The recently suspended hi-rep user was #7 in Meta.SO participation although I haven't seen him writing that much. Must have been the votes? BTW @InfiniteSnowflakes is currently #1.
"Can you point at a blog entry which plausibly is from a different person?" I can't. And to be honest I'm in personal contact with lazslo. I can understand much of his frustration about this ban, and I also can reenact much of his frustration and acting (may be came out unproffessionally) when closing and deleting crappy questions (Thats one of my point's why I'm concerned so much). — πάντα ῥεῖ9 hours ago
@Bart Someone needs to share this golden advice with those MSO users, even though it was posted w.r.t another user, it applies to the current case as well.
I'd say that the information currently provided is sufficient @InfiniteSnowflakes. There isn't really anything we could do with more information anyway except fuel a fire for a longer period of time. I like the current approach of "this is between us, and you can always come back". And of course the author can release all information anyway should he wish to do so.
And everyone can you check out this question by me and reopen it I really need an answer. Please. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/246425/… Please. I'm begging you. Please.
I've certainly had occasion to talk about the details of such things publicly before. For instance, when someone gets suspended and then goes to meta to misrepresent what happened and try to stir up trouble.
But for the record - because he's stating this stuff publicly - I and several other members of the community team have invested a considerable amount of time and effort into investigating these reports of voting fraud, taken action where it was warranted, and responded honestly when there was no evidence. We're quite frankly sick of him crying wolf and refusing to believe any words that are not coming from inside his own head.
@Sompuperoo Really? Well, I won't judge until I've looked at a few of the CV suggestions. SO generally doesn't lack questions that need closing though....
@Unihedro I see. Well, I guess if people feel like cleaning up bad questions, the CV queue is big enough....

Given that broom sticks do not normally have transponders, so will mostly not show up on air traphic control, I assume that is a no fly zone to protect the game.
How big is this zone, and what regulations define its size?
In Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, Firenze and Harry have a conversation whilst he brings him back to Hagrid after saving him. Firenze says that slaying a unicorn is a monstrous thing and that only one who has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, would commit such a crime.
If it is ...
@nicael Thanks for the bounty! ....now I can edit other people's stuff, which tbh is a little scary....not quite sure I was ready for that on MSE. IAE, thanks! :)
For reference, here are 30 recent questions to see how this applies:
How do I heal the red skin I got from wearing ballerina shoes?
How to get rid of the 'farmyard' smell from a goose down pillow?
Prevent Smelly Sponges
How to adjust for water temperature with separate, disjoint water taps?

He cheated by posting lots of stuff that was actually useful and informative. It's taken me years of posting painfully verbose blather to even get this close.
@InfiniteSnowflakes Those users assume the system needs constant input so they use wahtever textarea is available to enter their instant demands without wondering why all kind of stuff is disabled in a dialog.....
@bjb568 so, your question is very broad. That may be what you want, but it's almost impossible to keep folks from writing top-of-their-head responses, since... Well, pretty much anyone will have something that's relevant. Even if they don't have kids. Or know anything about programming, or education.
Adding a notice or ending paragraph to the effect of "please don't answer this even though you can unless you can answer it in a way that's really good" isn't likely to have much effect; folks are already writing their answers in their heads by the time they read it.
Oh, and a short piece of advice from my own journey: buy a good college textbook and work through it--do every problem in the exercise sections. I learned Java by going through Liang's Introduction to Java Programming (complete edition). Don't learn only from online snippets, as you're bound to learn bad practices.
I learned C by reading the Doom editor source (which was nominally Objective-C, but no matter). I tried to teach a kid programming once by having him work through a textbook, and found... It was really boring, for both of us. The equivalent of learning to read by reading those old Dick & Jane books. You gotta have something that grabs your interest.
Everyone loves to be the backseat driver in someone else's life. You don't want that though. You want information - experiences, references - that'll help you be a better driver.
So the scenario you're in... you're sitting there with a bunch of resources, a kid with a ton of time and enthusiasm, internet access, probably some small amount of disposable income...?
@bjb568 a bit more of context can help to weed out some answers, ie: do you have experience programing, is your son motivated to learn programing, for what reason, do he know something or just starting out, do he likes technical stuff, is curious, etc.
Presumably you're concerned he won't learn the right thing, or will get discouraged, or that you're inadvertently depriving him of something that'd make his efforts much more productive...
Figure out which of those is true, then focus on that. Elaborate on what you've already done, where you'd like to end up, etc.
