I'm being selfless? And I've gotten more downvotes recently than upvotes and I'm featuring something new tomorrow so it's only a difference of a few hours?
@SonictheAnonymousWizHog ok, its a feature that more or less might or might not have been asked for, may or may not excite people, and may or may not involve one or more communities.
@SonictheAnonymousWizHog how is it related? Of course he won't get any notification, he didn't edit the post. And IMO better use sandbox for such tests, not hijack other people posts, especially not staff members who have way too much notifications to begin with.
SE can be motivated to do it much faster in just two easy steps: (1) Come up with an argument that the lack of comment locks is somehow unwelcoming to new users. (2) Complain about it on Twitter.
We've had another instance in which Stack Overflow (the company) has an employee or CM responding to what would normally be a Meta issue on social media.
I'm not going to get into specifics about what those issues are, nor does it actually matter; the main issue is that this isn't the first time...
comment moderation is 100% opaque. And since we don't get any dev time to spend on this, this is the next step to increasing transparency. Which is one of the main critique points raised in the recent MSO thread about tightening comment moderation
@Mithrandir But that's mainly because the people that keep an eye on that want the comments gone. I can see it going bad if people are going to use it to keep an eye on what's deleted and then argue they shouldn't be ;)
But you don't know till you try, so go Magisch! :)
@JourneymanGeek You can have nice things if you handle them responsibly. If people won't, well... take away their toy. But I feel it at least deserves a chance. To the point where I would only say 'okay, stop' if it's repeatedly proven itself to be more of a hassle than an asset.
On the other hand, I am reminded of how annoying it is that there are three different chat domains... it makes keeping on top of things, especially from mobile, quite annoying.
@probably_someone: Yawn. In which direction am I being accused of bias this time? If you see comments that should be deleted, please flag them. If you have a serious concern about mods, please put it in a meta-question or contact the Stack Exchange staff. But if you are just baselessly sniping because you don't like tribe members having their comments deleted, please don't. — Oddthinking ♦19 hours ago
@Cerbrus The fact that this isn't a duplicate might have led me to believe it wasn't recently questioned. And who's "we"? I didn't know. I didn't even realize until recently that meta was used for all of these things. I always thought meta was used to discuss Stack Overflow and to get rid of tags. — David Cullen25 mins ago
This is all but a side effect of meta drifting from its main mission, unfortunately.
Comments are not for extended discussion; this conversation has been moved to chat.
In case you were wondering, the irony of that was not lost on me.

2) This idea doesn't seem very fleshed out. Just stricter moderation, or should some posts get extra attention, or something else?
3) Sometimes, especially Metatimes, you need to really get your hand dirty to even get close to having discussed something. Disinfectants and gloves don't always help.
Need to lurk on MSO more often - that's where all the action is! I would almost have missed the newest Twitter Driven Development: Editing code (!) to make it gender-neutral.
I wonder if and how this will affect the SE network.
@AnneDaunted You can cling on to your hope, as I have to mine, but it's infinitely more fun to think about Tink's crochets, Journey's dogs, and @Sha's Israeli cakes
than to keep having that trust and newfound hope challenged again and again by what might or might not be yet another instance of miscommunication
It might replace itself with chat or whatever. But if meta folks don't get to spill some thoughts here and then, then the only possible working moderation model would be done with automated scripts
@Marshmallow if SE isn't paying attention to meta then the meta is dead, because it has no validity or use. It exists for posterity only. IMO it should be made read only
It's useless for the users to rant among themselves where they'll never be official response. (Because the only people capable of such response are too afraid to post it.)
They were very active participants in any philosophical discussion they could get their hands on, but the 'relentless negativity' of meta recently hasn't seen too many posts from them.
@JourneymanGeek SU is much bigger than IPS and see what happened to them. It's not about the stack in any way, it's about the complaint on Twitter. That's what matters.
But if someone complained about seeing that on the #superuser sidebar, they'd probably end up getting pointed at the wrong place and we'd never hear about it
If things work here, and people start wondering what we did better then we can try to get the same sort of things - a more positive outlook, and bridgebuilding with the people who run the company
But a lot of the time that has to start with strife and calmer heads winning
Can i know what happened and where to fix it and how much does it usually cost and i hope it cost RM 500 and below
Student price 😭😭
