Tavern on the Meta

@Louis Umm... what are you talking about? You see, I'm perfect and I would never make a typo. :D

@LaszloPapp The point is that the benefits to adding a special case just for SO are... not very much

@Doorknob: huh?

@LaszloPapp Special-casing just for one specific reason on one specific site is pointless if it's not going to make much of a difference anyway.

there are many questions closed as typo (hence the close reason in the first place), and they are all needlessly in-limbo state for 2 days usually, and then people can start casting again with the same end goal. It seems completel superfluous.

it will make a huge difference

the overhead of micro-managing the same thing twice at least by 3-5 people for many posts is needlessly unreasonable.

By that logic, all other close reasons should insta-delete too because they "are all needlessly in-limbo state for 2 days usually."

8:50 PM

I always laugh at these "special casing" artificial concerns when it is pretty much one if statement with already existing function called then.

... do you even program?

... okay, that's clearly not how closing questions on SE works. Be realistic.

It's never one if statement.

And with that, I leave. Cya!

no, other statuses are explicitly not auto-deletable.

@LaszloPapp wow, that's... such bullshit

Closing is probably the single best example of the problems caused by small incremental increases in complexity

8:51 PM

that is the whole point, a typo cannot possibly come back.

It started out so very, very simple...

A state that any trusted user could apply or remove from a question

Shog9: you are on ignore fwiw.

@LaszloPapp ... so you saw that message how?

@Shog9 That's... a more, umm, direct way of stating the fact

@Doorknob I've spent entirely too much time over the past couple of years trying to deal with the insane amounts of complexity associated with closing. If @Laszlo wants to criticize a system he clearly has no understanding of nor interest in learning about, he can go somewhere else to do it.

@Shog9 Uh, yeah, sounds... painful -_- is glad that he does not have to manage hundreds of thousands of users' complaints and feedback

@mmyers I learn something every day, but in my mind's ear "canidates" still sounds like it is somehow related to canidae.

@ChrisF - I don't really notice too much until someone says something flag worthy and I notice my tools aren't there, and then I look at my computer confused for a few seconds

@Shog9 I did not see my comments as off topics because topic was designed to what is going on with down-votes and how to handle those especially when answer or a question as a matter of fact is not warranted down-votes.

If you are using Internet Explorer - any version - don't.

@AllBlond I suspect we may have been talking past each other. It sounded to me like your concern was voting rather than commenting, specifically voting on identical answers.

All Blond

@Shog9 That was my concern because there was obviouse somekind of agreement exist between groups to support each other while suppressing anybody outside of that group.

@Shog9 I seen posted answers, good one by the way, got flagged or just disappearing because author decided, or someone for them, that it is not worth of loosing reputation to keep it there while answer identical remains and gains reputations.

Sorry I am at work, gotta go. Nice chatting even do it just a chat and will not do any good in long run.

@AllBlond this does happen. The SO mods and I cleaned up probably a dozen or more accounts this morning that were engaged in this sort of behavior. It is considered fraud, and is grounds for account deletion when detected.

@AllBlond Stop in any time; if I'm not here, bug @Undo - he's always here for some reason
