@Rob Not sure about Freelancing.SE, but I know that on CGCC.SE, our mods sometimes edit known spam accounts to include "spam" in either the username or the "About Me", as some form of reminder/indicator
when a bug report turns out to be according to a comment is not limited to SE but the browser, and the post has been answered, what is the correct thing to do? flag it for deletion and just leave it as is?
Not sure I understand lol, but sounds like you got a phone from work and can't use it to check work emails?
@JourneymanGeek IMO it's one big lie. Hackers brought Facebook down, and in 6-8 months/years someone will find out how much information they stole during this. Facebook is obviously not stupid enough to admit such a thing, and the hackers do it for money, not fame, so no reason for them to publish it either. Again, my opinion only!
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 One was for a project, that had to be answered 24/7, so instead of putting a second sim in something I opted to carry a second (very old) phone, that could only do calling and texting.
@Catija The changes you made to that help center article are great, and it pretty sufficiently describes what's on-topic and not. Thanks for proposing those changes, they look good to me! (cc @SonictheAnonymousHedgehog as I'd appreciate your input as well, given that the wording is adapted from yours)
@Catija In reference to grouping multiple sites as a single site, then closing for the 'single site reason', there is this example: meta.stackexchange.com/q/360523/282094 and meta.stackexchange.com/questions/359630/… - there are a very small number of exceptions, which the suggested usage text omits. --- The "Privileged User Guidance" is certainly clearer about this, but could be improved.
How, without making it too wordy, I dunno - but we discussed this a month or so ago here in The Tavern.
Both of those specific examples are about dark mode and I do think there's a plan eventually to make it network-wide, so I don't necessarily want to special case that.
It's not really about "too wordy" - there's a character limit. This sort of guidance just doesn't cover everything. You can't expect it to. That's why the help center exists.
@Catija Understood, just that the reasons shouldn't be (seem to be) absolute, otherwise there'll be one group of reviewers voting "Leave Open, multi-site" and another set of users voting "Close - single-site" (when there's clearly more than "one" site) - the "Review History" will read alternating Open and Close, and after several votes it will be (partially) resolved, with a lingering "Close(2)" message under the question, encouraging another round (and no "Don't Close" link). ---
Leading to an argument in the comments, and possibly a ReOpen.
@Rob Perhaps the usage guidance on the dark-mode could be expanded to cover that questions regarding that topic are off-topic here on MSE. I don't think we should go into exceptions on the help centre.
@Catija Thanks for the help center update. It'd be nice if you updated my request asking for that update. (It's not fully complete yet because it also asks for a sidebar update.)
One thing that can be improved about it is that it doesn't really explain what a "child meta" is and how to get there - many people ask their site-specific meta question here because they arrived here from Google after searching for their meta issue or "meta".
