Could someone explain how the hell only one person (animuson in this case) can close a question, and removing an active bounty along with it. stackoverflow.com/q/14212287/1647538 That is clear question.

I honestly see many good question being call 'too broad' without a clear reason for doing so.

I find it even more problematic that the too broad call could actually be part of the answer itself.

I just encountered this question, which is very cute and funny and has nothing to do with programming. I tried voting to close, but was informed by the system that I can't do that when there's a bounty on the question. So, since there's a seven-day bounty, this will remain open for at least a w...

Q: Very broad question but with a bounty, what to do?

This question seems (to me) massively overly broad Dynamic UserControls within ASP.NET Wizard. But I can't close it as it's got a bounty. What should be done? Does the offering of the bounty allow for the broadness? Is it worth moderator flagging as I can't close it?

Well I addressed it in comments.

user163250

Oh.

user163250

5:39 AM

It didn't start out as a recommendation question.

user163250

Your edit didn't actually fix the problem.

user163250

It kind of just made it worse.

I believe animuson removed my pisssed of comment too. That or i didn't hit send. But you can see how closing the question seems the wrong call here right?

user163250

I could see the question useful as a wiki, so people could edit the answers as time goes by.

Bry

Existence of something such a table here is not broad, it's a very direct question.

user163250

@VotetoClose that would imply that it might be too broad, but I don't spend any time on CSS stuff on SO, so I don't know what's usually considered off-topic for that tag.

user163250

@Bry if it's asking for an off-site resource, then it's off-topic. Someone might have been able to save it by making it clear that you don't want an off-site resource....

user163250

...but like I said, I don't spend any time in the CSS tag, so I don't know what's normally considered off-topic for it.

Bry

Well that is why I called animuson on it. Possible ignorance or lack of in-depth knowledge of the subject at hand, can be the cause for wrong action on closing a topic. But that doesn't mean there isn't a clear answer.

user163250

An at reply.

user163250

@Alex It's on hold, for being supposedly too broad... I suppose unor's change to the title improved the question, but also made it too broad and somewhat deviating from the original question you placed a bounty on. I have re-edited it to try and address animuson's concerns. — hexalys Jul 20 at 7:39

I see.

I wish the admin was pinged, on edits of their closing or question held? How do they know ?

user163250

Hmm? What do you mean?

Bry

Well animuson put the question on hold, is he made aware of changes which could possible address the problem. Like my question edit afterwards.

possibly*

Or do i have to find the admin here and make my case?

user163250

No, editors don't get notifications on further revisions, though if they happen to star the question, they'll see updates in their favorties list.

user163250

@Bry are you trying to make a case that the question shouldn't be closed?

Bry

5:56 AM

pretty much, I believe my answer actually cover the broad aspect while answering the question.

Word of advice though:

@ShadowWizard don't worry - I will just use the "ear worm destroyer v1.5" again.

Nyan nyan dance. Only problem: usually it can become an earworm "worster" than the original one

meanwhile, @Bart is back in starboard and my linux system is randomly crashing various applications that I am running

@DroidDev Linux is gettting more and more compatible with Windows...

DroidDev

@rene never go with latest version of linux, it will always have bugs. NEVER

rene

@DroidDev I have a stable debian server box. I don't use any linux as desktop.

DroidDev

@rene I use linux at office. It's good for development (as everybody knows). Using server box creates other problems. One of my colleague used to have it and he used to band his head with monitor every 30 minutes

rene

The server is stable as long as I don't touch it (either physically or by logging in).

Braiam

@DroidDev that guy is awesome! He can band his head with a monitor! I've never seen anyone that could do it

@DroidDev my desk & monitor are both rubber made. Working on SharePoint, you get used to...

DroidDev

@rene I think some versions of linux are specifically made to torture developers

@Braiam you should see an android developer working. They can do lot of things. Sometimes, same code behaves differently in different applications.

@SPArchaeologist I know that feel bro

@DroidDev is it worrisome that my css file starts with "<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/css"%>"?

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist you shouldn't be worried until fire alarm goes off

Bart

@DroidDev I'm sure those are somehow related to each other

DroidDev

1:29 PM

@Bart may be you've found a way to hack my pc through starboard and randomly close applications :P

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Don't know... it goes on like this

background: url("<asp:Literal runat='server' Text='<%$SPUrl:~SiteCollection/.....%>'/>");

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist In android, layouts are drawn in xml files

and first line is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

funny thing is, app will run normally even if you remove this line

then there are schemas

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

again, remove them and nothing happens to app

I don't know why these scary things are always there

SPArchaeologist

Actually, I am following mastykarz advice for "compiling" css files so that you can use spurl inside them.

DroidDev

1:45 PM

and I am still wondering why my IDE is crashing every 15 to 30 minutes

@SPArchaeologist Why not background: url("<%=BuildUrl("unique id here")%>"); then build the mapping in code behind? Or even better yet, have a Repeater and do it all in code behind?
