Q: Does commercial (bagged) soil eventually expire/die?

Robert CartainoI have several piles of commercial, bagged top soil and potting mix that have been lying in my garage for at least 10 years. I'm doing some renovations and can really use some extra soil for some new garden beds and filling some pots. Is there such a thing as this soil being past its prime? I...

Yay, Robert has a question!

@ProgramFOX Are you trustworthy enough for me to grant you access to the DevDoodle source?
 
@bjb568 ... what kind of a question is that?
 
@bjb568 he seems like a honest hard worker to me
 
@hichris123 A questiony question.
 
@hichris123 an interview question
 
@AstroCB Gawn.
@ProgramFOX Granted access to DevDoodle repo. You better not be stealing my hash thingamadongers.
And DB password.
I'm pretty sure that my DB isn't accessible from the open internet tho. (checks)
 
@bjb568 Yup. Good and secure probably (i.e. I don't know how to find the flaw).

A: Why isn't this "I agree" comment too chatty?

JoeI agree with bjb, and have similarly flagged "+1" and such comment that was declined, which surprised me. I know that our comments are chattier than other sites, and that's fine within reason; but I don't believe our comments should be this level of chattiness. If you agree then you should push...

@JanDvorak not a spam, but blatantly off-topic
 
@DroidDev it is spam, or at least a question specifically made to host spam

@SilentKiller me too :P
 
from the time when it was called hutch
 
tooooooooooooooooooo many spams from Drupal
 
@DroidDev there are two closevotes, but why close?
 
6:59 AM
@SmokeDetector down
 
@JanDvorak because it is not related to programming and hence not qualified for SO
 
@DroidDev but... it's spam
 
at 12. :O and still there.. very heavy question to delete. ;P
 
@SilentKiller not spam
 
@JanDvorak and that's why I said, "Y SOMEONE NO CLOSE IT?"

SPAM http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26293250/suggest-me-best-institute-for-digita‌​l-marketing-classes-in-pune-city
 
@Vogel612 it is spam
 
no link, neither in question nor in profile..
 
@Vogel612 it will lead to advertisement or marketing of institutes
 
ejjactly
 
7:01 AM
but that makes it off-topic /rec or /blatant
 
I flagged for ot-blatant
 
just because it makes spam, it doesn't mean it is spam
 
i did cv and dv both
 
if it specifically asks for spam answers, it is spam.
 
YMMV...
 
7:02 AM
@Vogel612 please flag it as spam...
 
done done. but still there...
 
that's irritating now, why still there :/
 
may be mods are busy
 
or it's just not spam #justsaying
 
@Vogel612 It is
 
7:05 AM
it's down now...
 
fy
nuked by a mod
 
@JanDvorak It may be a placeholder for future spam(which was not the case here), so I think it was just blatantly off topic and not a spam
 
the spam flags were validated
 
and so was my ot flag
 
7:07 AM
@DroidDev so, if I pay someone to kill a man, am I not a murderer?
 
@JanDvorak but how are you so sure that this was the case you are saying?
 
@DroidDev sure, someone actually genuinely wants to know the best learning institute in Pune, a city plenty of spam advertises learning institutes in already, and thinks that Stack Overflow is the best place to ask... no.
 
@JanDvorak well, then why there was not an immediate follow-up by a spam answer. Question was there for quite a time.
 
@DroidDev low-rep can only self-answer after 2 days.
 
@Vogel612 not true
Most likely they just messed up markup and got a link stripped out.

guys its nuked now... hang up. :P
 
meh...

maybe they just wanted to wait a little longer?

because of this. ;)
 
exactly, the wording AND the link of-course
 
and the fact that drupal is not fitness...
 
SO is also not site suggesting about training institutes, but the question didn't contain any kind of spamming material and hence I didn't interpreted it as a spam, but as blatantly ot
 
7:23 AM
@Vogel612 so... would you let this pass on fitness.se?
 
@JanDvorak I would read more to make sure it's really spam...
@DroidDev that...
 
it is spam...
 
but, you are saying this based on assumptions of things that never happened to that post
 
▲ that..

... so?
 
"assume good faith unless there's evidence to point agianst it"
 
I second that ^
 
@Vogel612 that's inefficient. Should I let spam pass, or monitor the question until the end of time?
 
@JanDvorak if you vtc it, it's effectively dead if it's spam either way
let it get roomba'd
 
@Vogel612 it can still be edited
 
7:29 AM
@JanDvorak there were other appropriate options for that particular questions then flagging it as spam or I should say, more appropriate
 
Could a mod storm in, please?
 
as an aside... will something like this question with multiple -4 answers and a -4 score get roomba'd?
(not a single positive score answer)....
 
roomba'd...?
goes to join internet slag tution
@Vogel612 that's a record, I think...

7:32 AM
oh!
 
see, @DroidDev, @Vogel612? Pune.
 
@JanDvorak so every question containing word "Pune" should be interpreted as spam?
earlier this packer-and-movers spam contained "Delhi"
 
@DroidDev I believe so, yes
Delhi might get some legitimate questions, though that's unlikely as well
 
so it's Indian city names all the way??
 
7:37 AM
there are three legitimate questions on travel.se about Pune. Not three per month, not three per year. Three. stackexchange.com/search?q=pune
And one job listing.
 
@Vogel612 yes, the one thing because of which I am just so eager to take revenge against those people
 
There are quite a few more travel.se questions about Delhi
and one on history.se
and this: stackoverflow.com/questions/26241324/… (which I've downvoted)
still, that's like, one legit question every three days or so?
and a crap-ton of spam
 
but then again, you read them to be sure that they weren't spam and you didn't flagged them as spam, because they didn't have any spamming material.
 
the SO question, on the other hand, was spam
 
which onw??
 
7:48 AM
the one about training institute in Pune, which never contained any spamming material
 
the one I wanted you to flag as such

I did
 
I just voted to close and voted it down. Most of the answers are link-only (which attracted me towards the thread on the first place) But I didn't flag any.
 
I only flagged as POB, do I need to "Other"-flag it for historical lock?

You can if you want, I didn't.
