Good morning friends. Can anybody suggest me a way to search questions that have been posted in a fixed timeframe say questions that have been posted this month?
Now I can understand why begging for downvote reasons can be bad overall. I see some people when they actually get those reasons for the begging, they start long and unproductive discussions rather than just improving their post. That is unfortunate.
Hi, Came across this answer posted by user id "Alexandar' while reviewing another VLQ answer for the same question. The code formatting wasn't initially done for this answer, so I edited it. After editing, this answer seems exactly similar to chapagain's answer posted more than a year after the original one. Does this qualify as copying/plagiarism? Should it be flagged?
@Harry: yes. Flag the answer with a custom reason, and explain that it's a copy/paste of a much older answer with no additional info. (And add a link to the other answer in the flag.)
Can moderators delete a question which has an answer (or) in other words is such a request even valid? In this question OP had updated the question contents asking for a mod to delete it. Since it looked odd, I rolled back the edit and added a comment. Please have a look.
Mods can delete anything. Your edit+comment is the right thing to do in that case. (Mods are unlikely to delete an answered question that's not off-topic, especially when the answer has a positive score.)
possible feature-request Release the data dumps in a format that is more widely supported, like .bz2, instead of .7z/LZMA. It would make it easier to programmatically handle the data dump data. 7Z also isn't very seekable. If a seekable format was used, it would be possible to (very coarsely) only download sections of the dump at once. For example, to only look at posts that have been added since the previous dump.
