according to Shog that's an answer... just a very bad one

Final Contest

it is a link to the documentation without any explanation why to check out, how to use it, why it is any relevant, etc.

Braiam

@FinalContest sadly it's an answer...

Final Contest

moreover, such posts are 100% removed by the community, even in that thread, such a post was already removed.

3ventic

Flags are for invalid content, not bad content, even if they often overlap

Final Contest

If that is the quality level of SO, I better leave it.

I am quite shocked to read that link-only answer is an answer.

3ventic

00:03

I left long ago heh

Final Contest

but I guess I have to accept that others want things on SO that is utterly crap in my values.

anyway, I do not think the community agree with the moderator abuse.

there were flags by others as well as comments. It was on its high-way towards the removal. Every sign was removed by the said moderator.

Why on earth? It is a valid opinion to think it is a link-only answer.

this is not offensive, this is not non-constructive, this is not spam.

3ventic

If the answer ended up being removed, does it really matter what happened with the comments on it?

> Just remember: if the text of the post contains an honest attempt at answering the question, then it is an answer - so don't flag it otherwise, and if you do, don't complain if your flag gets declined.

> Does that mean these answers should forever hang around the site? No, not necessarily - if it turns out they're just not that useful, they should probably still be removed - or at very least, down-voted so that they rank below other answers.

@Final ^

Final Contest

@3ventic: yes, it does.

@hichris123: you are completely missing the point.

this is a link-only and crappy answer.

the community burns these in the worst hell

hichris123

00:18

^ Is that link only?

Final Contest

a moderator stepped in with his own power on a self-post.

hichris123

@FinalContest And how do you know that?

Braiam

@hichris123 no, just a low quality answer

hichris123

It may have been another mod.

Final Contest

heck, there is a low-quality flag reason for a reason.

if it is not for damn low-quality posts, then I do not understand what it is for, nor does the voting and commenting community on that post, apparently.

Braiam

00:19

BTW, ti also looks like a comment

Final Contest

this is exactly the flaw with Stack Overflow

some people handle moderators as gods

based on subjective personal stuff rather than seeing their contribution objectively.

with this world, they have omnipotence, because they can do whatever they want, not whatever is good.

Braiam

to be objective, you have to stop being human and even so the humans will oppose you

Final Contest

but even if a moderator disagrees with the community, it is not ethical to override the community on an own post.

just because you have the power.

hichris123

Again: how do you know that the person who posted the answer was the person who declined the flag?

Final Contest

are you dense?

that was literally deleted with a couple of seconds difference between self-deletion and flag decline (and comment removal), and couple of seconds means < 10.

hichris123

00:31

?

Journeyman Geek

@FinalContest: you don't generally get suspended for meta posts. Calling someone dense though...

Also, we do have a community edit function - fixing a LQ answer is an option if it really bothers you

I've done it a few times, and I've had people edit in useful bits into my answer in the past.

Final Contest

ah, another moderator praiser for super crap posts.

ɥʇǝS

What are we whining about now gents?

Journeyman Geek

@FinalContest: I'm suggesting an actual solution.

Final Contest

please stop that the whining accusation crap

Journeyman Geek

Final Contest

it is quite disrespectful to say about a valid concern.

Journeyman Geek

*disrespectful

@ɥʇǝS: !!!

@FinalContest: cause you clearly need better hobbies.

Final Contest

I will just move on.

ɥʇǝS

Good.

Final Contest

you are ignored, sorry.

It is QUITE SHOCKING to see that moderators are praised for whatever they do, and their actions are not measured on objective grounds.

Journeyman Geek

00:37

@FinalContest: What can be done about that?

You clearly have issues - what do you see as being a way to handle mod abuse?

ɥʇǝS

Who is praising moderators here?

Final Contest

everyone

Journeyman Geek

I was merely very directly referencing a statement you made

Final Contest

"You should not flag a low-quality post with low-quality flag because it is done by a moderator".

ɥʇǝS

@FinalContest Who said that?

Final Contest

00:39

everyone

ɥʇǝS

I've never met this everyone.

hichris123

@FinalContest That's not true at all... the flag was declined because it isn't link only!

Final Contest

First of all, you make it extremely hard to type your name; thanks for such a nick name.

secondly, low-quality flag is for such low-quality posts. There is nothing to debate about it.

it really does not matter whether it is done by our super-moderator, me, Jon Skeet, or mother gaia.

OK?!

hichris123

2 mins ago, by hichris123

@FinalContest That's not true at all... the flag was declined because it isn't link only!

It has nothing to do with being a moderator.

ɥʇǝS

I told you before, +h. Just as easy as @Seth. You said you were too lazy to type it out.

@FinalContest Oh so you used a VLQ flag?

Final Contest

SIGH

no, I wrote custom reason that the moderator is a kidnapper

and I am wondering why it is declined...

Journeyman Geek

@ɥʇǝS @ht actually.

random

00:44

Oh, you want news about a kidnapping?

ɥʇǝS

@FinalContest Oh, I'm not surprised it was declined then.

Final Contest

imgur.com/rOR4DrQ

heck, yes, yes, yes, OBVIOUSLY FFS.

ɥʇǝS

I will first start by pointing out that moderators, as general policy, do not handle flags on their own posts.

Final Contest

again, it honestly does not matter who handled it.

it was self-decline 99.99%, but that is not the point.

random

> HOW IS THIS IN NO WAY KIDNAPPING ???? I WANT THESE PEOPLE IN JAIL!!! I DONT THINK ANY OF THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WEDDING VOWS REALLY MEAN

Final Contest

00:46

the point is that a super crap post by a moderator is ok as per flag decline

ɥʇǝS

Now, let's get gritty.

The definition of a VLQ flag is:

> This question has severe formatting or content problems. This question is unlikely to be salvageable through editing, and might need to be removed.

hichris123

> the flag was declined because it isn't link only!

Final Contest

and no typing @Seth is not OK

ɥʇǝS

Severe formatting? Nope. Nicely formatted link.

Final Contest

clearly, you have never even tried it.

@hichris123: again, are you dense?

there is NO link-only flag reason.

ɥʇǝS

00:48

Severe content problems? Nope. A correct link that answers the question. Would still be an answer even without the link.

@FinalContest If you read Shog's post, which you obviously didn't, it says to use NAA for link only answers.

However, it wasn't link only by his definition anyway.

Let's continue.

hichris123

> Yes, they're both very short, and yes, they contain links. But strip the markup, and you still get at least a little bit of useful information.

Final Contest

ok, keep posting SUCH CRAP

hichris123

> Just remember: if the text of the post contains an honest attempt at answering the question, then it is an answer - so don't flag it otherwise, and if you do, don't complain if your flag gets declined

Final Contest

but please leave me alone

we obviously have different quality values for Stack Overflow posts.

ɥʇǝS

Unlikely to be salvageable by editing? Nope. Anyone could nicely edit in an example.

Final Contest

00:49

that answer is fully qualified for you, "good", sigh....

ɥʇǝS

"good"? No. "ok"? Yes.

Final Contest

it is nothing else than an OVERLY CRAP THAT SHOULD BE BURNT IN THE HELL for me and many.

That is why Stack Overflow is so crappy what it is

and that is why shitload of valuable contributors leave

but oopsie, that does not matter. Some not-so-valuable contibutors think ok, so the site is going into the right direction.

ɥʇǝS

@FinalContest If you don't want to constructively discuss the issue, why do you bring it up in a chat room for discussion?

Final Contest

I will keep flagging such posts from now on as OTHER: MERE CRAP

hichris123

@FinalContest And guess what? That's going to a) get you flag banned, and b) mod messaged.

Final Contest

00:52

oh yes, opinions are ban-worthy on Stack Overflow. SIGH.

random

Why is it mere crap? Why is it not just kat? What is the threshold for mere?

hichris123

@FinalContest Not banned, mod messaged/flag banned.

ɥʇǝS

@FinalContest Yep, using the site wrong is a sure fire way of getting yourself talked to.

Final Contest

ok, I am ignoring you for now. I do not want to waste time with name games, whether "ban" in this context means "flag ban" or not.

random

With all the sighing, you are setting yourself up for hyperventilation

When it comes to meta, it is mostly mods doing whatever they want at times without doing what the community wants and many people following them blindly. They forget about that the community is their boss who elected them and they are responsible to them with their actions.

Q: Confusion about how many votes are needed to undelete a post

I went to this question (deleted, so 10K+ only) and pressed the "undelete" link. As you can see in the following screenshots, there are discrepancies in what it tells me about how many votes are needed to undelete the post. First, it says 1 more vote is needed. Then it says there are 22 votes...
