It depends. What I meant was simply, if the policy changes today, the mods are not going to go through and change or delete every question right away
And some will still slip through. I do agree when they come up again we do remove them. And we have tried with the new SE sites to silently remove the older questions over a period of time
@Hello71 Yeah, you can reply to others. But you need to type the message behind the number, I don't know if this is by design or a bug.
@Diago Won't be on the site much the next three weeks due to exams, so I have only the last week free (which I will use for reputation grinding to try to get the monitor).
I wonder what other people have done to become more efficient in everyday computer tasks.
