope, and you have more influence than a typical &quot;private&quot; citizen.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fact is, many of your answer are exemplary and the vast majority of them are at least good, solid answers.  Occasionally, though, like this answer, you just phone it in.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bounty questions aren't inherently special, but readers have an expectation that if people are competing for a bounty, they will put in a little extra effort to earn it.  Bounty threads are in a spotlight and get a lot more scrutiny, and answers tend to be held to a higher standard.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So when the highest-rated user posts comment-fodder on a bounty question, it isn't surprising that the answer would get noticed and treated with more definitive attention than a random post by a random user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Was the action excessive?  Not every post of that quality by any user will be noticed, and if it is, it wouldn't necessarily be deleted.  But being in the spotlight of a bounty, the treatment is also in the spotlight.  Deletion was within the bounds of prescribed action, and your posts shouldn't appear to be subject to special, kid-glove treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying that it was, or might have been, treated more harshly.  Rather the opposite.  Site quality standards should apply based on the post, not the author.  A bounty post is highly visible.  To ignore a quality issue on such a post would have the appearance of special treatment for high-rep users.  So it was appropriate and fair for a moderator to take some form of action on the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Was the action overboard (&quot;reverse discrimination&quot;)?  That's largely in the eye of the beholder.  But when you're in a position of increased attention and scrutiny, avoid putting the moderator in a position where that question is raised.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All that said, the answer is now a good one and warrants undeletion.  As far as the bounty, I'm not clear on the timing in this case, or the potential for a bounty to be retroactively fixed.  Frankly, it would bother me to have a bounty awarded for the original post on a technicality if that's what was there at the time.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the answer was improved to its current form during the bounty period but not undeleted in time for the bounty, responsibility for that seems to rest largely with you for posting the original version, the timeliness of improvement, and failure to flag the revision for undeletion as stipulated.

At the time the question was asked, we hadn't settled on that rule. Nobody can fault you for violating a rule that didn't exist.

Relevant: &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/3515/380318&quot;&gt;Since when are software recommendations off-topic?&lt;/a&gt; So we went back and cleaned up lots of these questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you said, though, plenty of software rec questions can be trivially rephrased from &quot;what software does X?&quot; to &quot;how do I do X?&quot;.

Some questions are about the lookup and some are about dealing with the PTR records, themselves, not necessarily using them to perform a lookup.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But the two are closely related and it seems like it would be beneficial to associate them in some way to facilitate tagging questions and minimize slop and duplication.

I'm not referring to ones where a novice needs some basics and the solution is straightforward.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Users will post what looks like a good answer, reflecting a significant time investment to figure out the solution and write it up.  Often, the solution is obtuse, or long and complex, not something you can glance at and recognize that it will obviously work.  The author may include explanations of how and why the components of the formulas should work.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Problem&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But people sometimes don't bother to actually test it, or fully test it against the range of conditions in the question.  Even if they test it, they don't go the last mile to include a demonstration of the results, like a screenshot of the output, so there's no way to know the extent of any testing.  In some cases, the sample output could also add value by showing exactly what the results will look like, which can make it easier to understand the formulas.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without that, I can't tell if it's correct without investing the time to recreate the spreadsheet.  Sometimes just dissecting the formulas can miss the same error as the author did on something untested that looks superficially like it should probably work.  There have been countless times where somebody has posted a solution that looked great, then the OP or another reader commented that it didn't work, or the author returned later and changed it because they discovered that it didn't work. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ramifications&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I don't like to upvote the answer if I don't know that it actually works.  If I happen to catch it later, and the OP has accepted it or commented that it worked, I can take that as evidence.  But at least for me, a lot of contributors are leaving easy upvotes on the table by not &quot;finishing&quot; the answer.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose I could leave a comment.

Actually, the answer to that question becomes more like a long &lt;code&gt;switch&lt;/code&gt; statement (in a language such as C or Java), where the condition for each case is quite complex (and, indeed, overlapping; have fun with that!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the risk of oversimplifying, we have the following technology sites that are potentially relevant to users of EC2 / AWS in general:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Super User: A fairly decent &quot;catch-all&quot; for help using &lt;em&gt;applications&lt;/em&gt; (they don't necessarily have to be GUI applications; we cover all sorts of console apps, bootloaders, etc.), as well as the &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; &quot;Windows.SE&quot; (for lack of an &lt;em&gt;actual&lt;/em&gt; windows.stackexchange.com). So, if you run Windows in the cloud (on EC2, Azure or anywhere else), and you have a problem with, say, Windows Update, a registry setting, or your Active Directory domain, you can of course ask those questions on Super User. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Server Fault: A lot of questions &lt;em&gt;specifically&lt;/em&gt; pertaining to sysadmin tasks that are &lt;em&gt;completely&lt;/em&gt; outside the domain of &quot;regular users&quot; are certainly on-topic on Server Fault, and in many cases the fact that your system is an EC2 instance on Amazon doesn't &lt;em&gt;matter&lt;/em&gt;. Whether you're trying to add high availability to a Jenkins cluster or expose a block device over the network using iSCSI, many tasks &lt;em&gt;that EC2 users might need to perform&lt;/em&gt; (or AWS users in general) could be covered by Server Fault. &lt;strong&gt;This is also the site where you'd probably want to ask most questions pertaining to the AWS services themselves, like Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3, Glacier, etc.&lt;/strong&gt; although a fair number of questions along those lines would get answered on Super User as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ask Ubuntu: Obviously, if you run Ubuntu on an EC2 instance, any questions pertaining to software on Ubuntu (especially the main packages, but also any peculiarities about how Ubuntu works vs. other distros when trying to run third-party software) would be on-topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unix.SE: If you're using some flavor of Linux or another UNIX like SmartOS, Solaris or a BSD, and you just &lt;em&gt;happen&lt;/em&gt; to be hosted on EC2, and run into some question about an application or configuration setting, it's perfectly fine to ask it on Unix.SE (even if it's about Ubuntu!)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Stack Overflow: If you're writing code to interface with Amazon's APIs to automate tasks involving AWS (for example, code to send email with the Simple Email Service (SES)), you'd want to get programming help from Stack Overflow, and this would be on-topic there significantly more than the other sites listed thus far. Super User &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; tolerate it too.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Web Apps.SE: Really the only scenario where you might pose a &lt;em&gt;topical&lt;/em&gt; question about AWS on Web Apps.SE would be if you have a question about &lt;em&gt;using&lt;/em&gt; the (admittedly somewhat complicated) AWS Management Console. This is very much an &quot;end-user&quot; application, in that, the workflow involves putting in your login/password, then clicking through a bunch of links and buttons, entering data, etc. The format of these questions would be no different than a question about gmail's interface.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is that users are generally not clueful enough to really understand where their question belongs. The user is working on a problem that is related to something they're trying to &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; with a complicated stack of software, usually something crazy like Hazelcast with jHipster on Tomcat on Ubuntu on EC2.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When they think about all the technologies involved, it's fairly likely that they will randomly pick one of the technologies in the stack and try to &quot;blame&quot; that, or just blame the thing they're most unfamiliar with (the &quot;gut feeling&quot; approach). From there, they'll attempt to discern which site on SE is topical for that &quot;thing&quot;. If they then decide to blame EC2 for their Hazelcast configuration problem, they'll try and ask it on a site that seems like it might accept EC2 questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can certainly update the tag wiki, but our tag wikis get so few views to begin with that I doubt very many people will benefit from it. The underlying problem is going to remain for a long time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sadly, I don't think you'll &lt;em&gt;stop&lt;/em&gt; getting off-topic EC2/AWS questions on Web Apps (yes, even ones migrated there from Super User by 10k users who don't understand the question) any time soon, even with a comprehensive tag wiki update.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem of &lt;em&gt;knowing what information is relevant to the question and what information is orthogonal&lt;/em&gt; is extremely hard, and only a small subset of users are good at slicing and dicing things that way. (Problems that cross-cut the entire stack are relatively rare, in my experience, but they do occasionally happen.) Unfortunately, AWS adds another technological layer of complexity to an already complicated field of software dependencies used by many applications, so this problem is only going to get worse over time as other services start to layer themselves on top of existing AWS services. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's not going to get any easier to classify these things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2016-12-23T09:16:11.173" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The rest is just noise. If you ask a question on a site where the topic of that site is part of the &quot;noise&quot;, you're not going to get very good answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How do I peel an apple without removing too much of the meat?

There are a bunch of problems with this that cross-cut the very structure of how Stack Exchange works:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is deleted, where does it get deleted?

If it's the same ID, how do you avoid conflicts across sites?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is upvoted/downvoted, which site's user gets the reputation change?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More importantly however, &lt;strong&gt;why bother having different SE sites if you're going to add a feature like this?&lt;/strong&gt; Why not just have one gigantic stackoverflow for &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; technology-related questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com&quot;&gt;we already tried that&lt;/a&gt;. You don't even need to wonder what the world would be like if you merged all the SE sites into one, because Stack Overflow is so popular that its user community &lt;em&gt;already does that&lt;/em&gt;. And there are so many millions of off-topic questions that the users who attempt to improve the site do not have the time and attention span to go through and close all the off-topic and duplicate questions. You can visit Stack Overflow today and see what the &quot;IT soup&quot; site looks like.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, you can probably get away with asking just about any technology-related question on Stack Overflow and, more often than not, it won't ever be closed. That's because SO receives so many questions, and so few users are interested in cleaning up the site, that they can't ever hope to turn back the tide of questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So instead of asking for a feature that would make the rest of Stack Exchange just as muddled and crowded with off-topic questions as Stack Overflow, why not just analyze your question a little bit more before you ask it so you &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; which site to ask it on?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-17T08:59:44.773" LastActivityDate="2017-01-04T16:28:42.353" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I would link to the deleted question for attribution, but I would not credit the user by name, since apparently they no longer want to be associated with it. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/189224/295684&quot;&gt;Relevant MSE.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="380318" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:23.890" LastActivityDate="2017-01-11T16:03:17.507" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't know the reason for the OP deleting this particular question.  Maybe this specific example is a benign case and there are no real issues with undeleting it.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These Meta discussions tend to become precedent, so while this might be a special case, it is a terrible precedent.  As a matter of general practice, I think the approach taken here is absolutely wrong and inappropriate, and violates the trust that users place in the site to be able to control their own posts within the site's guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who &quot;owns&quot; the posts?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ramhound states in a comment basically that all posts become community property as soon as they are submitted.  The community does have certain interests in questions from the time of submission, and that grows when answers become attached.  But it isn't unlimited community control from the moment of submission.  The site has guidelines on when questions cannot be deleted, at least by regular methods.  That cuts both ways.  The guidelines also mean that questions &lt;strong&gt;CAN&lt;/strong&gt; be deleted when those conditions are not met, and users post here expecting the guidelines to be honored.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rules similarly apply to edits.  On answers, we allow very limited edits that don't substantively change anything.  Questions tend to get far greater overhauls if needed in order to meet site standards.  However, if the OP disagrees with a question edit and feels it substantively changes what they're asking, they are not obligated to accept it just because the community thinks the change makes a better question.  The question may get closed as a result, or the OP could choose to delete it if the action is allowed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The point is that the community doesn't have total rights to do anything on any post immediately upon its submission.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why was a post deleted by the OP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have cases, especially with new users, where they get frustrated trying to comply with site guidelines.  They go back and forth with other members tweaking the question, unsuccessfully, and finally just throw up their hands and abandon or delete the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At that point, does the community own the question, and members are free to edit it at will to turn it into an acceptable question?  This is a case where the OP may not care, or may even benefit and be thankful for the effort after the fact.  But that heavy-handed approach is something we get away with, not something that is appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It may seem clear that the only reason the OP deleted the question was out of frustration.  But there are many other reasons why an OP might delete a question.  Just a few examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;They could have a face-palm moment and think the question was a stupid one.  They are embarrassed at having asked it or feel that its continued presence could call their technical reputation into question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;They could be choosing to post under a username that is not their real name in order to remain anonymous for reasons important to them.  They could realize that something unique in the question would be recognizable by colleagues and would out their identity and their past posts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;They could realize that they inadvertently included information that is confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not for public consumption.  If that's actually the case, it could cost them their job.  But it doesn't have to actually be sensitive to cause the OP distress if they think it is. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The point is that we may not know why, or all of the reasons why, the OP deleted the question.  When it is their right to do so under the site guidelines, it isn't other people's place to undelete it against the OP's wishes, particularly with the OP's username still attached, and particularly with any content intact that may have been the reason for the deletion (and we may not recognize what the OP believed was problematic).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if the question was deleted purely out of frustration, undeleting it has implications for the OP.  They may want nothing more to do with the post.  Undeleting it means they have to deal with the content, respond to requests for clarification, they might be expected to weigh in on answers (failing to accept any worthy answer can affect the perception of them by other users, and could affect other people's willingness to answer their future questions), etc.  These don't even have to be real concerns; they could just be concerns or expectations of the OP that we burden them with by undeleting the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Undeleting against the expressed wishes of the OP violates site guidelines and norms.  Undeleting without the knowledge and consent of the OP isn't really different.  I mentioned some of the ways the OP can be affected.  It puts the onus on them to pursue disassociation, if they are even aware that it can be done, after they have already spoken as to their intent.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If undeletion is done without the OP's involvement, the problems can be compounded by timing.  It may eventually be re-deleted or disassociated, but we don't necessarily know when the OP will become aware of the undeletion.  They have no reason to be expecting it, and posted with the correct expectation that it was their right to delete it.  In the meantime, the problems for the OP, real or imagined, go on. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Appropriate approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I have serious issues with:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;simply undeleting it against the OP's wishes or without their knowledge and consent&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;doing so with their username still attached&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;leaving their content in place&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;doing the above and then locking it here with upvotes  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we think the question should be undeleted, a completely different approach is appropriate.  Have a dialog with the OP and request that they undelete it, possibly with modifications.  If they aren't interested or don't respond in, say, a few days, start a new thread and leave them out of it.  Post a brand new question that covers the issue without using any of the original information, and post answers there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2017-01-11T20:03:52.760" LastActivityDate="2017-01-11T20:03:52.760" CommentCount="11" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Where they didn't, they still have large &lt;em&gt;self sustaining&lt;/em&gt; communities capable of answering questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lets start with 2/3rd of the trilogy - Serverfault and Superuser. Superuser's all about the 'pet systems' individual systems, stuff you run at home. I prefer serverfault for 'big picture' things - infrastructure, servers and such. Something like &lt;a href=&quot;https://serverfault.com/questions/791974/is-there-a-best-placement-of-hot-hardware-in-a-rack-to-maximize-convection-cooli/791976#791976&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; belongs on SF as does anything about &lt;em&gt;running&lt;/em&gt; IT and services.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Askubuntu is a Q&amp;amp;A site &lt;em&gt;officially&lt;/em&gt; supported by Ubuntu, and was an early and rather successful experiment that didn't &lt;em&gt;quite&lt;/em&gt; get repeated. It has its own vibrant community and serves the wider ubuntu community pretty well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;U&amp;amp;L is interesting. It &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; fit quite neatly into the scope SU and SF have but in many cases &lt;em&gt;the community&lt;/em&gt; there's really good at &lt;em&gt;very difficult&lt;/em&gt; problems. SU's pretty broad, and sometimes you need &lt;em&gt;depth&lt;/em&gt;. You're going to have to exercise the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/11/the-pee-wee-herman-rule/&quot;&gt;peewee herman rule&lt;/a&gt; in deciding where to go.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've never been to ask different, but at the very least, while they intersect with our scope, they cover things outside ours (like iphones and apple watches) that arn't served elsewhere and probably have the same sort of depth in their subject matter U&amp;amp;L would have&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd like to address a few statements made in the question specifically.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some of those sites don't get a lot of traffic&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and have many unanswered questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once again, needs context. Not all questions are trivially answerable. I suspect I'd have better luck with some of my questions on U&amp;amp;L than the much bigger superuser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SO has &lt;em&gt;3,671,063&lt;/em&gt; to 108,223, though it would probably be fairer to look at the proportion to our total number of questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Luckily, there's actually a scoreboard of this &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackexchange.com/sites#&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; - SO has 72%, Askubuntu has 66% we have 68%, as does ask different and U&amp;amp;L has &lt;em&gt;77%&lt;/em&gt;.

We cover hardware to an extent (which U&amp;amp;L and the others don't). While &lt;em&gt;historically&lt;/em&gt; we've had a single, monolitihic site for programming, it does not necessarily mean that model works everywhere. As someone who generally dosen't code, but has spent time in other parts of the IT industry, there's so much more to computers than coding.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, while I don't speak for Stack Exchange as a company - its unlikely to happen.

The official names of the OS that contain &quot;mac&quot; have all been recognizable by capitalization and/or spacing: Mac OS, Mac OS X, macOS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Both capitalization and spacing are lost in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macos&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macos&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macos&lt;/a&gt; tag.  I keep misreading it as &quot;macros&quot;.  I just spent several minutes unsuccessfully trying to add what I thought was a missing OS tag on a question.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; has been synonomized, but the system wouldn't add it because &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macos&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macos&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macos&lt;/a&gt; was already there and I was misreading it as &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macros&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macros&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macros&lt;/a&gt; (which was also relevant to the question).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A tag label doesn't need to be the official name, especially when there have been a lot of similar official names.  It can be an easily understandable placeholder label.  Since macOS has gone through so many name changes, people still think of it with various terms.  I'd like to suggest renaming the primary tag with a less mistakable label.  A few suggestions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-os&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-os&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-os&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macos-osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macos-osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macos-osx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course the wiki excerpt can clarify that the tag applies to any name version of the OS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that people would not be expected to enter the full tag text of either suggestion.  In the second case, typing either of the familiar &quot;macos&quot; or &quot;osx&quot; would display the tag because each is a fragment.  The first suggestion would have the existing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macos&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macos&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macos&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt; synonomized, so typing the familiar tag name would produce the displayed tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would be useful for people to weigh in on what the tag text should be.  My own thoughts are that while the addition of &quot;osx&quot; will add useful context, any version containing &quot;macos&quot; will be prone to misreading.  So &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-os&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-os&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-os&lt;/a&gt; would be the least mistakable.  It would refer generically to any Mac operating system rather than a specific OS name.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: Just remembered that &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-os&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-os&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-os&lt;/a&gt; is an existing tag, which originally referred to the then-current OS name.  Suggestion: Use that tag as the primary to generically represent the various Mac OSes, and resysnonomize the other tags to it (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/osx&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;osx&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;osx&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/mac-os-x&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;mac-os-x&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;mac-os-x&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/macos&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;macos&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;macos&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2017-01-21T18:56:12.097" LastActivityDate="2017-01-21T18:56:12.097" Title="Rename macos tag?"

Slice off anywhere from +50 to +500 of your own hard-earned&#xA;  reputation, and attach it to any question as a bounty. You do not need&#xA;  to be the asker of the question to offer a bounty on it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All bounties are paid for up front and non-refundable under any circumstances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;If your new reputation brings you below the requirement for any privileges, you will lose access to those privileges.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Users may only have three active bounties at any given time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Questions may only have one active question bounty at any given time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;To avoid overly promotional bounties, if you are offering a bounty on a question that you have already posted an answer to, your minimum&#xA;  spend is 100 reputation (not 50).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Additionally, if you offer multiple bounties on the same question, the minimum spend doubles with each subsequent bounty (50 reputation&#xA;  on the first bounty, 100 reputation on the second, 200 on the third,&#xA;  and so on).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You may not cancel a bounty once it has been started.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The system attempted to educated you on exactly how the bounty system worked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/bounty&quot;&gt;Help Center &gt; Reputation &amp;amp; Moderation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;it's like spending money for nobody's benefit, and without getting any&#xA;  service we paid for!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You are not buying an answer to your question, the bounty is for the placement of your question, in the list &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/?tab=featured&quot;&gt;featured questions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What happens when I start a bounty?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The bountied question will appear with a special indicator in all&#xA;  question lists, and it will also be visible on the homepage Featured&#xA;  tab for 7 days. Part of what you’re “paying for” with the bounty is to&#xA;  get additional attention for your question, over and beyond what a&#xA;  normal question gets. In that regard, a bounty does not guarantee a&#xA;  response, and reputation refunds are not available if no answers are&#xA;  received as a result of the bounty.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/bounty&quot;&gt;Help Center &gt; Reputation &amp;amp; Moderation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Which seems pretty hard and not really fair&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am sure you have realized by now that life isn't always fair.

No one's had a chance to look at them yet, except for the ones that get bumped to the frontpage because they've been edited or answered recently.

Less-experienced users of the site tend not to invest the time into their question that would be necessary to make it useful for other users after they solve their particular problem, by fleshing out the question with details of their environment; things they've tried; exact error messages; symptoms and the reasons they think those symptoms lead to particular diagnoses; and so on.

Those are also about circumventing the terms of use associated with the product or service.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why does differentiating a civil contract from criminal law make a difference?  It's intellectual property.  Apple made the investment to develop it, and they can apply any terms they want to its use.  If you choose to use it, that use is subject to whatever terms Apple wants unless or until a court rules that they don't have that right.  You don't buy and own the OS; it isn't yours to do whatever you want with.  You purchase a right to use it according to some terms.  If you don't like the terms, don't buy it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are legal concepts of fair use and of limitations on restrictions a &quot;monopoly&quot; might try to apply unilaterally in a EULA.  Those are arguments that can be used in court if a EULA is litigated.  The existence of the concepts doesn't mean that all EULAs are meaningless until a court rules that one is legitimate.  It's the opposite.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Previous use of terms like &quot;illegal&quot; was unfortunate, because the issue isn't about whether Hackintosh is a criminal matter.  &quot;Gray area&quot; has also been misapplied.  There's no reason to get side-tracked in a discussion of legal nuances.  That fact that you can find places on the planet where the EULA isn't enforceable isn't relevant, either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It isn't our job to know and enforce the TOS for every company and product.  But that doesn't mean that the site should actively promote anarchy and the flaunting of any TOS.  Where the TOS are well known, we should not knowingly promote, sanction, or facilitate cheating or piracy.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By &quot;well known&quot;, I don't mean there should be a threshold of &quot;well-knownness&quot; that determines whether or not we enforce a EULA.  If and when we are aware that a question seeks to violate a EULA or TOS, we don't facilitate that.  On little-known products or companies, stuff will slip through.  We get a large number of Hackintosh questions, enough to put the subject in a league of its own, the EULA is clear, we are well aware of it, and there is nothing wrong with covering that in a policy since it comes up so often.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The underlying objective is not to enforce EULAs, or to be uniform and fair in which EULAs we enforce.  The objective is to not facilitate piracy or cheating on intellectual property rights when we are aware of it and it is easy for us to refrain from doing that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2017-01-28T00:04:54.573" LastActivityDate="2017-01-28T00:04:54.573" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

People are so afraid of editing someone else's answer, as if it were their &quot;intellectual property&quot;, and accidentally &quot;stepping on their toes&quot;, that they avoid it and rather post their own answer to &lt;em&gt;add to the clutter&lt;/em&gt; instead of helping one answer be the best answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Answers on SE are Creative Commons licensed for a very good reason, folks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And if you think that people conscientiously go back to edit their answers to make the most upvoted / accepted answer better so that users don't have to scroll down pages and pages of answers to get to the best one, that's an extremely optimistic point of view. Maybe you think that &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; always do that (maybe you always, in fact, &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt;) -- but I can't tell you how many times I've found wrong, incomplete or less-than-ideal answers with a considerable number of upvotes and the accepted answer. In a few instances, the objectively best answer gets voted to the top, but that doesn't always happen, either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm a big proponent of &quot;just edit it&quot; (and, necessarily, &quot;just approve it&quot; if you're a reviewer), working under the assumption that the edit improves the answer without introducing opinion. BTW, I think it's perfectly fine if an answer gives an opinion, and then an edit is made that provides objective evidence &lt;em&gt;supporting&lt;/em&gt; the OP's opinion. It's only bad form if an edit to an answer changes the meaning of the OP's opinion, or reverses it entirely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But a lot of people seem to be under the impression that, just because answers have the OP's gravatar/profile link next to them, they are some kind of an indelible &quot;forum post&quot; that no one but the OP should be able to edit, even &lt;em&gt;helpfully&lt;/em&gt;. Both editors and reviewers often seem to have this opinion, and thus, the edits never even get submitted in the first place, or if they do, they get rejected, like yours.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a real shame, because it makes SE sites much less accessible and increases the frustration and difficulty of finding good answers. It's only &lt;em&gt;somewhat&lt;/em&gt; better than a phpBB forum, because the voting mechanic does tend to (often, but not always) push the most useful answer to the top. But it could be really great if a well-written answer with a typo or an invalid command gets &lt;em&gt;corrected&lt;/em&gt;, instead of making someone else &quot;compete&quot; with the original answerer for votes, which might take &lt;em&gt;years&lt;/em&gt; of Google searchers coming and upvoting it until it gets more votes than the incumbent - especially if software patches from a vendor have semi-recently broken the original answer's code but a simple edit could fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, as long as SE gives answerers the option (in terms of &lt;em&gt;policy&lt;/em&gt; permitting this attitude, not the &lt;em&gt;literal&lt;/em&gt; option on UI) to reject an edit on the grounds of &quot;No!

This question has stirred a lot of discussion, so I'll try to refocus this answer a little to better address the issue that's been raised.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;New vs. old questions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most questions get their answers soon after being posted.  That's the most useful timeframe for the OP and the period in which the question is most visible on the site and attracts the most attention.  It is often the timeframe in which the subject of the question is the most relevant.  Improving a new question can help to get it answered, so any edit that makes it better should be approved.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's nothing wrong with trying to improve an old question, but that leads far less often to new answers.  The main benefit to improving old questions is usually to make them a better resource and easier to find in searches.  As I'll describe below, there can be a &quot;price&quot; for bumping old questions in terms of reviewer time and reducing exposure for new posts.  So in deciding whether an edit to an old post is an improvement, there is an argument for considering whether it will accomplish something useful, like:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;helping to attract answers, or attracting better or more current answers&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;making the question clearer or easier to find if it is something people will be looking for and it could be a useful resource.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;General Philosophy&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before getting to the specific edit mentioned in the question, consider edits in general and the SE philosophy.  As Braiam's answer and comments cover, the SE philosophy is to, in general, approve any edit that makes a post better.  I have no argument applying that to new posts.  For old posts, we need to consider the definition of what constitutes improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At least for me, improvement relates to the utility of the question--does the change make the question a better resource, not does it improve compliance with English rules.  These aren't always the same.  Whether or not an edit improves a question's utility depends somewhat on the context of the question, itself.  Consider these two extreme examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;canonical question&lt;/strong&gt;.  This is a site standard that will be frequently referenced.  In this case, I would say that virtually any change that polishes it in any way is probably useful and benefits the site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;An example at the &lt;strong&gt;other extreme&lt;/strong&gt;: an ancient thread about a problem specific to one version of some long-obsolete software.  Nobody uses the software anymore, the problem was fixed in a subsequent release, none of which is currently available.  Maybe there's some historical value in case some hobbyist is dabbling with it.  It attracted several marginal answers that offer conflicting and mutually exclusive solutions, so even if someone is interested in the question, the thread isn't a good resource.  Even at the height of the question's currency, it attracted little general interest.  It has been harmlessly buried on the site for years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We could talk about potentially deleting it, but that's a different matter.  For this hypothetical example. maybe that would happen later, or maybe a decision is made to leave it alone.  But in this example, we have a new user who figured out that he can run a site search on a common misspelling or slang term to identify a bunch of easy edits.  This long-dead question was in the list and he has proposed an edit to fix that trivial issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I submit that nothing is likely to really improve a question like this in terms of its utility, perhaps with the exception Twisty points out in a comment that making it clearer that it is irrelevant might help readers ignore it faster.  But regardless of what might be possible with sufficient editing, a trivial or cosmetic change like described in this scenario will probably not provide any real benefit.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Worse, engaging in this kind of serial trivial edit proposals on old questions eats up the time reviewers have available.  If the edits are approved, they flood the main page, wasting readers' time and shortening exposure for new questions.  So there is a benefit to the site and to users in general to reject non-useful edits so as to not encourage them and to educate new editors on useful priorities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In between these two extremes, there is a continuum.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;One school of thought says what I described for the canonical question should apply to any post that is not at the extreme lower end (and maybe even those); the context of the question, itself, shouldn't influence whether an edit is an improvement.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The other school of thought is that &quot;improvement&quot; should be measured in terms of utility as a site resource rather than as mere compliance with English rules; context should be considered in assessing whether a change is an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Evaluating old questions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I look at edits in three &quot;classes&quot; of questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Canonical&lt;/strong&gt; and similar high-value, high-usage questions (and new questions): accept any edit that makes it better in any way.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Old, useful questions&lt;/strong&gt;: apply a little judgement to the above rule; generally reject trivial changes that don't really improve anything in a meaningful or useful way.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Old flotsam&lt;/strong&gt;: generally reject edits unless they make a substantive difference in the question's utility.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So how do you decide which category a question belongs in?  These are the kinds of indicators I look at:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How old is the question and when is the last time it had any activity?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that age is not a criterion, only an indicator in the sense that the older a question is, the more likely it is to have age-related factors that might make it currently irrelevant.  Old just means look closer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it still relevant (is the software or hardware still in use; are answers applicable to current versions if it is; etc.)?  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How useful was it when the question was fresh (votes, views, favorites, comments)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a question attracts little interest when it's fresh, it's rare to attract a lot more interest or usage when it's old.  But if the subject matter is still relevant, look at whether the reason it might have attracted little attention was due to problems that can be fixed with an edit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are the answers useful and consistent or did it attract a motley collection of low-quality or conflicting answers?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question is unlikely to attract new answers, and the existing ones aren't useful, what's the sense in making the question easier to find?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Evaluating the edit&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;To what extent could the question use improvement and how much of the obvious improvements does the edit accomplish?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question needs a lot of work but the edit fixes only one item of low-hanging fruit, the editor should be encouraged to do a more thorough job.  That encouragement, or lack thereof, will affect the quality of their future edits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does the edit improve the question's utility?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Might the edit attract new answers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does the edit make it a better resource if the information is &quot;timeless&quot;?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;The edit in question&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bringing this back to the edit mentioned in this Meta question, that question struck me as a very dated and localized issue with little current or general relevance. It was already answered and wouldn't benefit from bumping.  The edit made the title more precise, but I would argue that this &quot;improvement&quot; had negative utility in this case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider that the question was specific to the OP and the thread wouldn't generally be helpful to other users today.  The original title wasn't helpful for searches, which was maybe a good thing in this case.  The new title is more precise for the question, but still generic.  Now we have a bumped question with a current date and a title that could seem to apply to different, current issues.  So a currently irrelevant question that was previously buried, may now be wasting time for people who see an apparently current question and think it might be applicable to them.  Not every improvement is necessarily an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Example of title edit approved for old question&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To the question of whether a title-only edit on an old question is always bad: no.  Here's an example of another old post (6 yrs old), where I approved a title edit only: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/625545&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/625545&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question attracted 14 upvotes, 8 favorites, and almost 13K views.  There is an accepted answer that attracted 18 upvotes.  There has been recent activity.  The question could use a little polish, but has no issues that prevented it from being useful.  The title was awful, but the thread managed to be useful and attract a lot of readership despite it.  This thread is a resource that appears to still be relevant, and just a title edit made it more useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Bottom line&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a reason why users are required to reach a certain rep level before making unreviewed edits and reviewing other edits.  Reviewers are expected to exercise their own judgement on each proposed edit based on the standards and norms learned on the way to reaching that rep.  There are differences in philosophy and opinion on most matters.  That's why reviews, and voting on things like post status, are based on multiple users.  If there were simple, hard and fast rules that applied universally, that wouldn't be necessary; any single user reaching the rep threshold could determine compliance.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rather than automatically accepting every edit that doesn't appear to harm the post, or automatically rejecting every edit that doesn't attain some abstract objective, it's more important to consider the context of each post and the merits of each edit.  Then apply your judgement as to whether you think it is an improvement.

If the link later dies; it could be updated, or replaced with an archive.org link as appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if the link goes down (which I would guess is the hidden assumption behind the help centre advice above) and the information isn't needed for the answer; it's arguably superfluous. Tangential information may be better suited to a comment?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a grey area? A link to official documentation on &lt;em&gt;'widget-related matters'&lt;/em&gt; for an answer might seem more relevant and stable than a link to a forum post detailing how someone worked around some &lt;em&gt;'common widget problems'&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;So, how much should be added for a link on a related matter in a question/answer?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Context, quote and/or information?

Had the answer in question omitted the last sentence in favor of just pasting the two links in a bulleted list or something, that would be bizarre and less than ideal. Fortunately, that user answered the question and, anticipating a request for alternatives, provided a tip with a link to further information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the answer depends on the information from the linked page(s), a quote - or, better, a summary hitting the critical parts - is required. Saying &quot;see this link to do a workaround&quot; is invalid because the answer itself would contain no content. On the other hand, providing a link for further reading or a source after a complete answer is great. I personally do something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To frob the widget, spin the handle while you flip the switch. Note that on some models, you need the flip the switch once before starting to spin the handle. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://example.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Source.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Your widget can't be frobbed in this mode. The connector between the switch and the internals is disabled when the chain is retracted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Further reading: &lt;a href=&quot;http://example.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Chain diagrams&lt;/a&gt; on Widget Developer Network&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Including links to further information in the middle of a sentence is perfectly fine too, as the author of the answer in question did in their first sentence. It lets the reader get the critical information without interrupting the paragraph's flow &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; puts the link right on what it's related to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a link dies, it can be fixed if possible or removed. Remember, answers that become completely useless if their links die do not qualify as answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd say the decision on whether to include tangential possibly-helpful information/links in the answer is up to the author as long as it actually has something to do with the problem in question.

Our voting tendencies are deemed important enough that during past Super User moderator elections, scripts were created to help &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/1965/information-on-the-moderator-candidates&quot;&gt;focus attention on the up-vote/down-vote ratio&lt;/a&gt; as one of the more vital statistics that could aid us in evaluating the candidates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Our Super User Help Center &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/why-vote&quot;&gt;explains voting&lt;/a&gt; in the following manner:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Voting is central to our model of providing quality questions and answers; it is how …&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;...good content rises to the top&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;...incorrect content falls to the bottom&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;...users who consistently provide useful content accrue reputation and are granted more privileges on the site&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It’s only through voting that a class of editors, closers, and moderators can emerge to help run and govern the site. Voting is how site leadership forms.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Taking it a step further, the Help Center &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges/vote-up&quot;&gt;guidance for up-votes&lt;/a&gt; says the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When should I vote up?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Whenever you encounter a question, answer or comment that you feel is especially useful, vote it up!  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Conversely, the the Help Center &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges/vote-down&quot;&gt;advice regarding down-votes&lt;/a&gt; says the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When should I vote down?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Use your downvotes whenever you encounter an egregiously sloppy, no-effort-expended post, or an answer that is clearly and perhaps dangerously incorrect.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As we know, the up-vote privilege (available when the community member accumulates 15 reputation) is granted much sooner than the down-vote privilege (granted when the member has acquired 125 reputation). Notably, the Help Center emphasizes the following &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges/vote-down&quot;&gt;important point&lt;/a&gt;:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the alternatives to down-voting?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The up-vote privilege comes first because that's what you should focus on: pushing great content to the top. Down-voting should be reserved for extreme cases.

However, with all of the aforementioned Help Center guidance at the forefront of our minds, the following question arises:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the consensus opinion regarding community members who have amassed a negative up-vote/down-vote ratio during their Super User career: does that represent someone who is effectively mentoring the authors, or have they habitually become too harsh and critical?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="650163" LastActivityDate="2019-09-17T06:47:34.630" Title="Negative up-vote/down-vote ratio: is it effective mentoring, or too harsh?"

Essentially, their proactive nature helps them (along with our moderators) serve as the public face of the Super User community.  I wanted something that would be relatively comprehensive, and as a result I scrutinized the voting careers of the top 50 people in the Super User reputation league standings for calendar year 2016.  The resulting data was fascinating:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The average level of Super User experience among the 50 people on the list was 5.1 years&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;43 out of the 50 people on the list (86%) had a positive up-vote/down-vote ratio&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;All five Super User moderators who made the list had a positive up-vote/down-vote ratio&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The cumulative voting efforts of all 50 people resulted 116,497 up-votes and 75,346 down-votes, which is approximately a 1.5-to-1 positive ratio.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you remove the two people at the extreme far end of the scale (the one who cast the most up-votes along with the person who cast the most down-votes) from each side, the cumulative votes from the remaining 48 people revealed approximately a 2.3-to-1 positive ratio.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The median up-vote/down-vote ratio on the list was a 6-to-1 positive ratio.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From my perspective, everyone on that &quot;top 50&quot; list should be commended for the tremendous amount of time and effort they have devoted towards the Super User community. The statistics I cited seem to support the conclusion that as a whole, the group seems to personify the Super User community goals and principles.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, there are a small number of people on the list who have compiled approximately twice as many down-votes as up-votes, and some are actually much more strict than that. I'm sure that their actions were taken with the best of intentions, but yes, &lt;strong&gt;I think that the end result of their efforts is a bit too harsh&lt;/strong&gt;.  Having a critical eye for the greater good of the Super User community is certainly beneficial, but if we become so focused on that aspect of voting that we rarely think to reward notable efforts with an up-vote, it's probably a disservice to the people who &lt;em&gt;did&lt;/em&gt; author effective questions and answers. It can potentially discourage new and talented Super User community members from contributing even more in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once again, that passage from the Help Center stands out:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The up-vote privilege comes first because that's what you should focus on: pushing great content to the top.

They lack context on their own for a new user, and much like puppies, some other input is needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While comments are transient, in many cases &lt;em&gt;pairing&lt;/em&gt; them with downvotes (or adding downvotes after a comment) may be efficient. I try to use positive reinforcement here and often comment rather than downvote, though sometimes you need extra emphasis. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, the 'visible vote counts' do not show the whole story. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have &lt;em&gt;over 5400&lt;/em&gt; closevotes and roughly 9000+ deletions. Many of these questions would have been downvoted if I hadn't had the high reputation user/moderator powers I have. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example - more than one person would have downvoted properly terrible posts before deletion became an option. Downvotes on &lt;em&gt;deleted&lt;/em&gt; posts don't seem to be listed on your methodology. Even assuming these questions were so bad they deserved the downvotes, this would skew the numbers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And well. We use the tools we &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt;. Not everyone takes well to being mentored by comments. Some people just want answers. In many cases, looking at a post, the &lt;em&gt;payoff&lt;/em&gt; for mentoring dosen't feel good enough. I'm fine with polishing up posts - either directly or via comments. Sometimes though (and I'm not &lt;strike&gt;naming names&lt;/strike&gt; linking posts here) - the effort just doesn't seem &lt;em&gt;worth&lt;/em&gt; it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a bunch of link only answers (which the auto review queue comments should in theory handle) I come across. There's sometimes blatantly &lt;em&gt;harmful&lt;/em&gt; answers (which I nuke) and incorrect ones (which I comment on and downvote). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This assumes, of course, that downvotes are mainly against new users. &#xA; I've occationally had to remind high reputation users of &lt;em&gt;basic&lt;/em&gt; things, (and there, I shouldn't have to be mentoring them). People sometimes have off days. Etc Etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, without context, the numbers mean less than one would assume.

To load a&#xA;  COM file, the loader used to put the file into memory and started it&#xA;  at the first byte.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The COM file format had the problem that programs were limited to&#xA;  64KB. To manage that limitation the EXE format was introduced. The EXE&#xA;  file has a header that begins with the letters &quot;MZ&quot; and includes&#xA;  information that the loader uses to load the program into memory. COM&#xA;  files were &quot;raw memory images&quot; and EXE files were more &quot;structured&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Over time the original MS-DOS programs like FORMAT.COM, EDIT.COM and&#xA;  COMMAND.COM grew larger than 64KB and they had to be changed to EXE,&#xA;  but it meant a compatibility problem with a lot of software produced&#xA;  in the past. It was solved by giving the loader the flexibility to&#xA;  check if the file begins with &quot;MZ&quot;, independently of the extension, so&#xA;  as to know if it is a &quot;structured&quot; or &quot;raw&quot; file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So nowadays it doesn't matter what the extension is (COM or EXE)&#xA;  because the loader will recognize the header and will manage the file&#xA;  accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;answered Aug 11 '16 at 13:26&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/318069/jcbermu&quot;&gt;jcbermu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="257269" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:07.750" LastActivityDate="2017-03-01T05:39:01.320" Title="Is it proper (and userful for our users) to have deleted for plagiarism answer like this?"

But: Focus on providing self-contained data in your post; don't rely on external uploads entirely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a rule that is more strictly enforced on Stack Overflow, especially for some tags: &lt;strong&gt;every question should contain a minimum working example&lt;/strong&gt;. A &lt;a href=&quot;http://sscce.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example&lt;/a&gt;, to be precise. Now, I guess that on Super User, there are some cases in which the question is fairly easy to understand and doesn't need that, but let's assume we &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; need some data for understanding the problem and its context. This is often the case for spreadsheet questions, scripts, etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do you provide this data?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The simplest way to provide this kind of example is—like you say—adding a screenshot and a minimal data table. Maybe include some formulas as well, if they're required to understand your issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What we're really trying to achieve is making the Stack Exchange post self-contained. If that's impossible, perhaps you need to research a little more and get to the root of the issue first.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should you provide supplemental files?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have them, yes, you should! If it helps, there's no reason not to share this kind of material. Supplemental files could be spreadsheets, video files that don't play, some huge logs (well, there's PasteBin for that, but you get the idea), et cetera. You can use popular services like OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox to upload such files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the question shouldn't be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Here's an Excel file: &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;link&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; How do I do &lt;em&gt;XYZ&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I have an Excel file containing &lt;em&gt;data ABC&lt;/em&gt;. There is a formula that calculates &lt;em&gt;DEF&lt;/em&gt; from columns 1, 2, and 3. How do I do &lt;em&gt;XYZ&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What if the files go offline?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;External links are very prone to rot. We can't change that. You should therefore: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;make an effort to have your files be accessible for as long as possible, not just temporarily&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;write the question in such a way that it is understandable without that supplemental material, in case the link ever goes down&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What about documents containing malware?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is this really an issue? I think the benefits of adding files outweigh the risks of documents containing malware. Obvious spam or malicious posts are quickly identified as such anyway. And in the (very very few) cases I've seen where some documents were suspicious, the community was &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; quick to react to it, at least removing links or prepending them with a note.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="48078" LastActivityDate="2017-02-28T15:55:37.770" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I also think that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. If the web has the answer, and there's little that can be added to that answer, then don't try. Providing the source of the information, preferably with a link, cancels plagiarism. Even the Help Center recognizes that answers will need &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/referencing&quot;&gt;external material&lt;/a&gt;. It does say to only use what's needed and to use your own words. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OTOH, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/how-to-answer&quot;&gt;guidelines for good answers&lt;/a&gt; tells us not to provide links without context. The link could become unavailable, or even be deleted. So we need to include the relevant info from that source in the answer, so that the answer here can stand on it's own, if need be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The older a technology is, in this case decades, the more likely it is that what the web has will be as terse as possible already. That leaves very little room for people here to summarize that info. (How do you summarize the overview of a summary?) For the question at issue, the reply could have been &quot;An &lt;code&gt;EXE&lt;/code&gt; renamed to a &lt;code&gt;COM&lt;/code&gt; will not run in anything earlier than MS-DOS 2.11.&quot; Ok, I may have the wrong version of DOS, maybe it's 3.21, I don't remember. Nevertheless, that literally answers the original question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To provide more info, and make the answer worthwhile, the deleted answer here provided more background, gathered from the web, and reduced it reasonably. In the form presented here, the answer includes proper source citation. Comparing the answer here to the cited material I'd say a credible job of condensation was done. Maybe there could have been more background, maybe less was needed to answer the question. Some &quot;wiggle room&quot; needs to be there to avoid simple answers that &quot;work&quot; for the OP but do nothing to make SE better. I suppose the answer could have added other material, not found in the citation, such as the &quot;magic letters &lt;code&gt;MZ&lt;/code&gt; are for the creator of the concept, Mark Zbikowski,&quot; but that's probably too much trivia for the answer anyway. It was a good, non-plagiarized, answer, and would have gotten my up-vote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My opinion, flag it and get it back.

Doing that consistently is far more important than shooting for any up/downvote ratio. Fortunately, we also have plenty more upvotes going around than downvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's been some confusion regarding the statistics used in the question and its answers, so I'll take a moment to clear those up. In the bottom right of the &quot;summary&quot; subtab of a user's Activity tab, there is a Votes Cast section. Those counts &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; include votes on deleted posts; &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/124172/295684&quot;&gt;relevant MSE&lt;/a&gt;. On your own &quot;votes&quot; subtab, you &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt; see up/downvotes on deleted posts. (You can see closure and deletion votes on now-deleted posts.) The Data Explorer's &lt;code&gt;UpVotes&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;DownVotes&lt;/code&gt; columns in the &lt;code&gt;Users&lt;/code&gt; table are the same as the Votes Cast section. I'm not sure that there's a right way or wrong way to measure voting using these figures, but we should be clear about what we're counting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Voting statistics are inherently difficult to measure because of the necessary anonymity on who cast what, but let's look at some SEDE numbers just for fun. I made &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/revision/634055/793792/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this query&lt;/a&gt; to show some info on the most active voters. It includes the 50 users with the most votes who have been seen in the last month. The &lt;code&gt;UpPerDown&lt;/code&gt; column is the user's upvotes divided by the number of downvotes. It's not possible to get &quot;negative&quot; ratios here, since one cannot cast a negative number of votes. To get some visible symmetry between &quot;more downvotes&quot; and &quot;more upvotes,&quot; the &lt;code&gt;PositivityScore&lt;/code&gt; column is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm#Motivation_and_definition&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;logarithm&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;code&gt;UpPerDown&lt;/code&gt;. For example, someone who upvotes twice as often as they downvote gets a score of &lt;code&gt;ln 2&lt;/code&gt; = about 0.69, while someone who downvotes twice as often as they upvote gets a score of -0.69. Someone who votes up and down equally often gets zero. The &lt;code&gt;CommPerMaybeDv&lt;/code&gt; column is my attempt to measure mentoring, but since SEDE doesn't have a lot of info on deleted posts, and because votes are anonymous, there are so many pitfalls here that you shouldn't trust it too much. It's supposed to show the number of comments made by the user on posts they &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; have downvoted divided by their total downvotes, but again, there's not enough public information to be certain, and deletion continues to skew results. Think of it as an arbitrary mentoring score with a ton of noise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All data aside, I agree that it's a Good Thing to comment when downvoting. Forcing people to comment when downvoting has been requested many times, but there isn't a good way to make that work. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/66029/295684&quot;&gt;Relevant MSE&lt;/a&gt;, one of many.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Voting in both directions is very important, for multiple reasons. Besides rewarding/disciplining post authors, it also signals to future readers what is good and worth reading. A negative score is a much stronger signal in that way than a zero score. Comments with downvotes would help in that department (as warnings of suboptimal practices), but unfortunately, post authors frequently become very upset at commenters that they suspect cast downvotes. Several times, I have been accused of downvoting things I didn't because I tried to help the user. High-rep users who have been around a while and subjected to that a lot could be understandably weary of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For what it's worth, there are some very rare cases where commenting is actively undesirable. I once dealt with a user (on a different site) who repeatedly posted non-answers. Each time, I gently reminded him of the site's requirements, but he became increasingly upset. Eventually I realized that he would not listen, and when I removed his last post with no comment (and therefore no notification), he left of his own accord.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The system as it stands allows people to vote as they please, so long as the votes aren't targeted (e.g. revenge downvoting, sockpuppet upvoting). The site is so large that one voter with unusual preferences will on the whole be counteracted by another with the opposite patterns. Even someone who only downvotes but always leaves constructive explanatory comments can be an asset to the site. &quot;Mentoring&quot; has far more to do with consistently commenting on individual encounters than a person's ratio of vote types.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a user gets downvoted with no explanation, they do have one recourse: this place, meta. Generally, meta questions about specific posts get answered pretty quickly. They have the additional advantage of being far more accessible (and therefore useful to others) than comments under some post somewhere on main. I personally wish the existence and purpose of meta was made more obvious to new users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will be happy to know that, in general, there are far more upvotes in play than downvotes. &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/revision/635042/793772/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;This tiny query&lt;/a&gt; tells us that Super User has more than 10 times as many upvotes as downvotes (not counting votes from deleted users or the automatic downvotes on red-flagged posts, but counting votes on deleted posts). &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/revision/635073/793829/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;This other query&lt;/a&gt; counts the votes on non-deleted posts by new-ish users, those with less than 500 reputation. The upvote proportion is even more extreme here: almost 12x as many positive votes as negative ones. Of course, that doesn't include deleted posts, but it's still interesting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More relevant MSEs:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/42601/295684&quot;&gt;Should we have a policy about &quot;too much downvoting&quot;?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/63823/295684&quot;&gt;Should I be concerned about my upvote/downvote ratio?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/87695/295684&quot;&gt;Am I downvoting too much, or are things really that bad?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="380318" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:32:24.063" LastActivityDate="2017-03-02T23:10:39.043" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is true of all SE sites, and all questions that have ever been asked &lt;em&gt;in general&lt;/em&gt;, even questions unrelated to technology long before the Internet was invented.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's because answers require a significant amount of work for humans (usually) to produce something useful and expedient to solve a problem; but in almost all cases where any &quot;solution&quot; is provided (as a result of someone doing work), the solution is &lt;em&gt;imperfect&lt;/em&gt;, leading to yet more questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just think about it: nearly all questions on Super User are about some piece of hardware or software that is supposed to present a solution to a problem. That is, for each &quot;answer&quot; we've already come up with, there are dozens (or hundreds) of questions! And the more complicated and comprehensive the answer (say, an operating system), the more questions there are!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Humans are never satisfied with what they've got, which means they can always conceive of how it'd be better. But in about 110,000 cases, at least, the following series of actions has not taken place, in the right order, to provide an answer:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Someone asked a good question, &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt; a bad question that nobody who cares about curating the site has bothered to flag or vote to close/delete.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Someone who's had experience in that area has seen the question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;That someone was either &lt;em&gt;extraordinarily lucky&lt;/em&gt; in their ability to have already gone through the same problem, and can thus very quickly produce a solution; &lt;strong&gt;or&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;That someone was lucky enough to type the right search terms into a search engine to find someone else on the Internet who has posted the solution to the same problem or a similar enough one that the answerer can put two and two together and write down what he/she thinks is a likely answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The solution is simple enough that the answerer actually has &lt;em&gt;time&lt;/em&gt; to do this, considering they probably work for a living (or do something else besides answer questions on Super User during their free time) and spend between 1/5 and 1/3 of their life &lt;em&gt;sleeping&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The answer wasn't spam that gets voted into oblivion or flagged and nuked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, every time a question gets answered with valuable information, it's a freaking &lt;em&gt;miracle&lt;/em&gt;. The scope of questions that can be asked is so broad that there's no way we'll ever have time to answer them all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And because software becomes obsolete so fast, and peoples' &lt;em&gt;use&lt;/em&gt; of software and hardware becomes obsolete so fast, many times the person who asked the question, as well as the rest of the community, will have moved on from the topic of the question, to the point where almost nobody still uses/cares about it. The question then becomes something of a permanent tumbleweed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The system already has an automatic algorithm in place to delete many such questions, unless they receive enough upvotes that it decides to keep its automated hands off of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But for the rest, it's just a fact that we'll permanently accrete more and more unanswered questions.

By the time this number becomes 1 TB, we'll have commodity 10 TB SSDs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The funny part about human text is that it's extremely compressible, meaning that it's very inefficient and doesn't really say a whole lot that hasn't already been said. And compression algorithms are so good that for human text related to a particular domain (in this case, technology), the size of the compressed data might increase &lt;em&gt;slower than linear&lt;/em&gt; (linear would be, doubling the input size also doubles the output's size, but I think the compression can do even better than that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="144607" LastEditDate="2017-03-13T14:51:12.973" LastActivityDate="2017-03-13T14:51:12.973" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This can include such actions as suggesting helpful resources, explaining site nuances, helping to polish their posts through advice or edits, providing words of encouragement, providing friendly input when comment threads become unfriendly, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Any member can be supportive, but for a moderator, is it a fundamental responsibility?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are currently &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions?sort=unanswered&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;110,000&lt;/strong&gt; unanswered questions&lt;/a&gt;, which is around 1/3 of the total number of questions. Do you consider this to be a problem and do you have any ideas on how to go about organizing this work? E.g. would you organize 'cleanup' events on Meta to encourage users to look at the Unanswered queue?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/291301/can-a-machine-be-taught-to-flag-spam-automatically&quot;&gt;SPAM&lt;/a&gt;, Not an answer or plagiarism.

How have you engaged the community so far, and what do you intend to do as a moderator to build on that?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I enjoy spending time on meta, helping explain the expectations and workings of the site/network. For what it's worth, I am one of only two not-ever-SU-mods to hold a silver &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/discussion&quot; class=&quot;post-tag required-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;discussion&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;discussion&lt;/a&gt; tag badge. (Only nine people of any kind have that badge.) I also inhabit the &quot;capital,&quot; Meta Stack Exchange, where I've earned almost 5K reputation. I have a thoroughly good time hanging out in Root Access, Super User's main chat room, where I can be found almost any day. As a mod, I would also make sure to have a consistent presence in the &quot;Ask a Super User Moderator&quot; room.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recently, I've taken an interest in data gathering, which can be seen in the SEDE queries of some of my recent MSU answers. I think it's enlightening to get hard data on the various aspects of our site, even if it's just to verify a feeling. Alas, I am far more adept at imperative programming than at SQL, so it takes me a while to create queries. I hope to get better at that so I can provide more and better statistics when appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Nobody's perfect. What is one mistake you made and what did you do when you noticed it?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was reviewing in the Suggested Edits queue and a new tag wiki excerpt for a new tag appeared. Seeing that the excerpt incorrectly reproduced the name of the system to which the tag refers, I wrote a nice rejection message mentioning the correct name of the system and submitted my reject vote. Later that day, I wondered whether there was any existing resource that got the name wrong in that fashion, so I did a Google search, and to my shock, the suggested edit had the name right. Fortunately, the author of the edit had been in chat somewhat recently, so I pinged them and apologized for my mistake. They were very gracious. A little while later, the edit was correctly approved. Had the user not been accessible on chat, I would have left an apologetic comment on one of their posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another humbling incident, though not so much a mistake because I did the right thing by sheer accident, was my new-mod &quot;oh snap, what did I just do?&quot; moment. It was one of my first days on the job as Artificial Intelligence moderator and there were a few flags waiting for me. I handled the normal post flags, marking the helpful ones helpful and declining an incorrect one or two. Then I looked at a flag on a borderline &quot;too chatty&quot; comment. Since I wanted to see the reasons to decline a comment flag, I clicked the &quot;dismiss&quot; link, expecting to get the &quot;Declining because...&quot; window as one does with post flags. To my surprise, the flag immediately went away, declined. Fortunately, as I continued to think about it, I realized that the comment was worth keeping and the flag was indeed in error, but I made sure to stop making assumptions about how the mod UI works. On the plus side, I wouldn't make any new-mod mistakes as a moderator here!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you see that I've made an error -- as mod or otherwise -- please notify me immediately so that it can be fixed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;A user has a long history of posting borderline (and sometimes not-borderline) abusive comments, and they just started up again. They've been given short suspensions a couple times, but it didn't get the point across. They're now due for a year-long suspension, according to the standard progression. They're also a prolific contributor to the site, with vast expertise in $Technology. Do you consider this in how you handle the case? How?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it looks like that user did not take the warnings or previous suspensions to heart. As much as I would love to keep a knowledgeable contributor around, rudeness is not acceptable. Abusive comments are highly likely to drive away new users who otherwise might grow into valuable, gracious contributors. I've heard this explained as an &quot;evaporative&quot; process: rude users cause nice users to leave, raising the proportion of rudeness and making the site appear less welcoming. Hopefully a year's vacation from the site will help convey to the abusive user that Be Nice is very important to this network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How do you feel the current moderator team is doing, and how do you view your style of moderation compared to the current team? What one flaw of the current moderator team set do you think needs addressing?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think they're doing great. Flags are handled quickly, almost always within a couple hours. When people ask meta questions about moderation decisions, mods show up and provide thorough explanatory answers. There's usually at least one mod around in chat. And to top it all off, the mods are pretty neat people who am I glad to know.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the spectrum of the current team's habits, I'm slightly on the &quot;preserve closed questions if there's useful information in the answers&quot; end of the median. Of course, I am always happy to put aside my own preferences when necessary and implement the consensus of the community, moderator team, and Stack Exchange. Not having been on the receiving end of any warnings or suspensions, I don't know what the speed of that progression is here, but I can say that I personally try to give people as many chances as they can accept in good faith, to the extent of what's practical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only area in which I have anything even vaguely critical to say is that of consistency in flag handling decisions. It seems there are differing views on what should be done with link-only answers (should they be edited into shape or flagged for removal?). It would be great if there were Official Word&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; on the subject. Of course, I understand that perfect consistency is impossible; moderators are not clones and the site is richer for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would ask them privately about it. If the action was in error, I'm sure they would be happy to correct it -- I personally would want to know immediately if I did something wrong so that we can get it fixed. If there's a genuine difference of opinion, I would definitely &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; reverse their action; perceived dissension among the moderation team would bode very bad for the community. Rather, I would seek to understand the other viewpoint, amending my own knowledge for the future. If the issue was very important, I would suggest that the entire moderation team weigh in on it (in private if appropriate) so that we can decide one position to be consistent in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With apologies to Einstein (or &lt;a href=&quot;http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/05/13/einstein-simple/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;maybe not&lt;/a&gt;), moderation should be as light as possible, but no lighter. The purpose of moderation in chat is to gracefully dispose of drama and let good discussions continue. I prefer to give gentle suggestions to get the conversation back on track when it's veering toward inappropriate, only moving on to more blatant warnings or suspensions if the soft approach doesn't work. (Rooms tend to get derailed into talking about mods' reactions/overreactions for a while after there are fireworks and suspensions.) Of course, if a user is definitely being disruptive and has not responded well to admonitions, then they will need a break from chat for a while.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Already having been a moderator on chat for a while, I tend to not get involved in unfamiliar rooms' affairs unless there's clear abuse going on. Though I'm sure moderators' intentions are good, it's very common for an incoming flood of mods (especially foreign mods) to actually increase drama. Locally, I'm pretty familiar with the Root Access culture and am generally quite pleased with the room's self-moderation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are subjects that are within the purview of the site but considered a &quot;gray area&quot;. Examples might include such things as circumventing user agreements, which some people consider to potentially involve unethical behavior. They are a gray area because they are not officially prohibited, like piracy, but are generally deemed off-topic due only to precedent. Specific issues of this nature are periodically raised on Meta to poll member input on whether they should be on topic. This question is not about your opinion for or against such topics. Here is the question: &lt;strong&gt;Should the decision as to acceptability of any and all gray area subjects be a matter of community consensus, or should at least certain cases be based on foundational principles and not subject to community preference? And why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As much as I wish policy could be consistently derived from principles, there are so many possible principles (cf. philosophy classes) that I can't imagine a single set of them that we could all agree on. Therefore, it looks like we'll have to stick with consensus. Of course, if an Official Mandate&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; comes down from the Stack Exchange team that we mustn't cover a topic (probably because of legal concerns), then we need to yield to them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Beyond answering questions and participating in community moderation functions, some members take an active role being supportive to new users. This can include such actions as suggesting helpful resources, explaining site nuances, helping to polish their posts through advice or edits, providing words of encouragement, providing friendly input when comment threads become unfriendly, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Any member can be supportive, but for a moderator, is it a fundamental responsibility?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my understanding, the one fundamental responsibility of a moderator is to handle exceptional situations that the community can't properly deal with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, I absolutely plan to continue being supportive. When taking moderator actions on Artificial Intelligence and when recommending closure/deletion here, I make sure that there's a constructive comment explaining to the post's author why I took the action I did and linking to the tour or help center if relevant. Sometimes it takes some effort to wordsmith the right phrasing, but I've been thanked multiple times for my input. I believe that the work there is definitely worth the user education.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are currently &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions?sort=unanswered&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;110,000&lt;/strong&gt; unanswered questions&lt;/a&gt;, which is around 1/3 of the total number of questions.

E.g. would you organize 'cleanup' events on Meta to encourage users to look at the Unanswered queue?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would like to see more questions get answered, but I'm not sure that being a moderator would help with that. As mentioned in the answers to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/5386/380318&quot;&gt;this meta discussion&lt;/a&gt;, many of our unanswered questions are borderline unanswerable/overbroad. Troubleshooting questions, while often useful and good on the whole, frequently require additional information from the author before they can be adequately solved. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since close votes don't cause any disruption on the front page, any user can go back and cast the appropriate votes without any special planning. If people wanted to go on a spree of polishing up old unanswered-but-useful questions during designated cleanup flood events like tag burnings (or just do a few edits occasionally), that would be great!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/291301/can-a-machine-be-taught-to-flag-spam-automatically&quot;&gt;SPAM&lt;/a&gt;, Not an answer or plagiarism. Can you elaborate on how you expect these tools/bots influence your moderation? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm very glad that they exist. Anything that helps identify problematic content is a win in my book.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most of my experience with Charcoal specifically is of them swiftly finding and removing pieces of spam on Artificial Intelligence; I am always very pleased when I see that's been dealt with for me. In general, I can't imagine needing to consider the source of an alert when judging it. From Charcoal's &lt;a href=&quot;http://charcoal-se.org/flagging&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;auto-flagging page&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;flags cast on a Stack Exchange account are the responsibility of the account holder, whether they were cast by an automated system or not.&quot; I would handle automatic/machine-assisted flags the same as any other flags, but also provide feedback to the team/user responsible for the system if anything goes wrong. (And if for some reason SmokeDetector shorts out and start auto-flagging everything, there's the &lt;code&gt;!!/stopflagging&lt;/code&gt; killswitch.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, I add this: if I weren't sure what to do in a tough situation, I would consult with another mod so we can pool our discernment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there's anything needing clarification, please let me know so I can adjust it.

Most of the time I was active I usually either answered questions (that's how I got my rep), or commented on questions, and answers. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I intend to build on this as a moderator, by helping shape the community as it stands further into something both the community, and former (as well as present) moderators would be proud to say &quot;Yes, I helped shape that community into what it is today&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Nobody's perfect.

I remember that I wasn't made to feed very welcome, and was just downvoted.

As far as I have noticed, the community is doing really well, and is thriving. My moderation style is possibly more passive than the current team's style, but that may change. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To mind, I can't think of a flaw in the current team at all (I enjoy their moderation style, and their methods)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would ask them why they felt the question needed to be closed/deleted/etc, and explain why I think the question shouldn't have been. Moderation is a team effort, so I feel that a mutual compromise should be met (for example, leaving the question in it's current state, or restoring a question)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My philosophy on moderation in Chat is to let users talk freely, so long as the content of the chat doesn't go against the SU rules. It's a place where users can say (almost) anything, and shouldn't take fear of being banned, after all, we all like conversation. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are subjects that are within the purview of the site but considered a &quot;gray area&quot;.

They've been given short suspensions a couple times, but it didn't get the point across. They're now due for a year-long suspension, according to the standard progression. They're also a prolific contributor to the site, with vast expertise in $Technology. Do you consider this in how you handle the case? How?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/be-nice&quot;&gt;Be Nice&lt;/a&gt; takes precedence over great content. If the particular user chooses to ignore warning and suspensions then it clear they don't want to change their behaviour. Abusive behaviour will drive away new users to the site, and there are always other people who can answer questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How do you feel the current moderator team is doing, and how do you view your style of moderation compared to the current team? What one flaw of the current moderator team set do you think needs addressing?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The current team has always done a great job (thanks guys!). I haven't noticed any major flaws in the current SU team and I haven't had occasion to disagree with any of their public decisions..&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I have seen &quot;foreign&quot; mods in Root Access occasionally being a bit &quot;heavy handed&quot; in their responses to flags. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Our room culture is fairly relaxed and the mods and rooms owners (myself included) try to maintain a &quot;light hand&quot;. This approach mostly works very well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would have a (private) discussion with the mod and see if we could come to an agreement about the appropriate resolution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we still can't agree then I would open the discussion to the rest of the mod team and let the majority decide (we have 9 mods so no deadlock is possible).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/be-nice&quot;&gt;Be Nice&lt;/a&gt; is observed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take into account the room culture (for Root Access that would not be an issue as I've been a room owner for some time and I know the culture). For other rooms I would have to catch up on the culture. Of course, Be Nice must be observed regardless of the room culture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I like to be &quot;light handed&quot;. Moderation should mostly be invisible in a chat room. I'm lucky in that I've had Journeyman Geek to learn from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are subjects that are within the purview of the site but considered a &quot;gray area&quot;. Examples might include such things as circumventing user agreements, which some people consider to potentially involve unethical behavior. They are a gray area because they are not officially prohibited, like piracy, but are generally deemed off-topic due only to precedent. Specific issues of this nature are periodically raised on Meta to poll member input on whether they should be on topic. This question is not about your opinion for or against such topics. Here is the question: &lt;strong&gt;Should the decision as to acceptability of any and all gray area subjects be a matter of community consensus, or should at least certain cases be based on foundational principles and not subject to community preference? And why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm happy to let the community decide these cases. Once the policy is decided, as a mod I would uphold it, regardless of my personal opinions. After all mods are (usually elected ) representatives of their communities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Beyond answering questions and participating in community moderation functions, some members take an active role being supportive to new users. This can include such actions as suggesting helpful resources, explaining site nuances, helping to polish their posts through advice or edits, providing words of encouragement, providing friendly input when comment threads become unfriendly, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Any member can be supportive, but for a moderator, is it a fundamental responsibility?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A moderator &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; a member of the community and has the same responsibilities (as well as a few more). In that respect a mod should be just as supportive and do all of the things mentioned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are currently &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions?sort=unanswered&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;110,000&lt;/strong&gt; unanswered questions&lt;/a&gt;, which is around 1/3 of the total number of questions. Do you consider this to be a problem and do you have any ideas on how to go about organizing this work? E.g. would you organize 'cleanup' events on Meta to encourage users to look at the Unanswered queue?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There will always be unanswered questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some problems may not have an answer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many are old questions that would today considered as off-topic by current community consensus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many are old questions about technologies that are no longer in common use. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others may be answerable only when a person with the right knowledge comes across the question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As an aside there are currently 58,774 questions with &lt;strong&gt;no answers&lt;/strong&gt;, so it is not as bad as it seems at first sight. The 110,000 is questions with &lt;strong&gt;no upvoted answers&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All in all I don't feel this is a significant issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/291301/can-a-machine-be-taught-to-flag-spam-automatically&quot;&gt;SPAM&lt;/a&gt;, Not an answer or plagiarism. Can you elaborate on how you expect these tools/bots influence your moderation?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can regularly be found in &lt;a href=&quot;https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/11540/charcoal-hq&quot;&gt;Charcoal HQ&lt;/a&gt;, a chat room devoted to flagging spam. The spam bot is deleting spam with a higher accuracy than human flaggers and the spam is deleted without mod intervention sometimes only a few seconds after it is posted. So in terms of spam flags the bots are reducing mod workload in spam handling. That leaves more time for other mod activities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="337631" LastEditorUserId="337631" LastEditDate="2017-03-22T14:25:14.737" LastActivityDate="2017-03-22T14:25:14.737" CommentCount="15" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

How have you engaged the community so far, and what do you intend to do as a moderator to build on that?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe that &quot;the community&quot; of SU is two parts: the people who come through asking questions, some of them staying, many of them not, and the people who stick around and begin to care about what SU is and work to maintain and improve that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the first set I take a generally kind and gentle approach, making sure that if we must send them on their way they are at least informed that it's because this isn't the place to get the best answer FOR THEM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the second, I check out Meta regularly and answer when I think I have something to add to the discussion. I've asked a question or two as well both about the mundane and one or two about more serious policy points. I like to think that I communicate and defend my points well, but that I also make it a point not to become personal or abrasive or attacking when engaging with someone I disagree with. I'll use humor to lighten what I think might be rising tension.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Nobody's perfect. What is one mistake you made and what did you do when you noticed it?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This morning while dealing with an audit report I made changes to a system and inadvertently made one change too many, causing issues for users. When I began seeing the problem reports I immediately began going back over changes I'd made and found the error and resolved it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I'm wrong, I'll admit it. I value human connection more than being right in most cases. Even online.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;A user has a long history of posting borderline (and sometimes not-borderline) abusive comments, and they just started up again.

They're also a prolific contributor to the site, with vast expertise in $Technology. Do you consider this in how you handle the case? How?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They apparently didn't learn from their previous suspensions. They might be engaging with the site and being partly-positively valuable, but how many and who are they scaring off with their anti-social behavior?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If they're the right type they'll come back after their long suspension and be a good member. If they're not, they may be missed, but we'll survive and be better for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How do you feel the current moderator team is doing, and how do you view your style of moderation compared to the current team?

Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it doesn't. Frankly, they aren't super visible to me, and that's not really a problem. If they were super visible it might feel like the site is more managed than it is, or the management that happens might just be more apparent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there was one thing I could point to, it would be that perhaps more authoritative answers on Meta written by Mods might be helpful, especially as Meta is a place many people will look to for responses from the Mods.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, at the same time, there aren't a lot of complaints in Meta and perhaps that's because this site is generally well administered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, Kudos to the Mods we have. Y'all are generally invisibly awesome! Or awesomely invisble. Or something like that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I REALLY REALLY REALLY believed that it there is value to the question, I'd probably try to find a creative alternative that the various parties are all OK with. At the same time, being unified with the other mods has a benefit too. Unless I was particularly and oddly attached to a specific questiona non grata I'd probably swallow my pride and move on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use a light hand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Live chat is a lighter medium. It's a much more connected community and there is a qualitatively different connection in chat than in main page of SU.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People might be in there to blow off, to hang with virtual buddies, and some to even ask questions. So long as they are not being actively offensive and anti-social I prefer to live and let live in live chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are subjects that are within the purview of the site but considered a &quot;gray area&quot;.

A user who has a good experience will be inclined to come back.

I try to be as professional as possible, but the odd Dr. Who reference or Sherlock quote might accidentally slip out. As I stated before, I look at context before taking action to ensure I'm making the right decision. I do realise that things can become quite hectic in the moderator business, but I can certainly try my best.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a moderator took an action on a question that I thought was incorrect, I would try to respect their decision. I often have differing opinions with others, and I understand that everybody's opinion counts (no matter how much I may disagree). If I have an absolute objection to the action taken on a certain question, I would communicate with the moderator who took that action, and share my opinion with them. If I could not convince them otherwise, but still wanted that action reversed, I would speak to other moderators to see if my opinion is shared by any of them. I am not afraid to admit I am wrong, so if nobody agrees with me, then that is my final action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Chat moderation is a tricky subject. I am personally opposed to many things that are seen as &quot;normal-ish&quot;, so I would default to SU rules if I ever doubt myself. Above all else, as long as people respect each other and the rules, they can say pretty much anything they want.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Should the decision as to acceptability of any and all gray area subjects be a matter of community consensus, or should at least certain cases be based on foundational principles and not subject to community preference? And why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SuperUser is a community driven site, all details related to on-topic and off-topic subject matter (especially &quot;grey areas&quot;), should be left up to the community to decide. This is within reason, of course. Not every community consensus is going to be ideal for every situation, so intervention should be available, but sparsely used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Any member can be supportive, but for a moderator, is it a fundamental responsibility?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Being supportive to the members of the community would be a personal ideal should I become a moderator. I do not, however, believe it is something that moderators should be held to. Moderators should always be courteous and helpful to users, but not all moderators are going to come into contact with members of the community in a way that would allow for them do so. All things considered, the only fundamental responsibility of a moderator concerning users, is that they are respectful to the community members (and vice-versa).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;There are currently 110,000 unanswered questions, which is around 1/3 of the total number of questions. Do you consider this to be a problem and do you have any ideas on how to go about organizing this work? E.g. would you organize 'cleanup' events on Meta to encourage users to look at the Unanswered queue?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unanswered questions aren't necessarily a problem. They only pose as a significant deficit in the amount of people who can answer questions like those which go for months, or even years, without a valid solution. Personally, I believe the first step in cleaning up the unanswered que is to sift through questions, and determine if they have any duplicates (possibly with solutions). The next step is to decide whether or not the questions are still relevant, and bring them to attention if they are. The community needs to be involved in an effort like this, to ensure the highest quality organization that can be offered. In the end, it is a group effort to bring questions to their deserved place, in the answered question bin.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for SPAM, Not an answer or plagiarism. Can you elaborate on how you expect these tools/bots influence your moderation?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Automated tools are ideal for an environment like this. They can make repetitive, undesirable tasks manageable, and increase productivity. This being the case, there are some things that can (currently) only be done by people. I have no idea what they are, but I'm sure they exist. As a moderator, I would familiarize myself with the tools at my disposal, and use them as needed. I do not think using a &quot;bot&quot; would influence my moderation style in any significant way, but instead make me more efficient in my duties. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for reading&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;John Kieran&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="450638" LastEditorUserId="450638" LastEditDate="2017-03-15T22:37:59.947" LastActivityDate="2017-03-15T22:37:59.947" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The gist of the post was that WebApps focuses on web-based stuff that acts like apps, and not hosting services.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SU's &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/amazon-web-services&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;amazon-web-services&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;amazon-web-services&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/amazon-ec2&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;amazon-ec2&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;amazon-ec2&lt;/a&gt; wiki excerpts basically direct all such posts to WebApps.  An excellent answer by allquixotic described the complexity of dealing with the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No formal action resulted from that thread, and it seems not many SU users were aware of it.  A well-meaning user just updated the wiki excerpts for these two tags to enhance the usage guidance, but the revisions reflect the common, incorrect assumption that these topics belong on WebApps (and the edits were approved by other users who were also unaware).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We need to do something to provide proper guidance for how to handle these questions, because virtually none of them belong on WebApps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you read allquixotic's answer, redirecting most of these questions properly will be an uphill battle, and perhaps outside the familiarity of many of the users who would be doing the redirecting and close voting.  We could just decide to make these questions on-topic and deal with them here if they are asked here.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People with enough knowledge to suggest a better site for specific questions could do so, but driven by expected better resources for an answer rather than site scope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;We could decide that they are off-topic here except for content questions that are always on topic on SU.  Simply close them and offer any guidance we can on where the OP could try re-posting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;We need to clean up our tag wiki information, at least removing the WebApps advice.  If none of the above are viable solutions, perhaps we could encapsulate allquixotic's analysis in the tag wikis and have the excerpts direct the user to the wiki for detailed guidance.  The wiki advice often isn't read by the poster, but at least it would provide ready access to the advice for community moderation.  I've proposed some simplified guidelines in answers, below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Voting on any Meta question is always useful to indicate how much concern there is about an issue.

How have you engaged the community so far, and what do you intend to do as a moderator to build on that?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might look at my meta account and say &quot;But he's done nothing!&quot; and I couldn't argue much on this point - I've generally stayed away from meta mainly because I enjoy looking into the technical issues, while all my 'soft' interaction happens on a more instant gratification basis via chat. I'm on chat a lot, as much as possible basically and I enjoy both being a part of and helping expand that community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Nobody's perfect. What is one mistake you made and what did you do when you noticed it?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Posting an answer too quickly only to realise later (possibly after notification) that it's really NAA. Generally then I'll delete the answer if it's of no use to anyone, or adapt it to of least be of use to future visitors where appropriate. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;A user has a long history of posting borderline (and sometimes not-borderline) abusive comments, and they just started up again. They've been given short suspensions a couple times, but it didn't get the point across. They're now due for a year-long suspension, according to the standard progression. They're also a prolific contributor to the site, with vast expertise in $Technology. Do you consider this in how you handle the case? How?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It'd depend on the type of abuse. If it's directed at a specific person with no reason behind it (such as a prior disagreement) then I'd immediately and without question put forth the action to ban. No one should suffer at the hands of another even if the other is an expert in their field. However, as with most difficult decisions the waters are normally more murky. I'd likely speak to the user in question, and other mods, losing someone good is painful, but losing innocent users is worse. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How do you feel the current moderator team is doing, and how do you view your style of moderation compared to the current team? What one flaw of the current moderator team set do you think needs addressing?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think they do an excellent job currently, however sometimes in chat when they aren't active (due to timezones I guess) we may end up with a mod who doesn't necessarily understand the community so well, and may end up making decisions that are then reversed once the team are active again. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd speak to the mod in question, and if we couldn't convince each other one way or the other I'd steam the rest of the teams input.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;What is your philosophy on moderation in Chat?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A light gentle touch is best - see my answer to Q1. While remembering that chat is generally less visible than the main site over time, so it may not be worth drawing attention to something on the same level you would for the main site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are subjects that are within the purview of the site but considered a &quot;gray area&quot;. Examples might include such things as circumventing user agreements, which some people consider to potentially involve unethical behavior. They are a gray area because they are not officially prohibited, like piracy, but are generally deemed off-topic due only to precedent. Specific issues of this nature are periodically raised on Meta to poll member input on whether they should be on topic. This question is not about your opinion for or against such topics. Here is the question: &lt;strong&gt;Should the decision as to acceptability of any and all gray area subjects be a matter of community consensus, or should at least certain cases be based on foundational principles and not subject to community preference? And why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If we ignore the communities wishes, the community will ignore us (i.e) move away from the site. And the community is what makes the site. So of course we need to judge what the community feels best, and follow that the best we can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;8&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Beyond answering questions and participating in community moderation functions, some members take an active role being supportive to new users. This can include such actions as suggesting helpful resources, explaining site nuances, helping to polish their posts through advice or edits, providing words of encouragement, providing friendly input when comment threads become unfriendly, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Any member can be supportive, but for a moderator, is it a fundamental responsibility?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't feel it's part of a mods responsibility other than maybe explaining clear when action is taken, exactly why it has been and how the user can avoid this in the future. However I plan to try and help still where I can, via reviews etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;9&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are currently &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions?sort=unanswered&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;110,000&lt;/strong&gt; unanswered questions&lt;/a&gt;, which is around 1/3 of the total number of questions. Do you consider this to be a problem and do you have any ideas on how to go about organizing this work? E.g. would you organize 'cleanup' events on Meta to encourage users to look at the Unanswered queue?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So 2/3rd's are answered and from what I've seen people want to answer where possible so I can't help but feel that at least some portion of these questions maybe unanswerable. This could be due to them being too specific, just plain outdated or lacking in vital information that was never provided. Simply trying to get people to answer them doesn't seem to work so maybe more work on categorising them and cleaning up where possible is the solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol start=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Across the network several teams are working on, or have already deployed, automated tools (bots if you like) to assist in flagging posts for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/291301/can-a-machine-be-taught-to-flag-spam-automatically&quot;&gt;SPAM&lt;/a&gt;, Not an answer or plagiarism. Can you elaborate on how you expect these tools/bots influence your moderation? &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Smokey is awesome and a great tool, and would be helpful in identifying problem users, but the process still requires a human touch to decide sometimes, what is the best course of action.

I'd treat this in several categories:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Words that are always considered profanity (typically the 4 letter variety), that all readers immediately know are not suitable for mixed company or young children: never acceptable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Words that are commonly recognized as &quot;hate speech&quot;; highly offensive, derogatory terms referring to groups of people (race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, handicap, physical attributes, etc.): never acceptable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Words that are commonly recognized as terms that some people find mildly offensive: consider the context (how it is used) and the impact.  For example, &quot;bitch&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If someone calls someone else a bitch, it is being used in an insulting and derogatory manner.  That's unacceptable.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it is used as standard English slang in a sentence, that's a different matter, as in: &quot;The connector was a bitch to take off&quot; or &quot;I had a bitch of a time with that error&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is no reason to search out these cases and prophylactically do anything with them.  If someone complains about a specific example:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If it can be easily edited to use a different word, do it.  If it is in a useless comment, delete the comment.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it can't easily be changed or deletion would be detrimental, leave it alone.  Exception: give special consideration to an offending comment on the complainer's own post.  In that case, the complainer can't simply go somewhere else to not see it.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If appropriate, thank the complainer for bringing it to our attention and explain that it technically doesn't violate site rules so we ask them to just be tolerant.  Other than the exception above, it's a really big site and nothing is forcing them to read that particular post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Words or language that are not typically recognized as offensive but someone complains about it:  Judgement call.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Assess the complainer.  Are they just trolling?  Ignore the complaint.  Does it seem to be a serious complaint but the person is being ridiculously over-sensitive?  Maybe explain that it doesn't appear to violate site policy and ask them to clarify what about it they find offensive.  If it bothers them enough to respond and they articulate something reasonable, use rules similar to #3 to decide whether to accommodate them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We want the site to be as friendly as possible, but we also need to weigh the rights of the poster.  We should accommodate people's sensibilities when the objections are reasonable and we can easily do it without loss of value to the site or offending someone else.  But at some point we need to recognize that some people are special snowflakes who insist on their right to find everything offensive, and accommodating their whims can be offensive to others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Addendum:&lt;/strong&gt; It's hard to argue with Ben N's answer.  To some degree, we're approaching the question from different angles.  For the most part, what we're saying isn't mutually exclusive.  The point where the answers diverge is that my answer implies a degree of tolerance for words that are only mildly offensive, while the guidance Ben cites uses as a standard what you would see in a professional, technical publication.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a simple guideline, that's brilliant.  It's a clean way to define a standard that is easily understood and explainable when enforced, and it's consistent with SE's objectives.  So let me overlap the two answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SU is not a professional, technical publication.  That is an atmosphere we would like to emulate, a target.  To the extent possible, we want content to be polished, formal, technical discussions, free from &quot;emotional&quot; commentary.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the majority of contributors aren't practiced at that style.  Their objective is either to describe a problem they're experiencing or to help someone else solve one.  Writing style is largely an afterthought, if a thought at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So cleaning up clearly offensive content is something people should expect.  Cleaning up marginally and selectively offensive content is more of a grey area.  At some point, it can be stifling on a site that relies on people's unencumbered thought process to get the content onto the site.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We already have contributors who complain when our enthusiastic editors make seemingly trivial grammatical corrections to their posts.  Somewhere around half of our audience feels strongly about &quot;free speech&quot; (no limitations on even &quot;unethical&quot; content, let alone word choice--we can talk about piracy as long as we don't use the word &quot;bitch&quot; in the process?).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;broken window&quot; argument can be made--if we don't allow &quot;bitch&quot; it keeps us farther from discussing whether we should allow piracy.  Also,everything we do to polish content contributes to the professional atmosphere we seek. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But too much of a &quot;language police&quot; environment can be detrimental.  It's an area that can benefit from a light touch more than heavy-handed enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2017-03-23T17:40:25.130" LastActivityDate="2017-03-23T17:40:25.130" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There's also &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/22233/295684&quot;&gt;this MSE FAQ answer by Jeff Atwood&lt;/a&gt;. Though Jeff's word isn't necessarily law, that seems to tilt the scales at least a little toward disallowing expletives.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's unclear what the line on &quot;vulgar terms&quot;/&quot;expletives&quot; is, but this sense of the word in question is approaching it. Says &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitch_(slang)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; (hover to see):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;spoiler&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Bitch&lt;/strong&gt;, literally meaning a female dog, is a slang pejorative for a person, commonly a woman, who is belligerent, unreasonable, malicious, a control freak, rudely intrusive or aggressive. When applied to a man, &lt;em&gt;bitch&lt;/em&gt; is a derogatory term for a subordinate. Its original use as a vulgarism, documented to the fourteenth century, suggested high sexual desire in a woman, comparable to a dog in heat. The range of meanings has expanded in modern usage. In a feminist context, it can indicate a strong or assertive woman.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA; The word &lt;em&gt;bitch&lt;/em&gt; is one of the most common curse words in the English language. According to Dr. Timothy Jay, there are &quot;over 70 different taboo words&quot; but 80 percent of the time only ten words are used, and the word bitch is included in this set of ten.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And later in the same article:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;spoiler&quot;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt; When used as a verb, to bitch means to complain. Usage in this context is almost always pejorative in intent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This seems not super nice. Obviously there is a completely legitimate way to use the word - to refer to an actual female dog - so a word filter is not the right way to go about this, but other usages are on shaky ground. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this specific case, I would be mildly surprised to hear this usage in a semi-formal context, but that might be a regional thing. Perhaps such dilemmas should be treated more along the lines of standard cruft, like salutations in posts or &quot;+1 thank you!&quot; comments: &lt;strong&gt;not &lt;em&gt;wrong&lt;/em&gt; but not the atmosphere we're going for&lt;/strong&gt;.

The answers should be responsive to the question but beyond that, answers can address other versions.  The OP often doesn't know the universality of the issue.  So generally, tagging goes like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the problem known to be specific to a particular version, use just that version tag.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the problem is known to be limited to a couple of versions (say an issue started with Win8 and continued in Win10), use those two tags.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the OP is having a problem with an old version, especially if that version is substantively different from recent versions, use just that tag.

We can modify the tags.  We can also adjust the title or body of the question to more accurately reflect the true scope.  Comments can also be added to share information about version applicability.  On old questions, we often take these actions to update the question to reflect more recent versions when it becomes known that it is applicable to the recent versions.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People also post answers unique to more recent versions (containing proper version  identification).

Unfortunately, the &lt;em&gt;scope&lt;/em&gt; of your question is &lt;em&gt;huge&lt;/em&gt;; probably too huge for a Q&amp;amp;A.

Since you haven't shown any research effort of your own, that's a sign that the question needs to be improved (specifically, narrow down ideas such as whether you are absolutely married to having Wi-Fi or if you can live with Ethernet; for example, if you have mobile devices like an iPad that need to get on the network, that would be a convincing argument &lt;em&gt;against&lt;/em&gt; only using Ethernet, at least in some rooms.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1138844/144607&quot;&gt;Knowing if router is actually working as bridge?&lt;/a&gt; -- is kind of an &quot;X/Y problem&quot; (you asked for X, but you actually needed to ask Y), as the upvoted answer suggests.

There are simply too many variables, too many issues we cannot know the full context of, and frankly, most local IT should be able to answer most such questions far quicker and with far more authority than we can here. Further, to answer questions here is to subvert local IT. There are plenty of local IT people I've come across who are difficult to work with and that is sad, but at least as many times I've seen that the fault in tense user-IT relations cannot be laid solely on IT, and unwilling and uncooperative users may be at least as much to blame for difficulties in that relationship. Giving these users a backdoor support desk is NOT something that is actually helpful over the long term. While it may be only implied, a business hiring local IT assumes they expect their users to rely on them for their support needs. Enabling the circumvention of this is akin to assisting with circumvention of license requirements (not allowed here) and legal requirements (also not allowed).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastActivityDate="2017-04-12T16:51:38.683" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This question appears straightforward: can Opengraph be used on Facebook to change Flash to HTML5?  For reviewers unfamiliar with Facebook or Opengraph, that looks like something answerable on WebApps by people familiar with the subject matter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The guideline I personally use is to VTC obvious crap, but vote to migrate questionable questions.  The OP came to the SE for help and it seems appropriate to try to get the question in front of the people in the best position to provide it.  They are also in the best position to close it if they know that it is a poor question, but at least we tried to help.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the OP had done any checking on site coverage, they might have originally posted the question on the other site, themselves, so it still would have ended up there.

So this could very well be a local problem.  I haven't tackled diagnostics, yet, because they can be very time consuming.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was hoping some of our web programmers might be familiar with the site's underpinnings and some characteristic that could differentiate certain gravatars from others.

The general practice seems to either ignore questions or downvote them, then not explain why the question is being downvoted. The guidance for downvotes is that they should be used when the question is &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges/vote-down&quot;&gt;egregiously sloppy&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, which none of the above listed questions are. So, clearly we have a lot of downvotes occurring that are not only unexplained, but are against our own guidelines on the help page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I counted the upvoted to downvoted questions for the most recent 150 questions and these were the results:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;down    25   17%&#xA;up      38   25%&#xA;zero    87   58%&#xA;----------------&#xA;total  150  &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Maybe we should self-examine a little and re-consider the policies for downvoting. When 95%+ of posts are not receiving upvotes, that is of concern, at least to me, because &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9953/could-we-please-be-a-bit-nicer-to-new-users&quot;&gt;it creates a hostile climate for new users&lt;/a&gt; and sends the message that questions are unwelcome. To those who say, only &quot;poorly asked&quot; questions are unwelcome, I think when &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/12130/negative-up-vote-down-vote-ratio-is-it-effective-mentoring-or-too-harsh&quot;&gt;the downvote/ignore-to-upvote ratio is approximately 1-to-1&lt;/a&gt;, that does not really hold water. When only 5% of questions are receiving upvotes, that is a problem and indicates a policy-level problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In most classroom/learning environments (and yes SE is supposed be a learning environment) a common motto is &quot;There are no stupid questions.&quot; But on SU the motto seems to be the reverse: &quot;Every question is a stupid question.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suggest a discussing policy changes to change that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="247768" LastEditorUserId="247768" LastEditDate="2017-04-22T13:29:02.073" LastActivityDate="2017-04-24T01:00:17.017" Title="High threshold for &quot;well-asked&quot; questions" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="17" FavoriteCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've taken a snapshot from 21st april 2015 to 21st april 2017. It kind of shows something interesting. On a bad week, we have under 2k downvotes and the worst I've seen is 5k upvotes. Clearly, your statistics are off.

I'd prefer to comment but as voting is anonymous (even mods can't see them outside general trends) this is &lt;em&gt;optional&lt;/em&gt; rather than compulsory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most SE sites are a balancing act. &lt;em&gt;Good&lt;/em&gt; questions attract experts - and sometimes users. While we try to be welcoming - if we have a load of questions that don't quite cut the mustard, we lose the folks who actual generate value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And while broad policy changes sound very grand, I don't see any detailed, actionable suggestions that balance out those two things. Sometimes we choose to answer or salvage. Sometimes its the downvote.

It has a wiki excerpt with guidance, which gets ignored.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I propose replacing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/ide&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;ide&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;ide&lt;/a&gt; tag with an unambiguous tag to permanently solve the problem.  As DavidPostill points out, fully spelling out &lt;code&gt;integrated-development-environment&lt;/code&gt; won't fit in the 25 character limit, so some abbreviated form would be required.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Simply leaving out letters creates a misspelling problem for people trying to type the tag.  It is better to use common abbreviated forms of the words so that the tag is easy to remember and reasonably short to type.  An example would be &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/int-dev-env&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;int-dev-env&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;int-dev-env&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The drawback is that new posters would not know the short form, and would have a tough time finding or guessing it.  So this is not a good solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;alternative&lt;/strong&gt; that improves on the current situation but doesn't completely solve the problem: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/ide&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;ide&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;ide&lt;/a&gt; a synonym of an unambiguous tag that is what is attached to the question, for example: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/integrated-dev-environ&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;integrated-dev-environ&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;integrated-dev-environ&lt;/a&gt;.  That gives users a quick, intuitive, and familiar route to the tag, but displays a tag that will obviously not apply to PATA.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That may lead the OP who needs the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/pata&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;pata&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;pata&lt;/a&gt; tag to hover on the tag to see what's going on, which will yield guidance.

We read through them, and decide as needed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I admit, I had to think a bit before trying to address the new part of this question. I suppose its useful to start with what SE thinks moderation should be. Every new moderator is told to read a blog post called  &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/05/18/a-theory-of-moderation/&quot;&gt;&quot;A Theory of Moderation&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. I believe the relevant part of it is here&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Even with active community self-regulation, moderators occasionally need to intervene. Moderators are human exception handlers, there to deal with those (hopefully rare) exceptional conditions that should not normally happen, but when they do, they can bring your entire community to a screaming halt — if you don’t have human exception handling in place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With comment flags - its actually a &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/292011/drop-not-constructive-combine-noisy-reword-rude-and-other-comment-flag&quot;&gt;bit of a issue that's a work in progress&lt;/a&gt;, and Shog9 has referred to them as &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/252844/make-comment-flags-less-stupid?noredirect=1&amp;amp;lq=1&quot;&gt;stupid&lt;/a&gt; in the past. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On one hand we tell users comments are transient, and that any useful information is in a post proper. On the other hand, losing &lt;em&gt;potentially&lt;/em&gt; useful information is terrible. In this case - the comments could be useful in fixing the question &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt; it could go away. Deleting it wouldn't reduce the noise level.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It comes back to &lt;em&gt;human exception handlers&lt;/em&gt;. You've raised an exception. We're trusted by the community to handle them. Its not always that clear cut, and there's actually a fair bit of thought that goes into them.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have a certain amount of discretionary powers - we can accept your flag, or dismiss it &lt;em&gt;and that's it&lt;/em&gt; (In theory, we can ignore it too) simply because its essential for the process of moderation. Anarchy is the &lt;em&gt;lack of law&lt;/em&gt;. When you have laws that are too strict, and too rigid, you end up with harsh draconian rules instead. That feels &lt;em&gt;off&lt;/em&gt; to me, especially with how moderation's worked decently here so far. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure what I can say that'll make things better. You've mentioned &quot;unwritten rules&quot;. We make the effort to help explain things when we can (and I've spent more time on this than actual flag handling or stuff that gets me reputation). Where possible, we're &lt;em&gt;building&lt;/em&gt; that 'written rules' into the fabric of this site and no one gets punished for stuff that's not documented anywhere. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, it feels like a lot of effort for not much benefit, but there you go. This is probably the best I can do at explaining the wider, and seemingly &quot;anarchic&quot; way we do things.

When you aren't writing in English, it's quite reasonable for people to close the question as &quot;unclear what you're asking&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Spend a little more time making sure your question makes sense. For instance:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Retain File Names without name mangling when Move/ Cut select Files from Recycle Bin to a selected location&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should start your sentences with &lt;em&gt;who&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; is doing, or trying to do, the &quot;retaining&quot;. For example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm trying to retain&lt;/strong&gt; file names without name mangling when &lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt; Cut (Move) select&lt;strong&gt;ed&lt;/strong&gt; files from Recycle Bin to a selected location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Move/ Cut select Files from Recycle Bin to a selected location retaining File Names without name mangling?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is essentially repeating the same thing as before.

For example, &lt;code&gt;$REA9O58.xxx&lt;/code&gt; (my original file name does not look anything like that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only options Recycle Bin appears to give in the UI are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Restore:&lt;/strong&gt; Puts files back in their original folder, and with the proper name.

You can, however, upvote it if you have enough reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Upvoting means clicking the little &quot;up&quot; arrow to increase the number of votes for the answer. Accepting the answer means checking the checkmark next to an answer, but only the person who asked the question is allowed to do that (and nobody else can override the decision they make).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The privileges on Super User at different reputation levels are described &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The privileges are put in place for a number of reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To eliminate cheating, such as someone creating a lot of user accounts and using these new accounts to upvote their own questions/answers.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To prevent spammers and people who ask bad questions (which we don't want on the site) from artificially inflating the perceived vote score of questions and answers they post.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To encourage users to participate in the site, privileges are unlocked as your reputation increases as a way of &quot;gamifying&quot; the participation process. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here are some ridiculously easy ways to get reputation at the low numbers (15 and 50) you're talking about:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Each upvote on a question you ask gives you 5 reputation.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Each upvote on an answer post you provide gives you &lt;strong&gt;10&lt;/strong&gt; reputation.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Each accepted suggested edit gives you 2 reputation.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to get to 15 reputation, you'd have to get three question upvotes, two answer upvotes, or 7 accepted suggested edits, or any combination of these things. Many users can get past 15 reputation (regardless of their knowledge level) in about 20 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To get to 50 reputation to be able to make comments, you'd have to get 5 answer upvotes, 10 question upvotes, 25 accepted suggested edits, or any combination of these things. Many users can get past 50 reputation (regardless of their knowledge level) in about an hour.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing we want to emphasize is that if your only purpose in participating in our site is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To make comments like &quot;Thanks, that helped!&quot; or &quot;This worked for me!&quot;;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To upvote answers that worked for you&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... Then you won't earn any reputation from either of these actions, so you'll never get enough reputation to perform either of them. It's kind of a &quot;chicken and the egg&quot; problem in that sense: the things you're wanting to do, don't &lt;em&gt;provide&lt;/em&gt; reputation when you do them, either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, simple. Comments like &quot;Thanks!&quot; are &lt;em&gt;actively discouraged&lt;/em&gt;, because they just clutter up the site, and are not needed. If an answer is useful to you, that's great! Just leave it at that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You don't have to edit a Wikipedia article with a comment saying that &quot;I learned something today!&quot; every time you read an interesting Wiki article, do you? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do you call up the local news station every time they provide an intriguing news story to tell them that it was a good one?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Upvotes and comments are reserved for users who are taking a more active role in the site, primarily by: (1) posting answers to questions; (2) asking good questions; or (3) editing posts that need revision. Once you spend even 1 hour working on any of these three things, you'll easily have enough reputation to upvote and make comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, once you can upvote, feel free to do so whenever you find a question or answer that you find useful.

I suspect the 15 rep bar also dramatically reduces voting fraud. Similarly, the 50 rep requirement for commenting guides new users into contributing questions and answers - the most important part of the site - first. This is also a spam prevention measure. It's far tougher to notice spam posted in comments than in posts because comments don't bump the associated question to the front page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When anonymous or new users click the vote arrows, the post score is not changed, but &quot;post feedback&quot; is recorded.

Super User is about local computer programs on users' systems and general computer know-how (this is not a complete list of Super User on-topic material, but it gives you an idea).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, if the website you are trying to save has any server-side dynamic code, it is literally impossible to &quot;save&quot; that site with full fidelity to your computer, unless you had direct administrative access to the server running that website. That's just a fact about how the Web works and has nothing to do with any specific piece of technology. It's a simple fact. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obtaining administrative access to a server legally (e.g., by having an established business relationship with the owner of the site, and convincing them to give you access) is fine, and would enable you to write some scripts and get the data you need, but obtaining it illegally will not be discussed on Super User.

They may disagree and claim it's perfectly clear as is, or be unable to provide the needed detail, or be acting out after taking comments defensively.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may be able to help tease the needed clarification from them through comments or a chat.  But if the question can't or won't be salvaged, VTC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will you check back and retract the VTC after the issue is fixed?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once there are sufficient close votes, you can't simply retract yours after the issues are fixed; the question is closed until and unless there are sufficient votes to reopen it.  A marginal question might not get closed in its &quot;fixed&quot; condition, but if closed, might have difficulty attracting votes to reopen.  At best, it will delay the OP getting an answer.  So there's a risk to jumping the gun with a close vote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you plan to practice good &quot;VTC hygiene&quot; (revisit the question in a timely way to retract the close vote after the issues have been fixed), it's less of a risk.  If not, weigh that in deciding how soon you need to VTC.  It may be worth holding off on the close vote if immediate closure isn't needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2017-07-11T17:56:48.447" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If most of the Super User community agrees, then why can we not create a StackExchange specifically for Microsoft Office (&amp;amp; thus Excel)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: While I see many arguments, I understand that SuperUser was intended for such use. But I still think that we can categorize even further because it is so broad, even if it is designating an entire Stack Exchange forum for OS third-party software, rather than built-in OS related things. The majority of posts, little more than half are about OS itself; this is why I think categorization would be best.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Am I being paranoid?

The Stack Exchange blog has a post about sizing of SE sites: &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/09/17/merging-season/&quot;&gt;Merging Season&lt;/a&gt;. If the communities are too small, they won't attract enough people for the site to seem buzzing with activity. Super User is very active - something pops to the top of the front page every minute or two. On the other hand, if the communities are too large, they degenerate into vats of sludge (cf. Yahoo Answers) or fizzle out because there's nobody to care about most of the subjects. Again, Super User seems to be doing great. All subjects that I see meander down the front page are well maintained.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another reason we don't split is simply inertia.

Why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps some explanation is in order (my apologies for this being a personal story, but it demonstrates the point marvelously):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recently found &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/451350/chrome-doesn-t-handle-custom-protocols-correctly/1237009&quot;&gt;an answered question&lt;/a&gt; whose answer seemed out of date, or was inaccurate for Windows 10. The answer itself is excellent, but it points to the wrong file - either the file was changed in some update since then or it's different on Windows 10. At any rate, I found the file myself and wanted to add a comment to that answer with this information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't use StackExchange to ask or answer questions though and therefore I don't have enough reputation to add a comment, so for lack of choice I added this information as its own answer. A moderator later turned this to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/451350/chrome-doesn-t-handle-custom-protocols-correctly/1237009#comment1809422_451490&quot;&gt;comment&lt;/a&gt;, which was great.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few days later I noticed that in a stroke of brilliance I only wrote the path to the file's directory and not the name of the file itself. So I wanted to edit my post-turned-comment to add this information, but I couldn't. I thought to ask the moderator who made the conversion, but there's no messaging system. Devoid of any alternative, I once again had resort to adding this information in an answer (editing my original, converted answer didn't update the comment). In my answer I added a note for moderators shortly describing the situation and asking for this information to be added to my comment if possible. It seems like a terrible form of communication to me, but again - I didn't seem to have any other choice if I wanted to add this useful information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My request was granted, but with it came a warning that if I continued posting answers instead of comments I would be banned from posting answers. But what was I supposed to do, then?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another user commented on my second answer saying I should ask a good question or give a good answer to get the reputation points I need, but I had no desire to go looking for questions I can answer just so I could edit my own comment for the sake of saving some other people time and effort, and I certainly wasn't going to make up a question when I had none to ask.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I get the minimum reputation restriction. But once a user has a comment on an answer or a question already, why prevent him/her from editing it? Or at the very least add another comment on a post s/he's already commented on?

Code formatting should be reserved for (surprise!) code, or things that are generally displayed as monospace, especially if they're not English-like. For example, &quot;ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD&quot; looks ugly to me because normal human text doesn't use underscores and shouty caps, whereas &lt;code&gt;ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD&lt;/code&gt; looks fine. Bold has the semantics of emphasis, and so in my opinion shouldn't be used for quoting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have a longer error message, or one that includes quotes, it would be appropriate to use the Markdown quote syntax (start the line with &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Invalid widget operation &quot;finagle&quot; - expected &quot;frob&quot; or &quot;attune&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if the long error message is technical, and especially if it has long lines that would wrap, non-monospaced text is likely to look ugly. In that case, you should use code formatting. Compare this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;finagle : The term 'finagle' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  At line:1 char:1&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  + finagle&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  + ~~~~~~~&lt;br&gt;&#xA;     + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (finagle:String) [], CommandNotFoundException&lt;br&gt;&#xA;     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;finagle : The term 'finagle' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.&#xA;Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.&#xA;At line:1 char:1&#xA;+ finagle&#xA;+ ~~~~~~~&#xA;    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (finagle:String) [], CommandNotFoundException&#xA;    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The former is a mess and definitely shouldn't be used.

If I'm interpreting your proposal correctly, it would strip anonymity from voters who &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; comment first: if there's a downvote and a comment and no auto-generated comment, then the author of the comment is guaranteed to be the downvoter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Allow other users to down vote such an anonymous down vote comment and have the system apply the down vote penalty to the anonymous user's account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's no support in the system today for downvoting comments.

I'd like to start by saying I'll be reproducing sections of your blog post for the purposes of trying to address your issues. Having read through this though, I'm unsure that you'd be satisfied but I've tried my best. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This post contains the text of a question that I originally planned to post on SuperUser, a StackExchange website. By the time I finished it, however, I realized that its style and substance would draw hostility at SuperUser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unlike Meta.stackexchange (formerly meta.stackoverflow) - per site metas are relatively judgement free. There's no penalty for votes and your reputation is independant of the votes here. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;For instance, Gaius Augustus asked, “Is superuser unfriendly to beginners?” His question pertained primarily to rudeness among users. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And folk have addressed his issues - we still don't have any examples &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;newbies were barred from basic participation (in this instance, the ability to volunteer a link), due to lack of SuperUser reputation points.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Its an anti spam measure - and has been effective there. That said, the community has been known to fix up inactive links or edit in links from comments or wrongly posted answers as needed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The image shows that I had gotten as far as stating my question, and then the SuperUser site promptly responded with a criticism, as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A quick search on meta suggests it was put in place years ago &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20010/what-algorithm-does-stack-exchange-use-to-determine-if-a-question-may-be-subject&quot;&gt;What algorithm does Stack Exchange use to determine if a question may be subjective?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This does smell like a potential bug, and might need a dev looking at it. However, had it been a subjective question, it helps new users reframe their question to be better. These tooltips are things that have been added &lt;em&gt;in response&lt;/em&gt; to actual, real world issues we've faced. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This was a question I posed on StackOverflow. It was a question about batch files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Oddly enough, totally on topic here, and a better fit for us&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The problem arising in that instance was captured by user623852, who asked, “&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/11674/why-is-superuser-such-a-negative-board&quot;&gt;Why is SuperUser such a negative board&lt;/a&gt;?” Data advanced by that user, and by respondents to his/her question, supported the impression of a negative bias.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Shog's a CM, and his word is as canonical as it gets. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note that this includes posts that were deleted: spam, abusive trolling, blatantly off-topic, etc. If you exclude deleted questions, the picture is somewhat more rosy:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course stuff like this gets downvoted and closed... which looks a little worse overall.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The answer may be that the SuperUser site placed trust in its insiders. For some purposes, that trust was surely warranted. But people who have been doing this stuff for years can become impatient with beginners. Some of those responsible for building and maintaining the site may have become effectively incompetent, for purposes of instructing newbies, just as a college English professor might be incompetent at teaching first-grade reading. The site did not appear to be structured to counteract any tendency toward that sort of incompetence over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Citations needed - I've been here from since just past the beta and I'm entirely aware of how the QA format needs a certain amount of mental rewiring for someone used to the traditional forum. That said, our structure - of community edits (with benefits for newer users) helps with smaller issues. Folks also often comment asking for clarification. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SE's designed by nature to be about maximising signal - there's little room &lt;em&gt;to&lt;/em&gt; be impatient. The smart, experienced ones don't react (too much). We go for stuff to answer. We sometimes try to guide - &lt;em&gt;if&lt;/em&gt; we have the patience, but even those teachable moments are through comments (which are transient) or meta. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's also, both formally and informally, various amounts of mentorship going on. If someone's unsure why a question got closed, or they got question/answer banned, I'm sure someone would be happy, if they had the time, to go through and fix things. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, if you must allege &lt;em&gt;structural&lt;/em&gt; incompetence, please show evidence of this - at worst, we'll deal with it, but this is the sort of over-broad statement that's unproductive. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The foregoing examples involved the first of those two levels: they illustrated built-in support for potentially irresponsible negativity toward legitimate questions that were perhaps not phrased or conceived as an expert would phrase or conceive them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The language here... Basically attempts to delegitimise anyone who disagrees. If a question is good but badly written &lt;em&gt;we fix&lt;/em&gt;. One of the big changes in the site over time is how we went from &lt;em&gt;closing&lt;/em&gt; questions to &lt;em&gt;putting on hold&lt;/em&gt;. And I often comment &quot;Hey, this is the issue with your post&quot; and let them know that they can flag the specific post for undeletion or reopening. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The second level involved structural hostility toward those who would question this state of affairs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And... you've basically gone &quot;anyone who disagrees with me is hostile&quot;. We don't actually always defend the status quo.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In that case, someone summarized my question in these words: “Why am I getting push-back for linking to my own blog posts in answers?” &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've nothing to add to what lightness wrote. That's an &lt;em&gt;excellent&lt;/em&gt; answer. This is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/225370/your-answer-is-in-another-castle-when-is-an-answer-not-an-answer&quot;&gt;canonical question&lt;/a&gt;. You'll need to click through and read another post - which is what SE tries to avoid making you do - self contained answers are awesome. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The hostility toward me was particularly intensive, in that case, due to a rising level of personal dislike voiced by a StackExchange moderator who admitted having an emotional response — which, even if it had been appropriate, should never have played a role in the website’s response to my question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super vague accusation. If a moderator is being 'unfair' - you can take it up with the CM team. While we're only human, we're supposed to try not to let stuff like that get in the way.

But curiosity got the better of me.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I rarely succumb to posting something negative or hostile, but sorry, that whiny blog just got the better of me.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Including the links to like-minded posts, it goes on and on about micro-aggressions and institutional discrimination and conspiracy theory and connecting random sparse dots to make a scribble that means something.  Out of hundreds of thousands of registered users and tens of millions of posts throughout the Stack Exchange, and uncountable components of user interface that have been developed to implement the SE concept, you found a few bad or suboptimal examples and a couple of people who, at one time or another, seemed to agree with your conclusion.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Despite a long association with the Stack Exchange, it reflects a complete lack of understanding of the site and its objectives.  For that matter, I didn't see the badge that indicates that you have ever even bothered to look at the site tour on any SE site.  While cherry picking a couple of threads favorable to your conclusions, you didn't bother to look through any of the discussion that explains the newbie misconceptions you complain about.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An analogy: when you drive down the street and come to a stop sign, it just says &quot;stop&quot;.  It doesn't say &quot;Welcome to our friendly town.  If it's not too much trouble, could you please stop here at your convenience?  Thank you very much.&quot;  The fact that it just says &quot;stop&quot; is not hostility, it's there to help you and others.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Packages of microwave food carry a warning that it will be hot when you take it out of the oven.  That is not a statement about you, personally, being too stupid to know that.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can find endless examples like these of government institutions doing things that you can interpret in a negative way if you are so inclined and try hard enough.  Does that mean the whole country and all of its institutions are designed to be hostile?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any massive enterprise starts with nothing but an idea.  It gets implemented through a huge investment of effort, time, and money over a long time, and gets improved and refined along the way.  At some point, an individual notices some examples of rough edges.  They can look at those in the context of the significance in the big picture and in relation to the history, and marvel at how minor the remaining imperfections are.  Or, they can compare it to a Utopian ideal in their head and complain about how bad and intolerable those problems are. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No enterprise can be everything for everybody.  A vast number of people find the Stack Exchange helpful and inviting.  The great majority of regulars and visitors don't find the atmosphere hostile, and most newcomers quickly become familiar with the culture if they have an interest in being here for more than their immediate question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The site is what it is.  Sure, we can identify things here and there that can still be improved.  But keep in mind that with any system as complex as this, few changes are trivial or without the potential for unanticipated consequences.  And anything based on a community of volunteers is going to reflect human nature.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You put a lot of work into that blog post.  But it's basically a rant.  Did you give any thought to the purpose of the post, i.e., what you wanted to accomplish with it?  What audience did you think would be receptive to the message as presented?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's nothing that binds anyone to the site.  If you don't find it satisfactory and the community is not receptive to your observations, maybe it just isn't a good match.  Why subject yourself to an environment that you find hostile?  Don't keep poking a stick in your eye and then blogging about how painful it is and how bad the stick is.  Just find a site that's a better match for you.  Life is short.  Choose to position yourself to enjoy it rather than wallow in an unsatisfactory situation you can easily change.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even better, create your own site and show us how it should be done properly.  If you do that, though, expect that someone will come along and complain about how bad it is because it doesn't fully meet their conceptual ideal of what the perfect site for them would be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OK, I feel much better now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2017-09-29T00:52:39.577" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

After a while some substantial edit suggestion from another user appears.

Let's assume the second account is registered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can see this suggested edit in my review queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;My point of view&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm almost certain there is the same real person behind both accounts, still I have no evidence. All I can see is the second account &quot;quacks like the OP&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have no doubt I should give them some useful feedback. Last time it happened my comment under the question was like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I believe you tried to edit the question. See &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/merging-accounts&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I accidentally created two accounts; how do I merge them?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Merge the accounts, then you will be able to edit freely because you will own the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tend to give the user some time (I neither accept nor reject, nor skip the suggested edit). After a while, if the accounts are not merged (yet), I reject the edit, unless it's already accepted or rejected. I can mark &quot;this edit deviates from the original intent of the post&quot; as a reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I'm wrong and the accounts are merged eventually, the user can edit again (as the question owner this time).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Controversy&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This last time such edit was accepted. It so happened I disclosed my rejection in comments and two high-rep users (+10k, +25k) argued that &quot;accept&quot; was the right thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure because &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/merging-accounts&quot;&gt;this is what we can read about merging accounts&lt;/a&gt; [emphasis mine]:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;After you contact us, the Stack Exchange Team will reach out to &lt;strong&gt;verify&lt;/strong&gt; that you own both accounts. &lt;strong&gt;If we can confirm&lt;/strong&gt; your ownership, we will initiate a merge.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From this I understand some verification and confirmation is required to tell there's one and the same real person behind multiple accounts. Yet it seems to me some users think it's enough to &quot;quack like the OP&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The accepted edit did make the question better, I admit. Should it matter? With this attitude we can take whole bunch of questions that are broad, lack some information etc. and make them &quot;better&quot; by making up and adding new details. We don't do this. Instead we do reject edits for the following reason, if it applies:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Even edits that must make drastic changes should strive to preserve the goals of the post's owner.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Questions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Primary:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What verification and confirmation is required to merge accounts? (especially unregistered with registered one).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Do users with enough reputation see something (e-mail?

Should I accept edits from users that &quot;quack like the OP&quot;? What is the right thing to do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondary (out of curiosity; these questions may be left unanswered):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When accounts A and B are merged, will B's pending edit to A's post be automatically accepted? or will it still occupy the review queue?

So different people can and do draw the line at different places.  That said, in this particular situation, I'd very much suggest interpreting in narrowly: &lt;strong&gt;the main goal of someone asking a question is getting their problem solved&lt;/strong&gt;, and any edit that helps them achieve that goal &amp;mdash; or at least isn't likely to hinder it &amp;mdash; is good and should be approved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In particular, let's assume that the question in its original form is vague and unanswerable or off-topic and about to get closed, and the edit makes it answerable and on-topic.  Let's consider the possible cases:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The editor is the OP.  In this case, the edit is clearly appropriate.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The editor is adding information provided by the OP elsewhere, e.g. in comments.  Again, this is appropriate.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The editor isn't the OP, but has correctly guessed what the OP meant to ask, e.g. because they have the exact same problem and can provide the missing information that the OP failed to include in their original question.  If we &lt;em&gt;knew&lt;/em&gt; for sure this was the case, there would also be no reason not to approve the edit.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The editor isn't the OP, and the issue they describe in their edited version of the question is not, despite their superficial similarity, actually the same as the OP's.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The last case is the only one where the edit could be considered to be contrary to the OP's goals, since answers to the edited question would not necessarily solve the OP's problem.  However:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the real OP is still active on the site, they will be notified of the edit and can revert it.  Indeed, if they're paying &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; attention to their question at all, they should still notice that it has been edited, and can revert the edit (or re-ask their question with more details) if they want.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the OP &lt;em&gt;isn't&lt;/em&gt; paying any attention to their question, then they won't know if anyone answers it, either.  So they really won't have lost anything.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In any case, if the original question lacked the information necessary to properly answer it, then the OP wouldn't have received an answer to their original problem anyway.  So, again, even if the additional information provided in the edit doesn't exactly match the OP's situation, approving the edit still won't actually harm the OP.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, regardless of whether the editor is actually the OP or not, in this particular case (where the original unedited question is off-topic or unanswerable) &lt;strong&gt;there really isn't any reason not to approve the edit.&lt;/strong&gt;  The worst case scenario is that the OP later comes back, notes that their question has been edited and answered in a way that doesn't actually help them, and feels annoyed &amp;mdash; but even then, they won't have actually lost anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, to reduce the chance of potential confusion and annoyance if that turns out to be the case, I'd suggest leaving a brief comment noting that you've approved the edit, and explaining why.  While you're at it, you can also suggest that, if the editor is indeed the OP, they should merge their accounts, e.g. like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I've approved an edit to this question [&lt;em&gt;link to review item here&lt;/em&gt;] suggested by @user123456, since it adds essential information that may actually make this question answerable.  If that's you, [&lt;em&gt;question author&lt;/em&gt;], you may want to &lt;a href=&quot;/help/merging-accounts&quot;&gt;merge your accounts&lt;/a&gt;.  If not, and if the edits by user123456 don't describe your actual problem, you may revert them yourself.  However, in that case, please do provide the requested information yourself so that your question can be answered.  Alternatively, you may also ask a new question with the additional information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;Note: AFAIK, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/43019/how-do-comment-replies-work&quot;&gt;the @-ping will work&lt;/a&gt; if the suggested edit has already been approved when you post the comment.&#xA; Otherwise only the OP will be notified of the comment.  However, if the edit does eventually get approved, the editor will at least get a notification about the +2 rep linking to the question they edited.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, just to be clear, I'm &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; suggesting that going around editing other people's unclear questions by guessing the missing information is generally a good idea.  But even if that's what someone &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; have done, it's not really a reason to reject an edit that turns an otherwise bad question into a good one.

This process ensures that either highly experienced users or the majority of those tasked with reviewing potential duplicates agree it should be closed.

Which leads us to your second (and quite relevant) question...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why is there no way to appeal or question the decision as the asker?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is!&lt;/strong&gt; The &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/10844/271445&quot;&gt;FAQ for Duplicate Questions&lt;/a&gt; explains what to do if your question is closed as a duplicate, but you disagree:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're the author, edit your question to explain how it differs....Questions edited within five days of closure will be added to the reopen queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The edit &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/194479/271445&quot;&gt;shouldn't merely express disagreement&lt;/a&gt; with the closure, but rather &lt;em&gt;explain in detail why your question is not a duplicate&lt;/em&gt;.

To this end, the site assists by displaying possible duplicates based on the content of your question draft. Not only should you review these potential duplicates, but if you find some that are &lt;em&gt;similar but not the same&lt;/em&gt; (and thus could tempt question closure), take proactive action by mentioning in your post that you reviewed said question &lt;em&gt;then explain why that question is not a dup.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="213131" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2017-10-21T03:41:08.727" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Seeing some poor guy ask a question, one sentence no details sucks, but getting bashed for it without providing some guidance will surely turn that user away to never return. You can lay down the law and be strict, but, at the same time provide some insight. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Forum Police seem to post a lot of comments with no effort to answer the question. People who answer are vastly out numbered by the self righteous SuperPolice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;-Please feel free to respond, and put me in my place if needed. Provide some perspective, does this methodology really work and do the metrics show that?

This reflects the ever-changing consensus of the active SU community, which, again, seems to be trending toward accepting a narrower and narrower scope of questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rather than fighting it that way, I'd say just use the tools available to you in the system to fight it:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If your question gets VTC'ed all the way to being put On Hold, ask a meta Q on how you can improve the question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Follow the advice given (especially if given by a diamond mod) and flag it to be reopened.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If your question &lt;em&gt;doesn't&lt;/em&gt; get enough VTC votes, then ignore it, as it's not affecting you if you get 4 votes but the 5th vote never comes.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically: be reactive, don't be inflammatory, and deal with the diamond mods, not other users. If you can get a diamond mod on your side (which is easier if you're nice, patient, and understanding than if you're annoying, entitled and impatient), then you and the mod can work together and hash out a way to ask what you want to ask so that it'll be acceptable on the site while still getting your point across. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't bother talking to other users and arguing with them about the topicality of your post, because you're just wasting your breath. Disagreeing with 95% of users who VTC or downvote your post will just cause them to dig in their heels and fight back.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't try to create a public debate or make a scene. Just stay laser-focused on working with the mods to meet the &lt;em&gt;current&lt;/em&gt; quality and topicality standards of the site while still making it clear what exactly you want to ask, and let &lt;em&gt;them&lt;/em&gt; tell you how to go about asking it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2017-10-28T01:27:56.353" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You are misusing the &quot;why are you posting a bounty&quot; comment box, and you are putting your information in the wrong place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By trying to insert a lot of information into the &quot;post bounty&quot; box you are essentially missing the point of the notice and the ability to edit your question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;post bounty&quot; reason should &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; contain information that should be in your question.

It gave you several chances to look at it and see that it is a transitory box and that it is not somewhere you should be writing an essay about your problem. Places where &lt;strong&gt;important&lt;/strong&gt; information goes are very rarely transitory and often require an &quot;ok&quot;, &quot;submit&quot; or &quot;cancel&quot; click to dismiss them.

For example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/45376/213131&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; asks, &lt;em&gt;&quot;How do I prevent web browsers A, B, and C from automatically moving my cursor to another field?&quot;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/470345/213131&quot;&gt;Another question&lt;/a&gt; asks, &lt;em&gt;&quot;How do I insert a single but differently-oriented page into a Word document for Office 2007 and later?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for answers to these questions, at one end of the spectrum are those where the context doesn't matter. For example, changing the orientation of a single page can be done following the same basic steps in the four latest versions of Word. At the other end are answers that may require several parts to address each context, such as if the OP with the Word question were to include Office 2003 which requires different steps due to lack of the Ribbon menu system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How should we decide when to close these questions as too broad? Is that decision based on the content of the &lt;em&gt;question&lt;/em&gt; alone, or should we invoke some prejudgement about the nature of the potential answers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I admit my approach to this point has been based on my foreknowledge of potential answers. It seems silly to close questions that can be answered with a one-size-fits-all answer. Doing so suggests we want what would amount to four questions asking the same thing, each for a different version of Word, but each with basically the same answer. But I wonder if this strategy is too &lt;em&gt;subjective&lt;/em&gt; and therefore flawed. Suppose I think the browser question will require wildly different answers for each web browser, but I'm wrong and a one-size-fits-all solution exists? This seems like a guessing-game I should avoid...pushing me back toward the position of closing questions that even &lt;em&gt;dare&lt;/em&gt; to ask about more than a single target context.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Where and how does one draw the &quot;too broad&quot; line with these sort of questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="213131" LastActivityDate="2017-12-12T06:15:45.570" Title="Too broad: Should we consider potential answers when deciding?"

However, there is a gray area when you get into closely related, multi-part questions.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In some cases, multiple parts are best handled as separate questions, either because:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;a comprehensive answer would be too long, or &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;other people may also have one of the component questions, and a composite thread makes it harder to find the component questions and answers.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, a question may be requesting a comprehensive explanation of a single issue, and the multiple parts outline aspects to be covered.  It may be easier to understand the answer when all of the information is in a single thread.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is no hard and fast general rule.  Whether a multi-part question should be a single question or broken up (i.e., too broad), is a judgment call to be determined by subject matter experts who also understand the site norms for what makes a good question and the intended scope of answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Understanding the site norms is the reason for setting rep thresholds.  By the time a user earns the VTC privilege, they are assumed to understand, and trusted to use their best judgment.  Is a specific question too broad?  &lt;strong&gt;Bottom line:&lt;/strong&gt; it is whatever you (and four other people) think it is.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just because someone has the VTC privilege, it doesn't mean they need to use it on every problematic question.  If unsure about a specific question, it can be left to other users.  The issue for a specific question can also be raised here for input.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So guidance boils down to the following.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are a subject matter expert:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you recognize that the pieces are closely related, the entire question can be answered within the intended scope of an answer, and think that it would be best handled as a single thread, then it isn't too broad.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you recognize that the pieces should be separate questions, then it's too broad.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you aren't sure or can't decide, pass.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are not a subject matter expert:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It is probably best to simply pass on the question.  Many questions are more simple or more complex than they may appear to someone who is not a subject matter expert, so you are likely to get it wrong.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What if you make a mistake?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;All anyone can expect is that users approach the VTC task responsibly and in good faith. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In many cases, there isn't a clear right or wrong; it's subjective.  That's why five people need to agree.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Sometimes five people get it wrong.

All standard computers in the organization likely have multiple levels of AV, intrusion detection, active defense internally &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; at the network edge, Mandatory Access Control out the wazzoo, maybe even bespoke defense tools if we're talking, like, an intelligence agency.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;User B&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A standard home user who uses their Windows Home PC for writing papers for school and browsing the news.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Doesn't conduct financial business online.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Social networking is kept to a minimum.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User's IT knowledge might be extremely minimal; if they didn't encounter a problem with it causing them to disable it, they might be running Windows Defender.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Probably not using the latest version of Windows (Win7 32-bit is still very common) on old hardware (circa 2011).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;System is only kept up to date with the latest security patches when the OS forcibly restarts for them. User is not security proactive.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User has no valuable data to steal on the system (except for other students who might want to cheat on an assignment), and may or may not be networked to other casual users who might conduct small value transactions online (e.g. Amazon).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;User C&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;An enthusiast who runs the latest Windows version (maybe even Beta), usually the more expensive edition.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Conducts plenty of financial business online; might also do work from their personal computer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Might have very capable gaming or GPGPU hardware that can be used to mine Bitcoin or Ethereum by malware.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User's IT knowledge is about where you'd expect for a high-rep SU user.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User has a thoughtful security posture, but probably values performance highly enough that an AV solution that slows them down will get uninstalled quickly in favor of something faster.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User has plenty of identity and financial data on their system for the taking, which is relatively valuable compared to user B, but pretty insignificant compared to User A.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is, each of these users will have a &lt;em&gt;vastly&lt;/em&gt; different opinion on what &lt;code&gt;&amp;quot;sufficient&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; means when referring to any particular security solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;For User A, they probably have a several-hundred-page, standards-backed, perhaps classified document describing in excruciating detail what criteria must be met by the scanning/IDS/AV/AM tools installed on each system. They also probably have several layers of scanning at the network edge, a forced HTTP proxy for all clients inside the network, and so on. What they run for AV might look more like a list of products than anything you'd ever consider running on your home PC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;For User B, &lt;em&gt;literally any&lt;/em&gt; sort of security solution is probably sufficient, as long as it's enabled in some way. Heck, even that might not be very important if the user never leaves the beaten path of their university website and maybe the occasional Facebook. What's the worst that can happen?

You can vote, or not vote, at your leisure; it's anonymous, and based purely on your whim, which means your vote (or lack of one) can come based on any reason, or no reason at all.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &quot;accepted answer&quot; green checkmark is treated similarly as a vote in terms of what is expected of you: you can mark your accepted answer based purely on your whim, which means your accepted answer (or lack of one) can come based on any reason, or no reason at all. One subtle difference is that you lose your anonymity, so other community members might try to add a comment that asks you why you chose a particular accepted answer (because they'll know it was &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; who accepted it, or didn't).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Adopting a personal policy like &quot;I only accept answers if I can actually go back and test them properly&quot; indicates a level of rigor and personal responsibility that's &lt;em&gt;nice&lt;/em&gt;, but not required. In fact, you're perfectly entitled to upvote and accept an answer &lt;em&gt;that you know is wrong&lt;/em&gt;, and the site will not punish you for that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general feeling on the site is that posts (questions and answers) eventually reach a vote score befitting the actual merit/value of the content, sort of like how companies eventually settle into equilibrium of the true value of that company on the stock market.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in the short term, a good answer will be unfairly scored low (0 by default), and a bad answer will be unfairly scored high (it should be negative, and deleted if egregiously bad or harmful to the site).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the long term, the community's &lt;em&gt;collective wisdom&lt;/em&gt; will eventually determine the &quot;correct&quot; score of the answer, as well as your question. If &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; votes come its way, that just means nobody really cares about the subject matter, in which case there's no point worrying about it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Folks accessing the site trying to gain knowledge from your question and the answers to it will tend to trust the &lt;em&gt;vote totals&lt;/em&gt; over the green checkmark. The accepted answer checkmark is indicative of the &lt;em&gt;opinion&lt;/em&gt; (for whatever that's worth) of the original question asker, as to which answer is best. I, and most rational SE users, prefer to trust the collective wisdom of the community over a single person's opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In terms of community &lt;em&gt;etiquette&lt;/em&gt;, it's generally a good idea not to intentionally mislead people. If you want to avoid misleading others into thinking that bad answers are good, or that unverified answers are verified, you might want to hold off on accepting the answer if you can't verify that it's correct. But that's &quot;common sense&quot;; the use of common sense, community etiquette, etc. is neither expected nor required to use the site, and abandoning it won't lead to you getting punished.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, it doesn't really matter. Accept it or don't as you see fit. You could accept it even if you can't test it, if you feel that the answer was written well enough and plausible enough that you'd like to reward the answerer with some reputation.

It causes the user to lose reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A question can be downvoted for any reason, or for no reason. However, keep in mind that if downvoting costs &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; rep, then it also costs rep to the person who did the downvote. So if someone just goes around spamming downvotes every day, they'll have a hard time getting much rep unless they are a great contributor to the community otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is by design. The system is working as intended. The most often reason for downvoting a question is that it shows little research effort on the asker's part (Googling it, for instance).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Why not simply ask the person to restate and/or delete the question?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question or questions is/are fundamentally flawed (because the nature of the question shows a serious lack of research effort, or is off-topic, for example), asking someone to &quot;restate&quot; it won't help: they'd have to replace the body of their question with an entirely separate question to get to something acceptable for the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super User's purpose isn't to just clone Wikipedia; if the direct answer of your question is available by quoting Wikipedia, it's probably not a great question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I was told that this community only accepts one question at a time (in the post) whereas I asked three relating to the Title of my question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is more-or-less a matter of opinion, or a judgment call. I've seen good, relevant questions have multiple &quot;sub-parts&quot; within one question before without any problems. If each sub-part is a topic that is a huge subject on its own, it's generally best to ask that separately.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;And, another user did answer each of my three questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes the people who downvoted your question were unnecessarily harsh; sometimes the person answering your question was unnecessarily generous. Depending on exactly how good or bad your question(s) was/were, maybe your downvotes and negative experiences were not justified. Or, perhaps, they were justified, and the person who submitted an answer just wanted the reputation without considering what value his/her answer would have for the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that a community this large isn't a &quot;hive mind&quot; with everyone having the same opinion all the time. A lot of times, even the veteran users of this site disagree with one another about what's a good question, or what's a bad question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A downvote could come from a completely unreasonable source, like a new member in the community who just has enough rep to cast a downvote, and doesn't really understand what makes a good question or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What is the purpose of this community if one cannot ask questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's not &lt;em&gt;questions in general&lt;/em&gt; that get shot down; it's questions that are perceived by a majority of users viewing your question, to be of low quality or poor topicality for the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Since I lost reputation for asking questions in a community created to &quot;answer&quot; questions, I deleted the post, rather than &quot;check the answer&quot; and give another user reputation for answering questions that I lost reputation for asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What a waste... you also get +2 rep for accepting a correct answer, and by deleting a question with an answer, you've moved yourself closer to being automatically question banned by the site algorithm. Deleting your own questions in general is a terrible idea; avoid it unless the question isn't at all salvageable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also pretty childish to say &quot;Myeh, if you're going to take rep from me, I'm not going to give it to you!&quot; - especially when the person who took the time to give you an answer is not likely the same person who downvoted you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I was also told to ask a teacher or professor if I had access to one. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some questions &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; best suited to be answered by a professor.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

The “morality” is not an issue.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/canard&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;canard&lt;/a&gt; of a question. Asking how to get around a block is one thing. That question in particular comes from someone who doesn’t understand—or wants to admit—they were blocked due to scraping activities, they clearly barely understand how an external IP address is used and—even if they followed the generic advice on how to get around a block—they will most likely still get block again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If someone engages in behavior that “punishes” them in some way from they way a particular website manages access we cannot help them. They are in over their heads and believe they are entitled to things just because… And that should not be supported.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not a question of “morality” as much as an issue of why waste any time dealing with a question so broad and idiosyncratic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And to address this aspect of your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“…what if it was someone in Turkey trying to access Wikipedia for example, should we help them then?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question as you pose it is too broad and implies that somehow the folks here on Super User—other Stack Exchange sites—would somehow be biased against answering a question like this. Here is the issue with the straw man you present:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Being Able to Post Here Indicates Some Internet Freedom&lt;/strong&gt;: Someone who can access Stack Exchange sites should not be blocked from sites like Wikipedia. Yes, this is arbitrary and based on how different countries deal with National “firewalls” but it is fairly safe to assume that merely being able to post here is an indication that the poster should have some rudimentary access to the Internet that is not filtered oppressively.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t Think Someone is Helpless in an Oppressive Country&lt;/strong&gt;: While someone might live in an oppressive country, it does not mean they are completely helpless. Famously there is the “Great Firewall of China” right? Guess how many people in China know what a VPN is on some level? Far more than you think.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Given the Above, Someone Asking for non-VPN Ways of Getting Around a Block are Not Going to Get an Answer&lt;/strong&gt;: Okay, so someone lives in an oppressive country. Their Internet is screwed. Chances are good they know what a VPN is but, guess what? They might not want to purchase access or share VPN access with someone else. If that is the case, nothing can help them. It will be an endless discussion of “But what if I do this?” and “But what if I do that?” and at the end of the day all of these “great” ideas are things the original poster could do without asking any of us for permission. So the fact they are persistently asking us for—what can only be described as—magic is a big indication that the question cannot be answered.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day one can only help people who are willing to help themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And circling back to the specific question, if someone knows they have been banned from scraping a site, and they know if they simply “asked” for help they would be lucky to get a response and they are stubbornly insisting that we provide them with a way to scrape a site that has banned them using the logic that it isn’t “illegal”… Well, we can’t help them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If someone got kicked out of a bar for behaving badly and they were blocked from using the front entrance, what good will it do for anyone if they asked a patron to just open a back door or window to let them in? A fairly broad analogy, but the much larger question presented is what is the best way to scrape a site to avoid banning. And guess what?

So I'll just add a little about the &quot;moral&quot; angle.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Stack Exchange has wrestled with the grey line virtually since its inception.  There are a number of categories of issues. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blatantly illegal activity.&lt;/strong&gt;  The SE has official policy in this area.  We don't answer questions that enable it.  That includes things like software piracy and circumventing protection against theft of services.  The SE is also pretty vigilant about protecting and honoring copyrights.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Civil contract issues.&lt;/strong&gt;  The grey line runs through terms of service and user agreements.  Half of the members believe it is unethical to facilitate violation of such contracts between a publisher/provider and the user.  The other half believe it isn't our role to police such contracts and we should share technical information regardless of how it might be used.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The merits have been argued for years and the SE has generally avoided taking an official position.  The exception is Hackintosh, which has been a recurring, high volume topic; the SE made an administrative decision to not support those questions.  Any other questions of this type stand a 50/50 chance of being answered or closed, depending on who sees them (assuming they're otherwise good questions).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intellectual property restrictions.&lt;/strong&gt;  Many users (particularly those who don't create software  or web sites for a living, or work in IT), don't think in terms of intellectual property; that someone invested time to create it, and relies on it for their livelihood.  Or they may be aware of it but consider certain big corporations to be undeserving of all of the revenue from their products.  So we get questions about circumventing restrictions on intellectual property.  There are basically two categories: things you own and need access for personal use, and things you don't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things you own:&lt;/strong&gt;  If you have purchased something and own it, there is generally not a problem with removing DRM for your own personal use or backup (this is a glittering generality, not legal advice).  The &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/2212/is-discussion-of-techniques-for-removing-drm-permitted&quot;&gt;site guidance&lt;/a&gt; on those cases is to give the benefit of the doubt:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Therefore, unless the post looks egregiously illegal, assume it is being asked in good faith about removing DRM on things you own, for your own fair use. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things you don't own&lt;/strong&gt; (this includes things on a web site for which you may have limited access rights):  This may seem different from piracy when the question is about information on a public web site that is locked or protected against routine copying.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Our user base with the knowledge to answer is generally pretty good at closing those, or at least challenging the OP for a legitimate justification.  But there are often users in the knowledge-sharing camp who see no problem with answering.  This should typically fall under the guidelines of prohibited questions, but sometimes aren't obvious to all users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Controls by repressive governments.&lt;/strong&gt;  These tend to be on the other side of the grey line.  There is no official policy on these.  Many/most users view answering how to circumvent these as the morally correct side.  But it's a slippery slope deciding what's repressive and what's legitimate, and which countries are repressive and in what ways.  Some people consider any restriction by any government as repressive, and opinions vary as to which countries' governments are &quot;good&quot; and &quot;bad&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, not long ago, there was a question about getting a laptop onto a plane past the TSA inspection.  Yes, the TSA rules tend to be ridiculous, but do you really want to potentially help a terrorist get a bomb on a plane?  Questions are public, so regardless of the merits of the OP's needs, they aren't the only ones with access to the answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Computer security.&lt;/strong&gt;  This encompasses issues like accessing a computer without the password or malicious attacks.  Here, the ethical question is in how the information might be used, not necessarily in the question, itself.  There are legitimate uses for the information, like getting into your own computer, learning about computer security, and developing protections against malicious activity.  There are also obvious unethical uses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not aware of any official guidance, but there is precedent.  Generally, bypassing passwords has been an acceptable topic, perhaps because it is such a common innocent requirement and the information is readily available, anyway.  I've seen a few questions on the theory of how various malware works, how to get malware samples, and how to conduct specific types of hacking.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The responses often reflect the question.  These generally don't raise concern when the question is asked about accessing the user's own system, or an academic exercise using commonly available tools.  However, questions that don't express a &quot;legitimate&quot; need or intent often get push-back.  This isn't so much due to any official guidance as readers exercising common sense.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line:&lt;/strong&gt;  the SE has very limited official guidance on ethical issues; it's tangential to the technical nature of the sites like Super User.  So for much of the ethical territory, there is no official &quot;should or should not&quot;.  People will apply their own moral compass.  Hopefully, vigilant users will notice questions or answers that are ethically suspect or potentially dangerous.  They can comment on the post to educate and warn, raise the issue here or on the Ask a Super User Moderator chat, or flag or vote to close or delete, depending on rep.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-02-07T07:03:27.927" LastActivityDate="2018-02-07T07:03:27.927" CommentCount="16" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Indeed, here's the same page on &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/referencing&quot;&gt;the Super User Help Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Plagiarism - posting the work of others with no indication that it is not your own - is frowned on by our community, and may result in your answer being down-voted or deleted. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there is strong evidence in the edit history of both answers of his or her content being modified to match yours with significant quotation or paraphrasing, that is plagiarism.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if your answer simply inspired the other user to change their mind and improve their own answer (without meaningfully plagiarizing you), that's probably acceptable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Getting the right idea from someone else, and then doing your own research and putting in an answer in your own words isn't plagarism. If your answer is more comprehensive and useful in the long term, it will tend to get more upvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if the other user put more effort into his answer and it looks more complete and well-written, they deserve the reputation they get from it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the long enduring problems on the Stack Exchange network is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9731/fastest-gun-in-the-west-problem&quot;&gt;Fastest Gun in the West Problem&lt;/a&gt;, where often the &lt;em&gt;first&lt;/em&gt; person to provide a (correct) answer gets the most upvotes, even if their answer is terse, lean on explanation, or mostly quotes external sources verbatim.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;em&gt;valid response&lt;/em&gt; to the FGITW problem is to garner more upvotes/bounties by taking a conceptually correct but terse answer and re-writing it to have better exposition, more background explanation to set up the reader's understanding, or working out the solution in greater detail or with better pictures or formatting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If that's all they did, then it's fair game.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there's enough of your ideas in his post to be plagiarism, it's at &lt;em&gt;least&lt;/em&gt; worthy of the community's downvotes, if not deletion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Specific Response (looking at your answer)&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1249428/144607&quot;&gt;Appleoddity's answer&lt;/a&gt; was the first one to be posted to the question. Given the question's high popularity (lots of views and interest in the subject matter), it probably got a large portion of its upvotes very soon after being posted; the actually correct answers didn't start to pop up until around 18-20 hours after the question had the majority of its views and upvotes already passed over it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1249699/144607&quot;&gt;Agent_L's answer&lt;/a&gt; was at 15:57 on September 12, 2017 and got most of it right, at least compared to Appleoddity's original answer. &quot;This is neither ATX nor AT power supply.&quot; etc. Your answer came 1 hour, 50 minutes later, and so it could be considered that you benefited from Agent_L's answer too. Unfortunately his answer only has &lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt; upvotes as of this writing. Ouch!&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your answer is the most specific and accurate, but came a bit later than other answers that were partially correct. It seems like arriving at the correct answer here was genuinely a team effort by the community, and rather than editing an existing answer, competing answers were posted, each later answer benefiting from the research done by the previous (even the incorrect research, which can be helpful in eliminating some possibilities when searching for the right answer).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your answer, in a sense, &lt;em&gt;could be construed as&lt;/em&gt; plagiarizing Agent_L's answer. You said &quot;It is neither an AT or an ATX power supply.&quot; and Agent_L said &quot;This is neither ATX nor AT power supply.&quot; nearly 2 hours earlier. Now I don't think that is a statement that can be phrased differently, so I'm not accusing you of plagiarizing, but in the same sense, the edited answer of Appleoddity doesn't plagiarize yours by stating that it's a Compaq 22xx series power supply. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Appleoddity's answer is, in my opinion, more comprehensive and explanatory than yours. Besides that, he kept his original incorrect answer intact for posterity's sake to show that he was originally wrong; this is good intellectual honesty.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The last part of your answer where you provide links to purchase the item is not really a great fit for Super User.

I thought to myself: Could the author have perhaps actually intended to have them in separate lines, but didn't realize that's not actually what's being rendered?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also put the registry key on its own line&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;so that it could be selected easily by just triple clicking (not sure if many people are familiar with this).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It also makes selecting less error prone to accidentally selecting the surrounding text.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next in the answer the author writes&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Step 2:&#xA;&amp;gt; 1. Type WIN+R and start &quot;regedit&quot;&#xA;&amp;gt; 2. Confirm that you're an admin (a window may pop up).&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, I see a few problems:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The user has already been instructed to edit registry prior to this step, so this basic step to open &quot;regedit&quot; seem redundant. Or it should be put at the beginning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Same thing with putting the registry keys on their own line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After these steps there's one more registry modification step, but it seems optional.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Overall the answer didn't seem like it had a &quot;structure&quot; which is what I tried to give. I'm struggling to understand whether it's this very intention which was unwelcome or if I made some other minor mistakes in carrying it out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The author's comment &quot;The formatting I used is very specific&quot; is also what's puzzling me because like I said, I can't see what purpose this specific formatting might achieve.

I for one can see the value of improving on content we pull from external sources, and just leaving the external source there as a place for folks to go &lt;em&gt;if&lt;/em&gt; they want to see the original (for authenticity, for example).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I suppose it's fine if he &lt;em&gt;doesn't&lt;/em&gt; want to deviate from what the horse's mouth said. While I think your edit improves the formatting of the content and makes it easier to understand, it fundamentally breaks the &quot;direct quotation&quot; style of the original answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even though I advocate editing whenever it improves an answer, I think, in this case, it's up to the original answerer if they want to &lt;em&gt;keep&lt;/em&gt; a direct quotation style in their answer rather than trying to improve it.

In my opinion, edits are (supposed to be) such a big part of the site because the intent is to eliminate poorly-formatted or even incorrect content by improving it; we're sorta like Wikipedia in that sense.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Our dedication to edits goes so far that, after you get a certain amount of reputation, you can &lt;em&gt;unilaterally&lt;/em&gt; make an edit anywhere you want on the site -- you just click &quot;edit&quot;, type what you want, click save, and bam -- your changes are live on the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead, in forum-like fashion, most users stake out their answer and go, &quot;Mine! Hands off!&quot; and aggressively reject anyone trying to encroach on their little fiefdoms, paying no mind to what future visitors to the site might experience. All that matters is that &lt;em&gt;their original content&lt;/em&gt; is preserved intact.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Have you ever been a consumer of the content on one of the Stack Exchange sites? Whether it was Super User, Stack Overflow or some other site? Okay... so did you ever read a question that was relevant to you, but had, say, more than 3 answers?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Did you ever feel that a lot of information was being repeated multiple times in each answer, but with each poster's take on it in their own words? And then each post has its own typos; its own formatting imperfections; maybe even its own factual inaccuracies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sound familiar?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, this screed is just to say, that's kind of where the culture of the site is (and has been for a while). I don't think it's optimal, and I'm sure later visitors find it annoying to search through multiple similar answers and pick out the grains of truth from between the teeth of half-truths, outdated information, and lovely data evidently typed by someone who doesn't know Markdown from magic marker.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; policy is, generally speaking, don't edit others' answers (like, &lt;em&gt;at all&lt;/em&gt;). Instead, if you want to contribute to the discussion, post your own, competing answer, and let &lt;strike&gt;God&lt;/strike&gt; votes sort out whose answer is better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;/rant&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="432540" LastEditDate="2018-02-11T17:28:16.367" LastActivityDate="2018-02-11T17:28:16.367" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is often true by the scoping of a question. For instance, a question involving compatibility of certain 2008-era Intel hardware (say, a Core 2 processor) and Windows XP is still valid in 2018, 2028, and even a thousand years in the future, because the fact of the compatibility between these parts will never change so long as the hardware continues to run and the bytes comprising the software continue to be available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Statistics are a snapshot in time of a particular survey, with all the biases (known and unknown) of the collector of the data. They are not a good fit for repositories of knowledge like Super User, because the question can never definitively be answered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; scope your question as, &quot;What percentage of Internet users currently use IE as of February 2018?&quot; This would be a &quot;timeless&quot; question of sorts, because the truth about browser usage in February 2018 will not change after February 2018 has come and gone; these become historical facts. For instance, if I told you that 90% of Internet users used Internet Explorer on March 20, 2005, that fact is no less true if you read it in the year 9000.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is, questions about historical facts from a point in time are &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; pretty bad questions for SU, because they're extremely &lt;em&gt;localized&lt;/em&gt; -- meaning, there are unlikely to be many other people who care about that particular question at that particular point in time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would argue that by far the &lt;em&gt;most&lt;/em&gt; popular point in time for these sorts of statistics is &lt;strong&gt;the present&lt;/strong&gt;. Since &quot;the present&quot; does not refer to any specific point in time, and continues to advance with the passage of time, we can't ask a question whenever the question is being scoped to &quot;the present&quot;, because the answers are only going to be true in the instant they are posted. As soon as the answer is posted, and someone else reads it, it's immediately outdated by new data as that data is collected in real time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And no, browser usage statistics questions are not any more acceptable than calendar usage statistics questions.

That announcement is logged and sent somewhere for comparison but I would argue that the data is skewed. Some people change the version of the browser reported for compatibility reasons, some people change it for privacy or to circumvent blocks based on browser versions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, in a perfect world, due to your browser being able to be used to track your movements across the web I would argue that it would be beneficial to remove all version information from website requests. This would make broad usage statistics nearly impossible. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You could argue that package download statistics would take over, but a large percentage of people (especially on Linux) avoid downloading directly from source and instead download from their distribution repositories, again skewing the statistics.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So who do we look to for statistics on a broad group of packages that are used in a mostly offline method? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do we trust the manufacturers of the software to tell us how many users they have? How do they establish how many users they have? Do they potentially invade users privacy and collect &quot;anonymous usage data&quot; (like so many programs these days) or do they use simply count people who bought the product? Do they track how many people download via automatic updates, ignoring those who do not for security reasons such as some high profile recent malware outbreaks?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you have data from one manufacturer using one of these methods, how do you compare that to another manufacturer that uses another method? Is it even vaguely comparable?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable.”&#xA;  - Mark Twain&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wouldn't trust manufacturer statistics. They &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to make themselves look good. The numbers would be fudged to look as good as possible without being outright made up. Even if you &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; get statistics from the manufacturers I wouldn't be surprised to find that the total number of users is somehow indicating that every person on the planet uses at least 5 different packages for calendar management.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some programs lend themselves to easy and impartial usage statistics collection by their method of use, others do not.

Again, please do not do this, ever.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you ask a question on the wrong site, it is better to ask a moderator (via the flag system) to migrate the question to another site. There are many reasons why this is a good thing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The moderator who's about to migrate your question will be able to check your question for quality. There's a rule of etiquette across the Stack Exchange network of &quot;Don't Migrate Crap&quot;, which means that posts that are low-effort and do not include sufficient details to be answerable are not migrated, but rather must be improved or closed. If the moderator is especially generous, they will edit your question to improve it prior to migration.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Migration provides an audit trail that makes it clear where the question was originally asked. For instance, &lt;strong&gt;this question&lt;/strong&gt; itself got migrated from superuser.com to meta.superuser.com, our site for questions &lt;em&gt;about&lt;/em&gt; Super User.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Migration provides the community receiving your question with the ability to &lt;em&gt;reject&lt;/em&gt; the migration, which closes your question and marks it as migration rejected. The rejected migration provides very valuable information to Super User's own moderators and/or migration voting community (depending on how your question got migrated), which allows us to improve our migration decisions in the future.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Cross-posting will lead to your question being analyzed and worked on &lt;em&gt;twice&lt;/em&gt; on two different sites, duplicating effort. Someone who takes time to write an answer on one community will be upset to have wasted their time if they find that someone else already put in the effort to solve your question on another community.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Sometimes your question will get helpful comments or even complete answers on the site you asked it on, even if it belongs on a different site. All of these useful comments and answers will be transferred with your question over to the correct site, which reduces the amount of work the receiving site has to do to finish your question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If someone gave you advice on Super User in the comments that suggested that you ought to cross-post, &lt;strong&gt;they're wrong&lt;/strong&gt;, and you shouldn't listen to them.

Your right to free speech is inalienable if you are the legal owner/renter/operator of a given website; on others' websites, they are free to arbitrarily restrict your speech as they see fit, and it's completely in compliance with both the letter and spirit of the law and the US Constitution. The only other place where free speech is protected is &lt;em&gt;public places&lt;/em&gt;, but privately owned and operated websites are not considered to legally be public places.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, SE communities aren't &amp;quot;democratic&amp;quot;. Decisions about how to operate the communities are not made based on votes. Communities do not govern themselves by vote. SE employees, and to a lesser extent diamond mods, set the policies. Community members can &lt;em&gt;influence&lt;/em&gt; policy if they bring up good points and manage to convince the powers that be to change policy, but no amount of upvotes is &amp;quot;binding&amp;quot;. Even if your idea got 10,000 upvotes on Meta, SE would be under absolutely no obligation to implement it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only thing that's in any way even tangentially democratic is the process for determining the best quality or most interesting questions and answers on the site. This process is democratic in the sense that the best answer to a question is usually considered to be the one with the most upvotes, especially if it's got more votes by a wide margin. But this is merely an &lt;em&gt;indicator&lt;/em&gt;; the results of such a vote do not compel anyone to take any particular action. Indeed, the clueful sometimes find value in less-upvoted answers, and sometimes the most-upvoted answer is objectively &lt;em&gt;worse&lt;/em&gt; than others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Third, comments are &lt;em&gt;ephemeral&lt;/em&gt;. That means they can be deleted at any time, for any reason. Don't post anything as a comment that you wouldn't want to see magically disappear at any instant. The only entities that are somewhat protected from deletion on the site are &lt;em&gt;questions and answers&lt;/em&gt;. These are only deleted if they're: (1) Spam; (2) Extremely low quality / low-effort; (3) Get a highly negative vote score and are some sort of &lt;em&gt;misinformation&lt;/em&gt; that could lead users astray or cause them to do something harmful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even with questions and answers, you still don't have a &amp;quot;right to free speech&amp;quot; on SE, but the questions and answers themselves will remain on the site as long as they contribute &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; value (and do not mislead or possibly harm the reader) and are on-topic to the site. They are not ephemeral.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The comparison to public officials makes no sense, because SE is not a political forum. Your real life is not governed by decisions made on SE. Aside from reading false/harmful content (which is quickly identified and deleted by the community), the only negative thing that can come to you from not reading SE is ignorance of information you otherwise would've gained by participating in or reading the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can't pay more taxes as a result of a decision by a moderator or SE employee. You can't lose your house, or get put in jail, or be censured or have any rights infringed on. The rights you're guaranteed do not have to be provided by SE, the moderators, or the community on SE's website.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, yes, this is a form of censorship, but no it's not a bad form of censorship. Deleting comments that were the result of a misunderstanding is a net-positive for the community in the judgment of many moderators, because it de-escalates an issue and removes the possibility for others to get involved now or in the future and further fuel a disagreement. And it's SE's (and by extension, moderators') sole discretion to do this on their website. If you find this to be stifling, you're free to post your own opinions on a site you own, or on another site that will allow such.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2018-03-23T22:40:27.423" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The instructions are all in a link, and what's contained there isn't clear.  It looks like he didn't fully understand your issue, and posted a quick answer that he thought would be adequate.  Maybe he even concluded that you hadn't done any basic research, so he posted as an answer what might have been better as a comment to point you in the right direction.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Steve should have disclosed his affiliation, and as a long time member should know better, but he doesn't make a habit of spamming the site.  Personally, I'd extend the benefit of the doubt and view failing to disclose his affiliation as more of an oversight in this case.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what's an appropriate response?  Someone who comes here as a spammer needs to be seriously discouraged or blocked.  Steve is a frequent contributor, with a lot of answers that have been valued by the community.  He has some specific expertise that is valuable (when he applies it).  He might even be the person who could give you a good answer.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;He provided a problem answer that should be addressed, but I don't think a big spammer hammer would be the best tool in this case.  Voting and comments, and maybe deletion of the answer and a disclosure reminder if he doesn't go back and fix that, seem like an adequate a response.  There isn't really a need to warn others.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You added an explanation of why the advice was inadequate, so the ball is in Steve's court to improve the answer to address your question and disclose his affiliation, or delete the answer, or live with a bad answer and its downvotes (unless a moderator decides that the non-disclosure warrants deleting the answer).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But if you want to warn others, leaving the answer there with downvotes and negative comments serves as a warning that won't be there if the answer is deleted, and deletion would return the lost rep, so there would be a reward rather than a cost to Steve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2018-03-28T08:11:16.777" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Questions are only useful in terms of some greater context; having an answer simply for an answer's sake is pretty much clutter on the site. This is why I am not a big fan of test questions.

The OP hasn't provided any of that.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The structure of &quot;true or false&quot; questions is a terrible way to frame questions for a site on the SE network. Far better is to ask how something works, why something works they way it does, or anything else that promotes an informed discussion. A complete answer to his question(s) would just be a list of &quot;true, false, true, true, ...&quot; which provides neither the OP nor anyone else any knowledge of how to apply the theories and principles used to generate those responses.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of these points are true regardless of whether or not the question was asked to cheat on a test/homework. The idea of the question being intended to help with homework (or to solve a homework problem in its entirety so the OP doesn't have to) is orthogonal to the question of what value it provides to our community.

Or browse using &quot;Private Browsing&quot; or &quot;Incognito&quot;, so that closing the browser automatically &quot;logs you off&quot; by destroying the cookies on the machine that make you be &quot;logged in&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is also a setting in most web browsers that will automatically trigger clearing out your browsing data, including cookies, when you close the browser. If you turn this setting on, and quit all windows/tabs of your browser, from that point forward nobody would have the ability to use your computer to access Super User until you log in again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you &lt;strong&gt;aren't&lt;/strong&gt; sharing a computer with anyone else, and nobody would ordinarily have the ability to login as your user on the computer you're using now, then logging out is basically pointless. Nobody can access your account, even if your browser stays &quot;logged in&quot;, if your computer is secure and private. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been using Super User since 2011 and have never once needed to log out. I &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; accessed Super User from places like a public library, and when I was done using the computer, I made sure that the browser would delete &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; of my browsing data: cookies, local storage, website history, cache, etc. This is actually a more thorough logout than logout itself, because if you logout without deleting your history, someone would be able to tell that you visited Super User, and maybe see which questions you looked at.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure, the log out link &lt;strong&gt;should be there&lt;/strong&gt;, and if it's definitely not there, that could be a site issue or a problem with your browser. But I can't envision a scenario where the inability to logout would keep you glued to your computer for any reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastActivityDate="2018-04-26T03:21:02.887" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Asking for the driver this case means OP expect us to do their job, clearly off-topic here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;sometimes - as you mentioned too - there is no driver for the specific OS, multiple version ... If the OP has already searched then all these information can be included in the question, and the question won't be off-topic anymore.  Instead it'll be a well-written, on-topic question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;2. link-only&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Link only answers are not preferred here and for good reasons.

Also close explanation always contains a link to help center, so OP can learn how to improve.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;you can always write a comment suggesting to google for it (or just a link to this question:) ).

I doubt you would only just have gotten this problem because of EME, and without video downloader programs you would have this problem anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How you phrase the question is important. You start out with a solution (that doesn't work), move into a question that is only tangentially related to your actual problem (a site making it difficult for you to download videos), and then moves on to &quot;I don't want to pirate/redistribute videos&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You've only really &lt;strong&gt;hinted&lt;/strong&gt; what your problem is in your question, and then you've asked it in an order that is nonsensical and full of unqualified assumption about what we know about your problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want help then tell us what your actual problem is as clearly and succinctly as you can. Then tell us what you tried so far, what used to work and why it no longer works. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At a quick glance I cannot tell if the video is an actual example of what you get or simply a mock up or even if the quickly passing subtitles (which are in a foreign language) are important. In short it does not help people &lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt; without having to spend time working out what the video is telling them. Many people watch films or listen to music while using their computers and opening &quot;yet another&quot; video or having more noise can be aggravating and turn them off of answering your question or even reading it in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps a better question would be &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;what is it about EME that makes it difficult to download a video for offline use?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that is actually very broad and implementation specific and potentially still off topic for being vague and broad. It depends a lot on how the site is coded and media is transferred and chances are you would need downloader for every site as there are a lot of ways it could be implemented, particularly where DRM is concerned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or, more simply, one you could ask your video site of choice (but not us as it would be off topic here)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Do you have a program that would allow me to watch your videos offline?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Amazon (and other suppliers) often have Android or iOS apps which support downloading for offline use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastActivityDate="2018-07-06T20:29:19.527" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Super User is one of the first sites that will be updated. As such, I'm posting the design here so you can see how the new theming will be applied to your site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to acknowledge that this will be a painful change for sites that have rich, custom themes. I want to reinforce that the theme changes are a required step to deliver ongoing value to the sites with as little friction as possible. We released changes for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/312180/354333&quot;&gt;tag watching&lt;/a&gt; (aka favorite tags) this week and will be releasing a beta of custom question list functionality soon. The only way to make sure Q&amp;amp;A improvements are quickly available to all Q&amp;amp;A sites is to fix our themes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To recap from the original post on themes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Every Q&amp;amp;A site has its own theme. But there is great inequality in the level of theming that we support. A few (~10) get &lt;a href=&quot;https://photo.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Cadillac treatment&lt;/a&gt;, some (&amp;lt;50) are more like a &lt;a href=&quot;https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Honda&lt;/a&gt;, while most (~100) are a &lt;a href=&quot;https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Yugo&lt;/a&gt;. The reality is we created a theming system that we didn't have the design resources to fully support, thus the inequity. In addition, as currently defined, our theming gets in the way of releasing new features on the sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In order to deliver the left nav, responsive design and future improvements to all sites we've created a more standardized way to support theming. This will reduce the burden of supporting designs as we make Q&amp;amp;A improvements. The result is that most sites will see an improvement in the level of theming that they can get. While some sites will see a reduction. All of Q&amp;amp;A (Enterprise, Teams, etc) will standardize on this new theming scheme.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307862/ch-ch-ch-changes-left-nav-responsive-design-themes&quot;&gt;Ch-ch-ch-changes: Left nav, responsive design, &amp;amp; themes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Next steps&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Schedule&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Early July: Collect and respond to feedback from this post&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Late July: Update the site&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Feedback&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please review the mockups and feel free to provide constructive feedback in answers below.

It was not just a matter of not correcting all the grammatical errors in this particular case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a side note, suggested edits also need to be substantive. So, for example, if the only issue with a post is the typo &lt;em&gt;&quot;teh&quot;&lt;/em&gt; (should have been &lt;em&gt;&quot;the&quot;&lt;/em&gt;), a suggested edit to fix that will be rejected. (The underlying reason has to do with wasting reviewers' time and bumping the question to the top of the Questions Page, as explained further down.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you reach 2000+ reputation, though, the rules change. As edits are no longer reviewed, trivial edits are allowed. However, as the question is still bumped, you should try to limit the trivial edits to questions with recent activity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I think one of the problems is, that the goals/rules of reviewing are not defined very well in the help center. The term &quot;make it significantly better&quot; is very subjective which makes it a very bad guideline for newcomers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You are totally and absolutely right! The rules/goals of reviewing are neither available in one specific location, nor are they clear. They are also &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; subjective (and understandably so for a self-moderated site).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best advice I can give is to check your history for rejected edits and even non-unanimous approvals to learn what is acceptable. (There are differences even among the different &quot;stacks&quot; in the Stack Exchange network.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only other rules of thumb I can offer are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Always split a wall of text into paragraphs.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Always improve &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; the grammar. (If you are neither fluent in English, nor have an excellent grasp of its grammar, you are at a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;severe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; disadvantage, and it might be best not to edit any posts where grammar is more than a minor issue.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inlining screenshots/images should be safe even if there are no other issues to fix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ditto for formatting code blocks.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Avoid edits that just add back-tick formatting and &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;kbd&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; HTML tags.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is clearly understandable and easy to read before editing (both &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; subjective, though), then &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; suggested edit runs the risk of being rejected.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;not allowing for a small quality improvement on a proposal doesn't sound logical in the big picture. The ultimate goal is to improve quality of the questions and answers. Beside the organizational issue (that it gets bumped to the top of the list, which is a fault by design an can be changed) I don't see a reason to limit proposals to large improvements. But I could name several good reasons to allow small improvements.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can't allow un-reviewed edits by low rep users as this would lead to a massive spam/abuse issue. With a review system, you can't allow small quality improvements as this will swamp the &lt;em&gt;unpaid volunteers&lt;/em&gt; doing the reviews.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for bumping edits, how are you going to distinguish between a trivial (i.e. unnecessary) edit and a minor one that nevertheless substantially improves a post thus necessitating giving it more visibility?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The simplest&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; solution is to bump &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; edits and rely on a system of checks and balances to allow/disallow edits (since it is already in place for other reasons).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;Though not necessarily the best.

Yes, you changed the title to a complete grammatically correct question, but was it unclear or ambiguous to begin with? Not really as it was succinctly stating the topic of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is also why we have the requirement of 3 people to review suggested edits. Group consensus rather than individual. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many &quot;old&quot; users of Super User and the review queues still remember the old reject reason of &quot;too minor&quot; which stated&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This edit is too minor; suggested edits should be substantive improvements addressing multiple issues in the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Back in the day this was an effective training that we &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be rejecting these sorts of minor edits.

Many still believe that edits &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be substantive and useful and not cause unnecessary churn on the front page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Granted on high volume sites like Stack Overflow edit churn is quickly lost in in the torrent of questions on the front page, but on lower volume sites it can make people wonder &quot;why in the neck was this dragged back up&quot; and leave them questioning whether the change really was an improvement at all as the cost of dragging it up weighs against the benefit of the edit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To address your final sentence&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Trivial edits are discouraged, but that does not mean that you have to reject them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not every user has the free time to click the &quot;improve&quot; or &quot;reject and edit&quot; buttons either.

A single typo may be glaring and detract from every use.  Polishing such a post with a minor fix can contribute value to the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the other extreme, take a garbage post that not only contributes nothing of value, but also contains extensive errors of spelling, grammar, etc.  Maybe it's a rant, or a completely misguided answer.  Fixing all of the English mistakes still won't make it a useful post, so it isn't really an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Take another example, say a trivial question from 7 years ago that was of interest to only a few people and received an answer.  But the matter is no longer relevant, and the thread has been buried and inactive since the day it was written.  Someone does a search on a bad grammar pattern or common typo, looking for posts to polish, and stumbles across that thread.  They could polish the heck out of it, turning it into pristine English, but the thread is no longer of use to anyone.  Is it worth the time of three reviewers to review the edits, or worth bumping it to the main page where it will take oxygen from current questions?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One more example--a question that is closed or on-hold.  Any edit automatically puts it in the reopen queue where five people will need to spend time reviewing the question to see whether it merits reopening.  If an edit fixes things like spelling and grammar, but doesn't address the closure issue, a lot of people will waste time reviewing a question that will have better English when it is deleted.  That isn't really an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Better&quot; should be from a site perspective, not just the text in the abstract.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, we get questions where the author has obviously not invested any effort before coming here asking other people to invest their time responding.  Those questions aren't well received.  If someone is going to do edits that three other people will have to spend time reviewing, the same logic should apply.  They should put in the effort to fix as much as they can of what is needed.

There is a HUGE difference. Disk compression requires you commit your entire disk (or partition) to being compressed, and takes a very long time to accomplish. It also cannot begin the compression process without at least some free space. I would ask you to stop trolling.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This contrasts the technical aspects of the two answers.

NTFS compression can very well be done in specific files only, or specific folders. Just open CMD and type &quot;compact /?&quot;. Or right click any folder on any Windows pc -&gt; Properties -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Compress files(...). I even specified in my personal use case - I used it to compress a single 1TB file in my 2TB drive, and managed to regain 41GBs of space. It's beyond me why would you call me a 'troll'. And apparently you even somehow deleted my comment, ludicrous censorship. This is harmful to the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, we get some germane technical details... followed by inflammatory remarks. Note that by this time, the question had been reopened - so you could've just posted an answer. So a different moderator came by and removed this latter comment as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moral of the story? Try to stick to the facts; avoid inflammatory language yourself and avoid responding in kind when you see it in others - nobody's gonna look at a thread like this and decide it's ok because both sides were doing it, they're gonna just find it twice as off-putting. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1243" LastActivityDate="2018-07-19T22:44:33.860" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Once you have the rep to edit without review, you're free to make trivial changes that you think are an improvement.  But even then, it's still good community etiquette to fix what obvious problems you can if you're going to bump the post.

I don't see it specified on superuser.com/help/on-topic. Many questions posted on this website aren't about problems, e.g. How does a computer restart itself?, which has received 483 upvotes and 3 downvotes so far. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions just seeking general knowledge are fine, because there are many different ways to approach answering them with valid and correct answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But very specific questions about the internals of proprietary software often won't ever be answerable by anyone except an employee of the company that wrote the software. A &lt;em&gt;few&lt;/em&gt; proprietary software vendors do in fact participiate in Q&amp;amp;A on the network, but 99% of the time, asking questions like this is not really productive, because the &quot;answers&quot; you get will be someone's guess, supposition, or opinion (which is not terribly likely to be right) by making inferences based on the outward behavior of the software.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or perhaps rather than offering a true answer, the answer might come in the form of &quot;here's a series of possibilities, any of which might be the actual case, but we have no way of narrowing it down any further&quot;. And this sort of answer might be technically &lt;em&gt;correct&lt;/em&gt; in that the assertions it makes are &lt;em&gt;valid possibilities&lt;/em&gt;, but it isn't a true &lt;em&gt;answer&lt;/em&gt; in the SE sense because it doesn't pin down a particular scenario as being factually correct.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In many cases we have to treat questions about proprietary software like questions about the natural world that are &lt;em&gt;unanswerable&lt;/em&gt;, unless we expect the software vendor to pull back the curtains and give us an &lt;em&gt;actual&lt;/em&gt; answer. While you might argue that leaving the question open for eternity might be the better option here, in case the vendor ever does search for questions about their software to try and answer on SU, these questions are sometimes closed instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In other words, I don't think we have a firm policy on whether or not to close these questions, but you are extremely unlikely to receive a known-correct answer anyway unless it comes from the source (an employee who worked on BlueJeans' code or design). Since we don't currently know of any BlueJeans employees contributing answers to the site, closing the question is one valid way of responding to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One good argument for why to &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; leave the question open, is that you are likely to solicit &quot;bad&quot; answers from non-BlueJeans-employees while waiting your eternity for the remote possibility of a real answer. Someone might have an opinion or make some assumptions (which they aren't entitled to make) about the behavior of the software and write an off-the-cuff answer that, while it might satisfy your curiosity, doesn't actually deliver any factually-based knowledge, and may in fact be incorrect. But since nobody other than BlueJeans employees has access to the truth, no one would know whether to upvote or downvote the answer provided, unless we knew it was coming from an authoritative source.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And even if it &lt;em&gt;did&lt;/em&gt; come from an authoritative source, we &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; wouldn't be able to &lt;em&gt;verify&lt;/em&gt; the answer, necessarily. If the answer provided some testable statements that we could &lt;em&gt;observe&lt;/em&gt; about the behavior of the software from the &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; (without seeing the code), that'd be one thing. But if the answer just explains the source code without providing any way for us to verify it, it'd still be a bad answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to boil this all down, questions seeking an explanation / seeking knowledge should either be about &lt;em&gt;observable behaviors of running software&lt;/em&gt;, and/or about open source software. Let's take these apart case-by-case:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions about observable behavior of running software: This is basically where you ask a question whose answer can be empirically verified by a user of the software, even without access to the source code. Many valid questions about, e.g., Windows (which is proprietary) get asked in this format, where we're able to know the correctness or incorrectness of answers provided by &lt;em&gt;testing it out ourselves&lt;/em&gt;. Your question here, on the other hand, does not ask something that we can go test. You're asking about an &lt;em&gt;algorithm&lt;/em&gt; which can be literally anything. We can all see the participant numbers on our BlueJeans software, but we don't know how that number is being derived, and anyone can only guess.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions about open source software: Because open source software provides access to the code, it doesn't &lt;em&gt;matter&lt;/em&gt; if the question &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; about the innards of the software, because someone can always go download the code, read it, and give you a factual answer based on their understanding of the code (the behavior of code is &lt;em&gt;objective&lt;/em&gt;, meaning there's only one correct way to interpret any sequence of code). So in this case, knowledge-seeking questions are not limited to ones about the outward observable behavior of the software, because anyone can go grab the code.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's this third case where the software is closed-source/proprietary and asking about the internals, where we're inclined to close it, especially when we have no prior knowledge of anyone from that company participating on SU, and where we expect that answers from non-employees are likely to be incorrect (and furthermore, even an answer from an employee would just be &quot;taking their word for it&quot;, because we couldn't independently verify the answer, more likely than not).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose, with great, great difficulty, one could eventually derive some sort of empirical formula for participant count by all manner of environmental data until they pinned down several independent variables that, combined together, produce some sort of equation for deriving the number of participants. But to come up with this sort of answer would basically be akin to Isaac Newton deriving the formula for the acceleration due to gravity. You would have to test probably hundreds of different scenarios, plot them on a graph, and eventually try to work out some &lt;em&gt;apparent&lt;/em&gt; formula for the algorithm.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess, if you really want someone to try and do that, that would be the only answer &lt;em&gt;I'd&lt;/em&gt; accept, outside a direct answer from an employee of BlueJeans that includes a code snippet of the algorithm. And in that case I suppose we could justify reopening the question. But a correct empirical answer would basically have to read something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I ran a series of 100 meetings over two months using BlueJeans and actual known participant numbers ranging from 2 to 30. I captured environmental data such as the actual video contents, number of people on the teleconference line, and whether they're muted or unmuted. Based on my observation, BlueJeans seems to know when people connect to the teleconference by phone because it detects their connection to the meeting that way. So the participant count is derived from those joining the room using the software, plus those who've dialed into the audio teleconference number. I didn't find any difference in the participant count estimate based on whether folks were muted, unmuted, or talking. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's kind of funny, because the real world outside of software (e.g., in the physical sciences) doesn't have &quot;source code&quot; we can just go read. So when someone wants to determine truths about the real world, we have to do actual &lt;em&gt;research&lt;/em&gt; like this, by conducting experiments, making observations, and then making inferences from those observations about what equations &lt;em&gt;seem to fit the data&lt;/em&gt;. That's sort of what you'd be asking of an answerer here, unless, again, they were the software equivalent of &quot;God&quot; (or the creator, however you wish to refer to them/it/him/her) and could provide an authority on the matter based on the objective truth revealed by the source code.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And normally I would laud any attempts to perform original research, either in the physical sciences or in software. But I don't think that serious experimental research like this really belongs on SU, especially when the topic of the research is just observations about the behavior of proprietary software, which, in the end, is just a human-crafted contraption that &lt;em&gt;has&lt;/em&gt; an objective truth about its behavior -- we just don't have access to it because it's proprietary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the long and winding answer; it's an interesting question and I don't think there's any hard and fast rule that I'm happy with here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="144607" LastEditorUserId="144607" LastEditDate="2018-07-23T09:10:13.183" LastActivityDate="2018-07-23T09:10:13.183" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

To be clear, I issued a downvote against the revision 8 of your answer, any other improvements you made to your answer I wasn't aware of.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/btJnw.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/btJnw.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then saw that within a very short amount of time the author submitted their own answer to their question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/o1Zdw.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/o1Zdw.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I am looking at two different answers at this point, and they both suggest a similar method, but entirely different character codes are suggested.  So only one of those is actually the correct answer, and only one worked for the author, and so I went with the author's solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to how to improve the question, even in its current revision, I would expect not only the correct character code to be suggested (in the context of the author), but an explanation and perhaps a resource to determine the character code for the font being used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for other reasons like &amp;quot;it is incorrect from a technical point of view&amp;quot;, didn't really play a part, it was entirely based on the fact you suggested the incorrect character code to the author.  The fact your answer was accepted does not play any factor in my determination when I try to put myself in the author's shoes and decide if I believe the question would be helpful to me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I am trying to determine if an answer is helpful, I attempt to determine if the answer, solves the author's question (first and foremost).  I am not (personally) interested in what works for the person writing the answer (unless it's the same user who asked the question).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the downvoter did not leave any comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You asked me not to interact with you, so I avoided leaving a comment, and hoped you would improve the answer on your own.  Which brings me to an additional point, I actually downvoted the author's answer, instead of upvoting it.  If the character code depends on the font being used, I would expect at the very least, to be told which font to use.  So if I were to have the same problem, I could switch my system font to that font, and be able to input the password that contained that character into the password field.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It wouldn't be difficult to tell me which font, it appears it only requires a Unicode font, based on my own research.  So based on the research I performed, it appears the answer that indicated that ALT+2309 while correct, actually requires even more steps to perform to actually use it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/2Ui1q.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/2Ui1q.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2309/index.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Unicode Character 'RIGHT CEILING' (U+2309)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/FYPUI.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/FYPUI.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I was wondering how to improve answer?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You already did improve it.

The top voted answer states that we should allow tablet questions where those tablets run a &quot;real&quot; generic operating system. iOS and Android devices are off topic by the criteria established there, as would be their hardware. Windows on Arm is allowed because the OS shares a lot of functionality with the &quot;full&quot; version of Windows and require the same solutions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We also allow Raspberry Pi questions where the problems are about using Linux on it. It &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; essentially an Arm Linux computer and as such the OS is on topic, but none of the hardware is replaceable or generic. There is nothing &quot;field servicable&quot; about the hardware and any relevant information on it is available on the product website.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Continuing in that vein...

That has consistently been treated as not a tag topic.  The gist of the logic is that the site focuses on technical issues.  If someone has a technical problem to solve and cost is a constraint or criterion, they can add that to the description in the question.  Our subject matter experts are experts on the technical topic, not experts primarily in cost.  So cost, as a &lt;strong&gt;consideration&lt;/strong&gt; in a technical issue, isn't excluded if the subject of the question is the technical issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But what if cost is the technical issue?

A subject-matter expert would be able to say whether one thing might be more difficult (or effectively cost more) than another way while keeping it within the context of how computers generally work. It can be kept reasonably focused and &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; too broad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Asking &lt;em&gt;why some complicated thing costs so much&lt;/em&gt; probably will be too broad. It can depend on a lot of things that have nothing to do with the device in front of you, including human factors such as supply and demand. It would be hard to keep a question of that sort focused and &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt; be too broad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those two examples sound quite similar I will admit, but there is a fine line distinguishing them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To me your last point is the key one.

It says that the site is focused on problem solving.  Its guidance:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Avoid asking subjective questions where there is no actual problem to be solved.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on that, cost is not a problem to be solved on this site.  That was easy -- cost questions are off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the community often makes exceptions for questions that are not actually problem solving.  But if a question is allowed as an exception, that means that it is on a case-by-case basis, and not covered by official guidance.  To avoid closure, it can't violate any of the closure reasons.  Beyond that, it's a community decision; it's on-topic if the community says it's on-topic.  In other words, we can't create (or document) guidance that governs exceptions.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So is there anything we can do to help users who want to ask a cost question?  We can only try to understand the community expectations, and try to satisfy those.  That isn't always easy because community expectations include differences of opinion on many things.  Whether or not an exception is made is somewhat of a crapshoot. There's no formula for an exception.  The closer you are to being on-topic, and the more people who think so, the better your odds for an exception.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what can we do to improve the chances for an exception?  For one, we can observe the characteristics that seem to be common to successful exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some cases, what seems like a semi-off-topic question attracts an exceptional answer, and the answer is the reason the community keeps the question.  In a similar vein, the question may tickle the interest of a wide audience and attract some answers that people find interesting.  A good response to a question influences the community's perception of its value and whether to keep it around.  Those situations are a matter of luck, so there's no advice we can offer there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Successful exceptions often have these characteristics (not a comprehensive list):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question directly supports an on-topic, problem solving subject.  For example, the answer will help to understand the subject -- why and how things work; perhaps allowing the OP to answer some of their own questions.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The answer is fully within the purview of the site's subject matter experts (SMEs).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The answer is verifiable (e.g., publicly available sources)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is likely to help other readers.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question has lasting value; it isn't something transient, and the answer won't quickly be out-of-date.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;For cost questions, the question doesn't seem limited to supporting a purchase decision.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question is high quality and is likely to attract high quality answers.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can't predict the odds of an exception being made for a specific question.  But here are some hypothetical examples; we can look at how some voters might view them, and some of the aspects they might consider when weighing whether to make an exception:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found item X for price P.  Is that too expensive?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This is a request for purchasing advice and off-topic for all the reasons those are off-topic.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does it cost more to produce a CPU than RAM?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This is a technical question and answerable within the purview of our SMEs.  It's general background information that's useful to understand if you work with computers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does it cost more to buy a CPU than a RAM module?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This is asking about pricing, not cost.  Worded this way, it is less on-topic because pricing gets into factors outside the purview of our SMEs.&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does professional equipment cost more than consumer equipment?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This is driven by factors known to our SMEs.  Those factors are important to understand when assembling a system, which is an on-topic subject.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does a brand X consumer widget cost more than a brand Y consumer widget?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;If the only variable is brand, this would seem to relate only to a purchase decision (off-topic).  It is also open-ended and the brand focus is likely to attract opinion-based answers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;XYZ gadget is expensive; ABC gadget is inexpensive but performs a similar function.  What benefits do you gain with XYZ; when is XYZ required because ABC is not suitable?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This could easily be too broad or appear to be a purchase recommendation, but it could be made a focused question.  In that case, it's a request for technical information, and the kind of information that would be applied to a technical problem.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is the XYZ gadget so much more expensive than the ABC gadget?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;This is open ended, not clearly a technical question, not clearly within the purview of our SMEs, and it isn't apparent how this information supports an on-topic subject.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why does the XYZ gadget cost so much?&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;It costs what it costs.  Knowing why it costs what it costs doesn't help solve a technical problem.  It's an open-ended question, and it isn't clear that the answer is entirely within the purview of our SMEs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;However, the question could be framed differently, as a technology question.  In that case, understanding how it works and why that technology is expensive is a lot closer to on-topic.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, some of these questions would be more likely than others to get an exception.  A big part of that is how they're framed.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Translation: avoid the closure issues, and frame the question in a way that makes it easy to recognize its value to a general audience and its connection to an on-topic subject.  In the words of an old song, &quot;you got to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.&quot;  That's not very specific advice, but I'm not sure we can do better than that.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2018-07-30T17:25:04.403" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Some things will take getting used to, but one item is a confusing placement.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question title is essentially in a box.  The Ask Question button is inside the same box.  That isn't a big problem with a short title.  But with a long title, the Ask Question button becomes part of the title.  Here's an example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NixuM.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/NixuM.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The title reads: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Converting non-numeric date to individual month,day, year components, and combining &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/askquestion&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;askquestion&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;askquestion&lt;/a&gt; into one cell as datevalue&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is a disservice to questioners, and makes the button harder to find when there is a long title.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Suggestions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The site control buttons that have nothing to do with the thread should be clearly separate from the thread content.  A better placement would be in the site title bar, centered over the question &quot;column&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another option: since someone seems convinced that the logical place for site navigation is in a big honking column eating the left side of the screen and always visible, stick it there.  The Ask Question button is site navigation and should logically be in the place where site navigation is located.  It will always be visible, and as a button, will be even more visible than the text links.  And since it floats, it won't be out-of-sight, out-of-mind when newbies get the urge to post a new question as an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another alternative: everything in the thread is contained in the center column, except for the title.  The title fills a space that also serves as a heading for the right-most column.  That column has a list of thread-related posts in it, but buried within unrelated site content.  If thread-related content is going to be in the right column, it should logically be at the top, right under the thread statistics, as the first thing you see.  People are often unaware that it's even there because it's surrounded by unrelated content.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, separate the center and right columns with a vertical rule, similar to what separates the navigation links on the left.  The left column is wider than it needs to be, so the extra space for the rule can be taken from there.  Run the rule all the way to the top of the box containing the title.  Confine the title to the space over the center column, because that's all it applies to anyway.  That will leave the Ask Question button in a clearly isolated space that is readily visible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="932551" LastEditDate="2018-08-17T18:41:38.200" LastActivityDate="2018-08-17T18:41:38.200" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This specific piece of software has always been declared &lt;em&gt;&quot;alpha&quot;&lt;/em&gt; by the creators. That's partly because they're so far from their own goal. The software saw its initial release in 1998. Over 20 years ago. ReactOS isn't &quot;all-but-abandoned&quot; in fact, there are 150 developers/users right now on IRC (Freenode/#ReactOS).  That's 10% the size of Debian. The project has &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/reactos/reactos&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;hundreds of committers on Github.&lt;/a&gt; This month it became self-hosting and was written about in The Register (which turned me onto it), and other publications&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/24/reactos_gets_stability/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ReactOS 0.4.9 release metes out stability and self-hosting, still looks like a '90s fever dream&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hub.packtpub.com/btrfs-boots-reactos-free-open-source-for-windows/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Btrfs now boots ReactOS, a free and open source alternative for Windows NT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.osnews.com/story/30605/ReactOS_0_4_9_released&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ReactOS 0.4.9 eleased&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This seems like an somewhat eerie distinction because it's entirely subjective.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;&quot;Beta&quot; (definition)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't believe people here have an understand of what &quot;beta&quot; means. It doesn't mean anything concrete. Most software is actually on a time-release which means a release only means &quot;having support.&quot; It is not at all a statement on bugs, capability, or infrastructure. So for example, when you release software every 6-months the functionality you get from the bi-yearly release is only guaranteed to be &quot;supported&quot;. It's not magically less-buggy or more capable, future releases often even future beta releases will &lt;em&gt;usually&lt;/em&gt; be less buggy, more capable, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is some software that is &lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt; in beta (unsupported) and never can be released such as &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Debian Testing (610 questions): &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=Debian+Testing+is%3Aquestion&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/search?q=Debian+Testing+is%3Aquestion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu Testing (18.10 is released in Oct 2018) &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=Ubuntu+18.10&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/search?q=Ubuntu+18.10&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Chrome Beta &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=%22Chrome+Beta%22+is%3Aquestion&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/search?q=%22Chrome+Beta%22+is%3Aquestion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 Preview (392 Questions) &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-8-preview&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-8-preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows 10 Preview (332 Questions) &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-10-preview&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-10-preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Clearly, none of this is any different than ReactOS. Or, MAME. MAME adopts a different definition of &quot;beta&quot; from the article from Wikipedia,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The developers of MAME do not intend to release a version 1.0 of their emulator program[28] because &lt;strong&gt;there will always be more arcade games to emulate and thus the project will never be truly &quot;finished.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; Accordingly, version 0.99 was simply followed by version 0.100.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/search?q=mame+is%3Aquestion&quot;&gt;We still have 16 questions on MAME&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So for MAME the goal is total emulation of Arcade games, and so long as any games can't be emulated the software is in &quot;Beta&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Pre 1.0?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And the list of pre-1.0 software on my computer alone (list generated with &lt;code&gt;dpkg -l | awk '{print $3, '\t', $2}' | grep '^0' | less&lt;/code&gt;) includes,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;camora&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;dash&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;i2p&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;xfburn&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;telnet &amp;amp; Linux NetKit (which includes telnet)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;ufraw&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Not-niceness&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, this is clearly an action made with prejudice.

I don't recall even having any interaction with Evan prior to the TempleOS discussions.  A significant number of users opposed the TempleOS threads and discussions got heated.  It is natural for someone to get defensive when seemingly attacked from all sides like what transpired then.  And I suspect that the TempleOS experience flavored Evan's perception of this activity regarding ReactOS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given the potential for this to turn into a repeat, I took the route of posting this question.  There was a large number of threads, almost all his, and I didn't want the appearance that this was personal.  I wanted to confirm my own perception that the threads in question were off-topic via community input before doing anything.  And I posted exactly that in the question to be upfront about it, and to avoid readers interpreting it as bait to have another go at Evan and his questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There wasn't a conversation in chat, just a single statement that I posted, which received no response.  Perhaps it was poor judgement to post that at all.  It was a matter of venting frustration over what looked like the start of another run of threads that I think are a poor fit for the site.  The TempleOS questions blew up and then settled down (and I pretty much stayed out of that fray except for what I thought were a couple of constructive comments).  Then recently, there were four similar ReactOS questions in rapid succession that looked like the start of another run, and I vented with that statement on Root Access.  Not my finest hour and I apologize for that.  To be clear, all of this activity and the issues I have relate to the posts themselves, not Evan. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll try to expand on the issue of topicality and address some of Evan's points.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pre-Release Software&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a preface, I couldn't find any Meta discussion on the topicality of developmental software.  I actually composed a question to discuss whether it should be off-topic and laid out the arguments pro and con.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I was done, the system picked up on some keyword in the post and found several threads where pre-release software was discussed.  That's how I found what I posted in this question.  The issue had already been decided years ago and looked clearly off-topic, along with a precise rationale based on existing site standards.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I rewrote the question.  Based on the prior Meta discussion, I added the proposal to close the listed questions.  That was not part of my original draft.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Closure rationale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not every question concerning pre-release software is off-topic.  What is off-topic is questions related to problems caused by the developmental nature of the software.  That is, issues such as:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;bugs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;capabilities that are not yet fully implemented&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;infrastructure (drivers, DLLs, and the like) that have not yet been provided for&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are expected holes and problems that exist only because the software is still in development.  They are things that would be fixed by the time the software is released, so they are transient issues that don't have long-term value on the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have 11 questions tagged ReactOS.  Based on a cursory look, I identified three that I thought were clearly off-topic and two  I wasn't sure about but thought probably were.  The others didn't appear obviously off-topic to me.  A couple of others were previously closed.  It looks like as of now, a total of 9 of the questions have been deemed off-topic.  Clearly, it is not an attack on Evan Carroll's questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Evan lists a number of well-known products that are technically pre-release and that are not seen as an issue.  Things like Debian Testing and the Windows Previews are pre-release in name-only.  Massive numbers of people use, or used, them on a production basis.  Clearly, ReactOS is not in the same category as Debian Testing or Windows Preview. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not familiar with many of the packages listed.  However, mainstream packages that are industry standards, pre-release in name-only, the version everyone uses, and which are used for production of work output, aren't in the pre-release class that is a problem for the site.  Further, they are close enough to &quot;release quality&quot; that they don't suffer from the magnitude of issues that is found in software that is still developmental.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What about the beta versions of the big, popular packages, like the nightly releases of the major browsers, open source office suites, and the like?  Those are transient, interim packages.  The stable packages are available for production use.  Questions not related to development issues should be on topic, but bugs and other development issues should be off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of the discussion so far is about beta software.  Alpha software is another matter.  Alpha software isn't close to ready for prime time.  It's unsuitable for use as production software to accomplish the purpose for which it is being developed.  There are endless development-related issues that are too numerous to deal with on this site.  It isn't an appropriate use of the site to replicate or supplement the developer's support resources.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Pimp Juice IT brought up the fact that ReactOS has no stable release version on the horizon, so questions about it actually would be expected to have a long life here.  Aside from the fact that it is subject to major developmental revisions, which would limit the time value of questions, it isn't production software.  Nobody relies on it to get their work done, and nobody has &quot;real, practical&quot; problems they need to solve with it to get their work done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is shared in its current condition for the purpose of alpha testing.  People who want to dabble with it are essentially part of the alpha testing.  That's part of software development, and software development is explicitly off-topic.  Even if the people who want to dabble with it don't participate in the developer's alpha testing, what they can do with it is their own alpha testing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Pimp Juice IT mentions using Super User to share workarounds, etc., among the people who want to dabble with it.  The fact is that the developers already have a mechanism for reporting bugs, sharing workarounds, etc.  Most of Evan's questions involved rediscovering bugs or issues that had already been reported, and then reposting the workarounds here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding other exceptions Evan cited that have unclosed questions, the system doesn't catch everything.  Aside from the packages I mentioned earlier, it looks like there is a small number of questions for the others.  Just because they're pre-release doesn't mean they're off topic.  If someone wants to go through the questions and make a determination, more power to them.  The fact that some slipped through doesn't make them on-topic if they're not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I agree with Evan that the policy on pre-release software should be incorporated into the site guidance.  Regardless of whether we agree or disagree on the value of Evan's threads, he spent substantial time preparing a lot of questions and answers in good faith.  &quot;Ignorance of the law is no excuse&quot;, but there is still some unfairness to having a significant chunk of effort closed based on policies that should have been readily accessible but were buried.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-08-13T06:51:37.243" LastActivityDate="2018-08-13T06:51:37.243" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is first because the state of development of that technology is such that...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;bugs are very likely to occur&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;there isn't likely to be a solution to them yet available in the broader community&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;and those working on the technology should be made aware of the bugs so they can be fixed and be made into not-bugs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, the path to the solution is, and should be, through the developers, not here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fact that a given piece of alpha- or beta-tech may be perpetually alpha- or -beta does not change that measurement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However&lt;/strong&gt;, I believe the fact that an answer exists for a question, even if the question is otherwise very much about alpha- or beta-tech and the devs should be made aware of the issue, CAN change our perspective on it, especially if the question is otherwise intelligent, well-researched, honest, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With the specific questions in ... question ... here, I'd say it's possible they be left open because they are specific questions, clearly and concisely presented, and they have answers. This means that the posts COULD be helpful to others experiencing the same issue. Even if there is only likely to be a small handful of people to ever come upon this problem, that does not mean that that the questions should not be disallowed for this reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, there's another &quot;However&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;: While it is good for knowledge, especially &quot;complete knowledge&quot;, where a question has an answer, to exist here if it meets the criteria, there's also the fact that we cannot become the repository for ALL information, and so have to draw the line somewhere.

They assume I'll just know, or that someone else reported. Yes, it can be annoying to get 50 reports of the same problem, but FAR better that than no reports and a load of unexpected frustration when the problem isn't fixed quickly enough. When a developer has an existing bug tracking process, it both falls under the &quot;minimal necessary research&quot; rule here on SU, and an unwritten &quot;do the right thing&quot; rule that we direct people to the correct bug-reporting process.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Next, we don't want to build a shadow support system. If the developers have chosen to use a given bug-tracking system, and we step in as a 800lb gorilla and say, even through basic inference, that we will take their bug requests over here, we are not being a good internet neighbor, and there's the very good chance answers found here will be valid for less than the usual amount of time as an alpha or beta product iterates more quickly in its development cycle than a published and finished product does.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastEditorUserId="74026" LastEditDate="2018-08-13T21:39:21.377" LastActivityDate="2018-08-13T21:39:21.377" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They should simply be a way to draw attention to good quality contributions.  This would get rid of what I believe is a negative motivation for answering a question.

If someone tries to answer, saying &lt;code&gt;Use Acme Bulk renamer with options -x foo -y bar -z baz&lt;/code&gt;, if you then say &quot;I've tried that and it didn't work&quot;, this wastes the answerer's time and your time.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Also I have been told that SuperUser&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;    &lt;p&gt;is not a free script/code writing service&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suspect the reason that David has included that in a number of comments he puts on questions is that we get many, many such questions. It is not to imply that you are of the 'givemetehcodes!' mindset, but that many do. Saying you have access to Windows and Linux tells us that an answer from either might be acceptable; but not which of those you have used so far to try and solve the problem yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The clearer and more specific you are with what you have tried and where the problem arose, the better-received the question will be.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Attitudes and thereof&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is more complex. Raising the issue on Meta (as you have done) is one way to deal with problems you perceive; you can also discuss issues of moderation in &lt;a href=&quot;https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/114/ask-a-super-user-moderator&quot;&gt;Ask a Super User moderator&lt;/a&gt; if you feel something does not hold up to the standards of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You have stated with quite intense language, &quot;I am sick&quot; and &quot;[saying something is off topic] is sickening&quot;, i.e. how you &lt;em&gt;feel&lt;/em&gt;; I would suggest that you could direct that strength of feeling- which leads me to my next point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Super User is moderated by &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or, in picture form:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/JjOae.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/JjOae.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Screenshot showing the info: moderated by you!&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges/access-review-queues&quot;&gt;500 reputation&lt;/a&gt;, you gained access to review queues. Even if that isn't your thing, &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; can assist people by helping to make sure contributions - questions, answers, comments, moderation, meta! - meet the standards set by the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If as you say you feel it is very rude to close someone's first question because it is off topic, &lt;strong&gt;be proactive&lt;/strong&gt;.

It is an opportunity to improve.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those nuances are sometimes lost.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I agree that it is potentially daunting and off-putting for a user when this happens. Someone may put a lot of effort into a question, and that may simply not have translated well to how it fits here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;secondly, &lt;strong&gt;many users do get assistance to bring their questions into line with standards&lt;/strong&gt;; unfortunately, a decent proportion simply don't respond. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/roomba&quot;&gt;Roomba cleans up such questions after a while&lt;/a&gt;.

It is extremely clear what I am asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your post on SuperUser is clearly a question that asks for either (1) software recommendations or (2) asks for someone to write a script for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that issue has now been addressed by others on this thread. I want to specifically focus on this part:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It is extremely clear what I am asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which is the ultimate reason why the question was closed: Your question &lt;em&gt;is indeed too broad&lt;/em&gt;. You are incorrectly assuming “too broad” means you are not asking a specific enough question. You have asked a specific question. But any answer to your specific question will inherently be too broad because there are too many ways to approach the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the option for closing explains; bold emphasis is mine:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem &lt;strong&gt;with enough detail to identify an adequate answer&lt;/strong&gt;. Avoid asking multiple distinct questions at once.

In my humble opinion, the question you posed is just “too broad” and “too opinion-based.” &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding moderators being “rude” I hope you realize something: While one moderator shut down this question in particular, this community operates as a community and if this moderator did not do this on their own, the chances of other members of the community coming by and flagging the question to be closed—and even down voting—is quite high.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FWIW, the quality of this site is based on solid, even-handed moderation. While I myself knows how it can sting to have a question slammed by the community, at the end of the day I realize I always have the option to delete my own question and even re-open and re-ask this at a later date if the need arises.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As long as you take down votes and close votes personally, you will not be happy in this community. Take a step back and reflect on what might have happened and don’t take any of this personally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: I &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1352750/167207&quot;&gt;went ahead and answered the formerly closed—but now reopened—question&lt;/a&gt; and did this out of goodwill. But that said, the original poster shows (frankly) their &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1352669/rename-files-000-001-002-to-001-002-003/1352750#comment2028550_1352669&quot;&gt;ignorance when in comments they stated&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“I'm sure this could be done with some sort of 1 line linux command. I hardly call that a script.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A “1 line linux command” is a script no matter how you cut it! And just because the code can be passed along in one line, does not mean it’s a simple task to create it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To create this one liner I had to look at some scripts I have, some Bash knowledge I have as well as some other answers to other questions online and synthesize a solution. This is not a “1 line linux command” but rather a “1 line custom script” and to dismiss this is not being a coding task is honestly patronizing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, I posted this answer out of goodwill based mainly on the perceived ills conveyed in this meta thread, but seriously discounting &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; scripting as being “simple” and saying it’s not a coding request is really callous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I hope this solved your problem.

My understanding is that spam should be flagged as spam, and should &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; be flagged as anything else and &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; deleted or edited. Presumably this is so that moderators can deal with the spammer before deleting the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I find a post in the Low Quality Posts queue that seem to be spam, I clink on the &quot;link&quot; link to open the post in a new tab. At this point, there are two possible outcomes, neither of which seem to be very good.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The post I am reviewing is displayed in the new tab. I flag it as spam and close the tab. Now I am back in the review queue, but none of the options open to me seems correct. I don't want to click on &quot;Looks OK&quot;, I know I shouldn't edit it or recommend deletion. I end up choosing &quot;Skip&quot;, but that doesn't really seem appropriate either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The post I am reviewing is nowhere to be seen in the new tab. This tells me it is an audit. I close the tab and now I am back in the review queue but don't know what action I should take to pass the audit since, as I stated in item 1, none of the actions are really appropriate. I have found that recommending deletion (which I believe is incorrect) results in me passing the audit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think known spam posts should not be included as audits in the Low Quality Posts review queue unless one of the available review options is appropriate for spam.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, my question is the one in the title: &lt;strong&gt;How should I treat spam in the Low Quality Posts review queue&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="760719" LastEditorUserId="760719" LastEditDate="2018-09-19T17:48:02.277" LastActivityDate="2018-09-19T17:48:02.277" Title="How should I treat spam in the Low Quality Posts review queue" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Sometimes the spammers are clever, and people don't catch it.  So you can occasionally run into spam questions, that were not previously flagged, in the review queues.  By that time, the question may no longer be visible on the main page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Open questions can't go directly to deletion by voting in a review queue.  The voting option in the LQP queue is closure.  So if you come across &quot;real&quot; spam, you can both flag it as spam and vote to close (or &quot;recommend closure&quot; under 3K rep).  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Closure doesn't affect the spam bots.  Spam questions may be bait for spam answers, or may attract answers from unwitting posters.  Spam usually gets deleted before there are enough closure votes, but it's still another path to get it out of circulation if flagging is slow.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But close votes also provide another benefit, they provide an indicator on the question, visible to 3K+ users, and may get the question on the Moderation Tools tabs, visible to 10K+ users.  Those indicators can alert additional users to problem posts to speed getting more eyes on the post for action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Close option is also an acceptable response in the review queue after you flag it.  I don't recall ever seeing an LQP audit that used a real spam question (those tend to be in the First Posts review queue).  But I think I've seen some legitimate questions with the &quot;Review this carefully, it might be spam&quot; warning as an audit.  So spam &lt;strong&gt;questions&lt;/strong&gt; shouldn't be an audit problem in the LQP queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are no flagging options in the LQP queue, so if you find what you think is a spam answer, you have to go to the post to flag it.  And, of course, there you can see whether it's an audit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If it's not an audit&lt;/strong&gt;, flag it as spam.  That gets it into the &quot;spam handling system&quot;.  You can also leave a comment to alert other readers if it isn't obvious spam (some spam is obvious at a glance, and some is recognizable only if you read through it and maybe do some additional checking).  A comment will help other readers recognize it who might not otherwise take the time to dig into it.  But, of course, only leave a comment if you are sure it's spam.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Back on the review page, you don't want to select the Delete or Edit option because we need to educate the spam bot.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Looks OK&quot; might seem like an OK option (you've already done everything you can do, what difference does it make in the review queue?).  Here's the problem.  There are a limited number of places where answers get exposed to flagging by alert readers.  On the main page, everything is posted under the question, so answer content and downvotes aren't visible, and can't alert readers to spam.  It is seen by the readers who happen to view the answer, potentially by 10K+ users who happen to see it in the Moderation Tools, potentially or eventually by moderators, but mainly by people in the review queues (that's where the spam flag sends it).  A few &quot;Looks OK&quot; clicks takes the post out of the review queue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the only real option is to click &lt;strong&gt;Skip&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If it is an audit&lt;/strong&gt;, and it was really a spam answer, it's already gone.  The audit system is just to make sure that you're awake and paying attention, it isn't really about being right (there are endless cases of bad audit examples and logic).  If you recognize that it's an audit, just play along with the game (passing means you're paying attention).  The &quot;correct&quot; response to spam (even though it's the wrong real response), is to click on Delete.  You can't win this one.  If you click Skip on general principles, you will remain &quot;due for an audit&quot;, so you will continue to get audits until you deal with one (probably not the next review post, but soon).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-08-28T17:47:42.137" LastActivityDate="2018-08-28T17:47:42.137" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But when you have a real problem, you realize that what is actually important is competence.  You want to go to a doctor who will be best at fixing your problem.  The best doctors tend to be in demand and busy, so they tend to be brusque.  They also tend to have a stronger focus on the medical aspect than the interpersonal relationship with the patient.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Super User isn't a tech support company, where answers are provided by employees who work in an office with a big sign that says, &quot;Always remember, our customers are our most important product&quot;.  Answers come from volunteers, most of whom are busy people.  They fit helping people and moderating the site into their other demands.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the Stack Exchange has a &quot;be nice&quot; policy.  We try to have a welcoming environment and avoid overt nastiness.  But at the end of the day, it's a collection of busy people trying to solve other people's problems and keep up the quality of the site.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Part of the &quot;job&quot; is dealing with people who aren't good &quot;customers&quot;.  They come to the site not realizing that the objective is to build a knowledge base.  Yes, they may get their question answered, but the actual goal is to add good questions and answers to the knowledge base to help all of the other people with a similar problem, it isn't to provide free personal consultation.  That's a luxury we offer when we can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Such users often don't think about what role they need to play in getting an answer.  To some visitors, fixing computer problems means having remote clairvoyant magicians divine what's wrong, and hand them a fix based on whatever trivial information is shared in a rant, posted with no effort on their part to do any preliminary research, or even type coherent sentences in the question, which is their price of admission.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course not all questions are that bad, but a high percentage would at least benefit from improvement, and are part of a stream of questions that includes generous amounts of examples like that.  It can be trying and frustrating, especially for people who want to contribute their limited time helping the most people they can. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Add to that canned comments for common issues that tend to be short and to the point.  It's an environment that we try to make an efficient process, but can sometimes seem less than friendly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The primary objective isn't to have a friendly forum at which to hangout and chat.  People come to the site with a problem to solve, and come here because this is where they can get competent help.  If people want a solution to their problem, to some extent, they need to deal with the environment that exists here.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We periodically remind users to be nice, but the site is a collection of people.  The people who volunteer their time to help with computer problems tend to share some personality traits that focus more on technical issues than people pleasing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The site doesn't have an &quot;attitude&quot;.  People with a certain personality and mindset gravitate here to provide support.  If you want the best &quot;doctors&quot; to solve your problem, it may involve a little poor bedside manner.  People who find that environment disinviting may feel more comfortable getting their problems solved in another venue.  If they choose to go somewhere else, more power to them for finding an environment they find more conducive.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying we shouldn't always try our best to be nice, and we shouldn't just tell dissatisfied users to go screw themselves and find help somewhere else if they don't like it here.  The environment here reflects the personalities of the users providing the help, and that's inherent in the experience.  It's important for users to understand that and have realistic expectations.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This applies not just to new visitors, but even some long-time members.  Long-time members can notice the environment over time and think we can do better.  They may even run into it with their own posts.  Remember that we have mechanisms to deal with what may seem like adverse treatment of posts.  Just keep that separate from your perception of the site experience, and keep the site experience in perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-08-30T01:09:40.790" LastActivityDate="2018-08-30T01:09:40.790" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Which means I cannot research if more people reported issues with AHCI mode with that particular SSHD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The type of information I am looking for with regards to the SSHD in order to answer your question, is that exact model of the SSHD in the device, something the AliExpress product page does not specify. You mention switching to AHCI mode, which requires drivers but didn't provide any information about those drivers.  Depending on the instructions you used, you could have used drivers that are incompatible with Windows 10, but nobody reading your question could confirm that fact.  There are several AHCI controllers on the market, if you had indicated which one the device had, people might have suggested using a more recent driver.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are also upwards of 8 grammatical mistakes that Grammarly has flagged.  While they are small issues, when combined with no specifics about SSHD, and the extremely wordy narrative and you have yourself a candidate for a contribution that should be improved.  You also tagged the question, with the Ubuntu tag, which has little to do with your actual question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I can understand this answer being downvoted but the only question I have asked was also downvoted almost at the same time?

The problem was that the videos played sideways (only) in the DVD player (an off-topic device), due to a shortcoming of that device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A computer was used to burn the DVD. That was done correctly - the data on the DVD is readable and a faithful reproduction of the source files.  So the computer did its job and is not the source of the problem.  The files could have been transferred to the DVD player by other means that didn't involve the computer and the result would have been the same.  The entirety of the problem lies with the DVD player.  The fact that the computer was used to transfer the files to different media doesn't make its role germane to the problem. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem begins and ends with the DVD player.

The phone was just the source of the files.  The objective was to get the files onto DVDs that would be viewable by others.  That process took place using a computer, and the OP was looking for a computer-based solution.  The OP's process failed to achieve the desired result of producing universally viewable DVDs.  That is an on-topic problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Analysis of the issue indicates that the problem lies with the ability of the DVD player (an off-topic device if that was the only hardware).  That observation could potentially be the basis for an answer, although it doesn't necessarily rule out being able to produce a usable DVD on the computer by altering the OP's process.

For example, a question can't request a software recommendation, but software can be recommended as a solution.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If, in the example here, the OP was trying to go directly from a phone to a DVD player, that whole process would be off-topic.  An answer could be to inject a computer into the process to solve it, but as covered above, the potential answer doesn't affect whether the question is on-topic.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We might anticipate that the problem can be fixed only by doing something to the DVD player.  We don't know that for sure, and closure on that basis would preclude getting an answer with a computer-based solution.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Potential answers (or comments) could be: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I think the only solution is modifying the DVD player, and we can't help with that because it is out-of-scope.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Based on yakkity-blah authoritative source, the only solution would be to modify the DVD player in a fundamental way, which cannot be done, so sorry, there's no solution to the problem.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But such answers are acceptable, and don't make the question off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Absence of a computer would disqualify the question, but the presence of a computer doesn't guarantee that the question is on-topic.&lt;/strong&gt;  The fact that a computer is involved in the OP's process means that it isn't off-topic as not involving a computer, but that, alone, isn't enough to make it on-topic; that only gets it consideration.  Other context in the question determines whether it's on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The DVD player doesn't make it off-topic.&lt;/strong&gt;  Even though that's where the symptom appeared, and even if the computer didn't actually contribute to the symptom, that, alone, doesn't make the question off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What does it depend on?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The OP's process, hardware, and symptoms are just the history that brought us to the question.  What drives whether or not the question is on-topic is the question -- what is the OP asking us to help them do?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is this, it is off-topic: &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Having described the history, I know that the problem is with the DVD Player.  How do I fix the DVD player so it will properly play the videos?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is this, it is on-topic:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What can I do on the computer to diagnose the issue and/or produce DVDs that will play properly on the DVD player?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this question, the OP wasn't specific.  They just wanted the problem solved.  So how do we determine whether or not it's on-topic?  We can approach it like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking generally, the question would be on-topic if the OP was looking for a computer-based solution, and the OP didn't request an off-topic solution; they just want a solution.  We can help with one but not the other, so why not pursue the path we can help on?  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;But specific to the particulars of this question, the OP's stated goal wasn't to play videos on the DVD player, it was to share the videos with others.  Using DVDs was just one way to share large files.  The DVD player happened to be a test bed to verify that the DVDs worked.  The symptom raised the question of whether the DVDs might also mess up on other equipment that might be used to view them.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem wasn't necessarily limited to the DVD player, so a solution of fixing the player wouldn't even solve the problem.  That being the case, the fact that it would be off-topic isn't a relevant criterion.  A solution might actually be just to tell the friends to view the videos on their computer rather than other equipment.  Problem solved with a zero tech solution.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question can be edited to better focus it as on-topic.  Rather than just leave it up in the air and subject to interpretation, add a request for an on-topic solution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How can I diagnose the file incompatibility issue, and is there a way to modify the file on the computer to make it compatible with a DVD player?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the biggest take-away from the question is not so much the answer of why it is or isn't on-topic, but why it led to opposite viewpoints.  The question didn't actually ask a question or request a specific action or result.  It just stated an unexpected history.  Readers extrapolated and filled in the blank for themselves after picking up on different aspects of what was reported.  What we each saw was completely consistent with the facts as we read them, so our positions seemed obvious and correct, and we never noticed that the question was missing a question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-08-31T17:01:53.383" LastActivityDate="2018-08-31T17:01:53.383" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

(Sandboxing?)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to understand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, I already edited the question in an attempt to comply with the problem. See bellow for more details.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, my question: what is too broad about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1357286/how-to-protect-my-files-against-application-sandboxing&quot;&gt;my other question&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The core of the question is &quot;how to deny access to certain files to an application&quot; and &lt;em&gt;everything else&lt;/em&gt; is supposed to explain it: what exactly I'm trying to solve, in which situations and environment I want to do it, what research I did, etc. - in other words, it's an attempt to make myself clear, not to ask something more. As I wrote, the core itself is &quot;to block file access&quot;, nothing more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried to reduce the question as much as possible, but I'm still interested in &lt;strong&gt;what did I wrong&lt;/strong&gt;. I don't know whether you have access to edit history of my question (it's the oldest edit), so just in case, I copy the original question here;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Copy of my original question; it's for reference only and I'm not trying to ask this question in meta:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Short question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How can I protect my files against different application? By &quot;protect&quot;&#xA;  I mean against access, read, write and execute.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;System&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Xubuntu 64bit (currently 16.04, want to upgrade to 18.04)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More elaborated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Every day, I use lots of applications, both open source and binary&#xA;  blobs - Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, Unity 3D (game engine, not DE),&#xA;  Dropbox, games, wine (!), and many, many more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I do trust these applications to do what they advertise and that they&#xA;  don't do something malicious in an obvious way. But I don't trust them&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;completely&lt;/em&gt;. A bug happens. One untrustworthy person added some backdoor. Anything can happen. And all of these applications have full&#xA;  access to all my files (contacts, KeePass database, photos, ...) and&#xA;  to network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So if I trust them &lt;em&gt;partially&lt;/em&gt;, I would like that they have only&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;partial&lt;/em&gt; access to my data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What kind of problem I want to solve?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I use ssh for deployment of some things. I use keys, because it's&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;convenient&lt;/em&gt; and many articles claims that this is &lt;em&gt;safer&lt;/em&gt; than using password. But the key is just stored on disk, just sitting there,&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;available to every. single. application. and. game. I. use.&lt;/em&gt; Some say the key should be password protected - OK, but what prevents any&#xA;  application to upload it anyway and then someone just brute-force&#xA;  crack it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So I focused on this - how can I protect the ssh key against any&#xA;  application which doesn't need it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Later, I realized the problem is much bigger. I wanted to try Discord,&#xA;  but then I found it sets status to indicate &lt;em&gt;which game I'm playing&lt;/em&gt;.&#xA;  &lt;em&gt;By default&lt;/em&gt;. As I wrote earlier - I &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; trust the application, but only &lt;em&gt;partially&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What solutions I found so far?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;AppArmor - seems like what I'm looking for. But it works on&#xA;  root/system level, and I couldn't find a way how to use it in user&#xA;  space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Sandboxing - on first look, it seems - again - like what I'm looking&#xA;  for. Except (almost) all answers to other people asking for this are:&#xA;  &quot;it's unreliable, use virtualization instead&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Virtualization - one, or two applications, OK. But is standard PC able&#xA;  to handle about 10-20 virtual systems? Just running one Windows XP in&#xA;  VirtualBox (I have one piece of HW which is not working in Linux nor&#xA;  newer Windows) takes almost half of resources.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Separate user accounts on PC - it's really inconvenient. It would be&#xA;  nice, for example, to separate into at least &quot;development/work&quot; and&#xA;  &quot;free time&quot; accounts. But it's not much usable for me;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;There are apps which I don't completely trust, but use in both cases (Firefox, Thunderbird, Skype, Discord, Dropbox, ...)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Double desktop configuration&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;I also use a laptop and Unison to sync data. This would make syncing two times more of drag.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I actually already use two accounts for a reason. It's already tedious&#xA;  and so I use one of them only marginally. (And I know that I can&#xA;  ctrl+alt+fX to go into different terminal and &lt;code&gt;startx&lt;/code&gt; to start&#xA;  another desktop session.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I'm not naive. I know that any convenient solution (like sandboxing or&#xA;  AppArmor) is not 100% bulletproof. And especially after last year and&#xA;  cases like Spectre, Meltdown, Intel ME, etc. I'm fully aware that it's&#xA;  impossible to secure the PC completely. I know that only way how to&#xA;  protect against directed network attack is to unplug the cable (and&#xA;  with sound-based attacks, even that might not be enough), but my&#xA;  target is &lt;em&gt;decrease&lt;/em&gt; the risk, not &lt;em&gt;eliminate&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I mean, I would like to try new apps from time to time, like Discord,&#xA;  new game, etc. But I would like to keep it somehow separated from my&#xA;  ssh keys, from contact list in Thunderbird, from my photos, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="943030" LastActivityDate="2018-09-11T18:48:58.820" Title="What's too broad about my question?"

I started some comment dialogue with the OP and got some feedback and shared some resources, and shortly thereafter I decided to submit an answer as per the OP's feedback on my comment suggestion/resource—I was just trying to help and an extra bounty is always nice too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few hours later the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/8672/harrymc&quot;&gt;bounty master&lt;/a&gt; even join in and declares his answer for a potential solution as well so placing the bounty was important enough for the OP and had already done it's obvious job in it's short life thus far.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It takes a hit—a close vote hit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure how to view this sort of history of the question but I believe there was &lt;strong&gt;ONE&lt;/strong&gt; as in &lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt; and as in &lt;strong&gt;only and just one&lt;/strong&gt; close vote placed on this question &lt;em&gt;after the bounty had been posted&lt;/em&gt; and I believe after one or maybe even two answers were added.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A moderator reviewed the question some time after all this too but remember as per everything I mentioned above with regard to &quot;&lt;em&gt;drawing more attention&lt;/em&gt;&quot; and &quot;&lt;em&gt;just one non-mod close vote&lt;/em&gt;&quot; it was as obvious then as it is now that the bounty was doing it's job. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The moderator ended up leaving a few comments with reading links and such; remember though that this was after at least one or two answers were added after a few days of nothing on the post. No close vote, no criticizing comments, clear, concise or helpful guidance—and thus the bounty strategy was utilized I believe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Note:&lt;/strong&gt; No one had criticized the OP even in a comment in a direct and clear way to tell him what to edit and adjust the&#xA;  post for clarification and such regarding the close vote it received until the moderator left these comments I believe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swoops in for the [kill] close&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reminder:&lt;/strong&gt; Remember, I don't know how to review this history detail or I'd be sure my wording was more accurate in this story I'm typing from memory so I could be off some but not too much I don't think—these are my observations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the time the bounty was opened, I believe it had gotten 2 answers and went from at least a &lt;code&gt;-1&lt;/code&gt; to a &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt; downvote wise in 24 hours or less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the time the moderator left a few comments with links and such to the time the moderator decided to close the post, I'm not certain that even another 12-24 hours had passed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, after a question that lingered around for a few days with no community or moderator criticism in a comment and with no close votes, the OP placed a bounty. That bounty drew 2 answer in less that 24 hour. Afterwards a community member placed a closed vote on it and then the moderator left the link comments, and then let's say 24 hours after that the same moderator just closed it with only the same one community member's vote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Corrective Action&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To my surmise when checked on the status, the bounty was gone, post closed, etc. I left a few comments or whatever and then edited the post myself letting everyone including the OP know what I did and how I think this makes people feel, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Community Overrides and Re-opens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few days later, it seems the community has spoken and the post was re-opened and all the comments and such were cleaned up—this is great, this is how this should work, Woooo!!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="510662" LastEditorUserId="510662" LastEditDate="2018-09-20T06:55:34.023" LastActivityDate="2018-09-20T14:48:58.403" Title="Moderator justification and considerations for closing a bountied question prematurely" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It ends up bumping old questions, largely with no benefit to most of the questions, but that's a side effect of the process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The period during which a user is below 2K rep is intended to provide for learning the ropes as to what makes a good post.  Edits to improve posts are reviewed to provide feedback and to avoid bad edits degrading a post.  The system doesn't distinguish edits by their purpose, so &amp;lt;2K users are able to engage in site maintenance kinds of edits, but that's not a good use of anyone's time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tag cleanup efforts can be performed efficiently by users with edit privileges (2K+, and it's even simpler at 10K+ because tags can be changed without even going through the edit process).  When users &amp;lt;2K do it, it creates a review task for two to three users who have the rep to simply do the cleanup themselves, so the cleanup requires three to four times the effort, and doesn't really contribute to the learning process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many reviewers don't follow the questions raised on Meta, so they may not be familiar with the tag cleanup efforts.  If a &amp;lt;2K user engages in tag cleanup, and doesn't reference the relevant Meta question, the proposed edit is likely to be viewed in the context of a question improvement.  For the majority of affected questions, this site maintenance isn't really an improvement for the question, so the edit might be rejected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question Improvement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Editing just to improve the tags for the benefit of the question should serve one of two purposes: help it attract answers and/or help people with a similar problem find answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the existing tags are seriously problematic, we can improve either case by creating better tags, defining them with at least wiki excerpts, and retagging all of the affected questions so the tag's proper use is the rule on all of those questions rather than the exception.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;New tags don't have followers.  A following develops later if the tag serves it function.  So tag improvement is more of an investment than an immediate benefit to those questions.  No matter how good a tag is, if it is not used on most of the applicable questions, it just provides decoration without serving its intended purpose.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A tag can be critical to answering a question.  For example, if the problem or solution depends on the OS or particular software or hardware, lack of a tag is substantive.  Just adding that tag is likely to justify approval of an edit as long as there aren't numerous other problems that aren't fixed in the process.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But if the tag information is already covered in the question and the question is already adequately tagged, adding a supplementary tag as the only change is likely to be seen by a reviewer as not a substantive improvement.  Even there, on a brand new question, if there is a chance that the additional tag might help attract answers, a reviewer might approve it, but likely wouldn't approve it as the only change to an old, inactive question.  Bumping a question so that it can go back to being buried with better tags isn't really an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another consideration is tag bloat.  Many of our tags either don't serve an important tag function, or are one of many similar tags that are inconsistently used.  A new tag even gets deleted by the system if at least one more question isn't tagged with it in 6 months.  So if the edit consists of just a new tag, and it isn't obvious how that tag improves the question, the reviewer may see it as not a substantive improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linked Threads in the Question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The first linked thread&lt;/strong&gt; proposed replacing the Mikrotik tag.  In that question, there doesn't appear to be anything specific to Mikrotik that would affect the answer.  The manufacturer tag decorated the question because that happened to be the hardware brand.  Cleaning up the manufacturer tag in this case is best accomplished by removing the superfluous tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The second linked thread&lt;/strong&gt; proposed adding a tag.  The OP had commented &quot;I don't think it's hardware related&quot;.  So the proposed tag doesn't appear to serve an important tag function.  As the only proposed change, it was not an improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the third linked thread,&lt;/strong&gt; you proposed replacing the [asterisk] tag with [freepbx].  That would definitely not be an improvement, so rejection on that basis makes sense.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You subsequently proposed removing the [networking] tag and adding the [freepbx] tag, which was approved.  That change wasn't actively harmful.  It included correcting the reference to the screenshot, and perhaps the addition of [freepbx] might be useful.  If the edit had been just the tag change, it might well have been considered too inconsequential; but it was combined with a correction in the body of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2018-10-01T01:37:10.220" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Accounts can be suspended for plagiarism.  There are really three better and more relevant questions to ask:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What constitutes plagiarism (a more complete definition)?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should plagiarism be handled the same whether it is obvious/blatant (e.g., failure to attribute), or more of a &amp;quot;technical violation&amp;quot; (e.g., attributed but a non-obvious variant such as listed in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Wikipedia article&lt;/a&gt;)?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Should first offenses (especially of a technical nature and apparently unintentional), receive the full hammer of justice or something less, like an educational warning?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What constitutes plagiarism here?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Plagiarism isn't a simple concept.  A key part of the definition is wrongful appropriation and representation as one's own original work.  So it might seem like attribution and making clear that it isn't your own original work should be adequate.  The complication is that it doesn't apply just to the words, it extends to the thoughts and ideas.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a school setting, students are supposed to learn concepts and how to think about something.  So teachers are looking for the student to express their own thoughts; it is the only way to assess learning.  The student can support that by quoting others, but the objective is to express their own thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that setting (and others that involve creation of original work), there is a large range of copying that may not be obvious to others as being problematic.  The Wikipedia article includes a list of 10 student practices that educators found problematic in their setting.  It includes things like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Providing proper citations, but fails to change the structure and wording of the borrowed ideas enough.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Relying too heavily on other people's work. Fails to bring original thought into the text.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Taking passages from their own previous work without adding citations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The list also includes matters of attribution accuracy, such as:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Melding together cited and uncited sections of the piece.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Citing some, but not all passages that should be cited.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Learning how to write properly, and cite properly, is important in a school setting.  It's also important in one's employment if that employment involves creating original work.  The Stack Exchange strives for the highest level of quality and is very cognizant of fair use and plagiarism, we don't want the site to get a bad reputation or have to deal with outside authors who claim we lifted their work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Handling blatant vs. &amp;quot;technical&amp;quot; violations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, we are not an academic institution.  In fact, there is virtually no &amp;quot;original work&amp;quot; posted here (and it probably wouldn't be considered a good answer if it was because it would be hard to validate).  Nobody gets upset if an answer repeats, without citation, material from the author's own previous posts (even though that could be considered plagiarism).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can argue as to whether some of the practices educators find problematic are even all that relevant here.  My own feeling is that we should separate, and handle differently, blatant and obvious plagiarism from practices that are more in the nature of technical or non-obvious violations, especially for a first offense.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Practices like &amp;quot;melding together cited and uncited sections of the piece&amp;quot; should be handled more like English mistakes.  The same would apply to a large collection of mixed quotes, where there is an attempt at attribution, but not every quote is properly attributed.  If it's discovered, we can educate the poster and get it cleaned up.  If the poster has made an honest attempt at attribution, they should not get suspended for plagiarism.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Matters like quoting too large a portion of a work are a gray area.  How much is too much?  Where does fair use end?  These are, to some extent, legal questions and matters of opinion.  If we provide clear guidelines to posters, we have something that can be known by posters and enforced uniformly.  Without posted guidelines, enforcement will appear arbitrary and capricious.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggestions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Create guidance in the help section that clearly and in detail spells out expected practices.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Most people know that posting someone else's work as your own without attribution is plagiarism.  Perhaps there should be some discretion for handling a new poster (warning and education for the first offense if it appears to be simple lack of awareness), but this kind of blatant plagiarism is what most users would expect to be associated with a suspension.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the poster makes an honest attempt at attribution and otherwise avoiding blatant plagiarism, but still manages to violate a more technical rule, this should not result in suspension, at least for a first offense.  The focus should be on educating the poster and fixing the post.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2018-10-05T04:53:29.987" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

problems!),&#xA;I’m generally willing to click on “Improve”,&#xA;which means I approve the suggested edit&#xA;and then go on immediately to do an additional edit of my own. &#xA;But otherwise&#xA;(especially if the edit actually causes damage; this was not the case with yours),&#xA;I feel that the suggested edit&#xA;is making more work for the reviewer than the editor did themselves. &#xA;In such a case, I often “Reject and Edit”, which is fairly self-explanatory —&#xA;I reject the suggested edit&#xA;and then go on immediately to do an alternative edit of my own. &#xA;This may include fixing some of the same problems that the suggested edit tried to fix.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You neglected to mention (but fixer1234 noticed) that you resubmitted&#xA;largely &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/761046&quot;&gt;the same suggested edit&lt;/a&gt;

removed networking tag and added freepbx”,&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;explained&lt;/em&gt; a little about the rationale for adding the freepbx tag, and&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;added&lt;/em&gt; the freepbx tag, retaining the asterisk tag,&#xA;by deleting the networking tag. &#xA;I seem to recall that I suggested that, because the networking tag was so general,&#xA;and the question already had the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/port-forwarding&quot;

This got me thinking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The downvoters left no answers, nor any comments.  They simply clicked the link to the question, read it (I assume), clicked the downvote icon, and finally left.  I see this behavior very often on this site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question in the post is valid in every sense.  It should not be closed as it meets all the requirements for a question on Superuser.  It is not a duplicate (that I know of).  It is on topic, as it pertains to computer hardware.  It is crystal clear what he is asking.  It isnt too broad or opinion based, as it has a clear and concise answer.  It should not be flagged either.  It isnt spam.  It isnt rude or abusive.  The question is not of low quality.  Nor does it need moderator intervention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this question is not technically challenging, or complex, I believe it is an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;excellent&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; question.  Anyone who reads that question can clearly understand exactly what he is asking.  Based on that question, I was able to give him a definitive answer that he was able to accept.  Other people coming to the site can read that question, see the answer, and learn something new.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So why the downvotes?  The only reason I can think of is that the downvoters assumed this question was &quot;common knowledge.&quot;  Is it common knowledge though?  A user commented on the question with the wrong answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sadly, these &quot;driveby downvoters,&quot; as I like to call them, are not uncommon on this site - as well as others on SE.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What do downvotes on &lt;strong&gt;question&lt;/strong&gt; accomplish?  Assuming the question meets all the metrics of the site, nothing.  Well nothing positive, at least.  The poster of a downvoted question might be discouraged and remove the question.  Also, the poster might be discouraged and not ask another question.  Doing this doesnt help anyone.  The purpose of a Q&amp;amp;A site is to provide answers to questions, which other can learn from.  If there are no questions, there is no reason for this site.  This goes double for the recent initiative to encourage and help new users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I never downvote a question and I think it should be removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to point out that I dont have an issue with downvoting answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="94133" LastEditorUserId="94133" LastEditDate="2018-10-10T15:52:41.163" LastActivityDate="2018-11-21T23:05:57.593" Title="Is downvoting a question constructive?"

And that's by design.  You linked to one of the central discussions on the subject (there are endless other Meta discussions, about the subject in general and specific cases).  The discussion you linked to alludes to why it isn't further codified.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of the SE sites are designed to allow growth and evolution, both organic and through policy changes.  Every day, there are plenty of examples of old questions in the Close queue, as off-topic, that were considered just fine at the time they were posted.  Things are codified in the most general possible terms to allow for community interpretation, and evolution that doesn't require regular modifications to the site's guidelines.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An unfortunate side effect is that what serves as guidance isn't documented in one spot as &quot;the rules&quot;.  It's a collection of community discussions in Meta that provide the interpretation of the broad guidelines in the Help Center.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But to try to summarize the web app guidelines as of now, synthesized from Meta discussions and a lot of time in the review queues, here's my understanding of the dividing line: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the application software is installed on, and runs on, your computer it's generally on-topic (assuming the subject matter is on-topic).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the application is an online service that functions like an application, it's off-topic.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Online extensions of your hardware in the nature of storage, or virtual hosting of your PC software, are generally treated the same as running on your own computer.  Technical questions that would be on-topic for your own computer are generally on-topic; the &quot;business&quot; side of interacting with the service provider, and the mechanics of dealing with their infrastructure, are off-topic.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions regarding a web-based application interacting with your computer or local software can be on-topic, similar to phones being on-topic to the extent that the question involves connecting to or interacting with your computer (issues like moving/transforming data; think &quot;web app as a peripheral device&quot; for a question that is PC-centric).  How to accomplish something in the web app would not be on-topic just because you use your PC-based browser to interact with it.  Questions about the browser, itself (including installed extensions), are on-topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Clearly off-topic examples: websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress (specifically listed in Help Center), Google Spreadsheet and other web apps; topics for which the tag indicates that it is off-topic (and the tag wiki excerpts can educate about the rules underlying them); questions about how to use web-based services, like search engines, from your browser&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Gray area example: Office 365 Online version is often, but not always, migrated to the Web Apps site&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And, of course, topicality applies only to the question; an answer can suggest an &quot;off-topic&quot; solution to an on-topic question.  Also, exceptions for borderline cases are made at the discretion of the community.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2018-10-11T11:30:17.047" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There are multiple reasons for that conclusion.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first reason is that people will disagree with the definition of &quot;non-free&quot; and &quot;non-open&quot;, so you are going to get multiple competing answers.  While that by itself isn't a bad thing, there is a possibility, they will contradict one another.  &lt;strong&gt;In other words, the question as it's currently written is going to encourage highly opinionated answers.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second reason is that the author has stated a good deal of opinion in their own question, due to the way the question is currently written. It is extremely negative towards the standard they are asking about.  While a little option is welcome, the question is written in such a way, where they already expect an answer to validate their opinion about the standard.  &lt;strong&gt;When questions are written in such a way, they encourage answers written in the same tone, and those answers are often highly opinionated.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I do believe this question could be improved, so it was on-topic.  However, any changes I would make would change the ton and the words the author used.  &lt;strong&gt;The improvements would have to come from the author, narrowing down their question, into a very specific focus.  It would have to be about the current license itself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I think saw similar questions in the past that have been closed or moved to other communities for the very reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finding similar questions closed, is a good guide, to determine if something is out of scope.  However, not every question that is out of scope, is actually closed.  So everyone must do their part in identifying if a question is out of scope, by voting to close the question, or flagging the question for moderator attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Should I vote to close or am I completely off track here? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question currently has a bounty, one that was recently offered, so only a moderator can close the question by invalidating the bounty.  &lt;strong&gt;This is only done when a bounty is offered on a question, that would otherwise be closed by the community, and is an exception to the rule with regards to bounties not being refunded.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;And if so why?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should flag the question for a moderator's attention, for the reasons you indicated, this is the reason we have moderators.

If the community didn't agree with you, then the question remains open, if the community does agree with you then the question is closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Either way, the proper course of action will happen, which is something everyone wants.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastActivityDate="2018-10-11T18:20:35.620" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The only case I might not include the version in my question is when I actually tried solving the same problem on a different version and failed. But even then I do it because the answer might be  - or might have to be  - version specific. In my experience often I end up asking the OP what version he uses either because the problem turned out to be version specific anyway or because I can write a better answer for a specific version. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also think it's helpful for future readers to know the version the question/answer have applied to.

Some topics are much more version-dependent than others, which influences our thinking on the relevance of version information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even with versions that are similar, there can be differences in the UI, or configuration details, or replicating the problem.  With applications like Excel, capabilities have been added in successive versions, which may drive the choice of solutions, so it's important to know which version the OP is using.  In general, adding the specific version can't hurt unless it's a generic question known to be not version-specific.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We do often get questions that specify version information, and years later, a reader will ask whether the information is still relevant to their version.  We also get questions that don't specify a version, and years later, a reader will ask whether the information is still relevant to their version.  Specifying the version doesn't really make questions any less relevant.  In fact, it's useful to have old questions revisited to see whether there are new solutions.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In cases where you come across an old question (including your own), that you know is still relevant to the current version, it can't hurt to add a comment to indicate that, or even edit the question to add a supplementary note saying that it is still applicable at version X.  Similarly, if you know that it is no longer applicable to current versions, and that isn't already discussed, you can add a comment or edit.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People sometimes post an answer stating that the problem can be solved by installing the current version.  If the question was version-agnostic, that's fine.  But if the question was specific to an earlier version, that's more in the nature of comment fodder since it's not a solution for the earlier version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question is really more &quot;where&quot; to put version information, and sometimes &quot;when&quot;, rather than &quot;if&quot;.  The tags and title serve to attract the people who think the question is relevant to them and/or can answer.  Note that the tags should be, and generally are, at a granularity where they reflect substantive differences.  For example, we don't have a tag for every version of Firefox, but we added the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/firefox-quantum&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;firefox-quantum&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;firefox-quantum&lt;/a&gt; tag when the code base changed, and things before and after are very different.  The body of the question needs to contain the details necessary to propose a solution.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some reasonable guidance:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you know the the problem is version-specific, use the version-specific tag (only; as in don't also include the version-agnostic tag), and think about whether it would be helpful to include the version in the title (but don't use a &quot;title tag&quot;, like &lt;code&gt;Windows 7: yakkity blah problem&lt;/code&gt;).  In some cases, like Firefox Quantum, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/firefox-quantum&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;firefox-quantum&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;firefox-quantum&lt;/a&gt; tag covers a range of versions, so it doesn't hurt to also identify the specific version within the question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you know the problem is specific to several versions but not others, use tags for the relevant versions (only).  It can't hurt to also mention the specific version you're using within the question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the question is about a very old version that is no longer in mainstream use, especially if no longer actively supported (e.g., Windows XP), use the version-specific tag, and it doesn't hurt to mention it in the question, perhaps even include it in the title.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you think the question might be version-related but aren't sure, use both the version-specific and version-agnostic tags.  Include the version you're using within the question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have no idea whether the problem is version specific, use the version-agnostic tag (only), and identify the version you're using within the question.  Answerers will identify whether it is version-specific.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you know that the question applies to all &quot;recent&quot; versions but not &quot;archaic&quot; versions (e.g., Windows since version 7), the archaic versions are like exceptions; people realize that they were different, they are no longer mainstream, and people won't assume that the problem or solution applies to them.

Many researchers use these things all day every day...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've done a bunch of googling and tried a bunch of URLs that one would want to have work, like &lt;a href=&quot;https://pubmed.gov/1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://pubmed.gov/1&lt;/a&gt;, and none of them worked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A: Use an URL like &lt;a href=&quot;http://p.elvey.com/1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://p.elvey.com/1&lt;/a&gt; - it just works.&#xA;And if you want to know how I did it and/or to set up your own URL redirect (say, if you don't want to trust me) here's how I did it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I had used the service at ebayitem.com in the past, and wanted something similar, but no on seemed to have done it.  I logged into my DNS management system set up a few different hostnames (A records) with IPs of the PubMed servers, and others as URL redirects, to see if I could make one that worked. I found that setting up the hostname p as a 301-style URL redirect to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed&lt;/a&gt; was the best solution, resulting in the shortest URLs.  It works perfectly, and should be stable at least as long as I'm breathing or my business is around.  And HSTS upgrades it to a secure connection.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I set up an URL redirect in the &amp;quot;DNS&amp;quot; settings for a domain I control.  (Technically, an URL redirect relies on more than just a DNS redirect, but most registrars and DNS providers support them, so let's ignore that.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25545022&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25545022&lt;/a&gt; shortens to&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://p.elvey.com/25545022&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;p.elvey.com/25545022&lt;/a&gt; !&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PS.

Notice that there are links to other similar questions in a comment there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is one of those areas where opinion is split.  The original intention of the site founders was that it is preferable for each answerer to post a single, comprehensive answer containing all of their solutions, along with an explanation of when each solution is the best one.  However, the community seems to lean in the direction that it is permissible, sometimes even preferable, to post separate answers in cases where the answers are radically different and self-contained.  Another consideration would be if each answer is long, and combining them into one extremely long post would discourage readership.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I normally combine multiple answers.  Occasionally, I post radically different solutions as separate answers.  I think in some cases, it is actually easier for the reader to follow different self-contained answers that stand on their own.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That also better supports the site concept that the best solutions rise to the top through voting, which is intended to provide guidance to readers who don't know the answer.  Consider a case where someone posts an answer containing a great solution and additional not-so-great solutions, or many clever but niche solutions.  The post can collect upvotes based on the great solution, or different people finding different component solutions helpful.  But that doesn't help a reader know which solution is what voters think is great.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On your question, I posted multiple answers for a different reason -- they're actually answers to different questions.  Ideally, the question should be made crystal clear and then only direct answers to that question should be posted.  In this case, there are actually two different problems that readers may associate with the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I misinterpreted the question stumbling over grammar errors, which I cleaned up.  So now it might be less likely for other readers to land there by mistake with a different problem than yours.

(Or suggesting to the OP or comments author to write an answer, since I don't want to take credit for answers I didn't provide)? I feel like the community would benefit from the question was actually answered by an answer and not a comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my example: the OP did put thoughts into it, and the question wasn't &quot;badly&quot; asked (beside the fact that it wasn't restricted to one problem). I think it would have taken less time to put the question into a search engine then to post it in SU. So I don't know why the OP didn't do any research (for whatever reasons) or just did research on SU or just didn't mention the research he did (e.g. because the sites he found didn't give him the information he needed). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I'm looking at it from a different angle. When I look for different tech problems I often get referred to other pages then SU because they just have &quot;wordings&quot; that fit the keywords I use for my research but don't provide a sufficient answer. So in general I agree, &quot;bad questions&quot; should be closed (e.g. off topic) because they will lead to a decay of the community/quality. But I don't know if &quot;badly researched&quot; questions do have the same negative effects for example if the questions just wasn't asked on SU yet. So I not sure if I would consider a badly researched question a bad question.

The link in the comment provides a full comparison in a simple chart.

As a new user, you're missing some of the context underlying the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Site Purpose&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the site is to build a knowledge base of solutions that can help many users; it isn't a personal help line.  It also isn't &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fiverr.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;fiverr&lt;/a&gt;, where people post a requirement and hope someone will be motivated to develop a solution for them.  It's more the case that people submit questions or problems that other people might also have, that can build the knowledge base, in exchange for potentially getting an answer for themselves.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sample Code Requirement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is not a &quot;give me code&quot; kind of site.  If we provide a solution, it's important for the OP to understand it so they can solve the next variation themselves. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your providing code in the question is not an absolute requirement in every case, but it's requested for a reason.  Asking the poster to make an effort to solve the problem is one way to help them learn by being involved in the solution, and it gives them some skin in the game.  It also leads to their identifying specific coding issues that are more appropriate in scope for a question than requesting &quot;application development&quot;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question Continuum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Trivial command lines and batch files are often provided in an answer even without the OP including sample code.  This is especially true if it may not be obvious to a novice where to start, it could be useful to many readers, and a knowledgeable user can knock out an answer quickly. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the same time, we don't want people asking for free development of a mini-application, especially of use only to the OP.  Those kinds of questions are always considered too broad or out of scope. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In between these extremes is a gray area subject to community discretion.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Considerations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community needs to weigh how useful the question and answers will be to other readers, which is the purpose of the site.  A question that is a collection of requirements for completing a complex task tends to be very user-specific, so answers often won't be helpful to anyone else.  Even if the answers contain some useful techniques, other readers won't be able to readily find them.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We also need to consider the scope.  The intended scope is a single, bite-sized problem that can be fully answered and explained in a limited number of paragraphs.  Solving a single, specific, on-topic coding issue can fit that model.  A problem with multiple, complex requirements may not be a good fit.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition, a simple question is likely to attract a solution.  Something requiring significant development, debugging, and documentation is much more likely to languish on the site, unanswered by the busy people who volunteer their time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another reason complex coding questions tend not to be a good fit is that the answers tend not to contain detailed explanation understandable by a novice questioner.  So other readers who might need someone to create such code for a similar problem aren't likely to understand how to adapt the answer to their own needs.  Encouraging such questions would end up littering the site with single-user solutions that are unusable by other people who might need something similar.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Poor Fit Questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We get questions that are not a good fit for the site -- too ambiguous or poorly explained, too broad, too user-specific, etc.  Sometimes those get answered, and the answer might even solve the problem for the OP.  But the question remains a poor fit for the site.  Those questions can get closed even though they have an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which brings us to your question.  To me, your question in its current form is borderline.  It's not trivial, it's a pretty unique, single-user requirement, but it has the gist of a problem others might share.  The question could benefit from refinement.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Frame it in a more general way to make the nature of the problem (merging and sequencing) more recognizable.  Make the requirements more explicit.  Perhaps the best way to do that is to include a mock-up (visual) of the before and after file contents.

It &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be seen as &quot;too broad&quot; perhaps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I saw your question and thought it might be a difficult one to answer but not necessarily impossible. It is one which depends a lot on network infrastructure outside of your control, of the design of speed testing apps and how they measure and average the values they are reading, and finally the setup and speed of your computer itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Focusing on a speedtest webapp would make it off topic per the site rules, but that's fine because we shouldn't have to, and indeed in your question you used an actual application. Most of the behaviours seen could be attributed to flow control and bandwidth management across multiple domains, combined with some averaging in the application. The problem then becomes one of home vs corporate networking. The site is slightly focused more towards home computers and networking which might be a problem, but hopefully we can ignore that for the moment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, down to bandwidth management and interactions with an app... this is where the question becomes tricky. Why an app shows things in a specific way is a question only the developers can answer. It is also combining a number of issues and is difficult to separate whether the problem lies with the application or the network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why a &lt;em&gt;group&lt;/em&gt; of applications exhibit the same behaviour would point more towards a broader networking problem. Personally I'd lean towards allowing a question that showed repeatable program agnostic behaviour. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What might cause one application to show data one way while another showed it differently under the exact same conditions could be seen as opinion based.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastActivityDate="2018-11-13T08:55:32.137" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Your reaction to which suggests and implies more about you personally than it does about me or anyone else. For christmas sake, take it in good spirit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;I believe downvotes hurt feelings more than anything else.&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's be honest. The &amp;quot;algorithm&amp;quot; doesn't need downvotes and it never did. Downvotes are not a bump down, it's a shoe slap attempt at trying to kill whatever the high-rep community doesn't approve of, ultimately labeling would-have-been-good-questions as pests no new visitor to the network is going to go near. A clique-style way of isolating unwanted behaviour and pruning into being only the awkward breed of nerd fluff we've seen time and time again on forums like xda, cnet and infoworld.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is that un-swallowable throat lump and eventual cancer everyone here is too ashamed to admit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do you know how hard it is to craft downvote attracting content in near-perfect english? Impeccably hard, especially for a non-native of the language. Just as difficult as getting upvotes, actually.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's alarming that unlike scientific communities, curiosities get blatantly discouraged here unless technically expressed, and that too in a manner a regular of the community would express it. It's as if everyone pretends to be a foreigner to the concept of &amp;quot;What is this?&amp;quot; seen for the very first time. As if Google is a panacea and a norm. As if readily available food means the world will not die of hunger.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SU is a dinner table for computer geeks, but one that ultimately pretends to be an art gallery for those who make the cut. Inwardly, this system is a mess that convolutes the minds of even the moderators who try to enforce the set standards here. This is all purely opinion of a devalued community member, so absolute biased remarks here. I'm striking all this out to avoid not only unwanted quarrel but also, undesired downvotes. As if anyone desires any down-pointing-arrows next to words attributed to their name, amirite. &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Easter eggs are supposed to be on topic.&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is reasonable to assume that the intended audience for easter-eggs are infact power users as opposed to shallow users of the application, service or what-be-it. With that in mind, SU supports questions regarding potential easter eggs in applications, as you can see almost all Google easter eggs have been discussed in this community and webapps is actually less active on this front. In the side of coding, SO is happy to uncover suprises and hidden things but in cases where the easter egg could be a slightly intricate hidden feature, it would be best to ask here on SU.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/mG1Oz.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/mG1Oz.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Ready Player One Mashup with Robocop, TombRaider and Nathan Fillion from Firefly&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With this said, to address all easter-eggs is not in the core intent of this community and some tags will be treated with less importance than others. Almost all SE sites have frivolity tags that carry much less weight and probably less number of questions compared to other tags, those like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/recreation&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;recreation&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;recreation&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;recreation-container&quot;&gt;recreation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/soft-question&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;soft-question&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;soft-question&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;soft-question-container&quot;&gt;soft-question&lt;/a&gt;, the notorious and now deprecated &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/homework&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;homework&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;homework&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;homework-container&quot;&gt;homework&lt;/a&gt;, and now you mention, yes, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/easter-eggs&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;easter-eggs&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;easter-eggs&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;easter-eggs-container&quot;&gt;easter-eggs&lt;/a&gt;. There will never exist a community solely embracing &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ready Player One&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; culture to unlock all easter eggs. That's less bias and more fact. Area 51 has probably already tried for this to no avail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Eventually all communities devolve into sticklers, and pessimism has nothing to do with it. It's to do purely with the political nature of authoritarian regimes, sometimes not visible [in the form of] individuals or even sets of individuals but [can be seen] as an unwittingly enforced &amp;quot;acquired&amp;quot; taste by [usually non-reciprocating] decision makers and label setters; one-sided participants most of them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Clarity of question is the opposite of burden.&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By asking to clarify, we reduce the fill in the blank burden for future visitors of that question and more often than not, more clearly help in the specific problem scenario encountered by the OP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/LSA65.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/LSA65.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Star-Lord worth of problems, we have.

Sometimes, the solutions required may be unknown to the manufacturers themselves. Proper description of circumstance and of the problem itself will be helpful not only in getting you a good answer but also in the future problem solving/troubleshooting attempted by other site visitors/superusers. Every detail matters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just consider that the humans here are not as advanced as the A.I. these days to pick on even the most seemingly genuine and easy to figure out intents. We will pretend to be oblivious like swarms of side-character fish in Finding Dory. &lt;strong&gt;Be clear on your intent&lt;/strong&gt;. Guessing games wither quickly for silicon-fused brains. The more effort we see you've put in, the more likelier someone is going to help and help well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Senslessly funless indeed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bonus Fact:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Welcome to Whose Line, where the points don't matter anyway!&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Never feel disheartened by any moderator's dressed-up but more-than-obvious personal attack citing your &amp;quot;incredible&amp;quot; sources [this is a hypothetical not intending anyone actually besides what OP felt on the inside], nor be phased by that binary &lt;em&gt;goodness&lt;/em&gt; meter that makes the world go round in these here neck of the interwebs.

While that may not always be the case, like a movie channel on TV (totally irreleavent analogy against the backdrop of &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; site), we have [let's be fun and say many] moments of odd and unconventional questioning and question answering. And to a limit, such is entertained under the very broad and general in-the-spirit-of-all-that-is-good convention we humans tend to find in almost every massive social group centered around unlocking the full utility of technology and the advancement of human endeavors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TL;DR:&lt;/strong&gt; Easter eggs are good but not everyone likes the tag. So, be sparing and considerate in its usage to keep the perceivable community happy with you. Also, have fun and don't offend black people by asking them to lighten up.

Where you draw the boundary around &quot;computer hardware&quot; is one, and the context affects it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't put a UPS in the same category as an electronic device.  Those are generally devices that have their own, independent purpose.  They become on-topic only to the extent that you are interfacing them with a computer.  They temporarily become part of the computer &quot;system&quot; when they involve computer-based activity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I see a UPS as a more or less essential part of the computer-related hardware.  It's a permanent part of the hardware configuration and performs an important function in using the computer and preventing corruption.  It also doesn't have an independent purpose.  It's like an extension of the power supplies for the computer-related hardware.  So I include it in the circle I draw around the computer system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose some other people might view this differently.  The computer and related peripherals can be viewed as ending at their power cords.  If you are in an area where utility power isn't reliable, you can improve the reliability of what comes out of the wall by adding a UPS.  So the UPS is more of a peripheral for the utility company.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Part of the context is whether the question relates to computer operation/activity vs. repairing a device.  There is generally a lot of latitude for the core components of the computer (computer and its input/output devices).  Questions about maintaining or servicing those components are generally allowed as long as they don't get too far into the weeds and become questions about electronics and electronics repair.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A device that is on-topic only because it is being used with the computer won't generally be on-topic for questions about maintaining or servicing it.  So if someone puts a UPS in that category, servicing it might be viewed as off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For questions that fall in the gray area, you're likely to find examples that were treated differently, depending on who saw them first.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question is about (maintenance) operation of the UPS, so if someone views a UPS as not a component of the computer system, it is understandable that they would view the question as off-topic.  However, the function you ask about is controlled by computer-based software (APCUPSD).  You do link to it in the question, but it may not be immediately obvious if the reader isn't familiar with it and doesn't follow the link.  A reader who doesn't view the UPS as a computer component might also view APCUPSD as somewhat irrelevant because its purpose is to control the UPS, not something computer-centric.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community can weigh in on gray area questions and vote to undelete and reopen (although if a moderator views the question as clearly off-topic, they can overrule the community input).  For what it's worth, I'm in the camp that views the UPS as part of the computer, so I cast my single vote to reopen the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2018-11-29T18:31:00.323" LastActivityDate="2018-11-29T18:31:00.323" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Seeing that the tag had no excerpts but a few questions I wanted to add one so that users can easily see what deluge is. I looked at the excerpt from other software tags, like VirtualBox or Notepad++ which are the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that&#xA;  supports several languages.

It makes it hard to monitor interesting questions, and we cannot close a question as a duplicate of another question that happens to be on another site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the reason the FFmpeg project points to Super User is—I assume—that one of the main FFmpeg contributors for community and documentation is also very active here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Stack Exchange allows different communities to be created, and it's only natural that these may have overlapping scope. There's no reason for FFmpeg to have its own Q&amp;amp;A site, so these posts now are spread all over the SE network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does it matter?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also have to disagree that VIdeo Production and Sound Design are the main sites that people find when looking for FFmpeg problems. In fact, it's probably &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; of the Stack Exchange sites that come up as relevant from a web search.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in essence, for users wanting to find help, it should not matter much. Perhaps there's a barrier to asking questions in a community that you don't know, but overall I think the FFmpeg help ecosystem on Stack Exchange is quite good, and also up-to-date (compared to many outdated blog articles or mailing list messages).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where should I ask then?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a clear distinction between some aspects of FFmpeg that make a question on- or off-topic for Super User and Video Production, but not for Stack Overflow, or vice-versa. FFmpeg used as a programming library is off topic here, but on topic on Stack Overflow. FFmpeg used as a command-line tool is off topic on Stack Overflow, but on topic here.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your question is on topic in a given community, feel free to post it wherever you feel most welcome.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I happen to post (most of my) questions here, but sometimes I feel like another community is more appropriate.

The most it can do is block your IP from accessing facebook.com or any other domains it owns. Just to bring a technical edge in this matter for better understanding, i'd explain how it works. when you open any link (say stackoverflow)your browser asks the ISP for providing the relevant page (a lot of things here like DNS etc but I would keep it short) and then ISP fetches you the page. So there is no way an entity other than the ISP can block your internet. Like I said earlier Facebook can always deny providing the services to your IP by blocking the requests (through firewall) but that won't prohibit you using other websites on the internet. If the later is the case(you are unable to open Facebook only) then try to use VPN services.

To create a USB stick that is compatible with USB 3.0 using the native boot experience of the Windows 10 Technical Preview media (or Windows 8/Windows 8.1), use DiskPart to format the USB stick and set the partition to active, then copy all of the files from inside the ISO to the USB stick.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;2: UEFI (CSM disabled) requires the USB stick to be formatted FAT32. If your stick is formatted NTFS, it would explain the behavior you have described.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides the two quoted links for Windows 10 (and limited to UEFI setup), other relevant posts are scattered as questions with trivial titles on Super User (SU). The &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1391569/109256&quot; title=&quot;PC does not start from Windows 10 USB&quot;&gt;recent post on SU&lt;/a&gt; (found via &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/13507/109256&quot; title=&quot;Why was my question about not being able to boot from USB poorly received?&quot;&gt;this meta post&lt;/a&gt;) exactly reflects the need for a new canonical post for Windows 10.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Following information should be included in the new canonical post:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;the requirements to create bootable media&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;the instructions to create bootable media for BIOS only&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;the instructions to create bootable media for UEFI only&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;the compatibility of bootable media with 32-bit/64-bit, BIOS/UEFI, USB 2.0/3.0 of user machine, which may vary depending on which ISO image was used and the way bootable media was created&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here, the &quot;bootable media&quot; refers to &quot;bootable USB flash drive&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given my failed attempts to install Windows 10 32-bit from bootable USB media for the past few days, and I wasted so much time looking for relevant post on SU, I feel the question I have might actually be the same question that many end users wanted to ask.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not sure if I should proceed to create a new question, or leave to a more experienced user on SU to formulate the question to address all matters above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clarification&lt;/strong&gt;: The new canonical post for Windows 10 is not just a how-to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I am suggesting here is to have a canonical post that would first explain the requirements to create bootable installation media for Windows 10. Then explain how to create one with noted compatibility. That would tell end users &quot;if you create this way, it will work for this machine only&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; suggesting to repeat &quot;use this tool and it works&quot; like the canonical post for Windows 7 we have now on SU. Nowadays, such question will more likely belong to &lt;a href=&quot;https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;softwarerecs.SE&lt;/a&gt; and not really for SU.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope that by having the new canonical post for Windows 10, end users would not waste their time trying to create bootable installation media that might not work for their machine. I had to waste a few days to learn the fact the hard way, before I decided to bring this matter on meta SU here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Above all, can we have a canonical question and answer for Windows 10? This would be a one-stop resource for end users to create bootable installation media for Windows 10 without issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;P.S.: I was expecting the answer is something like: &quot;Yes, we can create one; what you need to do is [...]&quot; or &quot;No, we do not need one because [...]&quot;. But looks like we have divided opinions (upvote: 1, downvote: 1, close vote: 1), which may suggest SU does not really think that we need one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;P.P.S.: I will wait several days for a more certain consensus before giving up on SU.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user109256" LastEditorUserId="213131" LastEditDate="2019-01-19T02:31:22.563" LastActivityDate="2019-11-16T09:35:46.317" Title="Do we need a canonical question for creating bootable Windows 10 installation media?"

This lukewarm discussion with &lt;strong&gt;zero&lt;/strong&gt; meta answer to guide. Furthermore I have to &lt;strong&gt;self-answer&lt;/strong&gt; on meta SU to explain further what this meta question was all about? Seriously. Give me a break!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would like to thank the following users for their support.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@DavidPostill♦ Thanks for the first comment and offer to write the canonical post. Unfortunately, the community on SU does not need such canonical post (yet). We can just hope other end users to bring this matter again to show that we need such post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@TwistyImpersonator Thanks for making edits and clarification. Unfortunately, that did not make much difference on how people perceive this matter on SU. At least we have tried.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@fixer1234 Thanks for your supportive comments. I suppose not all high reputation users understand what low reputation users actually experience in practice. Even in real life, people at higher rank of status will often, if not always, fail to understand the need of common people. At least I am glad to know one that understands well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jan 23: Post-feedback clarification&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;fixer1234: You gave up too soon. Sometimes Meta questions take awhile for people to see them. Already at +9 (+10/-1), there have been no more downvotes after the initial one, and now at zero close votes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on my quick lookup for &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/tagged/canonical-answer&quot;&gt;canonical-answer on meta SU&lt;/a&gt;, some meta posts with targeted topics were addressed within several days. So I assumed several days is enough; turned out not really.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Vote count did not really matter. I am most concerned with guideline to create canonical post; I have a strong impression that SU has a strict or high expectation on what kind of posts are allowed, despite being on-topic. Hence the meta question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;fixer1234: You didn't ask for advice in the question on structuring a canonical thread, [...]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I noted from the beginning:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;    &lt;p&gt;I am not sure if I should proceed to create a new question, or leave to a more experienced user on SU to formulate the question to address all matters above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And I also added in Revision 4:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;    &lt;p&gt;P.S.: I was expecting the answer is something like: &quot;Yes, we can create one; what you need to do is [...]&quot; or &quot;No, we do not need one because [...]&quot;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I could have asked directly &quot;where should I start&quot;, but wouldn't such direct question be seen too broad? So I worded like &quot;should I do A or B&quot; approach.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;fixer1234: [...] and you seemed to have the topic well in hand. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No. My knowledge is limited to how much I have done through trials and errors (or how many hours I have wasted to reach that knowledge).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;fixer1234: Outline what you envision in the question and each planned answer in separate posts here [...]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given that my knowledge is limited, I hesitated to create the pair of question and answer. So I was hoping the outcome of this meta discussion is either:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;meta answer that gives a brief guideline on how should a first-time contributor write a canonical question, or&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;meta answer that simply ask to follow format like so and so&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That would have saved much time, without any redudant comment. Again, this is because &lt;strong&gt;I have a strong impression that SU has a strict or high expectation on what kind of posts are allowed, despite being on-topic&lt;/strong&gt;. So I rather follow the guideline than simply creating my own.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apr 16: Post post-feedback clarification&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking back at this meta post I had created three months ago, what have been explained here remained true to this date. Even without the canonical post, end users only need to find the &quot;right&quot; post (by spending some time to search on SU or elsewhere on web) for a working solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing that I understand better today: I &lt;em&gt;might not&lt;/em&gt; actually want to post about &quot;how to create a bootable Windows 10 installation media&quot;. Given that SU did not have such canonical post, I might have attempted to solve two different things at one time and overshadowing my original intention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/223664/109256&quot;&gt;What makes bootable media bootable? (asked 2010, 11 votes, 2,937 views)&lt;/a&gt; seems to be the closest to my original intention. Both question and answers however, are quite generic and mainly explained for hard disks and floppies, not quite relevant for CDs and USB flash drives, and neither specific to Windows nor Linux. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the moment, I thought of creating a new pair of question and answer similar to &quot;What makes bootable media bootable?&quot; that is specific to Windows. That will be applicable Windows 10, as well as Windows 7 and perhaps Windows 8.1. The Linux counterpart is not exactly same as Windows, so I rather post Linux counterpart at Unix.SE instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This part is merely a post post clarification to revisit my original intention. The proposed canonical post, which I have had given up, shall remain true and will not be pursued by me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I really give up on SU this time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At least I managed to bring awareness; however, no changes to my decision. Should anyone else willing to &lt;em&gt;spend their precious time and energy&lt;/em&gt; to create the canonical post, feel free to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TL;DR&lt;/strong&gt; What I might wanted to post was &quot;What makes &lt;em&gt;Windows&lt;/em&gt; installation media bootable?&quot; and &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; Linux and &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a how-to. The original intention (see Apr 16) has been reviewed again and I have decided not to pursue this anymore.

And with the new year, as usual, comes a new iteration of &lt;strong&gt;Community Promotion Ads&lt;/strong&gt;! Let’s refresh these for the coming year :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What are Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the site's twitter account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;.

In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Image requirements&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The image that you create must be 300 x 250 pixels, or double that if high DPI.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be GIF or PNG&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;No animated GIFs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Score Threshold&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a &lt;strong&gt;minimum score threshold&lt;/strong&gt; an answer must meet (currently &lt;strong&gt;6&lt;/strong&gt;) before it will be shown on the main site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/ads/display/13531&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="133271" LastActivityDate="2019-01-25T07:00:07.437" Title="Community Promotion Ads — 2019" Tags="|discussion|community-ads|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="0" ClosedDate="2020-03-05T10:51:12.530" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

We expect answers to be self-contained, if the YouTube video were to become inaccessible, that part of your answer wouldn't be very helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You also linked to two different resources, didn't quote and cite any information, so if the content were to change or be delete (in the case of the linked Super User answer) your answer would not contain the required information to answer the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most important reason I voted to delete your answer, &lt;strong&gt;answers should only contain text and uploaded images&lt;/strong&gt;, linked videos are rarely appropriate, due to the fact Stack Exchange does not provide an &amp;quot;upload video&amp;quot; functionality.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless you are quoting and citing relevant information from an existing answer, most of the time you should the flag the new question as a duplicate of an existing question, instead of just linking to an existing question's answer.  This is, of course, is due to the fact we're not a forum so linking to &amp;quot;past answers&amp;quot; isn't actually considered to be an answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've never had an answer just deleted, I would think a downvote would be more appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I actually did downvote your answer due to the fact it contained that YouTube video.

It's easy to do in a way that isn't unfriendly. If you want to say &quot;this is trivial&quot; or &quot;your question bores me&quot;... &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS:&lt;/strong&gt; Some folks can be frustrated by what they perceive as a lack of effort; that's understandable- don't let frustrations colour your actions&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Flags can sometimes be wrongly handled&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondarily, people are human, mistakes happen.

We can talk about bitrates and the power of the DAC that processed it, but it still comes down to how it sounds in our ears. Granted, this is the weakest of my arguments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, the question is &lt;strong&gt;too broad&lt;/strong&gt; because, while it does state it is about a specific circumstance, that of storing 16-bit PCM audio for archival purposes, it lacks information on how it will be archived, the equipment is must remain compatible with. It appears to assume that encoding/compressing the audio file itself is the preferred means, and fails to account for file-compression options which are better suited for archival purposes, especially is the optimum solution will be that the file can be retrieved from the archive at the best quality level it was archive at, which would, by definition, be the same file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Third, the question is &lt;strong&gt;seeking recommendations&lt;/strong&gt; for a tool to accomplish a task. It is not asking &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; to compress a given audio file for archive, it is asking us to &lt;em&gt;suggest a preferred form&lt;/em&gt; for that archive. The fact that &quot;highest compression* is stipulated rather than the more obviously opinionated &lt;em&gt;best&lt;/em&gt; is a quibble and not a real differentiator.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question could be modified to &quot;How do I archive audio files with the intent of retrieving them later at native quality&quot; and it would be OK. Right now it is &quot;What is the best way to archive audio files for best quality&quot;, and that is off topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE: Responses to comments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This is the First time I have made this argument on this thread. I used this argument previously in a comment on the post that is the subject of this discussion. But, as is the norm in SuperUser, I do not expect people to go there and read my argument there to get my first point. Instead I include ALL of my arguments here for simplicity and clarity.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Arguments remain arguments regardless of being false or not. They may be invalid or invalidated, but they remain arguments.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Audio quality has quite a lot to do with it, primarily because you specified &quot;lossless&quot; as the preferred compression/encoding type.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When encoding audio using a different codec than before, you MUST give consideration to the desired playback. If you encode the file using a codec that is not supported on a potential future system, that file is useless. Changing the codec is serious business, and due care must be taken when doing so.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Don't assume.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I suggested how the question could be rephrased in a way I thought would get rid of the opinion-based or recommendation-request aspects of it. This alone indicates that I see there is merit to your question and that there is something to it which can and should be answered here on SU.

Then like a sneaky ninja in the night, the OP edited the question &lt;strong&gt;to be a shopping recommendation&lt;/strong&gt;, which of course we all know is a cardinal sin here in SU, as it violates the commandment &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Thou shall not answer questions that could be construed as a shopping recommendation!&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does my answer here redeem the question which then clearly became off-topic?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1363665/pcie-wireless-card-vs-usb-dongle&quot;&gt;PCIe Wireless Card vs. USB dongle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this question, community members interpreted the post as primarily opinion based. It was my interpretation of &quot;better&quot; from the OP's question, that he was asking about the performance differences of the two, and not that he was asking the community which one was better in anyone's opinion. Just look at the wording after better, &lt;strong&gt;speed&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;latency&lt;/strong&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;range&lt;/strong&gt;.

(see U.S patent #US4901307A &lt;a href=&quot;https://patents.google.com/patent/US4901307A/en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Spread spectrum multiple access communication system using satellite or terrestrial repeaters &lt;/a&gt;) &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://cdg.org/resources/cdma_history.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;CDMA History&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The user isn't asking about &quot;how does CDMA work&quot; as harry states it in meta. the question is asking &quot;How do I use CDMA &lt;strong&gt;in individual communications&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; This is further clarified by the poster in the question &quot;unlike GSM that is used in &lt;strong&gt;mobile handset for communication&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;... We can now see the user &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; talking about &lt;strong&gt;CDMA cellular service&lt;/strong&gt; and how a handset interacts with the cellular tower.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Just in case anyone missed it, the paper that Harry quotes in his answer is based of off and listed at the bottom as a main reference: (E.H. Dinan,  B. Jabbari,  &quot;Spreading codes for &lt;strong&gt;direct sequence CDMA and wideband  CDMA cellular networks&lt;/strong&gt;, IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 48-54, September 1998.) Maybe harry just skimmed through and didn't actually read the paper?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;My interpretations of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This could be a student asking a generalized question about CDMA. (still off-topic)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This user seems to want to know how to pick through a CDMA stream to isolate a single communications channel. (this could be someone making a DIY CDMA &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Stingray device&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This could also be someone with a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13001&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;HACK-RF-ONE&lt;/a&gt; or some other Software Defined Radio with RX/TX capabilities trying to make a pirated mini tower for the old handsets he has laying around.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;My thoughts from the comments in his answer&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;It's about hardware technology&quot;. (nope, it has nothing to do with computer hardware as defined in the help section. you are disingenuously misconstruing definitions.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;and networking is in our domain&quot; (only personal &amp;amp; home networking)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;This isn't Meta, so long discussions are out.&quot; (well here we are...) ;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;But saying that a technology is out of bounds because it's not used in home computing is:&quot;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;Needs proof&quot; (Not really, this isn't a COURT OF LAW. Its more like a tribunal, where &lt;strong&gt;the burden of proof&lt;/strong&gt; was on &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; to prove to us, &lt;strong&gt;the people reviewing&lt;/strong&gt; why it should remain open. Did you read the paper in your answer?) I should also add, if you had shown me &lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt; reference of consumer networking gear using CDMA I might have reversed my action.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;Perhaps will change in the future&quot; (You may be a wizard in some aspects of computer science, but neither of us are fortune tellers.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&quot;May be an invalid argument, since we also have company people asking questions here about software &amp;amp; hardware and large networks.&quot; (They shouldn't be ~ for-profit companies shouldn't be trying to exploit a volunteer community for help.

Which really isn't my style, if you care to take a look at my other questions. I wrote this question originally pretty slacked off and tired, but also very pissed. I have to apologize for that, since I myself support SO's policy of keeping questions and answers high quality.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do not have a lot of rep on StackOverflow, but I have been here for quite a while, I just lurked a lot, since I actually use the search heavily before asking a question. Often resulting in me not needing to ask a question in the first place. So when I ask things in a more conversational and non-techy manner it's because I do not see the benefit of making or explaining things more complicated than they have to be. Please do not take this the wrong way. I ask the people who downvoted the question to reconsider their vote if the post now has an acceptable form in their eyes. I genuinely need help with this and being pushed down the algo doesn't exactly help me. I am aware that parts of the original post were lacking information, but if I am not even given time to cater to the comments while being notoriously downvoted to -3 honestly makes me angry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Okay, you ready for this? Here it goes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;If you are going to post a rambling 3 paragraph screed that begins with the parenthetical “you can skip this” and then end it with the words, “…honestly makes me angry.” You are only exacerbating your problem.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reality is even the most complex issues can be simply explained. The problem with your question is your “personal details” are three paragraphs of a demanding, needy rants that are added on the pile of text that consists off your question which—in and of itself—is very unfocused.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Stack Exchange community is not elitist. All that is really requested is clarity and focus.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My advice? Delete your original question, take a rest and then—when you are ready—repost the question with more clarity and focus. And don’t apologize or even reference the downvoted question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FWIW, despite my level of rep I still post questions and answers that get downvoted. It’s part of the way things work sometimes. Some questions and answers I know are valid enough I will leave them up there. And guess what? I get upvotes on those &lt;em&gt;over time&lt;/em&gt; and then it all evens out. The really bad posts? I just delete them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Stack Exchange is not a clique or club.

The help section sort of points people there for clarification, but new users rarely look at the Help Section let alone go searching Meta.  Even many experienced users don't spend time researching what's available in Meta.  To make matters worse, much of the Meta clarification isn't even in our own SU Meta, it's in SE Meta.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a ton of clarification out there (although there are still some questions that aren't definitively resolved even there).  However, there is a relatively small number of fundamental clarifications to common issues that account for a substantial portion of the recurring misconceptions and unfamiliarity.  Summarizing those within the Help Center would go a long way to clarifying the apparent gray areas.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll offer some observations on the examples in the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1410716/two-isps-on-one-network-help-needed&quot;&gt;Two ISP's on one network - Help needed?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not a networks guy so not qualified to comment on the question being too broad (the close reason).  Questions can be a bad fit for the site for multiple reasons, so closure for a different reason than you might have picked doesn't mean the guidelines are confusing; it just means that more people picked up on a different one of the potential reasons.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The issue with corporate IT isn't that it's in a corporate setting.  It refers to matters that are typically under the control of IT administrators and we don't want to interfere with their job or circumvent policies that may be in place for a reason.  Matters in an enterprise setting that don't entail those kinds of considerations are generally on-topic unless they're really better suited to Server Fault.  I had this very question early in my SU experience (&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/9252/364367&quot;&gt;What is the definition of &quot;corporate IT support&quot;?&lt;/a&gt;).  Like much of the detailed guidance, this got explained in a Meta thread, but it would be beneficial to better explain it in the Help Center guidance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1416512/364367&quot;&gt;Is it possible to force a device to sign onto the 2.4g network band with band steering turned on?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The OP clarified the question with an edit, &quot;My question is about whether or not anyone has heard of manually directing a device to a single band if band-steering doesn't work well with it (but works for other devices) without turning band-steering off.&quot;  The question attracted several close votes, but reads like a general question on networking.  Again, I'm not qualified to judge this one, but to me, it reads like a typical networking question that's routinely considered on-topic, or at least close enough to commonly get a pass from the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure it's possible to define things so cleanly that any and every question is unequivocally either on- or off-topic.  The SE network relies on the discretion of trusted users, in a consensus, to decide things that fall in the gray area.  What is on-topic and why is, to some extent, philosophy and culture, and it's that way on purpose to allow sites to evolve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1331836/364367&quot;&gt;Comparing two broadband options (LTE with wireless router and DSL with a wired router)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your answer was well received and the question was closed anyway.  This is another networking question and I'm not qualified to judge it.  Maybe one of the close voters can elaborate on the thinking behind their vote.  But I would ask what kind of clarification in the guidance would help for a question like this?  Some questions rely on subject matter experts judging how answerable a question is within the site's constraints.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1332033/364367&quot;&gt;actual repeater vs router-as-repeater&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This one doesn't appear to be in the gray area, at least after editing.  There are no close votes and everyone seems to agree that it is on-topic.  It looks like this example was included because it seems to have similarities to #3, reinforcing the question of why #3 was considered opinion-based.  I'll have to leave it to close voters on #3 to compare them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1334370/364367&quot;&gt;How to compare two network adapters?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at the history, only one or two readers thought this was a hardware recommendation question.  If I read the timeline correctly, there were no actual close votes (or perhaps one or two that timed out).  This isn't a hardware recommendation question and doesn't fall in the gray area.  A purchase decision was the impetus for the question, but it doesn't actually ask which product to buy.  It describes unexpected poor performance and asks how to compare adapters in a way that would reliably reveal expected performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the kind of detailed guidance that requires a Meta search to find, it isn't in the help section.  There are canonical discussions, like Jeff Atwood's post &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/11/23/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;Q&amp;amp;A is Hard, Let’s Go Shopping!&lt;/a&gt;, which describes asking for technical information that can enable you to make your own, informed purchase decision.  There are a number of such discussion in Meta that are pretty fundamental explanations for what the help section guidance means.  It would be helpful to users to summarize these clarifications in the Help Center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1415377/364367&quot;&gt;How can one use CDMA(code division multiple access) in individual communications&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn't in the gray area, you're spot on -- it's off-topic, and you laid out the reasons well in the question here.  It doesn't need clarification in the guidance.  This is another case where a small number of users interpreted the question as on-topic.  That why actions like closure require a consensus of many experienced users (a moderator = many), and the system worked on this question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-03-29T08:28:58.373" LastActivityDate="2019-03-29T08:28:58.373" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It's a &lt;em&gt;Good Thing&lt;/em&gt; to have different StackExchange sites behave consistently, so that users can seamlessly move from one community to the next without being surprised by differences in the user experience. Also, the SE developers don't have enough time in their day to maintain completely separate codebases for every different SE site, especially since Area51 was created and the explosion of hundreds of sub-sites. The preference is definitely towards giving each site a visual &lt;em&gt;theme&lt;/em&gt; but with identical logic for all the behavior.

What would happen if these edits were not reviewed before being published?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, there are a number of possible bad outcomes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Posts could be vandalized, by insertion and/or deletion.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;New users could change the entire meaning of posts and even make them incorrect or inaccurate.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Spammers could surreptitiously insert promotional or malignant links into random posts.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Editors could introduce new spelling/grammatical/formatting errors to posts that make them harder to read.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;New users could mistakenly use edits to post a new question or answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without a review queue, all these changes would remain as long as no one flagged them or fixed them. This could be very bad for the site's content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Notice that this list of very bad outcomes does not include a user fixing one or two things in a post with lots of problems. That's because the outcome of this is a marginal good, not harm to the site or its content.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While the primary purpose of the review queue is to prevent harmful edits, there is an additional knock-on effect of the review queue as well -- posts that low-rep users have identified as having problems are guaranteed to be seen by at least one high-rep user. Ideally, after the high-rep user has reviewed the post and the suggested changes, the published final product will be in good shape (or will be closed/deleted if the problems go beyond editing). In other words, once a post is identified as having problems, it will be fixed -- either by the original editor, by the reviewer, or by some combination of the two. &lt;em&gt;Posts that leave the review queue should not need to come back for more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, suppose the reviewer has a different philosophy of reviewing suggested edits than I do -- where edits must be complete OR ELSE.

Kusalananda♦, a moderator there, posted &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5319/85417&quot;&gt;Editing questions recently put on hold (don't)&lt;/a&gt;.  The gist is something that I don't think is common knowledge, and it would be beneficial to apply the same logic here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is common knowledge that editing an on-hold post automatically bumps it into the Reopen review queue.  But there are two factors that may not be common knowledge:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;That only happens within the first five days of closure.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It only happens once.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of implications.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The five day limitation means that you can &lt;strong&gt;time your minor edits&lt;/strong&gt; on closed posts so they don't unnecessarily force wasteful reviews.  If you want to do tag cleanup or make minor English or formatting fixes that don't address the closure issue, wait until after the five days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you edit and fix the closure issue on a question closed more than five days, you need to &lt;strong&gt;also vote to reopen&lt;/strong&gt; to get it into the queue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bumping happening only once was the impetus for Kusalananda♦'s post.  If you edit the recently closed post to do minor polish that doesn't solve the closure issue, that bumps it to the Reopen review queue where it will waste a bunch of reviewers' time and won't result in it being reopened.  But that also &lt;strong&gt;uses up the question's one shot at the review queue&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, when the OP or another user actually fixes the post, that will &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; bump it into the review queue.  Neither will voting to reopen the question.  The post will remain closed and potentially be deleted, even though it's been turned into an acceptable question.  The only way to get it reopened is to take external action, like recruiting reopen voters or calling attention to it with a question on the Meta SU site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are going to fix a recently closed question, make sure you &lt;strong&gt;fix every issue&lt;/strong&gt;.  Questions often have multiple problems and just one may be stated as the close reason.  Review the question to identify everything that is a potential close reason, and address them all.  Otherwise, you might fix only one of the problems and the question will not be reopened due to the remaining problems.  That puts it right back at point #3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line:&lt;/strong&gt; if a question is recently closed, do not edit it until after the five days unless the edit will solve all closure issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-08-02T03:36:39.137" LastActivityDate="2019-08-02T03:36:39.137" Title="Editing of recently closed questions" Tags="|discussion|editing|reopen-request|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The link goes to Data Lifeguard Diagnostics but it's labeled Universal Firmware Updater.  In the question, the OP lists having already tried that unsuccessfully.  So that recommendation isn't for a helpful product.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It looks like you may have initially posted your answer before the OP disclosed that they had already tried the product.  But you edited it later and left this in, and it's the first half of the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ignoring that it isn't a helpful product, true, there are instructions at the link.  But there are none in the answer; it's a link-only recommendation (plus a brief description of the product).  If the link goes, the answer contains nothing of value regarding that product.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You frame it as a speculative potential diagnostic rather than a solution to the problem: &quot;It is not specified what repairs can this utility effect, but it would at least be interesting to know if it can detect the drive.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So to me, the first bullet is low-quality padding that doesn't provide a solution and doesn't qualify as an answer, even if the OP hadn't already reported that it didn't help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second bullet is also link-only (plus a brief product description), to a once-removed link at that, and there is no issue (like extremely long instructions) that justifies only a link.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The link is to a general download page for a bunch of stuff; it isn't a product-specific link.  The reader must find the product on the page and expand the product link to see the short instructions.  There is no reason why the answer could not contain the instructions (a simple copy and paste), and the actual download link.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you wanted to leave the current link as potentially helpful other tools, it could remain as a supplement (with a description of why you've included it).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;the second bullet does identify what the product does, and how it relates to the problem.  The image, though, adds nothing but documentation of a caveat, illustrating that the reader might need a USB enclosure. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is it deletion-worthy?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The bar for what qualifies as an answer is pretty low.  A low-quality answer is still technically an answer.  In the post's current form, you're splitting hairs to justify that it technically meets the absolute minimum definition of an answer.  Is that really the bar you're shooting for?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the second bullet was expanded to address the link-only issue, I would consider it an answer, and that can easily be fixed.

If it also involves a network connection, it doesn't matter what type of connection it is, or what related hardware is providing it.  So there's no reason why #3, 4, 5, or 6 would be off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the guidelines try to simplify things regarding a computer connected to a mobile device.  Questions are often considered on-topic as long as a computer is merely part of the hardware complement.  But I believe it should consider whether the computer is playing a substantive role.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is about a mobile device and there's no computer involved, or the involvement is incidental, it's generally off-topic (Your #8).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is about a phone connected to a router and a computer happens to also be connected to the router, it isn't computer-centric, so I wouldn't consider it on-topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the question is about a phone having a problem with an SD card, and a computer is involved in testing or repairing the card, it's computer-centric, so on-topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the phone is having a WiFi problem, that could get into an edge case.  If the computer is central to solving the problem, it's on-topic.  If the computer is incidental and the issue lies entirely with the phone (and router), I see it as off-topic.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your case #7 I don't see as an edge case because the problem involves a phone using a mobile data connection.  The computer is irrelevant to the problem, as is even WiFi. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I see all your other cases (#1-6) as pretty clearly on-topic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the comment, you mention networking-oriented questions, and the end device being incidental.  I don't believe the intention of the guidelines is that the end-device is incidental.  The guidelines refer to &quot;personal and home computer networking&quot;, which I take to mean the intent is that networking is on-topic to the extent that it supports computing and what you use the computer for.  It doesn't limit the type of network, only the focus on computing.  So mobile data is fine as long as it's for your computer.  WiFi for a phone connection would generally be off-topic unless the computer had some substantive connection to the problem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the linked question, a computer isn't mentioned at all. uTorrent runs on a computer, but how does anyone know that there isn't a mobile version, and the question involves just a phone (and perhaps some network connection where the computer is incidental)?  The question describes downloading the torrent file to the phone and doesn't mention moving anything anywhere else.  People shouldn't need to investigate the mentioned products to determine what platforms they run on, to learn whether it is or isn't possible to run on specific hardware.  If the role of the computer is clarified in that question, I would see it as on-topic.

It is entirely enforced by the Stack Exchange system and nothing moderators can lift or affect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should start by reading &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/question-bans&quot;&gt;Why are questions no longer being accepted from my account?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At Stack Exchange, &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/10/04/asking-better-questions/&quot;&gt;asking questions is a privilege, not a right&lt;/a&gt;. If a user cannot demonstrate, after asking a reasonable number of questions, that their contributions are making the site better (or at very least, not making it worse) then they will be blocked from asking further questions until they have demonstrated their ability to contribute positively.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also on that page&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Stack Exchange cannot lift question bans by request.&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is hope though, as&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Does the ban last forever?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're unable to improve your existing questions, you'll get the chance to ask a new one 6 months after your last question. If that question is positively received, you may be able to continue asking questions; if not, then the ban will be reinstated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So take your time, learn what makes a question well received, answer some questions and share your knowledge, be a &lt;em&gt;positive&lt;/em&gt; power in our community and sometime soon your time to shine will come again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2019-06-04T18:17:28.347" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Yes, there are difference between Ubuntu versions but they tend to not be very important. Also, most of them are down to the various pieces of software bundled with the distribution. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, networking changes are usually dependent on the kernel and DE changes etc are just about what GUI you happen to have running. Both of these can actually be changed by the user without affecting the version of the OS.

If these tags were not helpful, it speaks volumes, that a community built specifically for Ubuntu have tags for each release.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now if we want to retag every single question with the version of the Linux kernel, and get away from Ubuntu specific tags, I could support that.  However, that would be a ton of work.  I have a feeling most Ubuntu users don't actually know what version of the Linux kernel they are using.

But there's another key difference that justifies some form of differentiation, LTS vs. interim releases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;LTS releases are stable, built from interim releases after components of those have stood the test of time.  Interim releases are just a tad better than beta tests.  They allow a big user base to find bugs.  A lot of the problems associated with interim releases are the bugs the releases are intended to ferret out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many of the interim release tags have a relatively small number of questions.  Some of those problems aren't really specific to the release, the tag is just informational.  Some are specific to release-based problems.  We could go through them and use a more generic tag for the applicable questions.  However, we would still be left with pretty much the same collection of tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We could reduce the number of tags by leaving at least the recent LTS tags (say the last few major versions.  Relatively recent interim releases could be grouped and associated with the next LTS release number they feed.  However, that would be really confusing for users, many of whom don't understand the details of the release cycles.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We could also group or synonomize release-specific tags older than several LTS releases with a generic [Ubuntu-legacy] tag or something similar.  This would require ongoing maintenance.  I'm not sure the effort would really add value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line: We probably don't need every single current Ubuntu tag, but we benefit from some number of differentiating tags.  Anything we do at this point to reduce the number will have pros and cons, and I don't see any real benefit to the exercise.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; A recent question just reminded me of another reason why differentiating releases is important.  A new question related to a problem with an old release that is no longer supported.  If there is a reason why an obsolete release is necessary, it could require an answer that describes how to jump through hoops to make it work.  Otherwise, the answer would be to use a supported release.  The fact that the question relates to an out-of-support release means that the answer will be different, and may well require the knowledge of a more specialized pool of users.  Attracting the right answerers is a primary purpose of a tag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-06-21T19:17:36.803" LastActivityDate="2019-06-21T19:17:36.803" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Here's the basic scenario:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A poor quality question, unanswerable as-is, is posted.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It gets closed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Somebody edits it, but it still sucks.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Somebody else comes along, figures out what the OP is asking and what all the closure issues are, and does an edit that turns it into a good question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It starts attracting votes to reopen.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;People see what's now a good question.  They fully expect it to be reopened based on the voting momentum.  Maybe they start formulating an answer to post when the inevitable reopening happens.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And then the reopen voting just stops for no apparent reason.  The question stalls at some number of votes shy of reopening.  Inexplicably, days can go by without a single other reopen vote on this obviously worthy question.  What gives?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question became invisible in the Phantom Zone.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's what happens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The edit in step 3 starts the reopen review process.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Early reviewers see that it still sucks and vote to leave it closed.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Then it gets turned into a good question and starts attracting votes to reopen.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A stray leave-closed vote for any reason before five reopen votes is reached can complete a cumulative total of three leave-closed votes.

That makes it easy for them to get into reopen review before they're ready, and then fail to get reopened.  Once a question is out of the review queue, there is permanently no mechanism to get it in front of reopen voters.  So you experience situations like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You edit a closed question that has a fixable problem, but it doesn't attract any reopen votes.    &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You vote to reopen a closed question that looks fixed, but your vote is the only one it gets.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You see a bad, closed question get fixed, then it starts gathering reopen votes and looks like it should reopen quickly.  But then it stalls and gets no more reopen votes.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You see a closed question get fixed and it starts attracting reopen votes, and you prepare an answer so you can be an early poster when it reopens.

But days go by with no vote increase.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You check a fixed question's timeline to verify that it has had the benefit of reopen review, and sure enough it has.  The community voted to leave it closed (but it isn't evident that it happened before the question was fixed).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your assumptions about what's happening are based on the activity you see on the question, but there is no information there about the reopen queue, which changes everything.

I think any language-specific tag serves no on-topic purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/translation&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;translation&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;translation&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/localization&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;localization&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;localization&lt;/a&gt; would cover a lot of them, but there are language-related ramifications that warrant their own tags because they relate to specific technology questions.  For example, we already have &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/right-to-left&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;right-to-left&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;right-to-left&lt;/a&gt;.  We also get a lot of questions dealing with &quot;international&quot; characters (e.g., how to enter, reproduce, or recognize them), international variations of keyboard layouts, etc., and we do have an &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/international&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;international&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;international&lt;/a&gt; tag.  It may take some digging to ferret out all of the tags and their uses, and identify appropriate on-topic tags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A good way to approach this kind of retagging is to start and do the obvious ones and see what's left.  Searches on keywords will turn up other tag examples.  Once the obvious examples have been fixed, it's easier to see common uses in the residual questions that might have enough questions to warrant a new dedicated on-topic tag if one doesn't already exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; I had forgotten about the post this one is marked as a duplicate of.

That makes the specific language tag important to attract the right people to answer the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps most of the relevant characteristics are covered by a limited number of categories, but those categories wouldn't be nearly as effective for tags.

The search box at the top will contain &lt;code&gt;user:userid&lt;/code&gt;; that number is what you enter.  Your userID is site-specific; if you want to query your own posts on another site, you will need to enter your userID for that site. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Make sure it's displaying the correct site icon at the bottom, or enter the name of the site you want.  It reports posts for the site you select.  Also, you'll get someone else's posts on a different site if the query isn't set to the site you want; someone else will have the same userID on a different site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then click Run Query.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It produces a list of your posts (identified as links so you can directly access them), with vote counts identified as &quot;Helpful&quot; and &quot;Unhelpful&quot; (to distinguish them from upvotes and downvotes).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Only about a third of my own posts were reported.  It could be that many didn't receive any outside votes. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How useful is it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Usefulness is mixed.  It's useful if you use it in a useful way.  :-) &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For a number of reasons, the anonymous and low rep voting doesn't always track with the qualified voting, and it is often wildly mixed -- as many people thought a post was great as thought it sucked.  The raw vote counts don't always tell you much.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The value is when you can use the information as a sanity check, or to add insight.  For example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Validity of a downvotes.  Say a number of your answers receive one downvote as the only voting.  The answers seem fine to you, and you suspect malicious voting.  If the anonymous &amp;amp; low rep voting is predominantly positive, that would support your suspicion. If the voting is predominantly negative, many other, impartial people also had a problem with the answers, suggesting the downvote was warranted.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Meaning of zero votes.  A number of my own answers received no qualified votes of any kind.  The posts seemed fine to me and I assumed it was because nobody cared about the question.  However, the script showed a bunch of votes, all negative.  That means those answers were universally assessed as unhelpful to the point of motivating negative votes.  That suggests I was looking in the wrong direction for an explanation.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Identify posts that could benefit from improvement.  If a post received little or no attention from qualified voters but a lot of &quot;helpful&quot; votes from others, it means people found value in it.  Look for ways to improve the post, and the question to which an answer is attached.  If the post received a lot of &quot;unhelpful&quot; votes, try to figure out why, and look for ways to make it better.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, the value will be in cases where the voting was predominantly in one direction, and especially where that is very different from the qualified voting, or shows a pattern when there was no qualified voting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastActivityDate="2019-07-18T01:59:55.280" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Five years ago, the post &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/8166/364367&quot;&gt;The msi tag is ambiguous&lt;/a&gt; identified that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi&lt;/a&gt; tag was being used for both the Windows installer and hardware from the MSI company.  That led to merging or synonymizing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; without people realizing the implications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's always a bad idea to combine an ambiguous tag with one specific meaning because people will continue to enter the term in the tag window for the other meanings.  That results in an irrelevant or misleading tag on the question.  In the case of [msi], people following Windows installer questions waste time checking out questions about MSI brand hardware, plus it generally bloats the tags and dilutes their value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are currently 356 &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; questions.

We can go through the questions and delete that wrong tag, but it will continue to require cleanup and waste people's time if we don't separate &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi&lt;/a&gt;.  So I'm suggesting that action.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also suggest replacing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi-windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi-windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi-windows-installer&lt;/a&gt;.  That provides two benefits.  For users who are actually referring to the Windows installer, this would replace the synonymizing.  Without the direct link to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi&lt;/a&gt;, this would allow the Windows installer tag to show up when &quot;msi&quot; is typed.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; isn't a great tag, anyway, because msi isn't the only one and that tag doesn't make clear what installer it refers to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, if a new user asking about MSI brand hardware types &quot;msi&quot; in the tag window, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; appears, there's no obvious connection for someone who doesn't do a lot of installation in Windows.  If they're paying attention and notice the tag, they may just assume the system added it automatically for some reason (like many other things about the site that don't make sense to new users).  Replacing &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/msi-windows-installer&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;msi-windows-installer&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;msi-windows-installer&lt;/a&gt; will at least provide a mental connection to help the OP realize that what they typed means something else here.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-07-23T22:33:11.660" LastActivityDate="2024-02-07T23:02:55.517" Title="Unmerge [msi] from [windows-installer]" Tags="|discussion|retag-request|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You consider it &lt;strong&gt;your&lt;/strong&gt; question about your own problem, and you should be free to do with it what you want if the situation changes.  There's a lot of leeway for you to control your question as long as nobody else is affected, but it's not entirely your question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's somewhat the case that you contribute a question to the knowledge base in exchange for the chance to get an answer for yourself.  You can contribute a question about a problem you don't personally have, or after contributing a question, you can discover that you need to ask a different question.  Once a question is contributed, it becomes the site's question.  If it is a valid question that could benefit others, your personal needs kinda become secondary. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even though it's the site's question, you still have control over things like edits, to ensure that the question remains faithful to your intent.  But your control has limitations when other users are involved.  For example, you can delete it only before other people would be affected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You describe contributing the question, offering the bounty, and then discovering that what you really need to ask is a different question.  So ask another question.  That doesn't invalidate the original question, it just means that you're no longer one of the people with a personal need for an answer to it.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once other people are involved, a lot of considerations go into deleting a question.  If the question is low quality or isn't of value to anyone else, and doesn't have any good answers, there may well be community support for your request to delete.  But if the question is a good one, of value to others, or it has received an exceptional answer, the community would want a better reason to delete the question than the fact that you no longer need an answer for yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post in the help section covers the situation where you want to delete your own question: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/what-to-do-instead-of-deleting-question&quot;&gt;I've thought better of my question; can I delete it?&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-07-25T15:14:51.723" LastActivityDate="2019-07-25T15:14:51.723" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It is not fair to the users who spent extra time on a bounty that they would have spent elsewhere, and it is not up to moderators to spend time trying to establish whether or not it could indeed have been a mistake or if it was just an attention grab. It would end up being down to the judgement of the moderator at hand to make a call as to whether to trust the person asking for their bounty to be refunded. At best it is ripe for mistakes and poor calls to be made, at worst it is based on opinion rather than solid fact.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A moderator shouldn't make that call.

Those actually are different questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, you don't need to prove an answer works.  You are free to select any answer, even gibberish, if you think it helps or solves your problem.  Acceptance of an answer is totally at your discretion, and you don't need to justify your decision.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An answer doesn't necessarily have a relationship to whether a question is clear.  It's common for a question to be ambiguous, various people will answer based on different interpretations, and one of the answers will address what the OP intended.  That answer gets accepted.  The question is still unclear, but the answer helps shed light on what the OP meant.  Based on the answer and acceptance, someone can often improve the question to clarify it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that can also work in the other direction.  If an accepted answer doesn't appear to others to be a solution, it makes the question unclear, because it implies that the question means something other than what it says.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those are your two questions, but there's a third aspect. The question doesn't exist in a vacuum.  The purpose of the site is to be a knowledge base of solutions for other people.  It's great that you got a solution for your own problem, but what about other people looking for a solution to &lt;strong&gt;their&lt;/strong&gt; problems.  They will land on your question through a search (that's where the great majority of readers come from).  If your question isn't clear, it isn't fulfilling the site's purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main Site Question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question is one that got both of us frustrated.  The screenshot you added was actually helpful, although the appropriate place for it would have been as part of  JvdV's answer, not the question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For my own part, I was focused on the ambiguity, and the endless possible variations that aren't clarified in the question.  It's unfortunately too common for questioners to not realize that their question can be interpreted in ways other than what's in their own head.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People volunteering their time to help, waste time developing an answer that's a legitimate response to the wording in the question, only to be told that it wasn't what the OP meant, or doesn't account for some condition not described in the question.  In fact, that happened on this question.  Rajesh S developed a solution that was legitimate for what was in the question at the time.  Then you added other examples and disclosed that the data was dynamic, which invalidated his efforts (plus he got a downvote for his trouble). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be honest, I missed that JvdV's revised answer did address the additional examples you added (specifically &quot;Two Tokens&quot;), at least as long as there isn't a trailing space.  There are still ambiguities in the question, though.  For example, can you have a word ending in a number, like &quot;This is example1&quot;?  JvdV's answer assumes that if the last word ends in a number, it's entirely a number.  It is adequate for your personal need, but it isn't a robust solution that handles other variations that would be covered by the description in the question.  Other people trying to use the solution for their similar problem could get wrong results.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my last comment was inaccurate.  The accepted answer does, indeed, address the specific examples listed in the question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm happy that you got a solution for yourself, but I still think the question kinda sucks for other people with a similar problem, and even other people who might want to offer another solution.  The issue is that it doesn't actually define the pattern you're looking for.  It gives some examples, and they may cover all the relevant cases in your data.  But defining a problem only by a few examples leaves it very ambiguous in terms of the data other readers may have.  It also still leaves open the potential for another answerer to waste time on a solution that doesn't meet a requirement you haven't thought to mention.  And those are problems given the purpose of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question would be much clearer if you start with some context.  As-is, all we have is some invented data that you think covers the range of conditions in your data.  To readers, it's just a random collection of nonsense terms that could be placeholders for anything.  It's like a guessing game where people have to keep asking for clues until the problem has been fully defined (and there's no basis to know when it is).  If you describe what your data actually represent and what it comes from, that puts some boundaries on what it could contain, and what a solution needs to handle.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-07-29T20:42:20.093" LastActivityDate="2019-07-29T20:42:20.093" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'll be storing the drive on-site (in my house), and am more concerned with data security than physical security.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've heard things about storing your backup drives in fireproof lockboxes, and have noted a few articles about geomagnetic storms and whatnot being a concern for data security.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I haven't managed to find any articles that specifically go into physical storage of your backup drives, and what equipment (fireproof/faraday bags, heat resistant safes, etc) to use for optimal data safety.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I was wondering what factors I need to keep in mind, and what sort of equipment I should be looking for, to keep my backup hard drive safe and secure for a good long while. I've taken a glance at this article, which covers static and moisture, but are there any other important factors (like what might occur during a house fire) to keep in mind?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My answer was:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More important than protection against fire, static, moisture, or electromagnetic pulses from nuclear weapons is getting that backup copy off-site. As you research backup strategies, you'll hear a lot about the &amp;quot;3-2-1&amp;quot; rule. That's 3 copies of your data (the original, and two backups), on 2 different kinds of media, with 1 of the copies taken off-site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your house burns down or is flooded, or if a thief breaks in, you're as likely to lose the in-house backup as you are to lose the original data on your PC. So, to protect against this, get your backup (be it tape, or a flash drive, or an external hard drive) away from your house.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your mom's house.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your place of work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A friend's house. (Trade -- you keep their drive, they keep your drive. Encrypt it, even if you trust them.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A safe deposit box at your bank.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A vendor, like Iron Mountain.

This happens very regularly, and it degrades the quality of this site. Simple as that.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sometimes you can post good answers to bad questions if someone is posting what is essentially an “&lt;a href=&quot;http://xyproblem.info&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;XY Problem&lt;/a&gt;” and you have gotten them to admit as much&lt;/strong&gt;. Some people who are not technical—or are technical but at a loss to explain things—will often ask for help with one thing when they really are looking to solve another issue. These are sometimes bad questions because they are too broad, but simple comments can often clarify things. Or even an answer that says something like, “Your question isn’t that clear but I am guessing this is the issue you are dealing with…”&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Broad answers to vague questions hold no real value&lt;/strong&gt;. This is the other core reason I downvoted your answer; the reality is your answer is filled with tons of generic advice that can be found anywhere. The reality is your answer is the tech equivalent of “Eat healthy, get plenty of rest and then it will all clear up…” It’s not really helpful and the broad answer you provide opens the door to even more questions. For example, my mom passed away years ago; and even if she didn’t why should I assume a drive at my mom’s residence won’t — for example — get accidentally tossed out with the trash or given away to charity?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes bad questions can be rescued and even I have been able to rescue some “bad” questions myself. But it’s rare that happens.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best thing you could have done is ask for clarification in the comments and then take it from there. By posting an answer of the type you have posted, it doesn’t improve the original question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And for that matter, advice on what is “best” for backup storage, retention and recovery is never an easily answerable question.

Perhaps that was the closest close reason for other issues people had with the question.  I don't actually see a closure reason at all.  The question appears on-topic, factually answerable, in-scope, and not opinion-based.  Perhaps people are reading the question in different ways, reading things into the wording, or second-guessing what the OP should have asked instead.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question was not about backup in general, it was about storing a drive.  That's not opinion-based.  There also aren't endless considerations to the point that it is overly broad.  Professionals store drives all the time and know what considerations need to be addressed.  An in-scope answer could identify the relevant considerations, briefly discuss them, and describe appropriate ways to deal with them.  It could also address additional considerations raised by the OP.  This wouldn't require an encyclopedic answer.  In fact, much of the discussion has been covered in previous questions, so an answer could include links to other threads for further reading, plus summary discussion to glue it all together.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;People follow different procedures in practice.  Those are based on their own assessment of what risks apply and the potential and cost to recover the data.  Those aren't differences of opinion, they are differences in risk assessment for their own needs.  Those considerations can be discussed in an answer.  Answers that just provide opinion, or state, without any context, what the author does, aren't good answers.  That's different from a bad question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question was perhaps more narrow than what would provide the complete information the OP should know.  It asked only about properly storing a specific drive.  People offered all kinds of advice about broader considerations of protecting backup information.  That's fine to offer as a supplement after addressing the specific issue asked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;People were very distracted by the mention of things like geomagnetic storms and Faraday bags.  The author wasn't off the deep end, seeking to protect their data from the coming apocalypse.  They mentioned that they had seen that in an article and came here looking for perspective, and advice on what is actually important.  That's kinda one of the things we do here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The question didn't require a frame challenge, because the OP didn't have a frame, they were simply looking to understand what is important to do about protecting a drive in storage, after click bait articles introduced scenarios they didn't have the background to question.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The fact that none of the answers tried to address the actual question suggests that the question wording would have benefited from some tweaking.  However, a question shouldn't be closed based on the answers it attracts.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;JakeGould's answer here is information I agree with in general, but I don't think it applies in this case.  My reading of the question was different, and I didn't see it as a bad question, or an XY question (the &quot;XY&quot; was that the OP asked X and people wanted to answer Y; the OP could benefit from broader information than what was asked, though).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-09-09T04:51:11.920" LastActivityDate="2019-09-09T04:51:11.920" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You went from asking about %LocalAppData% to asking about the Program Files directories also.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Today was the third edit, and someone said that they would flag me if I edit my question again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I only did this after I felt like I had already added at least five different questions from your comments into my answer.  While I have/had every intention to flag your question, if you change/changed the question you were asking (excluding additional details), it wasn’t a threat.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the end (if I had flagged for moderator attention) all that would happen is you would continue to receive answers to your question.  &lt;strong&gt;If a moderator thought there was merit to my flag, whatever happened at that point, would be private between you and the moderator team.&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is the entire point of the moderator team, to handle situations like multiple significant changes to a question, but I was giving you the respect I felt you deserve to let you know I was getting frustrated with all the changes to your question.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I could have handled it differently, I would have asked you to avoid significant changes to your question, but flag the situation privately so it could be handled.  &lt;strong&gt;If I offended you, or you feel you cannot ask the question you want to ask, then I apologize.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was trying to protect the work, I had invested 3 hours at that point, into in my answer and was reaching a breaking point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question’s first revision asked the following, &lt;strong&gt;Which is correct?&lt;/strong&gt;, You were trying to determine if %LocalAppData% or the root directory user’s profile, was the correct installation directory for an application.  You received several answers that indicate, it entirely depends on the permissions of the user running the application, if those locations should be used for the directory for the executable. If I didn't correctly interpret what you wanted, then you did a poor job of explaining what you wanted, and should have used more percise language.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your second revision added the question, &lt;strong&gt;More specifically, what directory, in Windows, was meant for installers to install their binaries/executables for a specific user?&lt;/strong&gt;, which is unrelated to which directory is correct or recommended to be used for an application’s executable directory.  While this question is more detailed, then what you originally asked, it's also answered by Microsoft's own documentation.  I also answered it by indicating that, an application can be installed to any directory, the user running the executable has permissions to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your final revision, removed both of those questions, and added two new questions.  The first, &lt;strong&gt;Where are programs usually installed for a particular user?&lt;/strong&gt;, was answered by every single one of the answers you already received.  However, it’s significantly different, from your original revision.  The fact the other answers actually already answered it is by pure luck.  Your second (new) question, &lt;strong&gt;Is this directory the &quot;Program Files&quot; equivalent, but only for that particular user?&lt;/strong&gt;, is unrelated to the other questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="83283" LastEditDate="2019-09-17T10:26:25.583" LastActivityDate="2019-09-17T10:26:25.583" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

A &lt;strong&gt;good quality answer&lt;/strong&gt; would have to explain what exactly Windows Sandbox does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A full list obviously can't be given, but the idea that a list could be open ended or only contain highlights relevant to the OP's apparent needs, hasn't ever stopped a good summary of factual relevant key points from being a valid answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any list of improvements would be based on the author's opionion of what changes were important enough to even mention.  &lt;strong&gt;I already know the list I would write, would be extremely different, than the other users with expertise with Windows.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The underlying matter seems well defined, tight, and factual - if I were a microsoft technical specialist, what would the main differences since latest WIn 8.1 be, that a user might gain from, if they move to WIn 10?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even one of your examples, &quot;Windows 10 updates are notoriously stablity-rocking&quot; is a matter of opionion, I have been using Windows for nearly 2 decades.  Any Windows update, for any version of Windows, can be stability-rocking.  For example, a few months ago I changed a group policy, in order to become compliant with a security rule that I am required to implement, once this policy was enabled it prevented the mounted NAS drive from being accessible.  &lt;strong&gt;Since the mounted drive was required for the system to be used the policy had to be reverted.&lt;/strong&gt;  My entire point, is while I believe Windows to be incredibily stable 99.99% of the time, many people do not agree with that fact.  &lt;strong&gt;So while a person like myself might think that making cumlative updates be required is a worth while change that happened with Windows 10, other people might disagree with that fact.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recently wrote an answer to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1464002/windows-10-pro-1709-update-to-1803-1809-or-1903/1464164#1464164&quot;&gt;Windows 10 Pro 1709 update to 1803, 1809 or 1903?&lt;/a&gt; where I highlighted the fact, every single version of Windows 10, have outstanding unresolved issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;All factual points relevant to the question's narrow limits. None subjective beyond answerers deciding &quot;is this likely to be relevant to the OP&quot; which is usual and not what the close means.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some of your examples, for instance &quot;LTSB doesnt have that problem&quot;, are not true.  In other cases, &quot;There is a new version of SMB&quot;, also applies to Windows 8.1.  &lt;strong&gt;In the end the amount of changes Windows has received over the last 4 years, is an extremely long list, even if somebody were to limit it to only the topics that interest you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the end you point the following in a comment to your question, &quot;I'm running a small home lab and workstation, I don't think its a good idea to disrupt that way, or to hope that somehow I'll know what to look for.&quot;, in response to a user indicating only you can determine if upgrading to Windows 10 is a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastActivityDate="2019-10-01T16:07:47.097" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If I reacted this way to &lt;em&gt;every&lt;/em&gt; person who disagreed with me about my music and media collection habits, I would have no friends.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, I once told an audio engineer friend of mine that I rip to VBR MP3s, he gasped and explained:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“Storage is cheap… Why not just use FLAC for everything?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I explained I am on macOS and want to have as much space saved on my iOS devices as possible and at as high quality as I can deal with. He went on and on ranting about macOS, uncompressed audio and this and that and the other…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You know what my response was? It was simply:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“Look &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; are an audio engineer; I am not. And if I have more music in my collection than I can remember, I find that to be a distraction and not a benefit. And the quality difference between FLAC and MP3 is something I really can’t notice — and honestly don’t care about — for the most part.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I literally said that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And that’s it! And that’s in the real world.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the original poster sounded snooty… But who cares? There is no such thing as a “best” way to manage media. Each person has their own method.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your case I would have recommended not responding, flagging the comment as irrelevant/“no longer needed” and move on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you somehow need to say something just say something like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;“This question is about my specific issues; not a critique of how I am doing things. I’m sorry you find this appalling, but it’s not something I am concerned about.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or maybe — better yet — just don’t say anything. Who cares? Before MP3s existed there have always been music and media format snobs.

Here's my take on the gray area, and how it leads to a conclusion regarding YouTube.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We don't support Warez or stealing services, but it also isn't our job to police the Internet.  So where's the line between the two?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;With DRM, the person could have legitimate rights to personal use of something they purchased, and we can't parse each contract or TOS.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you're allowed to freely download something but it comes with TOS, it wouldn't be our job to figure out and enforce the TOS (but see Hackintosh discussion below).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Some web content has no stated or obvious restrictions on downloading; it is simply a technical hurdle.  We support that.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If a web site has protections and controls over what proprietary content you can download and how, we generally don't tell people how to cheat the provisions.  People make their living developing content and have the right to control and limit your access to it.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think what it comes down to is this: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;we won't help you defeat intentional controls to acquire something.  The existence of those controls means you aren't entitled to it, so defeating them is piracy, just as we don't knowingly support warez.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;But it you already own it, either because you purchased it or it was freely available, we'll extend the benefit of the doubt in helping you use it.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It isn't our job to police how you obtained it, but if we're familiar with the software and know that your copy must be warez, we won't knowingly aid and abet piracy.  Or if you were dumb enough to describe that you have a pirated copy, we now know and shouldn't support it (don't ask, don't tell).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With Hackintosh, there's the argument that it is unsupported, so out-of-scope on that basis (it's not designed or tested to work on other hardware, so there isn't a &quot;right way&quot; to make it work; that comes more under the umbrella of development).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my take on the question of downloading from YouTube: it depends.  If content can be downloaded with readily available tools like browser extensions, and there is nothing but a TOS notice saying not to, it's not our job to enforce the TOS.  But I would say that we shouldn't provide technical support to bypass intentional provisions put in place to prevent downloading.  In my book, that would be piracy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-11-07T06:09:31.917" LastActivityDate="2019-11-07T06:09:31.917" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Which is essentially is fine by itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My &quot;problem&quot; is, that the liked question/answer does not answer my question. I wanted to know HOW I can activate WinXP not IF MS will allow a future activation in general. I found a solution but I would very much like to know if there are other once, besides the ones that were posted. This is no longer possible for this question since it's closed. (Re)Reading through the help center about the reasons to use the duplicate/close tags I thought I understand them, they not applied correctly (which, granted, is doubtful but still a possibility). So whats the way to go in order to &quot;solve my problem&quot;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) I could argue the case that the questions might be similar but they are not asking about the same thing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;my question is much more specific: First The linked question actually consists of two independent topics (which would be better asked as two separate questions). Secondly, the linked question is very general it doesn't ask how to solve a problem only asks if there will be a problem. Thirdly, I'm looking for (all sorts of) methods to activate WinXP offline (for several reasons)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;the context/circumstances changed. 5 years ago you could still use the phone number that was supplied within the activation dialogue or use the online activation. This is no longer the case. The German phone number doesn't work anymore and a lot of users seem to have trouble (as I have) to use the online activation (which in itself poses a problem since you don't want to connect an insecure OS to the internet). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) If the questions are similar and there is no way of editing mine in order to differentiate it enough. I could raise the point if it makes sense to mark the linked question as a duplicate and not mine. First of all the linked question does not provide an answer to my question (solutions offline activation for Windows in 2019), secondly, the linked question has much lower activity, it doesn't have an accepted answer etc. It's &quot;only&quot; older, and as far as I remember correctly, the date of the question is not the relevant criteria (although I'm not sure where I read that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Essentially I have two questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A) What would be the best approach here (1 or 2)? If I need to, how should I rephrase the question that emphasizes the difference? Should I just add that I'm specifically looking for an offline solution including any &quot;unofficial&quot; workarounds? Would that be enough?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;B) What is the reason behind the &quot;rule&quot; of closing duplicate questions (how exactly does it benefit the site) and how do they apply in this case? Is there something I completely missed here? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would be grateful for some advice and or explanation. I hope it's clear that my main goal is not a certain outcome but to get a better understand the procedures (or the general accepted way of doing things). And that I'm using my WinXP question as a working example so this is not just a hypothetical meta question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="201818" LastEditorUserId="442468" LastEditDate="2019-11-22T13:46:56.440" LastActivityDate="2019-11-24T13:29:29.373" Title="Closing a question as a duplicate (followup)" Tags="|discussion|exact-duplicates|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So the results would be misleading.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can search on the word &quot;nvidia&quot; rather than the tag, but that isn't perfect, either.  In the question, posters may refer to the &quot;model name&quot; of the card without mentioning &quot;nvidia&quot;, so the search wouldn't capture everything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's actually a solution that isn't advertised, so people might not think to try it.  You can use wildcards in tag name search terms.  Searching on [nvidia*] returns everything with a tag name starting with &quot;nvidia&quot;.

Because of the interesting subject matter and quality of the post, I check their profile to see what else they've posted.  People tend not to post single exceptional posts, so it isn't unusual to find a number of other great posts of theirs, all worthy of upvoting based on quality and usefulness.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't believe that looking for past posts by an author who you've found provides useful information for you, or upvoting in succession multiple great posts by the same author should be a problem.  I think that's completely consistent with the basic objectives of the site.  Apparently, though, differentiating meritorious upvotes is too nuanced for the system.  The workaround is to be aware of the problem and spread out the votes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't know if moderators can undo vote invalidation by the system if the votes were actually meritorious.  Voting is anonymous, and my understanding is that moderators can see limited patterns between users, but not voting by specific users on specific posts.  I'm also not aware whether there is an &quot;appeal&quot; process for when the system gets it wrong.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the posts were exceptional and automatic invalidation was an unfair penalty for the author, I might be tempted to list the posts within a question like yours here, so other people can decide whether to vote and replace the lost upvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;For no apparent reason, you took a valid question and negated it by gratuitously playing the age, race, gender, and gender identity cards, which have no bearing on the issue, or validity (the automated system that monitors the patterns has no race, gender, or gender identity).  That's a shame because without that, this could be a valuable question.  It's inclusion destroys the question's credibility and triggers a negative reaction leading to downvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="364367" LastEditorUserId="364367" LastEditDate="2019-12-20T21:17:32.070" LastActivityDate="2019-12-20T21:17:32.070" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

While we do joke sometimes about community's gender - the vote invalidations were done by an entity that is not white, cismale or middle aged. It has also done this fairly reliably for over a decade, and we kinda trust that piece of code to do its job implicitly. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Now, how exactly are this reports generated? Automatically by some algorithm? If so this is seriously flawed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes. The exact details are not available even to us. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Reviewing the data available to us - however, it seems pretty clear that there was some targetted downvoting and it was reversed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I do that almost automatically in questions (and some answers) about EOL OSes and some questions about Kali that are from people who clearly shouldn't be using it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn't the case here.

It should have been written as a comment or an answer.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; &#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The edit wasn't a comment nor an answer &lt;em&gt;(I'm unsure how either could be inferred)&lt;/em&gt;... it simply took a complex question that was all over the place and laid it out cohesively, so the reasoning given has me perplexed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rejection reason 2:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&quot;This edit deviates from the original intent of the post. Even edits that must make drastic changes should strive to preserve the goals of the post's owner.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I'm failing to understand how the edits made deviate from the original intent, per the above and below, as the author's goals were completely preserved.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Context&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My intent with the edit was to cohesively present the complex questions the author was asking, organizing it in such a way that when anyone with the required knowledge went to craft their answer, they wouldn't have to repeatedly sift through the question for 5min each time they addressed what customization needed to go where in which of the seven Windows install phases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This is &lt;em&gt;crucial&lt;/em&gt;, as adding customizations to the wrong configuration pass will either result in a failed installation if using a LiteTouch or ZeroTouch install or result in the customizations altogether being skipped because they're in the wrong configuration pass &lt;em&gt;(wouldn't be immediately apparent until after OOBE, or, if booting to audit mode, and with the level of customization requested, it would take a significant amount of time to manually verify)&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; My edit grouped the customizations requested into, more or less, their constituent configuration passes.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="529800" LastEditorUserId="529800" LastEditDate="2020-01-02T08:49:09.680" LastActivityDate="2020-01-14T06:26:00.480" Title="Please offer guidance as to why this edit was rejected" Tags="|discussion|editing|suggested-edits|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It seems were are getting closer to the problem now. There is a severe misunderstanding. Of course, I am absolutely not interested in why Supermicro decided to make them incompatible. My why was meant in the technical sense. I was hoping for an answer like, for example, &quot;because the screw holes in the mainboard do not match the standoff holes in that case&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the documentation is incorrect, as you suspect, the only way to know if they are compatible is to have the hardware.  The documentation is supposed to indicate what motherboard form factors the case supports.   So I looked at the documentation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The case supports 13.68&quot; x 13&quot; EE-ATX SuperMicro motherboards.  The SuperMicro X10DRi is 12&quot; x 13&quot; E-ATX, this determination was entirely based on the definition of what EE-ATX (only used by SuperMicro) and the particular E-ATX variation used by SuperMicro/ASUS.  However, it’s clear the supported motherboards is not a complete list. There are both EE-ATX and E-ATX motherboards in that list.

My flag was declined by a Super User moderator for the following inexplicable reason:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Request would need to come from OP.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's a new one on me. &lt;strong&gt;When did that become Super User site policy? It certainly is not, nor has it ever been, the policy of the Stack Exchange network.&lt;/strong&gt; I've been a veteran user of Stack Exchange for quite some time, and being a moderator over on Stack Overflow, I'm quite familiar with what the standing policies are with respect to moderator flags.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it is a new Super User policy to refuse to migrate questions unless the request comes from the OP, then that policy needs to be reversed at once, because it is absurd. It subverts the entire purpose of migration. There is absolutely no need for the OP to request migration of a question: they can simply delete and repost it. The only reason migration is necessary is to allow &lt;em&gt;someone else&lt;/em&gt; to request that the question be migrated, while preserving ownership and attribution to the original author, which, last I checked, is a big deal on Stack Exchange sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, being a Stack Overflow moderator, I decline a fair number of flags requesting migration. Primarily, this is because the question(s) that the flagger(s) are requesting to migrate are very low quality. I am quite familiar with the cardinal rule that we do not migrate low-quality questions. However, I feel strongly that this is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a low-quality question (despite its terseness). Furthermore, that is why I submitted my edit to the question to fix any lingering formatting/grammar issues, and that edit was approved by the community &lt;em&gt;long&lt;/em&gt; before a diamond moderator ever reviewed my flag requesting migration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I submit that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this question, and that it deserves to be migrated to a site where it would be on-topic. That site is Electronics.SE, which deals with &lt;a href=&quot;https://electronics.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic&quot;&gt;&quot;questions about electrical and electronics engineering topics, which include electronics, physical computing, and those working with microcontrollers, Arduinos and embedded systems&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. This question is about a COTS eval board for a GPS sensor, designed to be used in embedded systems, which fits the Electronics.SE site's scope &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/to_a_T&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;to a T&lt;/a&gt;. It contains a link to a datasheet (check), covers &quot;a specific electronics design problem&quot; (check), and is not asking for a recommendation (check). It is a practical, answerable, useful question about hobbyist- and professional-grade electronics. I'm sure, because I checked &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; requesting migration. Did you check before &lt;em&gt;declining&lt;/em&gt; migration?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another common reason not to migrate questions is because they are actually on-topic for the site on which they were originally asked. Again citing &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2012/03/22/respect-the-community-your-own-and-others/&quot;&gt;long-standing network policy&lt;/a&gt;, in the words of Shog9:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Be a bit jealous of your site – don’t blithely turn askers away simply because their question could be asked somewhere else. Don’t hit them over the head with your scope, help them tailor their question to fit into it – and if that means your site’s scope overlaps a bit with another site’s, so be it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question was clearly off-topic for Super User. I knew that to be true just by reading it and having a sufficient understanding of Super User's scope. The question wasn't about personal computer hardware or software. The Super User moderators also knew it to be off-topic for this site, since it had been closed as off-topic by one of them already. So that was not an issue here, either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ticking off the other contra-indications for migration, the question was not more than 60 days old (in fact, it was &lt;em&gt;brand new&lt;/em&gt;), not already asked on the target site, and had not been answered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Compounding my frustration at this decline message is the fact that I am&amp;mdash;at least in some way&amp;mdash;&lt;em&gt;involved&lt;/em&gt; with this question, thus giving me a stake in its migration. The OP is a customer support representative from Gumstix, whom I have been corresponding with. I asked her the very same question about how to modify the board, and she graciously asked the engineering team in order to provide me with an answer. Unprompted, she decided to share that knowledge online so that it would be available to others like me in the future&amp;mdash;what a great idea, the very foundational principle of Stack Exchange! Unfortunately, she made a bit of an error in choosing the site on which to ask. It isn't a general computer-usage question, so it's not on-topic for Super User. I knew that immediately, given my immense experience with the Stack Exchange network. But, rather than risking souring her experience (she's a new user, after all), I thought that I could just leverage my own experience with the Stack Exchange network to positive effect&amp;mdash;I could fix up the question and get it migrated to another site where it would be on-topic. I didn't know that I would need to engage in a noisy comments thread, annoyingly trying to persuade the OP to request migration of her own question. And I &lt;em&gt;certainly&lt;/em&gt; didn't know that I would need to take the discussion offline and send her a follow-up email explaining the cardinal sin that she committed and that the Super User moderators don't care to help her unless she begs for it herself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please migrate this question, and please explain why my original flag was declined for such a nonsensical reason.&lt;/strong&gt; If a change in policy is required or otherwise motivated by this question, please allow it to stand as a formal request for such.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="40134" LastActivityDate="2020-01-07T20:30:52.647" Title="Migrating high-quality, off-topic questions to another site in the Stack Exchange network" Tags="|support|questions|migration|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

We prefer longer and more well thought out answers. We like to solve the problem for future users who come via a search engine and might not know what their exact problem is to begin with. Unless the question is exceptionally well written shorter answers are probably not going to help that so it is up to you as the person answering to get those future visitors. Being able to back up your answers with verifiable evidence is a great way to be certain that it is correct and future-proof.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, the decision is yours to make.

I very clearly stated your answer was not an answer and reads more like a comment so you should have posted it as a comment instead of an answer. Here is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/13936/167207&quot;&gt;100% exact comment I made verbatim thanks to Ramhound digging it up for his answer&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your post was/is a comment because it was speculation. And the specs for the PC (PowerSpec G419) are easily accessible online and there is no indication that the PC in question has Bluetooth or a Wi-Fi card with Bluetooth mixed in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This question as off-topic because it is all over the map and utterly unfocused What is the one question here? And your answer could — and still can — be helpful as a comment which you are fully capable of posting with the rep you have.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead of accepting that, you rambled on and on — as you are doing here — about your years of experience and how you are simply right and others are engaging in giving you: “Another drive by downvote for zero reason.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I attempted to reason with you in the comments there — in the same way others here are attempting to reason with you — but no answer other than 100% submission to your “professional experience” seems to make you happy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And as others point out, this is not the first time you have posted comments as answers and then get personally outraged if you are downvoted because of that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So when I finally gave up and said something along the lines of “If you are unhappy with this, please post about it on meta…” which you clearly have done with this post, what is the title of your question?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“Wrongly downvoted answer”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How ridiculously vain and demanding and tone-deaf that “question” is. We all see our share of “Why was my question/answer downvoted?” posts. But to simply post a tone-deaf answer to a question on the main site, get upset and then just post this “Wrongly downvoted answer” post here is kind of past belief.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to respect your supposed years of experience in the computer field, but none of your posts actually reflect that past saying, “Trust me I have done this…” with utterly nothing else to back your posts up that are then followed up with angry indignation if someone even dare question your posts validity.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Look, posting a comment can often be as helpful as posting an answer if the initial question is vague. But in a case like this — where someone is asking about Bluetooth capabilities for &lt;a href=&quot;http://powerspec.com/systems/system_specs.phtml?selection=G419&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;a PC (PowerSpec G419) whose specs clearly indicate there is no Bluetooth&lt;/a&gt; — and you are rambling on and on about generic advice without paying attention to the core reality of this user’s machine, you will be downvoted by me and possibly others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;This is not personal, but again — and again and again — if you are going to endlessly post low quality answers that are better suited as comments as answers this is what happens.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You taking this stuff personally all the time actually reflects a true lack of experience in your professional skill set. So if you expect people to respect your professional experience, you need to behave in a way that garners that respect. Your current behavior makes me question your supposed professional experience at best.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;And — yet again — you utterly cannot demand people remove downvotes or demand they should remove a comment you don’t agree with.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yet again, this cycle goes on and on and on…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I disagreed with another of John’s answers, downvoted and added — and as I typed this deleted — a comment to explain and this is the response I received:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I think your comment is utterly terrible and incorrect.

If someone chooses to, the community &lt;em&gt;encourages&lt;/em&gt; downvoters to leave an explanation in the comments. That is 100% exactly what I did: Two things this community is designed to do and encourages to do and you seem to narcissistically believe people are “out to get you.” Give it a rest!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You also left this comment after deleting your previous comment:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I will remove my comment but I have reported you. I was thoroughly disgusted by your behaviour”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My response was:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“You mean my behavior where I post a comment — as requested by the community — when a downvote happens?

The answer indicates that your &lt;a href=&quot;https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/X1-Carbon-5th-gen-need-intel-drivers-for-Windows-7/td-p/3637237&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Lenovo ThinkPad x1 Carbon 5th&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; does not support Windows 7.  That might not actually be the case, in order to determine that, you would need to indicate what model you have.  &lt;strong&gt;So from the perspective of this community user, the author of the answer, made a statement they don't actually know is the case.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I personally do not find inaccurate answer to be particularly helpful.  If I read an answer on Super User, I expect for the answer to contained all the required information, to resolve my problem.  I often see incomplete and inaccurate answers to problems I am attempting to solve, and there is nothing more frustrating to read a solution, but for it to be incomplete because it's missing vital information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on my research the ability to run Windows 7 on the &lt;code&gt;Lenovo ThinkPad x1 Carbon 5th&lt;/code&gt; entirely depends on which processor it has.  &lt;code&gt;20K4&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;20K3&lt;/code&gt; both support Windows 7 due the fact the processor is not blacklisted within Windows Update. 20HF and 20HR does not support Windows 7 without some additional hacks due to the processor.  However, even if we are talking about 20HF and 20HR, you should still be able to install Windows 7.  However, once installed without some additional work, Windows 7 would be unable to update. &lt;strong&gt;The fact you were unable to even begin the installation process indicates something else was wrong.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Based on the problems you describe installing pretty much every single operating system you tried, I suspect you attempted to install Windows 7, from a USB 3 device.  By default that wouldn't have worked on any device until you added the USB 3 driver to the Windows 7 ISO.  &lt;strong&gt;As for the problems with the Linux operating system the answer does not even address that problem.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How dogmatic and frustrated has someone to be, to judge so harsh a valid and helpful answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might have found the answer helpful.  However, the answer was deleted by the author, it was not deleted by the community. As a member of that community due to the incorrect statements contained within the answer, I didn't actually find the answer helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the truth:  &lt;em&gt;There is a good chance Windows 7 could actually run on your device.  How easily it is to get Windows 7 running on your laptop entirely depends on the model you actually have.

That complicates the editing history, and if you do that on a virgin comment, it places one of those ugly &quot;Last Edited&quot; markers by the answer.

Honestly, your comments were less than respectful, and I came to consider mine unhelpful.  I have a certain understanding of the Registry based on my personal knowledge about how it works. Your comments indicate that understanding was incorrect, since you believed my commentary to be incorrect, and I wasn’t going to agree with that fact I deleted my commentary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since I had read your commentary directed towards myself, and no amount of discussion would change either of our minds, the conversation we had in the comment section wasn’t productive.

I can see where you're coming from, but I think calling what happened censorship is to vastly overstate the intent. This is taking down an outdated post-it attached to a poster on a notice board.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are other places to have debates and discussions over differences of opinion. Chat may in some cases be that place, but if the other participant doesn't want to keep talking, you can't make them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As above, most of the time notifications aren't necessary. There is some merit to saying that there are times and places where it would be useful to say &amp;quot;this conversation has stepped over the line&amp;quot; when removing; but... in my experience, things like that tend to fan the flames of dissent rather than douse them. As a sensible, reasonable person you may differ -- and kudos if so! -- but the system is built to deal with the 99%, rather than the 1%.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;you put me into the category of troublemakers for which there is no hope and flicked the delete button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;now I know where I stand in the community's regard&#xA;&lt;em&gt;(from your answer)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These too seem to overstate the situation.

Putting a question on hold because it is too broad does not mean &amp;quot;we think the user is stupid&amp;quot;; closing a post because it is unclear does not mean &amp;quot;this user cannot write&amp;quot;; removing comments &lt;strong&gt;certainly does not mean&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;quot;we think there is no hope for this user&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can it be frustrating when the above -- on hold/closed/comments removed -- happens to you?

I'll have to let this gestate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;if you think a comment is important enough, it should be rolled into the post it is commenting on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sooo, if a person has something to say and isn't entirely sure yet if it's transient or solid they'd better put it in an answer? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;...in my experience, things like that tend to fan the flames of dissent rather than douse them. As a sensible, reasonable person you may differ -- and kudos if so! -- but the system is built to deal with the 99%, rather than the 1%.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can't argue hard against the experience you relate. I have been a moderator more than once in my life, and I cannot state with head-to-toe purity that I was maligned and there was no cause for corrective measure. Finding myself on the harsh side of the 1% knife is discomfitting and has me philosphically pondering the longterm cost/benefit of false positives on community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;    &lt;p&gt;...you put me into the category of troublemakers for which there is no hope and flicked the delete button.&#xA;    ...now I know where I stand in the community's regard. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;These too seem to overstate the situation. Perhaps you did that intentionally, to make a point or for comic effect? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wrote and deleted three variants of those two statements over several minutes before finally deciding they held enough of my personal truth to let stand. As I just did again now. I don't think it overstated. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is slightly misfocussed though, as I don't truly feel it as &lt;em&gt;&quot;personal judgement against&lt;/em&gt; [me] &lt;em&gt;&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, rather something larger, subtle, systemic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;...now I know where I stand in the community's regard. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I&quot; here might be &quot;this&quot;, or &quot;this complaint&quot;, or &quot;the category of interaction signified by...&quot;, or someother such awkward phrasing that uglifies even as it strives to clarify.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I appreciate you have taken the time to engage in this conversation thoughtfully, reasoning things out.

Belated as it is, it’s time for a refresh of &lt;strong&gt;Community Promotion Ads&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What are Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool desktop and tablet apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;script packs or power tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cool events or conferences&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The goal is for future visitors to find out about &lt;em&gt;the stuff your community deems important&lt;/em&gt;. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are &lt;em&gt;relevant to your own community's interests&lt;/em&gt;, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why do we reset the ads every year?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How does it work?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answers you post to this question &lt;em&gt;must&lt;/em&gt; conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All answers should be in the exact form of:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xA;&#xA;   [1]: http://image-url&#xA;   [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;strong&gt;do not add anything else to the body of the post&lt;/strong&gt;. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The question must always be tagged with the magic &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/community-ads&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;community-ads&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;community-ads&lt;/a&gt; tag.

The moderator who initially closed it, without justification or explanation of the previous faulty judgement retracted it after being shown not to have read either question, and then quickly re-closed it again as being off-topic. It seems to me that this moderator isn't so much concerned with actually reading the questions they come across but indiscriminately chucking close reasons at questions and seeing which will stick. My &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1528890/wipe-the-hpa-and-dco-using-cygwin&quot;&gt;last question&lt;/a&gt; was also closed by the same moderator for the same reason just a week ago.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been on SU for 5 years now, spent my time trying to carefully ask meaningful questions, and never have I come across the case of command-line tools being off-topic - quite the opposite, as a significant portion of the questions and answers that I've learnt from involve &quot;recommending&quot; a CLI tool that is the industry standard. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/22238/how-to-securely-delete-files-stored-on-a-ssd&quot;&gt;equivalent question&lt;/a&gt; for SATA SSDs off-topic?

Is &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1373948/how-to-wipe-unallocated-disk-space-in-windows&quot;&gt;this question of my own&lt;/a&gt; off-topic? There's absolutely nothing in the closed question that makes it a &quot;tool recommendation&quot; question any more than these above questions. The tools being talked about here - &lt;code&gt;dd&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;shred&lt;/code&gt;, Secure Erase, &lt;code&gt;hdparm&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;ffmpeg&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;imagemagick&lt;/code&gt;, and so on - are often not only industry standards, but the only possible (non-proprietary) solution to these questions, and asking whether they exist for a specific function or not has never before been considered a shopping question. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If my question remains closed while the identical, highly-voted questions linked above are not going to be closed anytime soon, then the only thing left to wonder is why the &quot;rules&quot; are being applied inconsistently for higher value, higher traffic questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="323079" LastEditorUserId="323079" LastEditDate="2020-03-05T18:19:43.567" LastActivityDate="2020-03-06T05:25:06.910" Title="Since when were command-line tools off-topic?"

In other words, '...: made some little changes,... earlier...: added much info to make the question even more clear.'&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After making the question clearest, finally, when I observed, it is still not re-opened, I asked in the comments so that anyone might reply, [but, after not receiving any replies], I asked one of the folks who closed it, for, what needs to be done now, but I didn't received a reply even then also.

Thank you for trying to re-open it!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question might be wordy and hyper-analytical.  By that I mean, you might be analyzing to the point that you miss some of your own mistakes.  Be patient with me, I think your question is sufficiently clear to be understood and deserves to be answered, but if you adjust your style your question will be more appealing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is an excepts:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I have a total of 4 disks (2 SSDs, and 2 HDDs). The three (2 SSDs (are&#xA;  in use), and 1 HDD (&lt;em&gt;was in use&lt;/em&gt; [because it is not working now (as&#xA;  explained below)])).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here, you didn't finish the second sentence.  Also, you used a mathematical style of triple-bracketing that resulted in an extraneous bracket.  It can be understood without being hyper-clarified.  This is a rephrasing: &quot;Three of the harddrives (2 SSD's and 1 HDD)...&quot;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I removed the fact that isn't pertinent to this paragraph because it's mentioned later and redundancy is seldom appreciated in academic and technical writing; so, you don't need to say that it is broken.  And, it just trails off, just like the original...  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, the first paragraph or two are going to make or break you when you write something, you know?  Even if the rest of the article is great, the first and last paragraphs are premier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, if you get a recommendation to rewrite you should just do it.  Usually, questions are re-opened on SE.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, it was a little bit chatty.

A moderator does not stop being a community member, once they are elected to become a moderator, this means they should positively contribute to the community.  &lt;strong&gt;The only thing that changes is their vote is binding, and while I expect a moderator to take that into account, they should not stop being a community member.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While I have provided an explanation for each and every example, my viewpoint is not going to easily be changed, I do not agree with your conclusion.  &lt;strong&gt;I do not see the overuse of moderator rights in the examples you provided.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Indeed I am one of those community members that rather delete low quality content then try to improve it.  &lt;strong&gt;I have very specific reasons for that, if you have ever attempted to get a question answered on &lt;a href=&quot;https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/ie11-startup-tabs-restore-last-session-not-working/5d81bb08-fd59-4312-9f86-be35fd5c7258?tm=1397778028691&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Microsoft Answers&lt;/a&gt;, you can understand the frustation of trying to read a question and expecting a clear concise detailed answer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="83283" LastEditDate="2020-04-08T06:03:29.213" LastActivityDate="2020-04-08T06:03:29.213" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Changes are either completely superfluous or actively harm readability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The grammatical improves contained in this edit proposal are superfluous. There are no grammatical or clarity issues with the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This reminded me of the time when I was &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1534091/how-do-low-critical-battery-alarms-and-their-corresponding-triggers-work-on-wind/1534093#1534093&quot;&gt;confronted with this&lt;/a&gt; on an answer to one of my questions.  Based on the revision 1, the answer had said:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;XP for your settings above, will give you a warning at 10% (visual and/or sound) and then at 3% it will hibernate. The difference in 10% and 3% normally gives you enough time to plug in the AC Adapter. That is how I did it when I had XP many years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answer seemed not bad, but when I reflected back after seeing this answer, I felt pretty sure that XP should trigger the final warning before going into hibernation on 3%, although it does not have the &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;reserve battery level&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; thing which Windows 7, 8, and 10 have.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although the user did approve the edit, he/she claimed back via this comment:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It was many years ago that I used this. I recall I would get a low battery warning and I would plug it in. I cannot remember about a second warning.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So XP and Vista does NOT have the second warning?  Instead it only issues the &amp;quot;first&amp;quot; low battery warning and then simply hibernates in the critical level?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If they DO issue the second warning, then can my edit please be approved?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user1136553" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2020-04-27T10:12:15.863" Title="Suggested edit about Windows XP and Vista laptops' first and &quot;second&quot; warnings about low battery power has been rejected" Tags="|support|status-declined|" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The current statement and what you want to edit it to are saying the same exact thing. If you are trying to say there are three warnings, then you have introduced a grammatical error, and that is a reason to reject the edit proposal. I don't believe your edit clarifies the author's statement, in fact I would argue, your edit makes it less clear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So XP and Vista does NOT have the second warning?

Your edit proposal has grammatical mistakes, and while I could fix those grammatical mistakes, I also believe the edit not to be substantial even if it was grammatically correct.  I also believe your edit proposal makes the statement more confusing.  &lt;strong&gt;Based on the explanation you have provided, I am even more convinced, that edit is invalid since you are not clear on what the actual behavior actually is.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-12T13:47:12.783" LastActivityDate="2020-04-14T19:34:36.220" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That's not what I wrote. In fact, I intentionally avoided saying &amp;quot;the best system to use&amp;quot;. I said, &amp;quot;important/relevant for the stated purposes&amp;quot;. There's a difference. I looked up and have not seen me ever stating &amp;quot;best&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I paraphrased one of your questions, in my paraphrase I used the word “best”, but “better” and “best” mean basically the same thing in the English language in my opinion.  I have now specified the fact, I paraphrased one of your many questions, later in my answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your answer is inconsistent. After you tried to insult my intelligence by saying that better and best are the same in English and wished me a good day, I don't have to continue this discussion&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I respectfully disagree that my answer is inconsistent.  It certainly wasn't my intention to insult your intelligence, when I indicated that a question that uses the word &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;best&amp;quot;, are virtually identical in my opinion. &lt;strong&gt;While it's understandable you are upset about the closure of your question, it seems based on the tone of your most recent comments, you are not assuming I have the best intentions.&lt;/strong&gt;  I am not the first person within the community you have become noticeable upset with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, I kindly ask to vote for reopening the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I respectfully decline to issue a reopen vote on your current question.

Your question even in its current form cannot be answered in a couple of sentences.  &lt;strong&gt;In fact, the one answer you did receive, is actually extremely low quality in my opinion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is a difference between opinion-based answers and opinion-based questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A question is closed when it’s asking for the community's opinion.  &lt;strong&gt;That is indeed the case when a question asks for, and I paraphrase, “... what is the best file system to use”.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my understanding, though some answers in the comments are opinion-based, other answers are argument-based.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commentary is not an answer to a question.

Note that the above list excludes questions that were already deleted since the database was last updated. Also, this is not a complete list: the query excludes questions closed as duplicates, so there are some more questions affected by this bug that are not in the list. Finally, it seems like this site is the most affected by this bug: there are more Super User questions in the list than from any other site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More information: in the past, all questions that were migrated from other sites and later closed would be marked as &quot;rejected migrations&quot; and would thus be locked, and locked questions were excluded from the affected Roomba criteria. Because it was safe to assume that a closed question that was migrated from another site would also be locked, this code optimization was implemented, perhaps because querying for a question's locked status would take more time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, there are two caveats with this assumption: first, prior to 2012, migration rejection wasn't a thing: closing a migrated question wouldn't lock it. Second, in June 2019, the system was changed to no longer mark migrated questions as &quot;rejected&quot; if they were closed a long time after they were migrated. Both of these mean that closing migrated questions doesn't always lock them, and so we end up with the not-true assumption.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="222470" LastActivityDate="2020-05-17T06:14:48.780" Title="Several questions on this site meet the criteria for automatic deletion, but aren't being deleted due to a bug.

You can check out the total amount of reputation required to perform certain actions &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/privileges&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. In your case, you need a total of 15 rep for upvotes and total of 125 rep for downvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The primary way to gain reputation is by posting your own questions/answers and having people upvote them (you get 10 rep per upvote currently). So, to plug these numbers into the &quot;real&quot; world, this means that on one account (ex. the one you are using now), you need to post any combination of one or more questions or answers which a &lt;em&gt;total&lt;/em&gt; of 2 people upvote (20 rep) to gain the ability to upvote others and 13 people upvote (11 more, counting the initial 2 people before) to gain the ability to downvote others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you are a low-rep user, you can also gain reputation through other actions (such as suggesting question/answer edits and having them approved), but this isn't as effective at gaining rep as having people vote on your questions/answers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Wow.

Answers should be focused on answering the author's question.  A question that was asked May 2015, more than likely, was using Windows 8.1 Update 1 instead of a Windows 10 Insider Preview (1507) build.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a high quality answer applies to both Windows 8 and Windows 10 then it makes sense to update an existing question's tags to reflect that fact.  If that is not the case, then changing the question's tags, should not be done without significant thought on the impact with regards to the existing answers the question has received.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't actually see anything that would justify adding the Windows 10 tag to that question.  &lt;strong&gt;The accepted answer is still accurate and applies to every supported version of Windows.&lt;/strong&gt;  The author never specifically specified they were using Windows 10.  The only mention of Windows 10 was in temporary commentary by other users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I thought the main impact of StackExchange comes from helping many users and not just one. Then the clearer its made where the solution applies, the more people can find it and profit from it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is something that is only true in specific situations. If a question was asked 60 days before Windows 10 was released, and the author of the question made no mention they were using Windows 10, then it doesn’t make sense to change the tag that was used to Windows 10.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides, just changing the tag of a question, is rarely helpful by itself.  In this case the question was asked over 5 years ago. Changing the tag won’t make the question easier to find.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I actually don’t agree with that first edit that added the Windows 10 tag in the first place. I absolutely, think removing the Windows 8 tag, was an unhelpful edit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The addition of the Windows tag was a compromise, I am willing to accept the judgment of a moderator on that decision, it probably was the correct tag in the first place.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="83283" LastEditDate="2020-07-27T00:10:21.990" LastActivityDate="2020-07-27T00:10:21.990" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Enterprise services architecture generally includes high-level components and principles of object-oriented design employed to match the current heterogeneous world of IT architecture.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Techopedia explains &lt;em&gt;Enterprise Services&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The concept of enterprise services was created in 2002 by Hasso Plattner, the chairman of SAP AG. Enterprise services architecture includes layers of components aggregating data and application functions from applications, which creates reusable elements, which are also called modules. The components use enterprise services for communication. Enterprise services architecture minimizes the complexity of the connections among the components to facilitate reuse. The enterprise services architecture allows deployment of Web services to create applications within the current infrastructure, increasing business value.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Enterprise services architecture emphasizes abstraction and componentization, which provides a mechanism for employing both the required internal and external business standards. The main goal of enterprise services architecture is to create an IT environment in which standardized components can aggregate and work together to reduce complexity. To create reusable and useful components, it is equally important to build an infrastructure allowing components to conform to the changing needs of the environment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.igi-global.com/dictionary/enterprise-services/9998&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;What is Enterprise Services | IGI Global&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;What is Enterprise Services&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;are “a standards-based way of encapsulating &lt;strong&gt;enterprise&lt;/strong&gt; functionality and exposing it as a reusable business service that can be combined with other &lt;strong&gt;services&lt;/strong&gt; to meet new requirements. &lt;strong&gt;Enterprise services&lt;/strong&gt;, defined by SAP and its partners and customers, can be assembled together to compose new applications or enable new business processes.” (Source: &lt;strong&gt;Enterprise Services&lt;/strong&gt; Wiki, Service Oriented Architecture) &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.igi-global.com/chapter/sap-business-blueprint/20269&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Learn more in: What is SAP Business Blueprint?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are reusable business &lt;strong&gt;services&lt;/strong&gt; which &lt;strong&gt;enterprise&lt;/strong&gt; functionality is encapsulated in a standards-based way.

This puts them above the more mundane spammers that frequent our site to advise us of their nice floral boutique shops never to be heard from again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These attacks have happened before &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/13818/korean-spam-attack&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/10730/sudden-influx-of-korean-spam&quot;&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; and we have tried to relax the system after some time only to be met with another influx.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lacking a system that is flexible enough to meet the demands of the community I would argue that the current block, while heavy-handed, is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless the current block can be relaxed while simultaneously retaining a sufficiently strict edge to prevent future waves I do not see simply removing it as a solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The current regex based system may not allow sufficient flexibility to suit a large number of use cases. If it is not up to the task then perhaps a new system needs to be put in to use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a primarily English speaking site we already enforce rules that the majority of a post should be in the English language, but there will always be situations where users need to use their native alphabet to demonstrate a problem correctly and succinctly.

If the spam has subsided then nothing needs to be done, but if it happens again we need to know that something &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; be done &lt;em&gt;going forwards&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="19943" LastActivityDate="2020-09-02T16:46:44.977" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Legal questions have nothing to do with computer hardware or software and so are off topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the question is specific enough about both the software and a &lt;em&gt;single&lt;/em&gt; licence then you might be able to say &amp;quot;section 4 paragraph 8 point 7 states... so you are/aren't allowed to use your software&amp;quot; but asking about two licences and whether they allow or are compatible is heading into lawyer territory and far too broad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you look at the linked questions above you will find where I, personally, would draw the line but that line is grey and faded and subjective rather than objective.

Corporate security is designed with insider threats in mind in addition to external threats. If a user is granted administrative access, they are given those rights for a specific purpose (or set of purposes) to meet the minimum required for their work. If complete control is granted, then the user is given the keys to the kingdom and nothing can stop them from engaging in prohibited activities and deleting the evidence.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;One of the primary goals of adversaries is to find ways to disengage security systems. If a well known method exists to disable the security system, the system is not well designed or implemented. Therefore vendors of those products take great care and go to great lengths to avoid those kinds of vulnerabilities. This is the primary reason why all of the previous SE answers to this question are no longer valid. No doubt McAfee scours the internet for questions like this and then deliberately re-designs the application to prevent those 'tips and tricks' for disabling the software.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Bypassing the corporate security systems is not in the scope of this SE but more importantly is &lt;em&gt;almost certainly&lt;/em&gt; against your corporate TOS (Terms of Service). Making modifications to the security software would definitely be frowned upon by your IT department. If they wanted you to be able to make such a change, there are settings within McAfee ePO (the control center for McAfee corporate software) that can grant the user those capabilities. You should definitely be engaging with your IT department if the McAfee software is impeding your ability to do your job. They will want to know about the issue and work towards a solution for you.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, what you've asked for is a tutorial on how to pick a lock.

My reasoning is based on the one you revealed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have flagged your comment and I'll keep posting my warning. The question is about a Mac, but that does not give you any reason to say &amp;quot;so this is the same for almost any OS&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot; is not equivalent to &amp;quot;for almost any OS&amp;quot;. Your statement about Linux (I assume it's a true statement) makes the former false but the latter can still be true. I can see the answer was edited (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/posts/1599622/revisions&quot;&gt;revision 4&lt;/a&gt;) and &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot; turned into &amp;quot;for almost any OS&amp;quot;. I don't know if it was because of your comment. Anyway, considering what you wrote about Linux, adding &amp;quot;almost&amp;quot; was the right thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still you kept attacking the phrase &amp;quot;for almost any OS&amp;quot;. Even in your answer here you said:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I'm tired of repeating that the answer made a claim about &amp;quot;almost all OSes&amp;quot;, and the whole purpose of my comment on the answer was to show how the claim fails.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The claim doesn't fail. Your statement about Linux falsifies &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot;, but it &lt;em&gt;doesn't&lt;/em&gt; falsify &amp;quot;for almost any OS&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;almost all OSes&amp;quot;. The key word is &amp;quot;almost&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMO a comment about Linux could be useful here (moderately, but still), if only targeted more on sharing knowledge than trying to falsify somebody else's statement (which, after being edited, &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; true).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It could have been like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(You) Forcing a power off is not the best option for a Linux system whose keyboard has a SysRq key. For example […]. Therefore IMO &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot; is not entirely true.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(The author) Noted. I changed &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;for almost any OS&amp;quot;. Anyway macOS is not Linux and the SysRq key doesn't exist in a Mac.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(You) True, macOS is not Linux. I will let my comment stay though. Linux users who happen to wander here may benefit from it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a perfect world you would be happy because you learnt something about Mac, the author would be happy because they learnt something about Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I were you I might argue about &amp;quot;for any OS&amp;quot;, but I certainly wouldn't attack the phrase &amp;quot;for &lt;em&gt;almost&lt;/em&gt; any OS&amp;quot;. If my comment about Linux was deleted, I would probably let it go. Well, maybe I wouldn't, but this would be a mistake.

You were having an argument about an answer, not just attacking a user for the sake of it. It doesn't matter (for the purpose of moderation) who were right in the argument, what matters is that at some point your dialog was no longer constructive, so you should have been told to disengage. I see no indication that you would have ignored a message from the mod telling you to stop: that's when the suspension is typically warranted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try to take this the right way: don't get insulted even if you feel a mod was not 100% fair (nobody feels that when they are suspended!), instead, think about how &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; can improve so that the situation doesn't happen again.

There is no passive aggression in the pile of comments site members — and not just moderators — have posted on that closed question. Multiple people are explaining the issue. Yet you refuse to ignore it and instead come here to complain referring to yourself in the third person; that alone is a &lt;em&gt;massive&lt;/em&gt; act of passive aggression on your part.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If after you read all of this you are still insistent that Firefox is issues that need to be fixed, it might be best to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;report it directly to the developers at Mozilla&lt;/a&gt;.

Saying something like that is just as bad as saying “I am n00b…” and such.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Meaning: Your questions are extremely basic questions that do not require hand-holding for anyone here to explain to you and when you say “…explain like I'm 5…” you are expecting the community to babysit you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;This community is here to help you as long as you make some basic effort to get yourself started.&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Neither question shows you making any effort at all even with the “Please explain like I'm 5 (&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/eli5/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ELI5&lt;/a&gt;)…” stuff removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally you say about &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1605653/&quot;&gt;the second question&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“…do you really want me to post three separate questions?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nope. All of those questions can be bundled up based on this statement you made in that question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I Googled this, but all the answers were too complicated…”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the problem with that: You state that you believe we want you to post three separate questions when the reality is that question does not have three separate questions, when you have one question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know what any of this means! Help me and explain it like I am 5 years old!”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your core issue with &lt;em&gt;both&lt;/em&gt; questions is you are asking piles of questions without even stating a problem.

They show no effort and are so open ended that they are simply not questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So that said, I would recommend you just use the software with default settings. And if/when you want to ask a question that desires to address an issue &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; that, then that is what the community is for.

Many times what I do includes breaking up a huge wall of text in a single massive paragraph into smaller chunks. It’s easier to read that way and I believe helps the most get positive interactions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1604610/167207&quot;&gt;The macOS Big Sur Question.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, I look at something like &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1604610/167207&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; and I immediately stop wanting to read when I see the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Big Sur Update Problems , After Update Fails, Space is Still Occupied”&lt;/strong&gt;: Your “question” starts out with something very unhelpful: Saying you have “Big Sur Update Problems.” No disrespect but what does that tell anyone? That you updated to Big Sur and now have problems? Your title should focus on the actual problems. So I fixed it by changing it to: “After a failed Big Sur Update, of 17GB previously available only 5GB remains free on my machine. What to do next?” Also, that original title is not a sentence but each word is capitalized which is not great grammar-wise.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Those Subheads Aren’t Helpful&lt;/strong&gt;: The original post had the following four subheads “&lt;strong&gt;How We Got Here&lt;/strong&gt;,” “&lt;strong&gt;The Problem&lt;/strong&gt;,” “&lt;strong&gt;My Theory&lt;/strong&gt;” and “&lt;strong&gt;The Question&lt;/strong&gt;.” No disrespect but this is not the kind of question that needs some movie-like 3-4 act structure: Your original Big Sur update failed, 12GB of 17GB takes up space and now you don’t know what the next steps are. This can all be stated without the heads.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asking “Anyone with similar experience?” at the end&lt;/strong&gt;: This might be just me, but asking something like that &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; you have stated you have a problem and outlined the details is a bit pandering/coy. Do you want people to respond with answers or “Me too!” responses like: “This happened to me too! How do you solve it? Let me know!” By basic definition of what this site is, &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; who can answer your question has had experience and will provide you with an answer. Please do not coyly ask for commiseration when what you want is a solution.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, I have &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1607596/167207&quot;&gt;posted an answer to your Big Sur question&lt;/a&gt; after my cleanup of the question. Here is what the question &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/1604610/1&quot;&gt;looked like originally&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/1604610/2&quot;&gt;here is my cleaned up and updated revision&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1607319/167207&quot;&gt;The External PCI Card and GPU Question.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And in the case of your issues with an external PCI adapter and graphics card, your original formatting was truly confusing so I have updated that as well; your &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/1607319/2&quot;&gt;original version&lt;/a&gt; can be seen here and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/revisions/1607319/3&quot;&gt;updated version can be seen here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was equally a simply issue that was hard to decipher because you used things like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Quote formatting where there was no quote.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Bold and italicized text that didn’t need to be bolded or italicized.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Linking to an image on your Google Drive when it could simply have been added as an embedded image in the post.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Listing specs but doing so in such a haphazard way it was hard to understand what is what.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And finally, you are referring to “EXP GDC Beast v8 Mini PCI-E” only by it’s technical name and never clearly stating that it is an external GPU adapter. Not only is that a very niche item, most people really don’t know what that is. So just using jargon further makes it hard for people to understand what you are dealing with.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1608710/167207&quot;&gt;The Follow Up External PCI Card and GPU Question.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am loathe to update this answer yet again, but I would like to shed light on a &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1608710/laptop-suddenly-reboots-mid-game-but-not-in-stress-tests-when-using-an-exp-gdc-m#comment2452751_1608710&quot;&gt;recent interaction you had with me in the comments&lt;/a&gt; on a new question of yours specific to the external GPU adapter you are using:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“@Giacomo1968 &lt;strong&gt;I don't see your issue.

This is how you deal with people who disagree with you?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What the heck do you want from a community that provides you with rock solid advice for free?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;On the one hand, you &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/14335/167207&quot;&gt;come here complaining about supposedly “slow” response&lt;/a&gt; from Super User on December 5th to lack of responses to &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1604610/167207&quot;&gt;a question posted on November 24th&lt;/a&gt; and another on &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1607319/167207&quot;&gt;December 4th&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And then on the other hand — when you finally get attention for your questions after whining about “slow” responses — you then insult people? Why should anyone help you now? Either this community is too slow or when we respond we are to be insulted as some kind of “loser” who lives in a basement?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations! You purchased a piece of endless tweaker hardware for $40 to $50 that “promises” to connect your laptop to an external GPU. Mazel tov my friend! Hardware that you claim will work by &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1608710/167207&quot;&gt;then you state you need to &lt;em&gt;literally&lt;/em&gt; wrap in aluminum foil to get it to work&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“To test if electrical interference and related noise from other devices was the cause, by securely wrapping all cables from the EXP GDC in aluminum foil.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But when somebody dares to point out to you that &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt; — just &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt; — this questionable piece of hardware &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be the cause of these issues, you lash out at them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can’t have it both ways:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You want a fast response but you don’t want any criticism of the hardware you are struggling with. And you engage in personally insulting those who try to help you using the “tried and true” nonsense insult that implies “you spend too much time here.” What else could implying someone is in a basement like a “loser” responding to you mean?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When the response is slow you are oblivious to the fact you are using niche hardware and perhaps people can’t really give you advice.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps I can give you a much better tact: You are constantly pointing to other forums where people clearly have more experience with this external GPU device. Perhaps it is better if you post on &lt;em&gt;those&lt;/em&gt; forums about this specific piece of hardware. And perhaps when you get a solution after hashing things out there, you post your solution here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Why complain about Super User’s lack of response to external GPU issues when you clearly know there are other forums that can better address your niche issues?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, once bitten twice shy: I’m avoiding your posts moving forward for all of the above reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="167207" LastEditorUserId="167207" LastEditDate="2020-12-16T15:54:38.100" LastActivityDate="2020-12-16T15:54:38.100" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You can't just strip the watermark off and upload it&#xA;to YouTube as your own creation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, not everyone lives in a country where American laws apply. Copyright laws are sometimes quite different from those in America (keyword fair-use).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, Why is it assumed that I am trying to re-upload TikTok videos and pass them off as my own? I could be removing the watermark to protect the privacy of a TikTok user. For example, a TikTok user is filming something criminal or morally bad and you want to share the video on another platform, but you do not want to start a witch hunt on the original uploader.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another example is a Tiktok user who likes to show some naked skin.

That's the root cause of what was ultimately a justified action, but it's not the answer to what OP said, and after spending a small but significant amount of time reviewing, I'm noticing some patterns over and over again that jibe with their complaint.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general pattern: &lt;strong&gt;SU has a problem with newbie biting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This pattern includes, in my experience:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Curt, unhelpful, unkind comments left by reviewers in general&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Long-time high-rep users being unfriendly/unkind enough to warrant having their comments flagged off&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Questions being closed without so much as a perfunctory or even Pro-forma &amp;quot;here's what you did wrong&amp;quot; commentary&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Widespread&lt;/em&gt; misuse of two specific closure votes:&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;Needs details or clarity&amp;quot; when the question is detailed enough on its own to be answered, and sometimes, already was answered &lt;em&gt;and accepted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;Needs focus&amp;quot; when only one question is was asked, and the user is speculating about possible solutions in the question (or in some cases, just giving further info!)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Pile-on downvoting in meta&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;General stinginess with upvoting on main (even when the questions &amp;quot;show research effort, are useful, and clear,&amp;quot; as the tooltip on the button says.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;VTCs for things where downvotes are more appropriate&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Two things this post is not:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, this is not a callout post. I have two or three specific people in mind with some of the issues I mentioned above, but the thrust of this post is the site's general atmosphere rather than the conduct of those people. If you think I'm talking about you, I probably am, but I don't want to litigate that here and turn what is supposed to be gentle ask to consider the guy on the other side of the keyboard into a public drama fire. I am not asking you to account for your actions, I am not slagging you off. &lt;em&gt;I am asking you to reflect&lt;/em&gt;, nothing more.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, this post is not an attempt to relitigate specific review votes in specific circumstances. Everyone has their reasons for voting the way they do, and I sincerely do not think anyone who's been here long enough to obtain tens of thousands of points is some mustachioed cartoon villain or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theregister.com/data_centre/bofh/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;BOFH expy&lt;/a&gt; who's out to make people miserable on purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What this post is, is me imploring reviewers to consider their actions before taking them, not just on the quality of the site, but also on the people you will impact by those actions. And I don't just mean by your votes; I mean how you communicate their consequences. I would gently ask that you consider the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Many users don't know what they don't know&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have a high rep here, that indicates you are highly knowledgeable in a few technical aspects. Lots of the questioners coming in don't have that same knowledge and don't even know how to ask the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; question yet because they're missing some vital piece of terminology or understanding of the subject matter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nothing about SU indicates that it's for experts only. &lt;em&gt;That is because it isn't&lt;/em&gt;. The audience and average user not being experts mean that they will come along with objectively stupid questions that any familiarity with the subject matter would answer. But we don't, and shouldn't, require that familiarity in the first place. People do come here at the ends of their ropes, meaning &lt;em&gt;they don't know where else to go&lt;/em&gt;. Often in that many words - and yet we nuke their questions with the &amp;quot;clarity&amp;quot; reason because they &amp;quot;didn't show research effort&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With all due respect, what research effort would you have them expend? Their post already indicated they don't know where to go!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is it more useful, to SU, to them, and to the people who may encounter the question in the future, to comment asking for clarity and edit once that clarity is received, or immediately write off the question as unsalvageable and silently VTC it? If that clarity never comes, meaning the question is non-useful, by all means, you should VTC it, with the full knowledge that ROV is a black hole (more often than not, no amount of editing will get a question out of there, especially for the more subjective close reasons. Anything that's marked [closed] can be considered the site's trash bin.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want you to think about whether the &amp;quot;clarity&amp;quot; is actually lacking. I find that it's obvious, more often than not, what is being asked. If it's not blindingly obvious, but it's there, that's an explicitly stated purpose of the edit button. If it's an &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem&quot;&gt;XY question&lt;/a&gt;, why not ask if their goal is X?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Closing a question is a hostile action regardless of intention&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...in that, it will be received as such. &lt;em&gt;Every&lt;/em&gt; criticism of the Stack* network you find online includes the willingness of reviewers to take adverse action on otherwise reasonable, useful questions at the drop of a hat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That pisses people off. There's no way it &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; piss people off. They were not attacked, but they don't know it yet. Not unless they have spent enough time on the site to get their head around some of the more unintuitive aspects, because:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;The rep requirements have pathological downsides that are guaranteed to result in users doing things they're not supposed to do&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...and resulting in annoyance for all parties concerned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's consider the case of a random Google user who encountered a useful answer here. They find a well-written question, a solution that completely solves their problem. What will their first instinct be? &lt;em&gt;Thank the person who made it!&lt;/em&gt; &amp;quot;I'm gonna go create an account and give this guy kudos. This was awesome!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And so we have JaneNewbie.. 1 point, no badges.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what do they do? First, they try to upvote the answer, question, or both. Blocked. Angry red popup box. She doesn't get that ability until 15.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Jane thinks, &amp;quot;Okay, votes must be serious here. Maybe I can just say 'thanks' in a comment&amp;quot;? Blocked. She can't comment until 50 (and she shouldn't use comments for that anyway, but she doesn't know that yet).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only avenue left to her is the answer box, which she uses because she doesn't know better yet. It looks like any other input box and fulfills the immediate goal of letting her communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If she comes back later, she sees that her well-intentioned attempt to thank someone who helped her with some great content has wound up with an unappreciative flag on the account and possibly some restrictions depending on how many -1s they got piled on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now she's annoyed. If incredibly persistent or annoyed, she might wind up on meta and ask what I call the &amp;quot;y u do dis&amp;quot; special. The tone of this post will be upset. They will say unkind things. They will accuse the reviewers of being thoughtless jerks, or worse. Said question will be invariably bombarded with downvotes (likely with some rude comments added that barely qualify as nice enough not to be flag-bait) and closed as a duplicate because this pattern is hardly new.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;JaneNewbie closes her tab, leaving SU, likely never to return, soured on the whole experience. If asked, she will refer to SU as an unfriendly bunch of elitists who got unreasonably mad at her when all he wanted to do was thank a guy who helped her out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Jane is annoyed because this entire process was a waste of her time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reviewers and longtime members are annoyed because another clueless newb didn't read the tour and didn't get it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This entire pattern is harmful. It could also be short-circuited in a few ways.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Some of the basic expectations could be made more apparent upfront. Not in a &amp;quot;this is how the site works&amp;quot; way like the tour does, but in a &amp;quot;don't make this handful of common mistakes&amp;quot; way &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; the newbie takes their first action.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The upvote requirement could be lowered to 1. Failing that:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The person who reviews Jane's bogus answer still needs to flag it for not being an answer, but they could add a gentle comment (&lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; comment, these shouldn't be piled on by five different people) about why they're doing what they're doing. Failing that:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When the user winds up in meta, they could not be  bombarded with downvotes (anyone who uses a site with a karma system can tell you that being downvoted is unpleasant, regardless of the site's justification for those votes). Failing that:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;They could be explained to, patiently, how the site works.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any of these steps taken alone could very potentially turn 1 point JaneNewbie into 10K point Jane months to years down the line. Or, at the very least, they won't go on to turn other users off the site because their very first interaction with it was filled with unfriendliness.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You'll note that at no point here did I talk about Jane's behavior. First off, Jane is a newbie. She's ranting on meta because she feels attacked and doesn't know any better yet. You, on the other hand, replying to her post, probably do know better. What's your excuse?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you've been in tech long enough to back up your rep, you already know the golden rule: &lt;em&gt;Users don't read docs&lt;/em&gt;. Users will take context clues, they can be guided, but most of them will never touch the tour. The tour is tl;dr. JaneNewbie will do stupid things out of ignorance, and expecting her (or most users) to understand how the site works in whole before using it is simply not realistic. People with experience in technology and psychology that outmatches that of every person that will read this post &lt;em&gt;combined&lt;/em&gt; have been trying to do so for years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SU is not going to be the final bastion that finally gets users to RTFM. We can either rage against it &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt; we can accept that users will do stupid things out of ignorance and dealt with it in the most effective way possible for all involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Nothing about what I've asked here requires compromising SU's quality&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm certainly not asking you to flag crap less or vote in ways contrary to the guidelines. The guidelines are reliable, and their precise application has led to this and the rest of the SE network being a fantastic resource.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But it &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; require effort. It takes more effort to be friendly and helpful than it does to be unfriendly and unhelpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It also takes more time, but SU isn't that busy compared to some of the other sites on the network. Most of the queues are either at zero or in the single digits more often than not. I don't think that there is some time pressure that requires you to blast through your 20 reviews/queue/day in a big hurry, and I think you agree.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The common refrain on meta here and on other Stack* metas is that people don't want to waste their time, not with clueless noobs, not with &amp;quot;help vampires,&amp;quot; not with whatever.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To that end, my final ask:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Why are you here?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're not a paid employee of SE, and you've got tons of rep... why are you here? Why did you spend hours researching and crafting answers to questions, reviewing and editing questions and answers and so forth?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's probably because you wanted to help people. At the end of the day, you are providing a service.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of these things I just got done complaining about? They represent failures to help people. Is it &lt;em&gt;genuinely&lt;/em&gt; going to take you that much more time to write a thoughtful comment when someone screws up rather than smacking that &amp;quot;close&amp;quot; button and moving on to the next review out of your 20? Is it &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; worth forever turning off someone because you were afraid you were going to spend effort being nice to someone who might not reciprocate?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is all words on a screen at the end of the day. The time expenditure on being nice is minimal, and it pays dividends.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to help people more. That's why I'm writing this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope you do too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Concrete takeaways (tl;dr)&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Well, that was all very touchy-feely and nice, but what are you asking?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Vote up more, in general. Votes on main SU are for usefulness, not exceptionality. There are a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; of good questions and answers out there that don't deserve the 0 scores they have, and comparatively few crap questions and answers that have an unjustifiably high score.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Consider whether your VTC shouldn't be a downvote instead.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Remember that a VTC effectively means &amp;quot;I think this is such crap that it should go away.&amp;quot; It is &amp;quot;delete&amp;quot; with extra steps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Consider whether something that already has one downvote needs four more.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Explain your work when you VTC things. Any first VTC without a comment is probably unhelpful in most cases. You &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; going to tick people off, necessarily. Nobody likes being told they screwed up... but you can and should soften the blow.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;That goes &lt;em&gt;double&lt;/em&gt; if you're a moderator and your &amp;quot;votes&amp;quot; are binding. The automatic header that comes up when you close something lacks critical context. It often fails to explain &amp;quot;why&amp;quot;. &lt;em&gt;Write a comment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Consider whether an auto-message is the most appropriate way to inform someone they screwed up. Auto-messages are factual, but they are officious, not friendly.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If a newbie disagrees with you on some aspect of site policy, consider that it's out of ignorance first and not out of malice or because they don't like you.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;tl;dr for the tl;dr:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the love of $deity, be more friendly to the users. It won't hurt you at all, and it won't break the site in the least.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="220919" LastEditorUserId="167207" LastEditDate="2021-01-08T22:47:34.460" LastActivityDate="2021-01-15T11:48:25.297" Title="I think SU has a newbie-biting problem" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="10" CommentCount="23" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I promise this isn't a wookiee defence.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Comments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not a fan of canned comments - but as someone who used to write specific, detailed comments on every post I closed as a regular user and a moderator, it takes up a lot of bandwidth. I'd love for folks with the time/energy to do so to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do think that we do abuse comments a bit. They're a source of friction, and sometimes even experienced users get it wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Its worth remembering that we often don't have a choice over review autocomments, and they were put in place, pretty much because it was an option between &lt;em&gt;no comments&lt;/em&gt; and canned ones - if folks wouldn't comment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And well, sometimes, people don't want help to be better. They want an answer. Now. And that's wearying on some folks and we get grumpy. Its no excuse, of course.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess for us long time users, sometimes it worth reminding ourselves other don't have a decade or half decade of experience, or the opportunity to grow with the site. As much as we share and 'teach' our knowledge on PC, to some extent, helping people get to grips with effective site usage is something we need to sustain ourselves over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On the Ewok problem&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Back in the good old days, Jeff Atwood compared the original trilogy to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/05/31/the-stack-overflow-trilogy/&quot;&gt;star wars movies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One word: ewoks. But also, Leia in a bikini. Still canon, but little odder than the earlier movies. In other words, things are going to get a little .. crazy .. in the finale&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You would notice that the scopes there have changed over time. In a sense - our scope has evolved, and somewhat narrowed over time simply cause we've found its not worked that well. We even were the source of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/11/23/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;network wide rule on product recs&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5372/how-do-i-ask-a-question-that-may-require-recommending-software&quot;&gt;we kind of had to figure out where that fit in our site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Its slightly unintiutive, and we worked around our own rules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And its really difficult to sum stuff like that. Even Serverfault, which had a much better defined scope to start with had a few issues with what's on topic and what's not, and its own drama over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ewoks are just as likely to make friends, as to roast and eat you, or topple your empire.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More seriously - getting new users to a grasp on the SE way of doing things, that's evolved over a decade is a problem that SE has been trying to tackle for ages. They tried a wizard (which apparently didn't have the expected results).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anything &lt;em&gt;dosen't&lt;/em&gt; go - but there's often disagreements on the lines. Quite a lot of the time, it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; hard for newbies to get, and I guess we can do better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes though, stuff is so vague that salvaging it is difficult, and some folks speculatively post answers that might end up being unhelpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At one point, we called 'closure' 'on hold' instead. And closed (or even deleted) posts can be salvaged and reopened/undeleted. There's at least a little onus on the original poster to make at least a minimal effort though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Running a Q&amp;amp;A site is hard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On burnout, turnover and the critical mass of meta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've not written one of these in ages. Admittedly, I'm not modding Super User as actively as I used to (work, and main meta seems to have more of my attention), but I noticed that my pattern of modding, or being a power user changed. I'm on the site less than I was - and when I am, its mostly flags that take my attention. The other mods leave not many flags for me to do, but if mods are doing most of the closures, we're also suffering from a lack of engagement. I used to hand write comments for every post I closed (and to this day, lost meta folks aside, I try to!), but its a lot of work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suspect a lot of the grumpiness is seeing a lot of the same thing, folks having a bit of an attitude with folks trying to help, and no small amount of burnout.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't blame the community, its been a pretty horribad 2019 and 2020 but folks are a lot less active-feeling than they did when I was a newbie. I guess we can do better but that needs a bit of a rejuvination, and that's going to take a lot of work, and spoons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm going to steal a snippet of a nightwish song I am fond of&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Better to light a candle than to curse the dark&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can do better. If you see something that should be open, make a case for it. Post a comment letting the user what's wrong if you can. Meta if it needs more attention. If you can let us know.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll try to spend a little bit more time, and try to help out where I can. I can't be everywhere, so to a big extent, the fix to this is more folks stepping up and letting us know what we're missing, and sheperding our newbies if the mods get too nippy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10165" LastEditorUserId="10165" LastEditDate="2021-01-06T12:55:28.547" LastActivityDate="2021-01-06T12:55:28.547" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Still, it certainly shouldn't be encouraged or justified.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have a high rep here, that indicates you are highly knowledgeable in a few technical aspects.

I could give examples of answers that have hundreds of votes, and the only reason they have those votes is being prompted on Twitter. I have a few of those answers. I am honestly dumbfounded when one of those answers are promoted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, some of those promoted answers are helpful, but even I can admit some of my own promoted answers don't deserve hundreds of upvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;People do come here at the ends of their ropes, meaning they don't know where else to go. Often in that many words - and yet we nuke their questions with the &amp;quot;clarity&amp;quot; reason because they &amp;quot;didn't show research effort&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;They also come here and ask questions after doing absolutely no research on the subject.  Which of course is fine but they have to be willing to provide the necessary information.  &lt;strong&gt;Closing their question sometimes is a necessary step in the process of helping those users.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With all due respect, what research effort would you have them expend? Their post already indicated they don't know where to go!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The necessary information required to answer the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;s it more useful, to SU, to them, and to the people who may encounter the question in the future, to comment asking for clarity and edit once that clarity is received, or immediately write off the question as unsalvageable and silently VTC it? If that clarity never comes, meaning the question is non-useful, by all means, you should VTC it, with the full knowledge that ROV is a black hole (more often than not, no amount of editing will get a question out of there, especially for the more subjective close reasons. Anything that's marked [closed] can be considered the site's trash bin.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, the close reasons while they are not perfect, actually do indicate what is required to answer the question.  It is stated in a way that is far superior to what I personally could say in a comment.  &lt;strong&gt;I choose NOT to submit commentary in these cases. I am also not going to allow somebody to incorrectly state that I am being rude by NOT submitting a comment.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Closing a question is a hostile action regardless of intention in that, it will be received as such. Every criticism of the Stack* network you find online include the willingness of reviewers to take adverse action on otherwise reasonable, useful questions at the drop of a hat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is absolutely false&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only avenue left to her is the answer box, which she uses because she doesn't know better yet. It looks like any other input box and fulfills the immediate goal of letting her communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am not going to quote the entire impractical outline of your example but the user wasn't forced to submit their commentary as an answer.&lt;/strong&gt;  You also won't be able to change my mind that that example is sort of ridiculous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;JaneNewbie closes her tab, leaving SU, likely never to return, soured on the whole experience. If asked, she will refer to SU as an unfriendly bunch of elitists who got unreasonably mad at her when all he wanted to do was thank a guy who helped her out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the user is going to leave the community after having a single contribution deleted?  &lt;strong&gt;We have to keep in mind their single contribution was a comment that would have been automatically deleted after a single flag.&lt;/strong&gt; If this user is leaving after having a single contribution deleted then we need a better system to avoid commentary being submitted as an answer.  &lt;strong&gt;Until that better system is released the only tools we have are to delete commentary submitted as an answer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The upvote requirement could be lowered to 1.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The upvote requirement was set to the current threshold after it was determined it was just low enough to stop unwanted behavior and voter fraud.  The requirement for an upvote is meet after having a single contribution upvoted. &lt;strong&gt;This requirement cannot be changed by the community users nor should the fact this requirement exists be held against the community.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The person who reviews Jane's bogus answer still needs to flag it for not being an answer, but they could add a gentle comment (one comment, these shouldn't be piled on by five different people) about why they're doing what they're doing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not required to submit a comment when I perform reviews.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You'll note that at no point here did I talk about Jane's behavior. First off, Jane is a newbie. She's ranting on meta because she feels attacked and doesn't know any better yet. You, on the other hand, replying to her post, probably do know better. What's your excuse?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We actually should be talking about their behavior.  There actually should be more protections in place to prevent contributions that will be deleted from being submitted in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you've been in tech long enough to back up your rep, you already know the golden rule: Users don't read docs. Users will take context clues, they can be guided, but most of them will never touch the tour. The tour is tl;dr. JaneNewbie will do stupid things out of ignorance, and expecting her (or most users) to understand how the site works in whole before using it is simply not realistic. People with experience in technology and psychology that outmatches that of every person that will read this post combined have been trying to do so for years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I read the help tour when I was a new user.  What is their excuse?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm certainly not asking you to flag crap less or vote in ways contrary to the guidelines. The guidelines are reliable, and their precise application has led to this and the rest of the SE network being a fantastic resource.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You actually have asked us to do that.&lt;/strong&gt;  You have only spoken about the review actions that are incorrectly and unfairly being perceived as negative events.  Closing a question is not a negative event.  Removing an answer that is submitted as commentary is a positive event, but in that process, a comment is automatically submitted explaining the reason it was removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're not a paid employee of SE, and you've got tons of rep... why are you here? Why did you spend hours researching and crafting answers to questions, reviewing and editing questions and answers and so forth?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am starting to wonder that myself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of these things I just got done complaining about? They represent failures to help people. Is it genuinely going to take you that much more time to write a thoughtful comment when someone screws up rather than smacking that &amp;quot;close&amp;quot; button and moving on to the next review out of your 20? Is it really worth forever turning off someone because you were afraid you were going to spend effort being nice to someone who might not reciprocate?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only failure you describe is the example user who despite everything still submitted their commentary as an answer. It sounds like Stack Exchange needs to do more work to prevent that from happening.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Remember that a VTC effectively means &amp;quot;I think this is such crap that it should go away.&amp;quot; It is &amp;quot;delete&amp;quot; with extra steps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is absolutely false.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Explain your work when you VTC things. Any first VTC without a comment is probably unhelpful in most cases. You are going to tick people off, necessarily. Nobody likes being told they screwed up... but you can and should soften the blow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additional commentary explaining a VTC is unnecessary and likely to be flagged.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Vote up more, in general. Votes on main SU are for usefulness, not exceptionality. There are a lot of good questions and answers out there that don't deserve the 0 scores they have, and comparatively few crap questions and answers that have an unjustifiably high score.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In reality, upvotes and downvotes are equal, and users should upvote helpful contributions and downvote unhelpful contributions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Consider whether an auto-message is the most appropriate way to inform someone they screwed up. Auto-messages are factual, but they are officious, not friendly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is absolutely false.  It is not possible for commentary automatically submitted to be unfriendly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Questions being closed without so much as a perfunctory or even Pro-forma &amp;quot;here's what you did wrong&amp;quot; commentary&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commentary explaining a close vote is not required.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Widespread misuse of two specific closure votes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;Needs details or clarity.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;Needs focus&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The individual Stack Exchange website cannot customize these close-reasons.  &lt;strong&gt;These close reasons are the closest thing to the actual close reason when closing vague unanswerable questions.&lt;/strong&gt;  Closing a question is not a negative event.  It's an opportunity for the author to increase the quality of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;General stinginess with upvoting on main (even when the questions &amp;quot;show research effort, are useful, and clear,&amp;quot; as the tooltip on the button says.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't personally find unclear or broad questions to be helpful.  I routinely reverse my downvotes once the question has been clarified so it can be answered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;VTCs for things where downvotes are more appropriate&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You literally just got done indicating that there is a widespread issue of misusing two specific, close votes.  So I guess that means that we are not supposed to issue close votes against it nor issue a downvote, so it just sits in an unanswerable form.  &lt;strong&gt;Sooner or later, somebody will come around and say not answering those questions is rude behavior.&lt;/strong&gt;  I personally won't be changing the way we issue close votes until there is a better system released.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was initially going to post this to answer why certain&#xA;commenters take a rude tone with new users? But I think there's a&#xA;bigger problem here that requires more discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's ignore the fact that the answer to that question was&#xA;out-of-scope for a moment. That's the root cause of what was&#xA;ultimately a justified action, but it's not the answer to what OP&#xA;said, and after spending a small but significant amount of time&#xA;reviewing, I'm noticing some patterns over and over again that jibe&#xA;with their complaint.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let's not actually ignore the fact that the author was attempting to answer a question that was obviously out of scope.&lt;/strong&gt;  The question was temporarily locked to prevent additional commentary due to their own actions.  Voting to close a question that is obviously not within the scope of SuperUser without any commentary is not actually considered rude behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The author in question believes that a moderator should be banned for performing moderator actions.  &lt;strong&gt;This is the exact type of mindset that typically isn't reasonable, and their negativity should be ignored.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;, E.g., look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users?tab=Voters&amp;amp;filter=all&quot;&gt;https://superuser.com/users?tab=Voters&amp;amp;filter=all&lt;/a&gt;, and you'll see that the top 2 most active voters have many more downvotes than upvotes (the #1 most active voter has almost 10 times more downvotes than upvotes!). Doesn't sound that positive to me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am equally encouraged to issue both downvotes and upvotes.  I primarily downvote answers submitted as a comment.  I downvote unclear questions.  I downvote answers that I feel are technically incorrect.  &lt;strong&gt;I also upvote helpful correct high-quality contributions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While the raw statistics indicate that I downvote more than I upvote, it doesn’t indicate that the community is deleting 95% of contributions I downvote.  It also doesn’t consider the votes I end up reversing, but not necessarily, replacing with an upvote.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am not actually required to explain any vote I issue. It doesn’t matter what my upvote to downvote ratio actually is because it doesn’t consider the contributions that I downvote end up being deleted. It’s a ratio of raw votes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you disagree with any downvote I have issued, you are free to upvote it, which is worth 5x more than an upvote. &lt;strong&gt;I am not going to be bullied to not vote on contributions I feel are unhelpful.

They don't have their SE qualified question yet because they haven't made it that far before getting stuck. I often find myself telling new users that their question is better suited for a forum where discussion occurs. SE's Q&amp;amp;A format is not a forum and if there is a long discussion in the comments the site tells you to stop doing that and take it to chat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Maybe the solution is to bring new users to a new user chat first. This new user chat can bring them to topic specific chats. The topic specific chats can tell the user &amp;quot;Ok, now you have a question. Go post that on this board:&amp;quot;. We would need to be careful not to provide all the answers in chat because then it's not documented in the Q&amp;amp;A system. This would be a natural flow to getting help and learning how things go. There can be sticky or canned responses given by chat moderators. The mods of new user chat could even have the power to award points in chat that would give the new user power to upvote or comment. This would be a simple way to prove that the new user isn't a spammer or a robot, and validate that they are here to join the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only downside I see to my solution is that it's a lot of work.

Sadly, I &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt;, and it is just my personal opinion, this seems to be in the best interest of stack exchange to inflate artificially user numbers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would never would wish being in a moderator's shoes when the shift of burden of dealing with those users is imposed on other users, and asking for rules defining the regular users have to make several thousands more a bigger effort the original askers are actively avoiding to make and flouting rules creating drive-by users by the thousands, seems too unfair and twisted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="523005" LastActivityDate="2021-01-13T11:19:44.003" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

First ask the user to clarify&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, wait for them to maybe respond, &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; resort to moderator tools.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Unless you're that moderator who doesn't understand irony and says &amp;quot;please add information to your post, we are not mind-readers&amp;quot; but doesn't bother to specify &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also – every mod should consider that some questions can be unclear to &lt;em&gt;them&lt;/em&gt;, specifically, but completely fine to people who have already had experience with the topic or technology that is being asked about. This doesn't mean the questions shouldn't be clarified, but it also doesn't mean those questions are un-answerable as-is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are also other kinds. I've seen a few questions insta-closed as shopping recommendations, which would make sense except they're literally asking what the help page &lt;em&gt;told&lt;/em&gt; them to ask to avoid the question being closed as a shopping recommendation. Why? What's the point of having those suggestions in the rules if users get punished for following them?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for comments... comments are just bad. I see bad answers being posted as comments (where they cannot be downvoted), I see useful comments get wiped without a trace (&amp;quot;you should have edited it into the answer&amp;quot; well sure but they cannot be recovered after the fact), but most importantly I've seen incredibly rude comments stay put even after they have been flagged. I swear some of them were almost word-for-word taken from the &amp;quot;Which comments to flag as rude/abusive&amp;quot; instructions, but they have the mod diamond so of course they're immune to flags.

For my purposes USB 3.1 transfer speeds of 10Mbps are fine. Anything else is wasted. And the $150-ish cost is definitely wasted for my needs. I just want a simple USB C hub for less than $20.

My current issue is that the ban is now reinstated after my new question, as stated in the Help Center section about question bans I was ready for this, but shouldn't a reputation increase and an upvote or more be enough to lift me out of the block? Upvotes indicate a &amp;quot;useful and clear question&amp;quot;, as the tooltip says.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question ban was never actually lifted.  Once a user reaches the threshold for a question ban they are able to ask a single question every 6 months.  The entire reason you are able to ask a question once every 6 months, is to eventually, no longer be question ban and be able to ask questions normally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if your last question was in November 2020 and your newest question was in May 2021 that would have been your one question.  If you are now unable to ask a new question it means the ban was never lifted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Since little has been shared about the system itself, there is no way, to know how close you are to NOT being question banned.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What about people who are new to Super User and are not that tech-savvy? Will they get banned because they can't clarify when requested due to poor tech knowledge? Turning to Tom's Hardware Forums, for example, is really not an option, since I can't get any really useful answer(s) there, in contrast to Super User. From my experience, at least.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Users (all users) are expected to perform an adequate amount of research to ask a question that is clear and concise enough so it can be answered.  This means using the proper names for technology (I.e PCI-E, etc.) so the community is able to comprehend the question enough to answer it.  Questions that are not detailed enough or are unclear are unlikely to get a meaningful answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No one is perfect at anything, and I think that Stack Exchange fails to recognize this, especially with their &amp;quot;asking questions is a privilege, not a right&amp;quot; statement.

Isn't the network there to solve problems?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure, but those questions must be answerable, sadly unanswerable questions are not helpful to the community.  Questions bans only happen after a continued pattern of asking bad questions, the number isn’t static, and completely user specific.  However, it’s absolutely never due to a single bad question, a single bad question simply could not make a user reach the threshold for a question ban.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What normally happens is there are numerous downvoted questions, that might have been deleted by the community or the user themselves, and numerous questions that receive zero votes in either direction.  A user with 4 questions like yourself, one that has 2 upvotes, wouldn’t ever be question banned (if those were their only questions).  Even if you include a couple deleted questions with 0 votes you still wouldn’t be question banned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You have at least one question with 0 votes, that received an answer, yet you deemed it unsalvageable and simply deleted it last month.  &lt;strong&gt;Deleting a question after an answer has been submitted isn’t a positive event.&lt;/strong&gt; Deleting a question should be reserved for a question that cannot be salvaged by any edit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for 3 year old questions, about Windows Vista and Windows XP devices, trying to diagnose those questions today will likely be impossible.  Of the questions I saw that had automatically been deleted, were undiagnosed hardware failures, attempting to formulate an answer today would be impossible. It doesn’t appear you are very far into the question ban threshold, but having 7 questions out of 11 questions deleted, isn’t a positive event especially if they received downvotes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Contributing to the community positively, accepting answers that have been submitted, provided they answered your question are all events that eventually will result in you no longer being question banned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="83283" LastEditDate="2021-05-28T22:37:40.887" LastActivityDate="2021-05-28T22:37:40.887" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Or you can honestly just leave a comment, downvote the answer and walk away… Or just do nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But to cross a content-owner line and force an edit like the one you did? Nope.

Also, I never mentioned any slowdowns, just random audio cutoffs and freezes that are irritating, but can be mostly mitigated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Also, there seem to be more Windows 7 related questions than Windows 10 ones on Super User (46.9k &amp;gt; 33.8k), and the tag does not state that the OS is EOL, unlike with older Ubuntu versions in Ask Ubuntu.

Just like with Fedora or Arch over Ubuntu/Mint, FL Studio over Ableton Live, PC over Mac, etc.,  you get the point. It may not be the best solution, but it's &lt;strong&gt;his PC&lt;/strong&gt;, not mine or anyone else's.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Addition:&lt;/strong&gt; If it was another system with Windows 7 installed just for experimentation purposes, I'm sure that my question would have been upvoted (or left with 0 votes) and I would get some more helpful answers/comments.

Don't like how your computer works? Wipe it and install an OS that does what you want inside an hour. The instructions necessary for one computer will almost certainly work on any other computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tablets are difficult to repurpose due to their locked down nature. They have processors but they are far from being general purpose computing devices. You cannot simply turn it in to an elite gaming PC or a headless Linux box without throwing it away and buying something more appropriate.  If you want to repurpose the hardware then generally you need to have first spent a week researching &lt;em&gt;that one device&lt;/em&gt; to find out what others have picked apart from it. The instructions used to modify one device will almost certainly turn another into a brick without that research.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you consider a tablet to be a &amp;quot;computer&amp;quot; then we should probably also consider a $2 pocket calculator a computer as well, after all it does compute the answer to &amp;quot;2+2&amp;quot;.

Even if I plug this thing in 24/7 the OS clearly shifts from charging the battery to being purely using A/C power based on various conditions such as CPU load, temperature and even heuristics of usage; meaning charging is delayed until the OS knows you are using your machine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For a modern MacBook like this there is utterly no problem keeping this thing plugged in 24/7; the battery won’t be touched if it is not needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This small example is exactly why one cannot generically answer your question even if it was on-topic.

And yes, sometimes this is in terms of money, rather than diversity of topics or other touchy-feely things.The fact that we're picked for sponsorship does reflect that AWS feels that even though they're not topical for us, that its a good way to reach out to the tech community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said - AWS remains off topic for us :), and its a slightly unusual fit 'organically' but I guess someone felt we could make it work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the benefits, at the most basic level - SE gets paid. SE sees that line in the balance sheet that says 'we got $$$ via the Super User Sponsorship'. Even the most cynical exec would see value in that. Some of this money will be going back into the community, either as development expenses or as hires for folks working in and for the community. If nothing else - even with our new corporate overlords, revenue sources such as this directly tied to sites starves off the risk or restructuring, and there's a direct financial hit to sites being unhappy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for resources - the network doesn't run for free. One of the &lt;em&gt;major&lt;/em&gt; pain points we've had is the company not meeting its financial goals on specific products, and figuring that they can cut back, which resulted in many teams being short handed. Its all about the Benjamins, and some of the money that is obtained for/via sponsorships goes back to development (including pub-plat hires), Community (and we're finally rightsizing our CM teams - which means more hires... finally!). Its a bit harsh, but we've all seen what happens when management disregards public platform - figuring other things would be more profitable to focus on, and its &lt;em&gt;ugly&lt;/em&gt;.

It was asking about a &lt;strong&gt;specifical problem&lt;/strong&gt; with a &lt;strong&gt;different&lt;/strong&gt; technique for running Linux graphical apps on &lt;em&gt;Windows 10&lt;/em&gt; with WSL2.  Note that &lt;em&gt;WSL2&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;WSLg&lt;/em&gt; are two different features.  There are &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1580610/1210833&quot;&gt;multiple ways of running graphical apps on WSL2&lt;/a&gt; (one of these provided a year ago before Windows 11 was even announced by the same person who answered this one) that &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt; require updating to Windows 11/WSLg, and the OP was asking about one of those.  Should a question be closed just because &lt;strong&gt;one&lt;/strong&gt; answer is to upgrade to Windows 11?  There are &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt;, more helpful answers possible, especially when many people &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; upgrade to Windows 11 (either due to hardware or workplace limitations).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To take this to the extreme, I could ask &amp;quot;How to center the Task Bar on Windows 10?&amp;quot;.  If someone answered, &amp;quot;Upgrade to Windows 11&amp;quot;, by this logic, the question would be a duplicate of both of these (obviously, completely unrelated) questions.  There &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be a way, or a third-party application, that would allow centering the task bar.  There may even not be a way &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt;, in which case the only &lt;em&gt;current&lt;/em&gt; answer would be to upgrade to Windows 11.  But that's not to say that another method might not become available in the future.  One of the great things about Stack is that we can add new answers years later when things change (Side note: This is one of the reasons I prefer asking and answering here instead of Reddit, where posts are locked after 6 months).  Just because one answer, today is &amp;quot;Upgrade to Windows 11&amp;quot;, doesn't automatically make every question where that is a possible answer a duplicate of the others.  Does it?  Should it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Specifically, regarding this question -- Just because &lt;em&gt;one answer&lt;/em&gt; is the same as to another question doesn't mean that there aren't additional answers (that wouldn't apply to the duplicate) that wouldn't be perfectly valid (and more useful) here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So is it valid, or even logical, to close a question as a duplicate based solely on a single (potentially even wrong) answer?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additional notes/research:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This poster came here because I (a) voted to close the same question as off-topic on Stack Overflow, and (b) I asked them to repost it here instead, where it would be on-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My meta question here seems related to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/12654/1210833&quot;&gt;Should a question be closed as a duplicate of a different question because the other has an answer to the &amp;quot;duplicate&amp;quot;?&lt;/a&gt;, but in that case the question was (apparently) really a duplicate.  However, the original has been removed, so I can't refer to it for reference.  Per the comments, it never ended up addressing how to handle this case for completely unrelated questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm also not saying that this &lt;em&gt;isn't&lt;/em&gt; a duplicate, but I don't think we know yet.  It's certainly not a duplicate of the question that was linked.  There have been a number of questions around running graphical apps on WSL on Windows 10, but this one stands out as possibly unique for two reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This question is specifically around a problem with XLauncher.  I could find no other WSL questions regarding XLauncher as the X server.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Most questions that we see around this are in regards to the general &amp;quot;how to&amp;quot;, and are easy to spot because the user typically sees an error with the &lt;code&gt;DISPLAY&lt;/code&gt; variable.  This one does not error out -- It just fails silently.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be related to Windows Firewall, which (if so) could make it a duplicate of &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1476086/1210833&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, but that one also failed with an error (instead of silently).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I would prefer going through the &amp;quot;more lenient&amp;quot; process of proposing/flag duplicates first, rather than the gold-badge-hammer based on (what  I hope we can agree is) a bad &amp;quot;duplicate&amp;quot; reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastEditorUserId="1210833" LastEditDate="2021-11-27T14:46:46.067" LastActivityDate="2021-12-28T17:04:31.150" Title="Does having the same answer as another question automatically make a question a duplicate?"

I suspect there are existing questions, with existing answers, that already answer the question at hand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This isn’t to say that I don’t necessarily disagree that the question at hand isn’t a duplicate, of the particular question, I initially selected. I just disagree that the question should be reopened, thus allowing yet another answer, on how to run a graphical application, when that question most definitely has already been answered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am willing to see what will be submitted, of course, I suspect I will be extremely disappointed by seeing any solution that already has been provided by the existing answer. This meta-question most certainly was unnecessary, the user who submitted the answer to the question at hand, also has a gold badge in Windows 10 and could have reopened the question. They also disagreed with the closure of the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="83283" LastEditorUserId="83283" LastEditDate="2021-11-28T16:37:23.400" LastActivityDate="2021-11-28T16:37:23.400" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You were given the opportunity to edit your question to clarify it, but you chose not to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have quoted the original question below for the people who cannot see deleted questions and added some commentary on why I though it was unclear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The laptop needs to be able to switch on devices when an email is received with the required parameters - ie which device, how long it should be on etc - all of which are contained in the email. Any email system could be used - gmail, outlook etc as the system has not been set up yet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is a statement of specification. So we kind of know what you want to do. Any solution is going to depend on which email system you choose to use - and you haven't decided that yet. We cannot make that decision for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have thought about using a PLC and could easily code the solution but accessing emails appears to be an issue. SMS and electronic gate switches could be used but this involves SIM cards, contracts etc. The application generating the emails is in the USA and TWILIO could be used to to analyse the emails and generate SMS to the appropriate switch. That requires understanding TWILIO and some coding or cost to achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Writing down your ideas does not make them into a question. It's a bit more specific what you are trying to achieve, but there is still no question in there we can answer. You say you need to understand TWILIO. So you should go and learn it. Note that asking for learning material would be off-topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We cannot do anything about the cost so why do you mention it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have done some VBA and HTML in the past - there are plenty of laptops/PCs available but using Windows or Linux?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again what is your actual question?

However, many years later, I have found Super User to be a good resource for answers to many questions I have.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion to you might be to really think about your requirements and re-ask your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What online research (e.g. Google) have you done?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What experiments have you already attempted?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What were the results of your research or experiments?

Are the computers running the process intended to be run without a GUI?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are you actually trying to accomplish (you want to receive email A stating &amp;quot;start Process A&amp;quot; because you want Process A to ...???)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, the more details you fill in the better, but the specifics are ultimately up to you.

indicate the frequency of moderation actions. This also applies to flags, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁵ Includes close flags (but &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; close or reopen votes).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁶ This ignores numerous deletions that happen automatically in response to some other action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁷ This includes comments deleted by their own authors (which also account for some number of handled comment flags).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Further reading:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wanna see how these numbers have changed over time?

It may help the community reflect on how it can better serve its audience. I previously asked this question, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/1713386/does-a-9th-generation-x1-carbon-support-more-than-2-tb-of-storage-x1c9&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Does a 9th Generation X1 Carbon support more than 2 TB of storage (X1C9)?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This was closed by one of the moderators.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I read that something isn't &amp;quot;supported&amp;quot; in an official document, I feel it should be on topic here to question that. It can mean (a) Lenovo does not sell/test a drive above that capacity, or (b) that the hardware itself can not handle a drive above that capacity, (c) that you must void the warranty by flashing or hacking the device to exceed that limit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the case of (b) that happens &lt;strong&gt;ALL THE TIME&lt;/strong&gt; with hardware manufactures, simply because &amp;quot;support&amp;quot; means they have to accept warranty claims. For example, almost no laptops &amp;quot;support&amp;quot; being charged with any USB-3 adapters except the ones they ship with.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In the case of (c) that happens &lt;strong&gt;ALL THE TIME&lt;/strong&gt; with older Lenovos. For example, they implemented a hardware-whitelist on the PCI-Express slot (we have questions on that whitelist on this site).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As it applies to this question, I have some reason to speculate the reason may be that &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1714377/11116&quot;&gt;no 4TB single-sided drives exist&lt;/a&gt;. But to have someone tell me even that drive only handles single-sided NVME in an answer would have at least guided my purchasing decision by excluding the drive I purchased. Put another way, I was told by the mod,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Only Lenovo can answer [&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Does a 9th Generation X1 Carbon support more than 2 TB of storage (X1C9)?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is untrue given that,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The X1 Carbon 9th Generation only supports a single-sided NVME drive. (In fact, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/hchp44/sabrent_4tb_nvme_ssd_wont_fit_to_x1_carbon/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;after seeing the problem and searching it turns out there are others on the internet that have discovered this the hard way.&lt;/a&gt; Certainly a community of &amp;quot;power users&amp;quot; may know this.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There are no single-sided 4 TB NVME drives (going to assume that until someone tells me otherwise)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And both of those questions seem like they'd be on topic here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I just wish this community would do &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt; for me, but every time I ask question which I need help from the community on though in good form and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/on-topic&quot;&gt;on-topic&lt;/a&gt; it's closed prematurely by a moderator. &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/behavior&quot;&gt;This is not a welcoming experience.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whether you've come to ask questions, or to generously share what you know, remember that we’re all here to learn, together.

It would be ironic, however, to close it based on that.

That in &lt;em&gt;itself&lt;/em&gt; is two separate problems:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Closing questions in general is not &amp;quot;welcoming&amp;quot;, but we (the community) and the moderators need to do this in order to maintain order and curation on the site.  In general, I try to leave a comment on most posts that I vote-to-close explaining my reasons a bit above-and-beyond the basic close reason, along with anything the poster might can do to resolve the issue.  I &lt;em&gt;especially&lt;/em&gt; try to do this for newer users, in hopes that it will &amp;quot;soften the blow&amp;quot;.  It's not easy to craft a good question, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask&quot;&gt;How do I ask a good question?&lt;/a&gt; help for &lt;em&gt;Stack Overflow&lt;/em&gt; (but not Super User) acknowledges:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In spite of all your efforts, you may find your questions poorly-received. Don't despair! Learning to ask a good question is a worthy pursuit, and not one you'll master overnight.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Then we have the &amp;quot;improperly&amp;quot; part, which is to say, &amp;quot;Mistakes happen.&amp;quot;  Are we going to eliminate that through a Meta post?  Probably not.  The mods around here do a great job, but I feel certain most will admit they aren't infallible.  Mods, community close-votes, and gold-badgers, can all make mistakes.  That's one reason we have the Meta escalation process for individual questions, right?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That brings us to the second part of your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referencing a particular &amp;quot;Opinion&amp;quot; close on one of your questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the part I can actually agree with, at least in light of the facts presented in the question.  Personally, I've voted to reopen the question itself.  That said, it &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; use a bit of a rewrite.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Spending a few years working for a (custom) hardware manufacturer (of sorts), I can vouch for the fact that we had a limited list of &amp;quot;supported&amp;quot; drives that we would test.  It was unlikely that we would ever go back and test larger drives that became available after a certain span of time, unless a large customer specifically requested it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is it a &amp;quot;shopping recommendation&amp;quot; question?  IMHO, no.  It &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; be mistaken as one at first glance.  But the question didn't ask for any particular recommendation.  That, to me, would result in objective, fact-based answers.  While it &lt;em&gt;probably&lt;/em&gt; would &lt;em&gt;also&lt;/em&gt; result in suggestions on particular models that did or did not work, that's beside the point.  The question could be answered without any particular drive model.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And no, it probably can't and won't be answered by Lenovo, although:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or, is this all Lenovo has tested and certified?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; part is phrased, at least, could be seen as only answerable by Lenovo.  But it follows the &amp;quot;Is this true?&amp;quot;  In other words, (and it probably would have been better to write this explicitly), you are looking for either:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Someone who has successfully used a larger drive in that model.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Or someone who knows of a reason why it likely won't work (which you have subsequently found).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Both of those are objective, non-opinion, non-shopping questions, I believe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastActivityDate="2022-04-04T23:10:25.820" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Two of my most recent Meta posts, here on Super User and on Ask Ubuntu, have been regarding closures.  The one on &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.askubuntu.com&quot;&gt;meta.askubuntu.com&lt;/a&gt; was also specifically about an &amp;quot;opinion-based&amp;quot; close.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And while your &lt;em&gt;core&lt;/em&gt; question might be borderline (and I didn't vote to close it), I do fully &lt;em&gt;agree&lt;/em&gt; with its closure in this case.  There are just too many style issues with the post itself that put it &amp;quot;over the line.&amp;quot;  Please don't take that personally -- It's an interesting question, just (IMHO, and that of those who closed it) not for Super User.  We're just not set up for &amp;quot;discussions&amp;quot;, which is what I believe yours would lead to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problems I see:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there were &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; USB-powered speakers, then it would be clear that there was a technical limitation that could probably be addressed as an objective answer.  However, you point out that there &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; proof-points, but wonder why there aren't &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; of them.  That likely points to a design &lt;em&gt;difficulty&lt;/em&gt;, so that the answers would (I believe) really have to address, &amp;quot;Why is it so difficult to create a USB-powered speaker?&amp;quot;  That starts to fall more into opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You mention one particular brand, but worry that the audio quality might be poor.  That might be an aside, but it starts to get into a particular brand, and could certainly be considered a &amp;quot;shopping recommendation&amp;quot;, which would lead to a similar closure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You mention another brand and specifically wonder why that speaker line doesn't have an update with that feature.  Unless someone worked for that brand, it's impossible for the community to answer without pure speculation/opinion.  So that's a question that should really be taken directly to the manufacturer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;So not only are these &lt;em&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; (even if borderline) opinion questions in there, but that then adds the additional problem that it should be closed for &amp;quot;Lack of Focus&amp;quot;.  Questions should focus on one problem.  Otherwise, one answer could be about one brand, another answer about the second, and other answers about the design difficulties or electrical-engineering challenges.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That just leads to &amp;quot;discussion&amp;quot;, rather than clear-cut, objective answers.  I do sometimes wish that there was a discussion-style board that had the same features and high-quality community and answers that SE sites do.  But that doesn't mean that we can turn Super User into that discussion board.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Could the question be edited to make it worth reopening?  Perhaps, but I really don't think so -- The first problem mentioned above alone makes it really challenging to elicit objective answers.  Perhaps if it were something like, &amp;quot;What's the maximum theoretical wattage for a USB3-powered speaker?&amp;quot;  That could then elicit the answers you said you hoped for here in your Meta question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that would &lt;em&gt;probably&lt;/em&gt; be a better fit for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://electronics.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;EE Stack&lt;/a&gt; (but I'm not an expert or community member there, so I don't know for sure).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do think it's telling that there are no downvotes on your question currently.  That, to me, indicates that the community doesn't think it's a &lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; question or an unhelpful one.  Just that the votes-to-close mean that it doesn't quite fit here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastEditorUserId="1210833" LastEditDate="2022-06-08T16:47:40.860" LastActivityDate="2022-06-08T16:47:40.860" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

href=&quot;https://api.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange API&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, obtain the API method and arguments you need from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://api.stackexchange.com/docs&quot;&gt;corresponding doc page&lt;/a&gt;.  In this case, I needed a &amp;quot;user's questions&amp;quot;, which is &lt;a href=&quot;https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/answers-on-users&quot;&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;.  The API site includes the ability for you to build the method with your arguments.  I needed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Albin's (Super User ID: 201818) answers&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Change the site, of course, to Super User&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Edit the &amp;quot;Filter&amp;quot; to add in tags, title, and link&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And the resulting URI/method it gives me is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/2.3/users/201818/answers?order=desc&amp;amp;sort=activity&amp;amp;site=superuser&amp;amp;filter=!6VvPDzQHaquV_&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With that, in Nushell:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;def getStackAPIPageLoop [ baseUri:any page?:any --help (-h) ] {&#xA;    let page = if ( $page == null ) {1} else {$page}&#xA;    let pageUri = ((echo $baseUri &amp;quot;&amp;amp;page=&amp;quot; $page) | str collect)&#xA;    let re = (http $pageUri | from json )&#xA;    print $re&#xA;    &#xA;    if ($re.has_more) {&#xA;        $re.items | append (getStackAPIPageLoop $baseUri ($page + 1))&#xA;    } else {&#xA;        $re.items&#xA;    }&#xA;}&#xA;&#xA;let baseUri = &amp;quot;https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/users/201818/answers?order=desc&amp;amp;sort=activity&amp;amp;site=superuser&amp;amp;filter=!6VvPDzQHaquV_&amp;quot;&#xA;&#xA;# If you have a API key, add it, as you'll get a higher quota&#xA;&#xA;let answers = getStackAPIPageLoop $baseUri&#xA;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, the &lt;code&gt;$answers&lt;/code&gt; variable contains a list of all of the user's questions and the requested metadata that we can parse as desired.

Both code blocks are defined by having their lines start with 4 spaces. Neither have syntax highlighting hints. In the question, the syntax highlighting is a bit better because the comments are coloured correctly even though the PowerShell cmdlets are not coloured. In the answer, the syntax highlighting colours the cmdlets but does not recognise the comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I expected the two blocks to be formatted with the same style, and expected them to both format to PowerShell since the question is tagged with PowerShell.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I saw an old question from 2020 but it seems the highlighting has changed since then. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/14160/powershell-and-batch-syntax-highlighting-not-working-logically&quot;&gt;Powershell and Batch syntax highlighting not working logically&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've tried changing the block to use code fences with &lt;code&gt; ```powershell&lt;/code&gt; and I've also tried &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;!-- language: powershell --&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;!-- language: lang-powershell --&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; but the comments are still incorrectly coloured in the answer.

Your question, to me, seems completely fair.  The purpose of restricting questions about &amp;quot;product recommendations&amp;quot; is (as the close reason states) to avoid subjective &amp;quot;opinion-based&amp;quot; answers.  Those types of questions end up end &amp;quot;discussions&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;multiple answers where ever answer is equally valid.&amp;quot;  I absolutely agree that Stack Exchange sites are not well suited for &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; type of question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, yours seems to fit more into the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/dont-ask&quot;&gt;allowed subjective questions&lt;/a&gt; category:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some subjective questions are allowed, but “subjective” does not mean “anything goes”. All subjective questions are expected to be constructive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question, albeit about a &amp;quot;software recommendation&amp;quot;, certainly is set up to invite practical, constructive answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All that said, I doubt we're going to get it reopened based on &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I'd say this is a question better suited for Stack Overflow, since it is about:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;software tools commonly used by programmers; and is&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still, it could be seen as a request for an off-site resource and closed &lt;em&gt;there&lt;/em&gt; for that reason, so here's how I'd reword it &lt;em&gt;just to be sure&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h5&gt;How to install ActiveState Perl 5.34 on Windows without an Internet connection?&lt;/h5&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.activestate.com/products/perl/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ActiveState&lt;/a&gt; used to have Perl Installers that could be downloaded and then installed on Windows.

Is this possible?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So here's the thing -- If there's another alternative installer that might have that capability (and I think we both doubt there is), someone's probably going to mention it, even though you don't &lt;em&gt;specifically&lt;/em&gt; ask for a recommendation on that topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While you could edit that here to make it (IMHO) on-topic, I'd recommend reposting on Stack Overflow since:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It's arguably &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; on-topic there as a question &amp;quot;unique to programming&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It will be faster than getting 5 reopen votes here on Super User after fixing the question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastActivityDate="2022-06-19T02:36:59.827" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In reading your question, I personally would have left it open on the basis that you were asking about &lt;em&gt;functionality&lt;/em&gt; rather than &lt;em&gt;development&lt;/em&gt;, but we do (IMHO) have some (too often overly) aggressive closures here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do think this is &lt;em&gt;likely&lt;/em&gt; on-topic on Stack Overflow.

It's not a case of a user giving us nothing to work with and hoping that our crystal ball has the answer (anyone who's been here for a while knows this type of questions).

OP expects that this problem is solvable with 3rd party software, because &lt;a href=&quot;https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;that's how they solved it on a Mac&lt;/a&gt;, but I'm pretty sure they would be completely happy with a built-in OS feature if one existed. It's just a matter of unfortunate wording. IMO Person B glazed over that sentence because it just doesn't invalidate this otherwise fine question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A good answer to this question would probably include a software recommendation &lt;em&gt;and a guide on achieving what was asked&lt;/em&gt;, which strongly suggests that it's not so much about software as about a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's go through the software-rec checklist from case 1:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Is this question seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations? As I've explained it's actually seeking a solution to the presented problem, and implying that some product will be a part of that solution.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Otherwise off-topic, opinion-based or gets outdated quickly? No: &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/on-topic&quot;&gt;within scope&lt;/a&gt;, not opinion-based, won't get outdated more quickly than any other software-based answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The problem is clear? Reasonably clear I would say.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Shows effort (&amp;quot;share your research&amp;quot;)? Well, OP could do better here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/5372/194694&quot;&gt;The link at the end&lt;/a&gt;: Well, give it a read. In a nutshell, questions should be problem-based, not software-based. Questions that ask for software that solves problems is allowed - there's even a header that reads &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;How to ask questions that may require a software solution&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not saying this question is perfect - I'm saying that commenters wanted to close it due to a twitch reflex, rather than for a valid reason. In some cases there won't be a valid reason, but the reflex will work the same. And if it's a mod♦, that's it - the question gets closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Why are we here?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I believe the point of answering questions and participating in this community is to &lt;strong&gt;provide help and serve other people&lt;/strong&gt;. With that in mind:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 3.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Wouldn't it be better to make that minor edit, rather than vote to close? If you don't have these couple extra seconds or are using a mobile device and it's inconvenient to edit, maybe it would be more helpful to resist the urge to VtC and let someone else make the edit? Would anything bad happen if no one edited it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also: I think this question has potential to be helpful for other visitors. It would be great to make SU number 1 on Google for this problem. It doesn't seem like OP did any research, but other than that the question checks all the boxes. IMO it's good enough to keep it open even if it doesn't fit the guidelines perfectly. The point of guidelines is to instruct users how to ask good questions, but useful questions that don't follow the guidelines are still useful. Unless they are off-topic in the strict sense (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/on-topic&quot;&gt;first 3 bullet points&lt;/a&gt;), we may want to keep them open.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 2.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Closing unclear questions is okay. But ultimately we want to help people who ask them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure, if OP can't write a coherent sentence, it's a waste of time to decipher and answer their question. Even if someone has a similar problem, it's unlikely they will be able to realize it's the same problem (or even find the question).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But if the question looks like some effort was put into it, be helpful and explain what information you need. Unlike you, OP isn't an expert - they may not know relevant stuff from noise nor understand how complex the issue is and what information is needed. Closing the question doesn't address this. It just leaves OP to themselves and prevents SU from gaining a useful question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMO even &amp;quot;crystal ball&amp;quot; questions shouldn't be closed without a comment. Some people think computers are magic and we can magically devise a solution for their issue. They understand nothing and don't know what we need from them. It's us that have to tell them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 1.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finding duplicates can be hard. Many times I've been 100% sure a question was answered before, but I just couldn't find it. But if I can't find it, neither can OP and other people who have a similar question, so instead of closing with questionable reasons maybe it's better to leave it open, let someone write a good answer and hope that this one won't get lost?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a large Polish electrical engineering forum that's infamous for getting first positions on Google with unanswered threads that are closed by mods because &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;this topic was discussed a thousand times, search for it&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;. Well, here I am searching for it and getting their unhelpful posts. SU is technically superior because (I think) it's guiding Google away from closed questions and presenting duplicates as redirects, boosting their targets. Thus a duplicate closed with a bad reason is a wasted opportunity to promote a good question in search engines.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And this - without leaving any explanatory comment - is just unhelpful:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/su9Li.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/su9Li.png&quot; alt=&quot;&amp;quot;Incorrectly closed as asking for learning material - declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it&amp;quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Am I missing something and it's actually a something-rec question? Is the moderator♦ disagreeing with my stance on using correct close reasons? Should I keep flagging stuff like this? I don't know. I can complain on meta (trying not to sound too petty), ignore it and keep making the same mistakes, or get frustrated and leave. (Please note that the comment with a potential duplicate was posted after the flag was rejected.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Closing questions is easy, reopening them is not. I'm pretty sure closed questions get much less visitors than open ones, but the number of votes required to reopen is the same. Once a question is closed, it's often doomed to stay closed. People sometimes come here with sincere intention to learn something, but leave with a feeling of being unjustly judged. The &amp;quot;on hold closing&amp;quot; experiment may not have worked, but there was a reason for it, and no technical solution can make up for behaviors that feel hostile. I believe unwelcoming SU is not the kind of SU we're trying to build.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Maybe before clicking the &lt;kbd&gt;Close&lt;/kbd&gt; button we should think twice what are we trying to achieve long-term and if it's actually serving our goals.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm sorry if I'm using a strong language or if any of you felt offended in any way. It was not my intention. I'm certainly not completely objective in my perception of the issue and I'm open to discussion… or at least I think so. The fact that I'm not a native speaker and may not get the tone of my language the same way as you do doesn't help either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="194694" LastActivityDate="2023-02-23T18:12:30.400" Title="We have bad question closing habits" Tags="|discussion|closed-questions|reopen-request|vote-to-close|" AnswerCount="4" CommentCount="11" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You're looking for an existence proof that would make it a &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;.  Alternatively, such a question could theoretically be answered by a technical reason why such a thing wouldn't or doesn't exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But by asking a question which you hope will be affirmatively answered by a product example, it seems to me to absolutely be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;asking for a product, service or learning material recommendation&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that &amp;quot;recommendations&amp;quot; aren't necessarily always (subjective) &amp;quot;endorsements&amp;quot;.  They can also simply be objective statements that the product meets the requirement you've placed in your question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But the real question is why this is a problem in your particular post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The issue, as I see it, is that any &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; answer that provides an example would be just as valid as any other example.  It may be an objective, &amp;quot;Yes, it meets that requirement.&amp;quot;  But it's still open-ended with no one answer being &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot;, or even &amp;quot;most correct&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's biggest reason why shopping recommendations are off-topic here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some other Stack Exchange sites share similar restrictions.  Stack Overflow, for instance, prohibits requests for libraries that will meet a particular need.  Certainly, the question is objective, but there may be a (very) large number of examples that correctly answer the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, I've noticed that Ask Ubuntu has no such restriction, and sometimes answer will run into the double-digits because of that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Super User community has clearly opted for prohibiting these types of questions, though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastEditorUserId="1210833" LastEditDate="2022-08-12T00:46:22.997" LastActivityDate="2022-08-12T00:46:22.997" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Simply starting WSL with the default distribution will demonstrate the problem -- The MOTD shows outdated system information.  I was able to reproduce this in less than 10 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Understanding the question (let alone answering) &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt;, however, require that the reader have the appropriate subject-matter expertise in the topic being discussed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Understanding what WSL is.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Knowing that the default distribution on WSL is Ubuntu.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Being up-to-date on WSL and Ubuntu enough to know that Ubuntu was just recently (in the last week) updated to 22.04 as the default distribution (this typically happens around 4 months after the release of an LTS version of Ubuntu).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the comments does ask for additional clarification (which is good and appreciated).&#xA;Regardless, we shouldn't assume one way or another that a VTC came from the user who commented -- Nor does it matter.  I do know that one of the votes came in well before that comment, so that earlier voter didn't request any clarification.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But again, even without any additional information, the question was &lt;em&gt;clear&lt;/em&gt; enough to answer and IMHO didn't warrant close votes.  It only takes 5 non-SME's that lack enough understanding to get from VTC to &amp;quot;Closed&amp;quot;.

I may leave a comment in advance of the VTC, or I may just go ahead and do it.  It should be noted that users with less than 20 reputation that attach an image are given a &lt;em&gt;warning&lt;/em&gt; when doing so that they should include the relevant portions as text, so they have (intentionally or otherwise) ignored that warning already.

On that basis, I did &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; at that time, read the original question.  I do tend to agree with @Mokubai's reasoning far more often than not, so I glossed over it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In retrospect and after reading the original question closely, I felt (note the past-tense) the question shouldn't have been closed (or stayed close).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@Mokubai said: I was on the fence with this one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was on the fence as well, and ultimately (after further research) I agree that it should remain closed, but it seems like for different reasons (detailed below).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;Why the question might should be reopened (or not closed in the first place)&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Taking the original question on its own merits:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have HP x360 2022 Chromebook where is the write protection screw placed on MB in this model.can I install windows 10 mrchromebox&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I rewrote this as:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have an HP x360 2022 Chromebook. Where is the write protection screw placed on the motherboard in this model? I'd like to install Windows 10 with MrChromebox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have to wonder if the question would have been closed if it had used proper grammar and (practically any) punctuation in the first place.  It definitely wasn't &amp;quot;clear&amp;quot; given the broken English and lack of punctuation, but if it was understandable enough for another community member to either (a) edit it, and/or (b) answer it, then it's probably not &amp;quot;unclear&amp;quot; enough to VTC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Mokubai's reasoning for leaving it closed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is almost entirely focused on a problem (the write protect screw) that may not actually exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So?  While I hate to do it, a negative answer (e.g. &amp;quot;it's not possible or &amp;quot;it doesn't exist&amp;quot;) is perfectly acceptable here, and I've had to do it before.  A user doesn't know in advance whether or what they are asking is possible or not.  I don't see that as a valid reason for the question to be (or remain) closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, the &lt;em&gt;focus&lt;/em&gt; of the problem &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; wrong (see below).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;installing Windows does not appear to be an intended feature on a Chromebook&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you (gronostaj) mentioned in the comments, I don't think this is a good reason to close or keep closed either.  I get a boatload of questions on &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/windows-subsystem-for-linux&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;windows-subsystem-for-linux&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;windows-subsystem-for-linux-container&quot;&gt;windows-subsystem-for-linux&lt;/a&gt; (my favored tag) that are outside the bounds of its &amp;quot;normally intended use&amp;quot;.  That can make answering them even more fun! ;-)  But they aren't off-topic or &amp;quot;unclear&amp;quot; as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;there is almost no real actionable detail in the question such as what they tried, where they were stuck, or why they think it should be possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apologies, but it seems pretty obvious that they had read somewhere that the write protect screw was an important part of being able to accomplish the task (installing Windows on the device).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What had they tried?&lt;/em&gt;  Probably to find where the screw was, which would be a bit difficult since it apparently doesn't exist on that model!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Where were they stuck?&lt;/em&gt;  Finding the nonexistent screw!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why did they think it was possible?&lt;/em&gt;  Clearly some instructions that they were (erroneously) trying to follow for another, older device.  Would it have made a difference if they had included a link to those instructions?  It doesn't seem like having those instructions as a reference point was going to change the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From the comments on the question, the OP asks how they proceed from there, with the response being:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@Burgi:  You need to go into details on what you have tried or this question is going to keep getting closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMHO, the proper response is that they need to post a new question on that.  The original question was answered.  An edit to focus on the &lt;em&gt;new&lt;/em&gt; (X instead of Y) question would be inappropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;Why the question might should remain closed&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Focusing purely on the question itself, my main complaint (other than the fixable grammar and punctuation) is that it seems to me to be a clear &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem&quot;&gt;XY Problem&lt;/a&gt;.  The &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; question is how to install Windows 10 on the device.  That should have been the &lt;em&gt;focus&lt;/em&gt; of the question, rather than the write-protect screw.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, &lt;em&gt;for me personally&lt;/em&gt; there's a deeper reason why I would prefer to leave this question closed.  I'm not sure whether it's acceptable to say it or not, but after reading some of the user's other posts, there seems to me to be a &lt;em&gt;pattern&lt;/em&gt; of &amp;quot;problematic&amp;quot; posts, both here on other SE sites, for &lt;em&gt;many&lt;/em&gt; years.  This includes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Severe&lt;/em&gt; lack of proper punctuation and capitalization, along with continuing poor grammar.  While I'm &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; supportive of those in our community who have trouble communicating in English, it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; by policy the language that Super User posts must use.  If a user continues to post with very broken English with no improvement over a span of years (and many, many posts), then I'm less inclined to give their posts the benefit-of-the-doubt in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A high percentage of closed questions (and those are just the ones that I can see that haven't been Roomba'd).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes inappropriate (&lt;a href=&quot;https://askubuntu.com/revisions/594484/8&quot;&gt;sometimes complete garbage&lt;/a&gt;) edits to both their posts and others' posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And sorry, to say, rule violations that I'll flag for moderators elsewhere&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really don't want to encourage this pattern to continue.  I'd like for this user's posts to &lt;em&gt;improve&lt;/em&gt; to the point where there's no question or debate that they are &lt;em&gt;good posts&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I certainly have no way of knowing for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm not the first to notice this pattern, and others may not be giving the benefit-of-the-doubt on &amp;quot;borderline&amp;quot; unclear questions for the same reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As one final example, less than two weeks after having this particular question closed (and downvoted), &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1738267/1210833&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; from the same user pops up (reposting here since it will be Roomba'd).  And it's much, much worse ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Lenovo core i3 slim lapt6&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's a general question about the device company has given a shutter lock on device camera?

It looks to me like a pure &amp;quot;Google Translate&amp;quot; question (e.g. &amp;quot;device company&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;manufacturer&amp;quot; or OEM).  And what the heck does the title have to do with the question?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, at this point, I think the proper action is to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Leave both of these questions closed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Perhaps a mod could reach out directly to the user to suggest improving the post quality?

I don't they think &lt;em&gt;should be&lt;/em&gt;, for a number of reasons (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/161804/902710&quot;&gt;this Meta SE question&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's fairly easy to confirm this by inspecting the page source for the closed question -- You will &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; find a &lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/block-indexing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;noindex&lt;/code&gt; directive&lt;/a&gt;.  On the other hand, you will find that all of the social networking index tools &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; still present in closed questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the question being discussed, it's already indexed and found via, for example &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/search?q=hp+x360+write+protection+screw&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; (or if you prefer &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=Firmware%20ChromeOS%20HP%20x360%20write%20protection&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;StartPage&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really hate that SE still allows indexing of closed questions.  It's really one of my biggest issues with the site(s).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My main reasons are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The closed question may have outdated answers which are now (due to changes since the original question) sub-optimal or even flat-out-wrong.  Because it is closed, it's impossible to provide a new, updated answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Questions that are closed as off-topic may have better answers on a more appropriate site.  For instance, a webapps question here may have several answers, but be (correctly) closed.  It's entirely possible that there are in-topic, current questions and answers on WebApps (.stackexchange.com).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, because Super user is more popular than WebApps, the search engines will place the &lt;em&gt;closed&lt;/em&gt; question on Super User higher (often &lt;em&gt;much&lt;/em&gt; higher) than the &lt;em&gt;better&lt;/em&gt; one on WebApps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's for this reason that I typically won't VTC a question that has an answer, &lt;em&gt;especially&lt;/em&gt; if I think there's a chance someone will post a better answer.  I hate to leave the off-topic question open, but it's still going to be indexed anyway.  Better to leave it open (ugh) and allow new answers than to close it and &amp;quot;lock in&amp;quot; the bad (or eventually outdated) answers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;To prevent &amp;quot;bad answers&amp;quot; from being locked in, I have to hope that off-topic or otherwise &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; questions &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; closed quickly (or not at all), when I'd rather give the user the chance to correct the problems first.  So I'm torn between being lenient (for &amp;quot;friendliness&amp;quot; on the site) or quick-to-close (to prevent the site from locking in bad answers).

Absolutely!  While things are sometimes closed here that I don't think should be, yours was absolutely an off-topic question.

As the linked blog explains, answers to your question would constantly be changing over time.  So what's highly upvoted or accepted today is &lt;em&gt;very likely&lt;/em&gt; absolutely wrong in the future.  Having a hardware recommendation stay here, where it isn't allowed, would absolutely degrade &lt;em&gt;purpose&lt;/em&gt; of the site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What terrible thing would have happened if the question remained open?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answers becoming out-of-date.

The&#xA;markdown that uses the 4 backticks for example, is this part of the&#xA;built in format per the SU posts that go over this because the tool SU&#xA;provides to write a post does not give those sort of options unless&#xA;I'm overlooking something. What should I read as a starting point to&#xA;make that as easy as writing the answer? Do you know this per front&#xA;end web coding HTML, etc. or did you read about these formatting&#xA;options in a howto post? I like simple when it come to writing a post&#xA;though so the simpler the better for me personally. –  &lt;code&gt;Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Jun 7 at 20:57&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@JW0914 And yes, if I'm overlooking something simple that is built in, I wouldn't be surprised either.

Thank you! –  &lt;code&gt;Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Jun 7 at 21:00&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Formatting options can be found in the formatting bar on&#xA;questions/answers, directly above the content box, with the formatting&#xA;bar's question icon expanding a help section. There is no markdown&#xA;that uses four backticks - single backticks are used for monospaced&#xA;code, whereas three backticks are for code boxes. Monospaced code&#xA;markdown is important for a few reasons, as web translators don't&#xA;translate it (a necessity) and its easier to notice and read, keeping&#xA;commands on the same line &amp;amp; not line breaking them, which is&#xA;imperative for clear understanding of where the command begins and&#xA;ends –  &lt;code&gt;JW0914 Jun 7 at 22:30&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@JW0914 When I write an answer or a post, I typically use the options&#xA;that are here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ekMVX.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ekMVX.png&lt;/a&gt; and I have not clicked&#xA;the &lt;code&gt;(?)&lt;/code&gt; there and then look over advanced help. While that detail is&#xA;useful, I do not think the actual options from the bar provide all&#xA;those level of formatting. For example the 3 backticks is not what you&#xA;get when you click it to put the code block. You have to explicitly&#xA;type the 3 backticks before and after you code block for that format&#xA;and know that's what you are supposed to do. I'll play with it more&#xA;when I get some time though. –  &lt;code&gt;Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Jun 8 at 13:27&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Screenshot linked to is the formatting bar. While the formatting bar's&#xA;code link indents at four whitespaces on a new line, the help section&#xA;shows three backticks under Code)_, I'm unsure why the formatting&#xA;bar's code button is still using the antiquated four whitespaces&#xA;(results in significantly more storage overhead for content when&#xA;scaled to an answer site like StackExchange); either/or can be used,&#xA;however backticks allow specifying the specific syntax directlyafter&#xA;them (e.g. three backticks then bash, ini, xml, etc.), versus the&#xA;inefficient way it must be done with four whitespaces –  &lt;code&gt;JW0914 Jun 8 at 17:31&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="510662" LastEditorUserId="510662" LastEditDate="2022-09-22T14:47:27.860" LastActivityDate="2022-09-22T14:47:27.860" Title="Is the format bar code sample/block option inefficient" Tags="|discussion|feature-request|" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is just my personal preference, and I do often wish that the SE editor would use backticks rather than indentation for code-blocks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would never edit an answer just to change it from four-space-indent to three-backticks, nor would I ask someone else to change their method.  If I was making &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; edits to the post which were made &lt;em&gt;easier&lt;/em&gt; by a backtick codeblock, then I would probably convert it.  In other words, I'd only change it if it &amp;quot;got in my way.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;this account has modified other posts of mine in the past reformatting it using some of these methods entirely chaging my answer layout&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess I'm confused on that point.  The end-result of either codeblock method should be identical.  If other formatting changes were done, then the person &lt;em&gt;hopefully&lt;/em&gt; thought that they were improvements in other aspects.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It was also mentioned that the more modern three backticks method is more effecient for various reasons, and stated the four leading white spaces has storage overhead for answer content.&#xA;...&#xA;Can this technical concern/reason expressed by this person regarding this matter be debunked by some backend storage technology which handles this concern?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt;.  I'm sure a SE staff could answer in detail, but SE is served &lt;code&gt;gzip&lt;/code&gt;'d through (I believe) Nginx and Varnish, and both support retrieving the content from the backend &lt;em&gt;in compressed form&lt;/em&gt;.  I'm not an expert in this area, but I think it's very likely that the markdown is stored on the backend pre-&lt;code&gt;gzip&lt;/code&gt;'d.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's consider either option:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the posts &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; stored in compressed form on the backend, then four-spaces-indent codeblocks can &lt;em&gt;actually be more efficient&lt;/em&gt; than backticks &lt;em&gt;by a hair&lt;/em&gt;, at best.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I ran two separate tests.  In one, non-real-world example, 20 lines of four-space indented content compressed to 4-bytes smaller than the equivalent backticks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But, as I said, this was a very contrived example (twenty lines of &lt;code&gt;echo one&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To see what a real example would look like, I used your answer's &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;PowerShell Exchange On-Premise&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; code-block.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;code&gt;gzip&lt;/code&gt; form, both the backticks version and the indented version were exactly the same size -- 514 bytes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the posts are stored uncompressed, then obviously the backticks form will be more efficient, but by how much?  Your answer's code-block was 848 bytes with backticks and 888 bytes with indents, a difference of around 5%.  And that's just for the code-block.  If you take the rest of the post, the difference is probably less than 1%.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is a 1% savings in storage costs worthwhile?  Maybe, if you are storing data on the scale of SE.  But in that case, they'll probably be going with server-side compression anyway, and getting bigger gains.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this is 100% totally true, is it already on the radar to change that method to be the easy-to-find and use code block/sample option from the format bar?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, while I don't use it (since I'm a keyboard junky and I find the mouse movement to the formatting bar inefficient), I'd still love to see it changed just out of personal preference for the ease of editing backticks-code.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And for the same reason, I'd love to see images be inline, rather than with the &lt;code&gt;[]&lt;/code&gt; reference at the bottom of the post.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But again, this is purely personal preference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think we've &lt;em&gt;probably&lt;/em&gt; debunked the &amp;quot;100% totally true&amp;quot; part enough for it not to matter from that perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h5&gt;Side-note formatting nitpick&lt;/h5&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your question above, you use &lt;code&gt;**bold**&lt;/code&gt; to format the &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Format bar code sample option&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;White Space Code&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are more semantically appropriate as headings (&lt;code&gt;####&lt;/code&gt;, etc.).  And yes, there's a good, &lt;em&gt;technical&lt;/em&gt; reason -- screen reader software/accessibility.

The third is borderline.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shopping recommendation&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, as @Ramhound agreed, your question was not about a Shopping Recommendation.  It did, IMHO, follow the exact guidance of &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; to ask a &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt; shopping question in Jeff Atwood's &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2010/11/23/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping/&quot;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; from 12 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question should, IMHO, have not been closed as &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;seeking for [a] Hardware shopping recommendation&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; based on the guidance of the Super User co-founder.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Opinion based&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But @Ramhound says in the previous answer that your question was still requesting &amp;quot;opinion&amp;quot; and should be left closed for that reason.  I disagree with that reasoning as well.  Jeff's example &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; question is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How do I tell which point-and-shoot cameras take good low light photos?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Jeff makes the point that shopping questions here that are asking about &lt;em&gt;how to shop&lt;/em&gt; help us all learn useful skills that have long-term value, vs. the short-term &amp;quot;laundry lists&amp;quot; of &amp;quot;what to buy&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;when it comes to shopping questions, don’t ask us what you should buy — ask us &lt;em&gt;what you need to learn&lt;/em&gt; to tell what you should buy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which, I agree, is exactly what you did.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does answering this require opinion?  Yes.  But that's &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; disallowed!  The &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/dont-ask&quot;&gt;Help Center&lt;/a&gt; says:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some subjective questions are allowed&lt;/strong&gt; .... Constructive subjective questions .... inspire answers that explain “why” and “how”.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which I think yours did.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Jeff's example answer to the &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; shopping question even starts out with:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I strongly recommend looking for ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yup!  That's a &lt;em&gt;recommendation&lt;/em&gt; -- Opinion.  And that's completely (according to the co-founder of the service) perfectly acceptable and &lt;em&gt;encouraged&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Needs details or clarity&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So reading your question (now deleted), a case &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be made that &amp;quot;hidden surprises&amp;quot; is just too vague.  As you said:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not precognitive and cannot possibly know what feature will be cut or crippled next&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And, well, neither are we.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But that's borderline as well, IMHO.  A reasonable answer to your question (in the spirit of Jeff Atwood's recommendation) might be something like:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While it's impossible, of course, to &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; in advance features that we don't (or can't) anticipate will be done away with in a new model, these types of &amp;quot;regressions&amp;quot; are often noticed and mentioned by professional reviewers.  I can only recommend researching thoroughly by reading as many reviews (not checklists/comparisons) as you can before buying.  If a respected reviewer or review publication spent significant time with the laptop (as they should) then they will hopefully notice these.  Most reviewers will have used and reviewed previous models as well, so missing features will often be noticed and pointed out in the review.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's not a perfect answer by any means, but there's most likely no &amp;quot;perfect laptop&amp;quot; either.  And clearly what's important to you is not always going to be important to each reviewer, since you mention that you read multiple articles anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But even with the uncertainty of not knowing what the next &amp;quot;hidden surprise&amp;quot; will be, I think there are still reasonable answers that can be proposed to your (very valid, IMHO) question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, if there was any valid reason to close, I think &amp;quot;clarity&amp;quot; might be the closest.  I honesty might have voted-to-close based on this if I didn't spend a few minutes thinking about it in more depth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a few additional recommendations I might make on your original question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You clarified that the models you listed were examples of ones where you had issues in the past, &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; candidates that you were considering.  However, that edit came late (after the close), so I can understand a little of the initial kneejerk reaction to closing.  Still, this is one of the reasons why &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/14682/1210833&quot;&gt;I think moderators should only wield the &amp;quot;Mod-close hammer&amp;quot; in the cases of &lt;em&gt;obvious&lt;/em&gt; (not borderline) issues&lt;/a&gt;, and instead let the community reach 5 votes to close in most cases.  I've chatted with Mods on multiple SE sites, and that tends to be the favored Mod approach on the other sites I frequent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I might still have done away with model names, etc.  And there was really no reason to mention the baseline, since it didn't have any (to you) critical issues.  It makes it sound more like a comparison to one particular model.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, I would have gotten rid of the word &amp;quot;candidate&amp;quot; -- Probably &amp;quot;most recent laptop&amp;quot;.  You didn't even have to mention that it was the one you were about to return.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yes, I would have done away with the prices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's clearly a tone of frustration in your original main-site (not Meta) question, which people sometimes react to negatively (leading to hasty closures).  Try to keep the emotion to a minimum, IMHO.  I don't think that had anything to do with the original Mod-closure here, but it might have impacted other votes had it stayed open longer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regardless, I do hope you eventually ended up with a laptop that has served you well for the last two years since you asked the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1210833" LastActivityDate="2022-09-28T20:54:59.013" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I understand most of the concerns  that were raised against my question. And when I say &amp;quot;understand&amp;quot;, I also mean that I can agree with their reasoning. Yet, I still disagree with the decision. And I am extending this post with my EDIT1 below to explain why. Please keep in mind that I am still not suggesting that Mokubai's reasoning is wrong, I just believe it to be too narrowly focused. Only looking at the top shiny side of a coin and telling all valid statements about it is nothing incorrect. However, those statements alone do make the conclusion one makes about the coin incorrect, if nothing of its shady underside is mentioned and considered. So my challenge is to convince Mokubai and her/his followers that the coin has another side.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who the question is about&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Let me use Mokubai's own example, turning it against her/him.&#xA;&lt;em&gt;It's like asking about the gas cylinder in your &amp;quot;computer chair&amp;quot; just because it is a chair you use at your computer. Plastic manufacturing is not computer hardware, it is used to make computers, but is not one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;If you take a look at the makers of those gas cylinders, you arrive to the names of companies most visitors of SuperUser have likely never heared of, producers not relevant in the computer industry. Then take a look at who is making those slim, laptop-style keycaps and you do not get back names of chemical plants or plastic product factories. You get names like Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo. Every single one of these manufacturers is a serious player in the computer industry. The relation here is very clear. Which proves that the subject of my question is closely tied to computer hardware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who can answer the question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;High-end laptops have their body carved out of a few large pieces of aluminium (or just a single brick of it). Yet it goes against logic to ask questions about these in a Metal Forging and CNCing group simply because it is highly unlikely that the big metal-worker guys there would actually be familiar with laptop body manufacturing. However, it is highly likely that a certain set of SuperUser members know about it.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Similarly, visitors of a plastic moulding group would be unlikely to know how slim computer keyboard keycaps are made because it is too specific to computer manufacturing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where else would it fit better?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;So far I heared opposers saying that my question does not belong to SuperUser, but nobody said where else it belongs to then. I even asked this as a direct question, yet, no better suggestion. I actually looked through the other StackExchange groups in search of a more approite one for my question, but because of the above reasons, I couldn't find any.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regarding web search:&lt;/strong&gt; David is right. A web search does indeed yield multiple on-topic results. Unfortunately they are all about the bulky legacy keycaps that I already have enough knowledge about, and not the modern laptop-style keycaps my question is about. The same goes for the Wikipedia article.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;But, since I am guilty of not showing attempts to look for answers on my own, I am happy to add such a search query and the explanation of why those hits are not suitable to my original question, if there are no other issues with it to become active once again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regarding the question being too broad and showing 14 separate questions:&lt;/strong&gt; NotTheDr01ds phrased it better than I ever could. The main question is indeed somewhat broad. But there aren't really 14 different questions, just one. The sub-questions all revolve around the main one. And are there exactly for the purpose of focusing that broad main question. You don't need to put in much effort to see what my intention there was.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regarding NotTheDr01ds suggestion to break them up to individual questions:&lt;/strong&gt; it would be very counterproductive to do all that just to literally satisfy a rule. And if Mokubai did not like my original post, 14 similar questions around the same topic would really piss her/him off. Because each of those sub-questions addresses the exact same set of people (those who can answer one, are most likely the ones to answer the other), about the same topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not saying that the above make SuperUser the ideal forum to post my question in. But it is not one where it would not fit either. Does anybody here really believes that this kind of question lessens the quality or focus of SuperUser? And while some people have earlier decided not to vote for re-opening it, would you also have closed it yourself?&#xA;This is all the ammunition I have. If the above are not convincing enough, then I don't mind deleting the question from SuperUser. Just still don't know where else to post it then.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;EDIT2&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do not see the details that Giacomo1968 sees.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/8vvvj.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/8vvvj.png&quot; alt=&quot;I do not see what Giacomo1968 sees&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="274385" LastEditorUserId="274385" LastEditDate="2022-11-06T14:30:49.253" LastActivityDate="2022-11-06T14:30:49.253" Title="Asking for 2nd opinion on moderator-closed question" Tags="|discussion|" AnswerCount="4" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Just that is has to be &lt;em&gt;about&lt;/em&gt; one of those topics.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Stack Overflow actually does use the word &lt;strong&gt;unique&lt;/strong&gt; in their requirements, &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;unique to software development&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;.  Super User does not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the topic of plastic molding and materials has many different applications, but the process of creating keycaps is likely fairly unique among them.  It goes far beyond just the molding.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, while it's (IMHO) on-topic and an interesting question, I'm still torn on whether it is a good &lt;em&gt;fit&lt;/em&gt; for the site as it is currently written.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My first concern is that you ask a lot of &amp;quot;sub-questions&amp;quot;, which could be seen as a reason to keep your question closed on the &amp;quot;Needs more focus&amp;quot;.  Questions here should focus on one particular problem per question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;BUT (arguing against myself), your sub-questions are (a) clearly related to the main question, and (b) if left out, the main question would still be just as valid.  So I think having these examples of &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;specific questions to guide you along the details I am interested to learn&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; is useful, and shouldn't count as &amp;quot;having more than one question&amp;quot;.  That's definitely my personal opinion, and there are others here who believe otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I see two ways to solve this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take out the sample &amp;quot;sub-questions&amp;quot; and leave only the &amp;quot;how is it made&amp;quot; top-level question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Break this up into separate questions/posts.

The moderator deleted this answer with a comment stating that the question should remain and be discussed by the community for a while before any answer like mine is accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, after close to a week of discussion and investigation, it turns out that my answer that was deleted is indeed totally correct. You can see by the reading the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1751875/167207&quot;&gt;answer offered by the very helpful user @roaima&lt;/a&gt; and the comments associated with his answer that his answer substantiates the validity of my own answer that was deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In other words, the following statement I made in my deleted answer has now been shown to be totally correct:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;rsync&lt;/code&gt; cannot be relied upon to operate correctly when sync'ing between an ext4 filesystem under linux and an APFS filesystem under MacOS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am therefore requesting that this deleted answer be reinstated, although the green check-mark should be removed in favor of @roaima's answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another reason for this is because some comments that are associated with that deleted answer clarify other statements that have been made in the discussion of this question, and it would be beneficial if other readers of this question could read those clarifying comments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I completely understand that my original answer was posted in frustration after not enough time had passed for a meaningful investigation and discussion of my question to be completed. However, the wholesale deletion of that answer seems to me to be an excessive over-reaction. All that needed to be done by the moderator (in my opinion) was to remove the green check mark that I put onto my original answer and to add a comment explaining why and asking me to wait before jumping to conclusions. Such a comment was indeed posted by the moderator, and so I believe that the answer deletion was not needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I hope that my deleted answer will now be re-instated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;em&gt;Original answer pasted below for &amp;lt;10k users to be able to view:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I give up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think that the only viable answer to my question is the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;code&gt;rsync&lt;/code&gt; cannot be relied upon to operate correctly when sync'ing between an &lt;code&gt;ext4&lt;/code&gt; filesystem under linux and an &lt;code&gt;APFS&lt;/code&gt; filesystem under MacOS.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have a mostly unused Mac sitting around, and I thought I could save some money by using it as an &lt;code&gt;rsync&lt;/code&gt;-based backup repository for my linux box, instead of going out and purchasing an extra USB drive for that purpose.

This is not a “Linux versus macOS” issue where someone who rant about how “bad” macOS is and just rant and rave&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;macOS is not “bad” or “worse” than Linux. But by default what you want to do flies in the face of the default APFS case insensitivity that can easily be solved by either reformatting the disk as being case sensitive or adding an external drive formatted as being case sensitive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is why the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1751875/167207&quot;&gt;accepted answer&lt;/a&gt; should stay the accepted answer.

With a recent release of WSL last week, those features are now available for Windows 10 users as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been working through editing a number of my old answers to keep them up-to-date.  Sometimes, as in &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/a/1667985/1210833&quot;&gt;this answer&lt;/a&gt;, the new way of doing things is just so much better that I'd like to replace the old answer entirely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is that, likely for a short period of time, some users still won't be able to upgrade as corporate IT rolls out the Windows monthly servicing releases.  I have three options that I can see:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add the &amp;quot;new way&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;old way&amp;quot; in the same answer, just in case someone still needs the &amp;quot;old way&amp;quot; in the next few weeks.  I don't like this, as it makes the answer more convoluted.  I've done this in the past, and then someone comes along and just answers with the &amp;quot;new way&amp;quot; (because they didn't bother reading the &amp;quot;too long&amp;quot; version with &lt;em&gt;both&lt;/em&gt;).  Almost inevitably, that answer then starts getting more upvotes than my &amp;quot;full version&amp;quot;.  So it seems clear that users/voters prefer the concise, shorter form.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add a new answer with the &amp;quot;new way&amp;quot;, keep the old answer, and just put a warning and link at the top of the old that most users should see the new answer first.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I've currently opted for in a couple of these cases, like the answer referenced above, where it seems unlikely that anyone will need the &amp;quot;old way&amp;quot;, is to just replace the existing answer entirely with the &amp;quot;new way&amp;quot; and point readers to the Edit History (with a link directly to the old information) in the unlikely event they need it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This, to me, keeps the answer list &amp;quot;cleaner&amp;quot; while still providing the old information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does anyone see issues with this approach?

As far as I can tell, your question wasn't &lt;em&gt;originally&lt;/em&gt; closed for being holistic, but primarily because it lacked one important detail -- The operating system.  I fully agree with that &lt;em&gt;original&lt;/em&gt; closure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it had included this when you first posted, I &lt;em&gt;believe&lt;/em&gt; that it would have remained open.  That it was closed made it then harder to get reopened under the (misunderstood, IMHO)  &amp;quot;problems you face&amp;quot; rule.  I doubt it would have been closed originally as a question that wasn't a problem you faced.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If&lt;/em&gt; the &lt;em&gt;current&lt;/em&gt; reason for it staying closed is that it is off-topic (which seems to be *Mokubai's opinion in the comments above), then IMHO (and I could be wrong about the process here) the question should be reopened and reclosed with the new reason.  It's certainly not lacking for detail or clarity at this point!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regardless, it seems very clear to me even from that original question that you were trying to solve a problem.  The &amp;quot;rule&amp;quot; doesn't say that you must elaborate on the problem.  It's certainly &lt;em&gt;recommended&lt;/em&gt; for other reasons (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/66377/902710&quot;&gt;XY Problem&lt;/a&gt;).  However, it shouldn't be a close-reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then there are comments saying that you should never &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; to do what you are asking, that it's a bad idea, etc.  &lt;em&gt;That's information that belongs in answers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I voted to reopen, and it currently needs 2 more votes to be reopened.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;This Meta question&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But on to &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there nowhere on Stack Exchange where such questions are allowed to stand?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm going to read &amp;quot;holistic&amp;quot; here as &lt;em&gt;a desire to obtain a high-level understanding of the system&lt;/em&gt;.  In many ways it's similar to a &amp;quot;curiosity&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hypothetical&amp;quot; question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With that in mind, it's important to understand that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/dont-ask&quot;&gt;Don't Ask&lt;/a&gt; help page that @Mokubia cited in the comments is the &lt;em&gt;same&lt;/em&gt; for most every Stack Exchange site.  According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/20090/lets-improve-the-how-do-i-ask-a-good-question-wiki-page/20091#comment45169_20091&quot;&gt;this Staff comment&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We generally avoid customizing Help Center articles for specific sites unless the current version of the page doesn't fit the site at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So we can actually find discussions related to your question throughout various Stack sites, and especially &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;Meta.SE&lt;/a&gt;.  And that help text and policy has been debated for years, it seems.  It's even been debated on &lt;em&gt;both sides&lt;/em&gt; by the site's co-founder:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So long as your question isn't hypothetical in a meaningless &amp;quot;I'm bored, entertain me&amp;quot; way -- that is, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/are-some-questions-too-simple/&quot;&gt;it is interesting to other experienced users&lt;/a&gt;, that's probably fine. - &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.meta.stackexchange.com/a/484/432493&quot;&gt;@JeffAtwood&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But then it appears Jeff may have wavered on this somewhat, making &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/164436/is-there-a-rule-of-thumb-for-objective-questions-asked-out-of-curiosity/164452#comment479037_164452&quot;&gt;this comment&lt;/a&gt; later:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can you make me &lt;em&gt;believe&lt;/em&gt; you, or someone you know, could conceivably face this problem? If not, then take it somewhere else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then @Mokubai has &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/a/11382/1210833&quot;&gt;said in the past&lt;/a&gt; that:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this does preclude some vague questions it does not mean you can never ask a question about hypothetical limits....&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can imagine someone hitting a specific, definable and repeatable problem, then that could be okay.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;General Stack Exchange consensus&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the general Stack Exchange community consensus to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/164436/902710&quot;&gt;Is there a rule of thumb for objective questions asked out of curiosity?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... was that they are completely acceptable on Stack sites.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;Other sites&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that every Stack Exchange site has their own policies, community, and mod team, of course.  For example, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://askubuntu.com&quot;&gt;Ask Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; community and mods (in my experience and opinion) would certainly allow and even encourage a holistic question, as long as it was on-topic in all other respects.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some sites just have &lt;em&gt;no choice&lt;/em&gt; but to ignore the &amp;quot;actual problems you face&amp;quot; text entirely in almost &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; context.  Imagine a question on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://scifi.stackexchange.com/help/dont-ask&quot;&gt;Science Fiction &amp;amp; Fantasy&lt;/a&gt; Stack being about &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;actual problems that you face&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h4&gt;Examples from high-profile users&lt;/h4&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a bit &amp;quot;underhanded&amp;quot;, to be sure, because everyone can ask or answer questions that they later feel they shouldn't (I have), but a couple of interesting questions that, IMHO, aren't based in a &lt;em&gt;actual problem the poster faced&lt;/em&gt;, but were more curiosity-based.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And again, I don't personally consider these off-topic questions that should have been closed in the first place, but &lt;em&gt;good questions&lt;/em&gt; that meet the &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;inspire how or why&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt; guidance (see below in the &lt;em&gt;My Opinion&lt;/em&gt; section).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://security.stackexchange.com/q/12041/252411&quot;&gt;Are &amp;quot;man in the middle&amp;quot; attacks extremely rare?&lt;/a&gt; on the Security Stack - By Jeff Atwood.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is simply a question wanting &lt;em&gt;data&lt;/em&gt;.

One could argue the volume is 'corrupt' But corrupt in itself is a meaningless term. Question that was deemed duplicate is about a specific scenario, the answer in the wiki is not. Answer also treats bad sector same as 'corruption'.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, taking USB drive out of enclosure and thus skipping a hardware / translation layer makes sense when we're indeed dealing with bad sectors. But for someone that needs to recover data from a logical issue it's an extra hurdle that can be skipped. Or, checking health of the drive is always a good idea, but in case the cause of logical corruption is known it is relatively safe to assume no health issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Point is, the 'answer' treats very different issues as if it were the same. If the question is not flagged duplicate, a more specific answer is possible which could serve as wiki for partial overwrite for example.

Either way, why Ask that here, rather than of your kit manufacturer? – Robbie Goodwin&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@RobbieGoodwin Sure, it's on topic: superuser.com/help/on-topic &amp;quot;What topics can I ask about here? ... personal and home computer networking&amp;quot;.

Just because you think the answer is obvious does not mean it is, nor not worth explaining – cat40&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@cat40 Fine and with respect, so what? Because it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else doesn't mean it must be accepted in SE superuser where it more clearly doesn't fit. Why is it hard for some to see that some Questions simply do not fit the spaces which have gone before, and need new spaces of their own to be created? –  Robbie Goodwin&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;@RobbieGoodwin I should also note this question has already spawned two excellent answers, both of which are extremely accessible while still being technically correct.

suspend users under three circumstances: when a user is recreated after being previously suspended, when a user is recreated after being destroyed for spam or abuse, and when a network-wide suspension is in effect on an account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;³ A &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; user is deleted along with all that they had posted: questions, answers, comments. &lt;a

spam.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁴ This counts every review that was submitted (not skipped) - so the 2 suggested edits reviews needed to approve an edit would count as 2, the goal being to indicate the frequency of moderation actions. This also applies to flags, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁵ Includes close flags (but &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; close or reopen votes). Community can handle these flags by at least one person voting to close a question that has a close flag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁶ This ignores numerous deletions that happen automatically in response to some other action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁷ This includes comments deleted by their own authors (which also account for some number of handled comment flags).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Further reading:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wanna see how these numbers have changed over time?

If you decide to post the question there, please bear in mind that there a huge chance that the first reviewers of the question will be unfamiliar with Discord and might think that the question is off-topic if it uses ambigous terms like &lt;em&gt;server&lt;/em&gt;, i.e. it might be closed for being about developing / administering a web application (as computer sciences student / programmer / professional system administrator / professional software developer), so please make it clear that the question is about &lt;strong&gt;using&lt;/strong&gt; Discord &lt;strong&gt;as end-user&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Those having enough reputation to participate on &lt;a href=&quot;https://webapps.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;Meta Web Applications&lt;/a&gt; might post there a question for further clarification.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;P.S.

I tried several times to reword/reframe the post, but because I don't understand why, or in what way the post is unfocused the post remained closed. The reason stated on the post is simply,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;This question needs to be more focused&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this sounds very straightforward; to me, in this instance it is quite baffling.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question I asked is simply of the form,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Can you write an accumulator as a formula or not?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Likewise, the example I used to clarify the problem is literally what I was trying to do. I kept the example as simple as I could while still conveying the problem with its context. Perhaps the problem is that it was clear and simple &amp;quot;in my mind&amp;quot;. I even included that I had tried a monster IF() statement, but that wasn't really a viable solution for me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I did read (and re-read) the articles: &amp;quot;How to ask a good question&amp;quot;, as well as the suggestions on how to focus your question in, &amp;quot;What does it mean if a question is &amp;quot;closed&amp;quot;?&amp;quot; And I thought I was applying the directions in those articles correctly. When I go back and re-read my post, I still can't see what's &amp;quot;unfocused&amp;quot; about it. The problem with that, of course, is I'm afraid to make another post because I'm totally blind to what's wrong with it; and it's very discouraging to get your post slapped down and not even understand why.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With that said, any reply that can help me improve both my questions in the future, and help me figure out what I missed when crafting this one is greatly appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1734120" LastEditorUserId="10165" LastEditDate="2023-02-23T06:12:08.460" LastActivityDate="2023-02-24T01:08:43.160" Title="How to fix an unfocused post, that I thought was pretty well focused" Tags="|discussion|specific-question|" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Speedtest, fast.com, my ISP test site all shows the speed is normal at 290 to 320 mbps. But speedcheck shows the internet speed is 4 mbps at daytime, 2mbps at night. That is exactly what my program experienced.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tells you that your ISP's connection to speedcheck is bad. &lt;em&gt;But&lt;/em&gt; lots of ISPs host speed test servers locally, and this might be a bottleneck elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I contacted my ISP, they checked the status and log, they were unable to identify any problem.

All I can read in this question is “Something happened and I don’t like it.” A better question for meta would have been:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I don’t understand why my question was closed. Can I get some guidance on what happened?”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Being personally slighted is not a valid reason to wanting your question to be reopened. The stated close reason is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“Add details and clarify the problem being solved. This will help others answer the question. You can edit the question.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But instead of asking for what details are needed, you claim here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“But &amp;quot;I need to provide more details&amp;quot;, yeah I would do that if possible, but I already gave every info I can provide.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Excuse me? You have not provided any useful details, but I will explain later. For now you stated this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“&amp;quot;You are not understanding how this site operates&amp;quot; - direct quote from the moderator”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, that was my quote. But I am not a moderator at all; I am a regular user here. What I did was vote on to close the question. Most any user with a basic level of reputation can vote to close a question. And in this case two users (me and &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/8672/harrymc&quot;&gt;harrymc&lt;/a&gt;) as well as one moderator (&lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/users/337631/davidpostill&quot;&gt;DavidPostill&lt;/a&gt;) voted to close the question).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And when I &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/14915/my-post-was-unfairly-closed?noredirect=1#comment43765_14915&quot;&gt;pointed this out to you in the comments&lt;/a&gt; on this meta post &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/14915/my-post-was-unfairly-closed?noredirect=1#comment43766_14915&quot;&gt;your response was&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“@Giacomo1968 A person who can close other people's post by force is a moderator, no matter how you want to call it.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Excuse me? I am ONE lone user here. The question &lt;em&gt;was not&lt;/em&gt; closed because of my ONE close vote; it took one other person and a moderator to come to a consensus and then the question was closed. You might be a relatively new user to SuperUser but you clearly are not a new user of Stack Exchange sites at all. But anyway, &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/site-moderators&quot;&gt;here is a guide that explains how moderation on Super User works&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, closed posts can be reopened. &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/help/reopen-questions&quot;&gt;This guide&lt;/a&gt; explains how to reopen a question on SuperUser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said…&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What can you do to reopen your question?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You said this before:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“…yeah I would do that if possible, but I already gave every info I can provide.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, you provided &lt;em&gt;no useful info at all&lt;/em&gt;. You simply posted a lot of details that primarily abstractly explain what you did but no details others could use to help you. So here is a list of what I believe you can add to your question that would make it a viable candidate for reopening:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What is the exact make and model of your Windows machine?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What version of Windows is being used?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;What is the exact make and model of the modem and/or router you use to connect to your ISP?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Is this a hard-wired Ethernet connection between your PC and the Internet modem/router? Or is it a Wi-Fi connection?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Internet speed is always an unreliable metric when measuring performance like this. So your writing about various consumer spend benchmark results is meaningless. A better test would be to use traceroute to see if there are any devices between you, your ISP and the data source that might choke.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Was there a Windows or Python update that might have caused a hiccup?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, that is all of the info that might be useful to help others debug but here are the factors that I think make this question unanswerable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download Speeds Rule Home ISP Connections&lt;/strong&gt;: Home ISP connections are always optimized for end-user download speeds; not incoming data connection speeds. This has always been the case but is even more of the case nowadays where digital streaming is a thing.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumer Level Accounts Don’t Are Not High Quality&lt;/strong&gt;: Even if you use Tracroute and find a device that chokes and seems to be unreliable. An ISP will only report back performance benchmarks and reliability based on their own internal requirements to maintain service for end users. Your issue with a process failing in the middle of the night will not be considered an issue. And past that, if the issue is some middle-device like a switch or a router at the ISP, they are not going to make it easy for you to report it since a small blip in the middle of the night would not really be considered an “outage” by most ISP standards.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ISPs Will Only Truly Address Issues Like This for Business Level Accounts&lt;/strong&gt;: If your account was a business account with 24/7 reliability, what I just wrote would not apply since business accounts guarantee higher levels of stability. A basic consumer account — which I think is what you have — would never garner any attention.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And when all is said and done, I do not think your original question has enough details to warrant a reopening because even if you added these details ISP issues like this are so unique and idiosyncratic that nobody could ever really help you here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is why I suggested in now deleted comments, and will again suggest it here, that &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Reddit&lt;/a&gt; is the better kind of place for this kind of troubleshooting question. In fact if you can find a Reddit or sub-Reddit that is focused on ISP issues in your area, that would be best. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dslreports.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DSL Reports&lt;/a&gt; might be another place to present your question and your issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Postscript to this…&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The postscript to this is a comment to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/users/380110/rockpaperlz-mask-it-or-casket&quot;&gt;RockPaperLz&lt;/a&gt; who &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/14915/my-post-was-unfairly-closed?noredirect=1#comment43776_14915&quot;&gt;commented as follows&lt;/a&gt;; bold emphasis is mine. This postscript should be useful to the original poster:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;“I think perhaps it may be time for you to take a relaxing break. You come across as angry and short-tempered. The OP might not be handling things as you wish, or ideally, but in my opinion, you are only adding fuel to the fire, and not handling things in a calm and kind manner. &lt;strong&gt;Perhaps step away for a while and enjoy the many beautiful things life has to offer? May you find peace and calmness.&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you (RockPaperLz) says, “I think perhaps it may be time for you to take a relaxing break.” Okay, fair enough. But when you say the final sentence “Perhaps step away for a while and enjoy the many beautiful things life has to offer? May you find peace and calmness.” This is just pandering and insulting nonsense.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Isn’t you saying this the equivalent of telling anyone anywhere with any knowledge to “&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmagzq&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Get a life!&lt;/a&gt;” How dare you tell anyone to “…enjoy the many beautiful things life has to offer?” when you are basically telling them to shut up?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How dare you or anyone dare to project your impressions of motivation around posts instead of just leaving your comment as “I think perhaps it may be time for you to take a relaxing break.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I have gotten a bit sick and tired of the politics of Stack Exchange sites. Somehow a small army of people come here and work to provide content for free but we are somehow treated like servants. I will gladly help anyone who can help themselves. In fact that is one of the reasons I started spending more and more online time on Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But recently, thanks to a few incidents (not just on Super User) I have been questioning why I am doing this. I mean at the end of the day my work provides content that then allows the owners of Stack Exchange to profit from my work. And why should I deal with this headache?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moderators and others can see that my interactions as of late have mainly been to edit posts to improve them followed by flags and comments. I haven’t been posting as many answers as I used to related to my thoughts above. But this incident with &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/q/1770653/167207&quot;&gt;this specific post here&lt;/a&gt; makes me question my work here. Consider it a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_that_broke_the_camel%27s_back&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;straw that broke the camel’s back&lt;/a&gt; moment, but why am I wasting my time helping so many people who barely can help themselves for free? To my knowledge, the bulk of the posts here are not life and death situations. Sure, sometimes things are frustrating but why should I — or anyone — spend so much time effectively doing work for no pay, no compensation and the reward of being chastised and perhaps (maybe) some meager reward of rep.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So when you, RockPaperLz, states “Perhaps step away for a while and enjoy the many beautiful things life has to offer?” all I have to think is during my daily life where real things happen I never get pandered like this. So why am I giving so much to a community that gives me so little in return?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure, I use SE sites to solve problems I deal with in my day job and personal tech life at times. But past that, I think I need to step aside and just consume advice. I mean there are more “beautiful things life has to offer” than being insulted and degraded for doing work for free, right?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Anyway, if Jeffrey Chen can edit their question to add more real details as outline, I will gladly vote to re-open it. Past that, I’m done!

Many people think that any question about webapps is on topic, but only questions about &lt;strong&gt;using&lt;/strong&gt; them actually are. To make things more difficult&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;many OP doesn't clear state enough details, but for some the question is still &amp;quot;answearable&amp;quot; / not as bad to be qualified as &amp;quot;crap&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the separation between &lt;strong&gt;using&lt;/strong&gt; a webapp and the other tasks have becoming blurry&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know that most users don't pay attention to tag wikis. Thinking specifically about people who vote to migrate and moderators, I'm wondering if it might be helpful to point them to one of the Meta Super User discussions about migration.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So far I have found these:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/9110/152004&quot;&gt;Reminder on voting to migrate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/14896/152004&quot;&gt;Do not migrate low-quality questions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The idea of pointing to a meta discussion from Meta SE instead of puting the information directly in the tag wiki is make it easier to mantain and to extend the solution to other tags that might have a similar situation according they being identified.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using a discussion from Meta SE looks to be more appropiate as&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the complete list of sites is in &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackexchange.com/sites&quot;&gt;https://stackexchange.com/sites&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;there is a specialized tag for asking SE site recommentations &lt;code&gt;site-recommentions&lt;/code&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;there are questions asking about where to ask questions about wordpress and other related stuff asked previously that could be used as target to close as duplicate new question that already has an answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the specific question is, is it OK to add the url to &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18941/289691&quot;&gt;Where should I ask WordPress questions?&lt;/a&gt;, a question from Meta SE instead of &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/9110/152004&quot;&gt;Reminder on voting to migrate&lt;/a&gt;, a questions from Meta Super User to the &lt;code&gt;wordpress&lt;/code&gt; tag excerpt?

Any half decent file recovery tool does not require in-place repairs.

Yes, I downvote such answers but over time even the worst answers have accumulated so many upvotes that my downvote becomes irrelevant.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, I know my opinions about these answers are just &amp;quot;my opinions&amp;quot;. But even if we consider this fact, the wiki, even if it would be 100% accurate remains a wall of text that may or may not answer a specific question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, since there's a wiki, as a side effect many data recovery related questions are simply closed and referred to the wiki.

There is no shame in skipping, but not having enough &lt;strong&gt;moderators&lt;/strong&gt; (community members moderating the site) partially explaing having so many bumped posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regarding data, &lt;a href=&quot;https://data.stackexchange.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Stack Exchange Data Explorer&lt;/a&gt; (SEDE) (in the footer the links just says &amp;quot;Data&amp;quot;) might be helpful. There are a lot of queries. Probably there is already some about bumped posts. Also in Meta SE there are several questions about SE / data-explorer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At the end, the question is, is really a problem having bumped posts multiple times? What will be the effect of stopping Community user from bumping all posts? What will be the effect of limiting the number of times that a post is bumped? Is there another way to handle neglected posts that might be more effective that bumping them?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/48578/289691&quot;&gt;What can cause a question to be bumped?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/288652/289691&quot;&gt;How to stop the Community user from dredging up old questions over and over?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/380926/289691&quot;&gt;Having the Community user offering bounties instead of bumping&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user152004" LastEditorDisplayName="user152004" LastEditDate="2023-04-12T05:42:50.860" LastActivityDate="2023-04-12T05:42:50.860" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Since reputation post older than 60 days with a score of +3 that's deleted is retained, there's some cases where it would cause a bigger effect than the single downvote if it dips to +2 and is deleted. The answer was correct when it was posted after all, and found useful at the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd consider two options - a custom closure explaining that the product is no longer available and a careful considered review and pruning of the tag - no more than a few tag edits a day, and honestly with the old tag cleanups we did, we had a lot of trouble helping folks get suggested edits through - and if its a planned/community sanctioned clean up, including that in the edit reason like &amp;quot;cleaning up the  as per &amp;quot; would help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd note I spent about... 2 years clearing up a tag, 2-3 edits a day over lunch breaks, so this is a marathon not a sprint, and nothing gets folks in trouble faster than being &lt;em&gt;too&lt;/em&gt; enthusiastic about things like this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other is to simply delete these questions. If the majority of the answers are broken, or the product is gone, this is an option. Maybe both in this case.

OP doesn't need your expertise to know that they can re-do their work or throw more money at the problem. They've asked the question because they want to avoid that. &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/q/7161/194694&quot;&gt;If there's no satisfying solution, they would like to at least understand why&lt;/a&gt; so they can avoid repeating their mistakes.

You can also consider leaving a comment instead. It won't get you any reputation, but that's not the goal - helping OP is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another thing to think about before posting an answer if you can't explain what OP is observing: is this &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; within your area of expertise? Maybe they're doing something similar to what you were doing for years, but they're using different software and you don't know its quirks? Maybe they're using the software you use, but you've never used that particular feature and you shouldn't be posting your guess, or at least you should make it clear that it's a guess and not a confident answer? Our knowledge and experience, even if broad, are still limited. It's important to know where these limits are. Speaking from the position of an expert without having anything valuable to say only dilutes your reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please also consider the fact that your well-meaning and confident answer may encourage someone to start redoing their work or buy new hardware before a more experienced user can post a better solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally: if you feel the need to delete an answer almost immediately after receiving a downvote, before I can finish typing an explanatory comment, then I think you should reflect on it. Do you have so little confidence in your answer's correctness? Maybe you should make that clear in the answer. Are you afraid of it getting more downvotes and losing you reputation points?

This meta site has some relatively recent posts related to interactions with OPs (answering, commenting, flagging, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are 14 questions with &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/faq&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;faq&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;faq&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-faq-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;faq&lt;/a&gt;. Still, other questions that do not have this tag discussing the use of moderation privileges might have important insights about how these privileges are better used in Super User.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some posts do not have &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/faq&quot; class=&quot;post-tag moderator-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;faq&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;faq&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-faq-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;faq&lt;/a&gt;; having &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/moderation&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;moderation&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;moderation&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-moderation-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;moderation&lt;/a&gt;, might be worth reading by new users and probably all who use their moderation privileges.

I'd like&#xA;to keep it as simple as possible, while minimizing data loss&#xA;(obviously a balance needs to be struck).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I currently archive my photos on two HDDs that are only running once a&#xA;week or so which. Both drives are backed and kept in a different&#xA;location. For day to day purposes I use an SDD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My question&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I understand one way to mitigate digital decay is to rewrite the files&#xA;on the HDD every so often (let's say once per year).

I remain in favour of the current ban and my words here should not be misunderstood to disagree with it.  &lt;strong&gt;Users posting many ChatGPT answers should be banned.&lt;/strong&gt;. However moderators are not the right way to handle the scourge of AI content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Leaving moderators to go toe to toe with bots will only end badly including, ironically, moderator burn out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moderators are good at moderating the humans. Let SE themselves work on stopping the bots&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, because bots are best stopped by technology not humans.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Only Confirmation Bias says you're good at determining this&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been seeing &amp;quot;ChatGPT hallucinations&amp;quot; in people's posts for the last 10 years! This includes made up quotes linking to non-existent articles... Only ChatGPT hasn't been around for 10 years and users are capable of generating bad content in the most weird forms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know that you may have seen many posts which look certainly like ChatGPT output.  The problem is that there's no direct feedback on whether you're getting it wrong or right. So you're going to be at serious risk of extreme conformation bias.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if you are personally good at making this judgement call, kindly remember how large SE is and consider the fact that SE has no means to test your personal ability on this topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;High risk racial bias&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately people are so bad at this that their practical assessment is likely to expose a significant unconscious racial bias.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Make no mistake, this is not about people from some countries having &amp;quot;bad English&amp;quot;.  That's not remotely what I'm discussing and would actually be quite racist of me to suggest! The reality is much more nuanced than that. Common English teaching in different countries varies producing markedly different styles, some more formal than others.  Where someone learns English can easily influence the extent to which their language is perceived as &amp;quot;perfect English&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the days since the ban was declared, I've personally become increasingly disheartened with the resulting witch hunt that has ensued.  It is absolutely counter cultural to SE.  Too many times I've seen accusations of ChatGPT where those accusations were based on use of English.  Command of the English language is isn't generally an indicator for ChatGPT both positive or negative!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What catches a serial ChatGPT user?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SE are not opening the door to every ChatGPT bot. There are other ways to detect it's usage that is much better than moderator intervention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best information for catching such users is actually buried in information that is not available to moderators.  This might include such features as&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the timing and evolution of saved drafts while forming answers&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the click through time between first viewing a question through to posting fully formed answers complete with citations&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cross SE answer rate&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are also multiple sources of information that moderators might have access to, but can be simply applied programmatically:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gptzero.me/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://gptzero.me/&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.zerogpt.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://www.zerogpt.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Simple post rates&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;SE do not need moderators to detect AI content!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ChatGPT is an AI model designed to be very good at authoring content&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;.  It is not remotely helpful with mimicking human behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Should there be a flagging process?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Probably yes.  But it's unclear what precisely could be done with those flags, other than letting them accumulate and try to spot a pattern across separate SE sites.  For reasons mentioned above these flags are likely to involve a high degree of false-positives and possibly be racially biased.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;There is no point in showing SE what the effect of this policy will be&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The logic here doesn't stack up. SE will find out the effect of this policy in good time when it goes into force and the real life effects can be seen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Strike action here actually does nothing but throw toys out of the pram.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The effect of this strike will not even be a fair demonstration of the effect of SE's policy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Moderators are not the community&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A strike here can only be action by moderators, it cannot be action taken by the community.  Forgive my directness but in other corners of SO I've already encountered moderators who think they are entitled to dictate to the community at large.  That's not the order of how stack exchange is built.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I empathise with the fact that moderators have genuine concerns and feel let down over this.  I also see there is some good community support for the view point.  But a strike here will hurt many who have not taken an interest in this particular topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Historically strikes turn those hurt most against the cause.  What I fear most here is a level of toxicity building between the moderators and the community.  There will inevitably be many who feel that moderators should either do their best to fulfil their role or otherwise move out of the way for someone else who will.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short nuclear options always have massive collateral damage and invariably unintended consequences.  I'd urge you to reconsider your approach.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;perceived&amp;quot; here meaning the conclusion was made from the content of the post, or the behaviour of the user without conclusive proof such as a signed confession.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am also against handing out sanctions where the poster has explicitly stated their ChatGPT usage because honesty should not be penalised and such error is better dealt with by politely informing the offender of the rules.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;I deliberately make no comment here about it's success&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bot or part-bot.

Questions that are unfocused are often very difficult to answer and often an indication the actual problem the user is experiencing hasn’t been properly identified&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What if i post 10 post with same category questions and ask simple poitns in another 10 parts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should only ask 10 questions, if you can insure that those multiple questions, will be highly detailed independent questions. If you are referencing previous questions your question likely will NOT be well received.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And on above in super user forum why just we may get our questions closed and even banned to ask more question why such rules.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Question bans are a feature of Stack Exchange. Every community is independent in that regard. If your questions in one community are not well reviewed you should take the feedback you have received and improve them. Ask 10 questions, 15 minutes apart, is one way many users get themselves in trouble. It’s impossible to write 10 high quality independent questions, address the feedback on those questions, and constantly improve that amount of questions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a new user or member types the hard work and gives time to create new question and anxious to know answer may be he or she cant explain the way the expert can understand as experts are more experienced and old in forums and new users are just new borned novice users of stack exchange and experts should guide or edit themself or super users should have editors who should edit the questions to make more focused readabale and explainible to technical experts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have received a downvote to your contributions, it absolutely is not due to the fact, a user was “bored”.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know some experts feel it unnecessary because they think it’s not useful for their research but it can be useful for other experts.

It could be helpful to have the specific question at the beginning and the end. That is just good, clear writing. It isn't necessary, but it can be a good habit for making sure it is clear what you are asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second&lt;/strong&gt;, your question needs to have all of the information necessary for someone else to understand what you are asking. This means telling us precisely what happened prior to the error, the error messages, the details of the system you're working on (model, brand, version, publisher, year, patch version, etc). We only know what you tell us. Think of it like this: You're our eyes, ears, and hands, and you're coming to this site for some brains to make sense of everything your eyes and ears and hands are telling you, but the brain doesn't know anything except what the eyes, ears, and hands can tell it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third&lt;/strong&gt;, you need to &amp;quot;show your homework&amp;quot;.

This not me saying &amp;quot;RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!&amp;quot; It IS me saying &amp;quot;a question that shows some effort on the part of the one asking will be better received&amp;quot;. Also, showing your research and what you've tried means we know what NOT to suggest, so we won't be wasting our time telling you what you've already learned and tried.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On a point related to #3, telling us you found a solution but you don't like it, like you do when you say&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some findings while google but they told procedure how to do through windows commonds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That tells people who may have answers that you're not really willing to work hard for a solution, even if you don't intend to say that. You DID find a solution, but you don't want to try it. Windows commands are likely the only way to do what you want to do in that question. Commands (or, what you may actually mean, a &amp;quot;command line interface&amp;quot;) have been around a long time, and are still the only way to do many of the deep down changes even in very graphical OSes like Windows.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To summarize&lt;/strong&gt;, your questions need to be clear and specific, they need to have all of the information you can give that focuses on one specific question, and they need to clearly demonstrate what you have already learned and tried.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastActivityDate="2023-06-16T18:06:08.947" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

What is that exactly checking? IMO questions deleted as spam should be skipped there as that's not the purpose of the queue and you can't even flag there.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the choice for other queues isn't great either. I had cases of older questions appearing in e.g. &lt;code&gt;First questions&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;Close votes&lt;/code&gt; queues which didn't really meet current website standards. E.g. very obvious upvoted software recommendation request that I tried to flag and failed the audit. Questions like that not being moved causes problems in general (attracting more questions of the same type mostly), but at least it could not mess with audits. I'm wondering if the choice is automatic - looks like it is. It should be manual if there should be older questions as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On top of that, there are some absurd implementations discouraging you from using certain features:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;comments can be written on audits of deleted questions that are supposed to fail. So if you're new to the queues, you can write a lengthy comment just to get an &amp;quot;it's an audit&amp;quot; sort of error when submitting. The way around it is ofc to just type a short comment and submit, then edit in case it's real (or to open the question in new tab), but I think it should state it's an audit as soon as you start, not finish, typing.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1145698" LastEditorUserId="1145698" LastEditDate="2023-08-21T12:00:40.187" LastActivityDate="2023-09-21T08:01:10.130" Title="Why are review audits so bad and are there any plans to improve them?"

If the same information really answers both questions, then one question (usually the newer one) should be closed as a duplicate of the other. You can indicate this by [voting to close it as a duplicate](https://$SITEURL$/help/privileges/close-questions) or, if you don't have enough reputation for that, [raise a flag](https://$SITEURL$/help/privileges/flag-posts) to indicate that it's a duplicate. Otherwise tailor your answer to this question and don't just paste the same answer in multiple places.&#xA;&#xA;###[Q] Tags&#xA;Please read the tags **before** posting your question. You are asking an off-topic question. See [help/on-topic].&#xA;&#xA;###[Q] Legal or Licensing Question&#xA;I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because licensing advice is off-topic on $SITENAME$.

I have added &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/.bash*&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;.bash*&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the list and currently this entry covers only &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/.bash-profile&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bash-profile&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bash-profile&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-.bash-profile-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;.bash-profile&lt;/a&gt;. The fact &lt;code&gt;.bash*&lt;/code&gt; does not match &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/.bashrc&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bashrc&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bashrc&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-.bashrc-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;.bashrc&lt;/a&gt; makes me believe that only the &amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot; tags count. So if we make the tags with dots &amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot; then I will still need &lt;code&gt;bash*&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;.bash*&lt;/code&gt; (I know I can use &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/*bash*&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;*bash*&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but suppose I don't want &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/git-bash&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;git-bash&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;git-bash&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-git-bash-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;git-bash&lt;/a&gt; to match).

So &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt; we don't really need synonyms for these tags in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QL5v0.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QL5v0.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OTOH when one creates a question (or browses tags &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/tags&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) and types &lt;code&gt;bash-profile&lt;/code&gt;, the site suggests &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/.bash-profile&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bash-profile&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;.bash-profile&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-.bash-profile-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;.bash-profile&lt;/a&gt;; but e.g. for &lt;code&gt;.linux&lt;/code&gt; it does not suggest &lt;a href=&quot;https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/linux&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;linux&amp;#39;&quot; aria-label=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;linux&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot; aria-labelledby=&quot;tag-linux-tooltip-container&quot;&gt;linux&lt;/a&gt;.

But even if we decide the &amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot; tags should be both with dots, it will still be more consistent than the current situation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;How other sites do it&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.stackexchange.com&quot;&gt;Unix &amp;amp; Linux SE&lt;/a&gt; &lt;code&gt;bash-profile&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;bashrc&lt;/code&gt; are synonyms for &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;; &lt;code&gt;.bash-profile&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; do not exist. &lt;code&gt;.bash-logout&lt;/code&gt; is standalone (it's not a synonym for &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;) but &lt;code&gt;bash-logout&lt;/code&gt; does not exist.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://askubuntu.com&quot;&gt;Ask Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; has &lt;code&gt;bashrc&lt;/code&gt;, no &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt;. &lt;code&gt;.bash-history&lt;/code&gt; is a synonym for &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;, but there is no &lt;code&gt;bash-history&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com&quot;&gt;Stack Overflow&lt;/a&gt; &lt;code&gt;.bash-profile&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;.bashrc&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;bashrc&lt;/code&gt; are synonyms for &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;; &lt;code&gt;bash-profile&lt;/code&gt; does not exist though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems none of these sites has managed to create (or maintain) a fully consistent policy regarding these tags.

Otherwise, a lot of phrases and wording are what AI would never use - &amp;quot;1st&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;(= ...)&amp;quot;,  &amp;quot;have/want&amp;quot;, etc. There's also some doubt/uncertainty which AI very rarely shows.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any popular AI detectors gave this 0% rating, so no clue where the idea came from. These tools aren't perfect either ofc, but if they show no relation to AI at all, I don't know what's the point of trying to accuse someone. In that case AI usage is hidden so well that the idea is copied but the post is fully rewritten, which can't ever be proven.

It has even more syntaxes and wording that AIs wouldn't go for - unclosed (, &amp;quot;file/stream&amp;quot;, quoted frames, &amp;quot;(1)&amp;quot; type of refences in the middle of text, etc. The ratings are yet again 0.

IMO bad comments should be more punishable, but that's another topic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll just end this with a note that you don't just go to a store and accuse people of selling fakes with 0 analysis of the products.

If it is that old, nobody thinks that it might still be the same, during search. I was also astonished:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems unbelievable, but this is a known issue even seven years&#xA;later, I have also had a computer with this problem since a year, now&#xA;end of 2022, never took the time to fix it though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But it does not help the searchers who will check how old a question is, and perhaps also the search machines that might have algorithms for that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The older question was also not asked so well. It was in the remarks that it should be written clearer and needed to be edited. The asker was new on the Stack Exchange.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The older question also did not stress that it is mainly at startup. &amp;quot;Disk usage at 100% during startup&amp;quot; is clearer about that than &amp;quot;Disk usage is always at 100%&amp;quot; which is meant the same, since everytime you start the computer, it is at 100%, and for my computer, it sometimes did not even stop after hours if I ran it after a long time. Even if I have the same problem, since normally, after an hour, it is not laggy anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next time, I should check that a question fits best, not just quite a bit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And checking whether you should stick fully to the rules of finding duplicates is sometimes not the best way to go since for this question, there was not even an answer after 7 years, and from that, you can see that it was better to ask a new one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is why I flag the older answer now as a duplicate of the younger.

As we wave goodbye to last year and welcome the new one, we have &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/search?q=%22year+in+moderation%22+is%3Aquestion&quot;&gt;a tradition of sharing moderation stats for the preceding calendar year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As most of you here might be aware, sites on the Stack Exchange network are moderated somewhat differently to other sites on the web:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We designed the Stack Exchange network engine to be mostly self-regulating, in that we amortize the overall moderation cost of the system across thousands of teeny-tiny slices of effort contributed by regular, everyday users.&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;-- &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/&quot;&gt;A Theory of Moderation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That doesn't eliminate the need for having &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.blog/2018/11/21/our-theory-of-moderation-re-visited/&quot;&gt;moderators&lt;/a&gt; altogether, but it does mean that the bulk of moderation work is carried out by regular folks — folks like you. Every bit of time and effort y'all contribute to the site gives you access to more privileges you can use to help in this effort, all of which produce a cumulative effect that makes a big difference in ensuring Stack Exchange sites remain a valuable source of high-quality content on the web.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So as we say goodbye to 2023 (and January 2024… ahem) and move into 2024, let us look back at what we accomplished as a community... by looking at some &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/pmN7M.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;exciting&lt;/em&gt; stats&lt;/a&gt;.

suspend users under three circumstances: when a user is recreated after being previously suspended, when a user is recreated after being destroyed for spam or abuse, and when a network-wide suspension is in effect on an account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁴ A &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; user is deleted along with all that they had posted: questions, answers, comments. &lt;a

spam.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁵ This counts every review that was submitted (not skipped) - so the 2 suggested edits reviews needed to approve an edit would count as 2, the goal being to indicate the frequency of moderation actions. This also applies to flags, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁶ Includes close flags (but &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; close or reopen votes). The community² can handle these flags by at least one person voting to close a question that has a close flag.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁷ This ignores numerous deletions that happen automatically in response to some other action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;⁸ This includes comments deleted by their own authors (which also account for some number of handled comment flags).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Further reading:&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wanna see how these numbers have changed over time?

While a lot of duplicates currently resolve to this, I don't feel the question itself is a good duplicate target: with only 4k views, not many people are making it this far. Merging it will bring it's good answers over to the more popular (and better worded) question. Note that &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/51096/179041&quot;&gt;merged questions can auto-redirect&lt;/a&gt; to the canonical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When this is done, we can begin the task of cleaning up the current duplicates, reducing the chaining/duplicate-hopping by re-pointing duplicates directly to the canonical question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="107240" LastActivityDate="2024-02-09T02:49:16.070" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But the question was very shortly closed as opinion-based. While I disagreed I didn't think it was worth anyone's time disputing that, so I left it and moved on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However the question has accumulated a lot of views, despite it being closed the entire time, culminating in me getting notified that it had earned a Famous Question badge. I took this as evidence that the community is at least someone interested, and since I'm still interested and still don't see how it is classified as opinion-based, I edited it to try to be even more clear that I was seeking factual information and left a comment asking if it could be reopened.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead it was deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No comments were ever left suggesting what was considered to be wrong with the question that I could improve, either at the time of the original close or when it was deleted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm asking to review that decision and undelete &amp;amp; reopen the question, as I still think the original &amp;quot;opinion-based&amp;quot; closure is wrong. At it's heart this is an engineering question; there &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; an objective answer based on facts. If the only stack-exchange-sized answer is &amp;quot;the airflow depends on too many tiny factors for there to be simple guiding principles you can apply&amp;quot; then &lt;strong&gt;that's&lt;/strong&gt; the answer I'm looking for (with a bit of explanation about why that is the case, of course). And I think the Famous Question badge shows that other people are also interested in similar answers, so it would be helpful to have them in the site's knowledge base.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But if the consensus of the community is that it is not a good question for this site, I will accept that. I would just like some better explanation &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt; a question that looks to me to be firmly grounded in objective facts is considered too opinion-based, or why merely asking &lt;em&gt;once&lt;/em&gt; for a review of that is grounds to delete it without responding.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question has been undeleted, so I'm demoting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAxgw.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;screenshot&lt;/a&gt; of the post to a link, so it doesn't take up so much real estate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="384344" LastEditorUserId="384344" LastEditDate="2024-02-25T07:31:20.593" LastActivityDate="2024-02-27T16:52:03.300" Title="I genuinely don't understand why this question was deleted when I asked for it to be re-opened?"

(Of course, it might be possible to improve the definition of this term – that's not the point of the question.) In any case, the term “power user” is thus at least approximately defined in technical or administrative terms, and is thus measurable in general.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the contrary, the term “enthusiast” refers to someone who is &lt;em&gt;enthusiastic&lt;/em&gt; (“filled with enthusiasm” according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enthusiast&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enthusiast&lt;/a&gt;). This noun expresses how a person feels (rather than what he/she does, how he/she does this, or his/her formal roles), and is thus not well measurable (unless you're into poetry, prose, or any other kind of artistic means to express your feelings, or psychology, which this site is probably NOT about). Subjectively, though emotional stuff (say, xkcd jokes) is sometimes posted here, I consider feelings to be chatty and in general off-topic here on this site. Further, it is questionable whether the enthusiasm of a person is as persistent as his/her duties, tasks, or roles. To give an example of the volatility: in the morning, you might feel enthusiastic about writing a bash script, and in the evening, you're tired, and, colloquially, it just sucks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this meta question, we ask to either&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;replace the term “computer enthusiasts” by a more precise term that is better measurable given a user's textual content (question, answer, comment, or chat message) or&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;remove the phrase “computer enthusiasts” altogether.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, though you could simply take a better measurable related concept instead, such as “computer addict” (addiction, being an illness, is defined, characterized, and studied more precisely than enthusiasm), I believe that this community is capable of doing better on formulating the scope.

It is pretty common for a question to fail on several points, and I think this one does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please note that I will refer specifically to points in the question OP has memorialized in their &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAxgw.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;own screenshot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wanting an &amp;quot;objective explanation&amp;quot; doesn't mean there is one&lt;/strong&gt;, and a point that has been made in this discussion, ad nauseum, is that sometimes complexity has an irrevocable connection to there not being that sought for or expected objectivity. This specific situation approaches extreme levels of complexity if you dig deeply enough to find that &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;objective&lt;/em&gt; explanation&amp;quot;. This is, perhaps, the weakest argument, in my opinion, because there IS, at some depth, a firm answer, and sometimes it surprises me the way clarity and simplicity is arrived at and communicated by one or another member on this site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The post asks multiple questions&lt;/strong&gt;. This is clear on its face. The Title contains two questions, the body contains a few more as asides and tangents. &amp;quot;Will I benefit from...&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;how should I configure them?&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;would adding airflow from the top fans...&amp;quot;, and what I think is probably the core problem here &amp;quot;...I don't know how the various concerns should be weighed against one another...&amp;quot;. This is also a relatively weak reason, but a reason nonetheless.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The question is admittedly theoretical&lt;/strong&gt; and not practical. OP dismisses the question of whether they NEED more cooling as opinion based, but it isn't actually. &lt;em&gt;Whether a computer does or does not need more cooling can be known simply and by fact&lt;/em&gt;. OP asks the community to ignore that aspect, (see &amp;quot;regardless of whether I &amp;quot;need&amp;quot; more cooling&amp;quot;), and then asks us to focus on &amp;quot;principles&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The title's first question is a weak question&lt;/strong&gt; and solicits opinion: &amp;quot;Will I benefit from...&amp;quot; Maybe? Probably yes, but why? This sort of question comes up pretty regularly here on SU. &amp;quot;How...&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;What...&amp;quot; questions are more likely to have the concreteness that SU expects, while &amp;quot;Does...&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Will...&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Can I...&amp;quot; are often correctly and completely answered by &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;no&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;maybe&amp;quot; answers, and most people who ask those questions then find some frustration as they learn the question that was in their mind is NOT what they communicated in typing it out. Sometimes, these sorts of questions get that probing &amp;quot;why&amp;quot; in the comments, and DrMoishe Pippik served that question ably in the first comment, which gets to the heart of the problem here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The correct course is to challenge OPs assumptions&lt;/strong&gt; so that they can get to the real issue, or accept the clearest truth. While OP wanted us to ignore whether or not their computer needed more cooling, the question of how to cool a computer is directly linked to whether their computer is sufficiently cooled or not. The very first comment, given just an hour and a minute after the question is posted, gives this challenge: &amp;quot;If your PC is not overheating, why do you need another fan?&amp;quot;. In their reply OP doubled down on the theoretical nature of this question, reiterating they want answers that &amp;quot;...will help me understand how to make similar choices in (the) future&amp;quot;. OP had 5 years to improve their question, focus on practical issues, etc. At this point this question is very likely moot as it is VERY likely that OP's computer hardware has changed and so the root details of the question have as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While this site only shows one specific close reason, there are ample reasons for this question to have been closed, and for it still to remain closed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="74026" LastEditorUserId="74026" LastEditDate="2024-02-27T16:52:03.300" LastActivityDate="2024-02-27T16:52:03.300" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Any ads a sponsor submits still have go through our crazy-strict ad editorial process… as it has always been. Companies do not have access to personal data, and all Q&amp;amp;A content remains irrevocably licensed under Creative Commons for sharing and attribution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sponsorships are a tool that our clients can use to let folks who would be interested in their products know about them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What if I think I've found a design glitch/bug?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If something looks off, please report it as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://meta.superuser.com/questions/tagged/bug&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'bug'&quot;&gt;bug&lt;/a&gt; so we can investigate and squash it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's it!
