Hm... any Unity3D experts here? A user has added Unity3D stuff to Documentation. My gut instinct says it's copy-pasted, but Google doesn't find it. However, I believe a lot of the official Unity3D documentation is behind a login-wall.
So... it might be copy-pasted from places that Google doesn't access.

@zaq I feel bad about entering a room on a site I never use, just to ask them to help review.
But thanks anyway.

> Due to the size of Stack Overflow (averaging nearly 2,000 flags per day!), moderation can be a significant responsibility
 
user315433
Has the number 2,000 stayed the same over all these years?
 
user315433
2,000 doesn't sound like a lot by today's standards... I cast 10351/94 = 110 flags/day (actually a little more, if non-helpful are included).

I see 10 rooms and it's hard to tell which one is the (most) [general ] room.

I have a general S.E. question about DownVoting. 　When i DV (DownVote), i get -1 and the guy gets -2, right? 　　Do DVs often stop at -3 because beyond that, the numbers (-1, -2) change ?
 
user315433
@HizHa They don't. But the questions that have score -4 or less do not appear on the home page. So you see them less often.

on an answer, yes

( But the questions that have score -4 or less do not appear on the home page. So you see them less often. ) <--- That makes sense. Thank you .
I'm somewhat new to S.E. -- If I wanted to talk to someone about abuse / bad behavior by moderators and the old-timers (hardened regulars) of a site, how would I do that?
 
user315433
On reddit, usually.

@HizHa very carefully, you don't want to make me angry
 
user315433
@HizHa Question is: to whom do you want to talk about it? To SE employees? To another mod? To another old timer?
 
rene
rene
@HizHa try a search on MSE: meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=abuse+moderators and see which ones did work and which didn't
 
user315433
Employees are reachable via "contact us" link at the bottom of every page. Moderators are reachable via "flag" link under every post. Old-timers are reachable on meta.
 
user315433
Everyone else is reachable on reddit.
 
HizHa

Thank you for the responses. I'll try searching on MSE. I had no idea that reddit was somehow related or connected.

I'll also try reaching out to the most approachable (least arrogant) of the moderators one more time.
 
user315433
9:33 PM
Reddit is not connected to SE in any way. It's just a place to vent, if you're looking for one.
 
rene
rene
@HizHa hmm, keep in mind that you might be misunderstanding the stuff in the help center. Calling something abuse (or least arrogant) are not good starts for a constructive conversation, at least the ones that I saw and participated in

@HizHa yes, I already expected you to go down that route. Please read this example. I close your questions because they need to be improved. I never call you moron, your question is the problem and my close vote is an invitation to you to improve your post on what is lacking.
Just notice the score on that meta question

@HizHa a specific site meta might work as well but those posts normally don't last long. But if that makes you feel better
@ShadowWizard No, a place to vent for them

@zaq bots now offer bounties? Nice.

there 's a SE site for [movies and TV shows] -- where the moderator (s) are hyper- anal about 1. splitting related questions into different pages/threads, and about 2. not including any "unnecessary" comments about the TV show or movie.

--- it 's really weird, the Spartan / draconian attitude as if talking about theology or something.

I was later surprised to learn that the main culprit ( Napoleon Wilson ) is actually a chatty guy in the chat room.
