because I need information/them to agree on things

Well. It's useful if it gets feedback. Keeps it from being closed.... There's value I guess?

Hmm, should stackoverflow.com/questions/27381768/… be reopened? It's really just asking the equivalent of "How can I do this with the Google Maps API".

@NogShine No, they can't. Technically, they can, but they have to clear (remove) the bounty first. That's technically not closing a question with a bounty.
 
Nog Shine

@SonicWizard Well, I mean the same. Closing a question which has a bounty on it. They can close it after removing the bounty.

But the question doesn't have a bounty on it when they actually close it.

Q: In modern webbrowsers is there any point in putting www infront of a url that uses it?

CeleritasWhen going to www.facebook.com or www.cbc.ca is there any benefit or difference made by omitting the www? EDIT: so it could be a problem if www is omitted but not automatically added, could it ever be a problem if www is added but not required?

@SonicWizard all time
 
Sonic Wizard

And you're first in the yearly league if you exclude SE employees
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
heh, #2 is good enough
 
Sonic Wizard
Sonic Wizard
And in the all-time league, if you exclude users who are currently, or at any point have been, moderators on MSE, Mad Scientist is first, followed by @Shadow.
(Current employees, former employees, and those who were trilogy moderators back when trilogy mods were given moderator access to then-MSO)
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
well, technically, SU mods could have been MSE mods, and were at one point
 
Sonic Wizard
Sonic Wizard
Yeah, I've seen random participate a lot
animuson is in a special spot: he had mod privileges by being an SO mod, then lost them when MSO became MSE, and then regained them by becoming an SE employee.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
4:50 AM
MSO was always special tho
but initially I think trilogy mods had mod powers too
 
Sonic Wizard
Sonic Wizard
Isn't it true that the reason why trilogy mods were given moderator access to (then-MSO, now MSE) was because back when the entire SE network was just the trilogy sites, all three sites shared the same meta?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
vaguely
but that wasn't for very long
I THINK the reason we don't have mod powers is chat here is used for internal chat and... ya
 
Sonic Wizard
Sonic Wizard
And isn't that why I see a lot of MSU questions migrated from today-MSE on July 22, 2010? Is that when the system of per-site metas was put in place?
@JourneymanGeek In the original posts from the split, they said they would appoint mods here "eventually". That never happened.
 
Journeyman Geek

as with certain things
tbh, MSE needs very little moderation of that sort

A: Were the changes to the time limits supposed to occur retroactively?

SeanJArea51 is not a collaborative process. It is run by Robert Cartaino. My first proposal 'dogecoin' passed definition but was shut down by Robert who decided he didn't like it. Everytime autonomous vehicles came close to completion, Robert would appear to shut down questions many of which were v...

This is madness. I can't believe Robert is getting away with changing the rules arbitrarily. That is how a tyrant behaves. We were close several times until Robert came on and closed questions. Eric actually deleted a question with 22 votes because Robert closed it in order to placate his shutting down questions. For the record there were 208 followers on our proposal! — SeanJ 14 mins ago

Stack Overflow Isn’t Very Welcoming. It’s Time for That to Change, well I guess this is the typical example:
This website says 'ask a question' not 'share your code'. If u dont know how to approach this problem plz leave your bad comments with u. I am not looking for that. U guys are very bad and unhelpful. — Tina Florijn 5 mins ago
Now... is it because of gender? or is it a problem of expectations, a trouble from SE side to communicate how question should be asked?

Tina, how do you expect from people to help you without see your code? — Mosh Feu 17 mins ago
It is very sad to witness that everyone is complaining about the code and affect my reputation by disliking this post. Nowhere in the conditions of this website is stated that I need to share my code. I just asked a simple question about a problem that I cannot solve. All I want to hear is way how I can approach this not your bad comments. This is very sadly — Tina Florijn 15 mins ago
"Nowhere in the conditions of this website is stated that I need to share my code."
@PetterFriberg Apparently it's a lack of communication of policy.

@SonicWizard ooh I know, I have seen them all, it's just a typical day by day issue, OP click the "Ask a question" (not reading all the FAQ etc), they get down voted and then that comment arrives (which explains the problem). Now with all the downvotes OP is already hurt (whether it's male, women, gay or whatever) and the mess starts!
@SonicWizard Exactly that's what I wanted to show, OP on first question does not have enough info (we are not forcing them enough info before asking question). Now since that is maybe a women (they may think that is a problem with minority group), but I can show same thing (with male avatar). We need to fix the "Ask Question" stuff
And here you go with OP think it's a minority group problem
and btw this is not me on the picture so don't judge — Tina Florijn 1 min ago

because as it is, it is a problem for both active users and OP.
now related to question I'm not javascript dev, but I'm not so sure that the question actually needed code, it just need to be clear what OP actually wanted, the close reason according to me is wrong, but I think this is another beast

@hey "Playing" you are assuming again, OP feels what they feel, to me the problem is the darn "Ask question", push and post... but yeah that's just my hidden agenda to try and convince you about this.
Exact same question, with Chuck Norris as avatar to me would have had exact same outcome... I can't prove that, but I guess I can find similar example with male avatar.
 
hey
hey
I know and I also agree SO has many problems. It's even mentioned on the blog that it's SO's fault for not improving many things to make it friendlier for the new users in the first place.
Until then, there are only miscommunications/misexpectation/whatever between new users and the communities themselves
There's a conversation with Shog that might give some insight, starting from
14 hours ago, by Shog9
Don't answer dups. Edit everything else that you answer. The notion that you shouldn't answer even when you can because the question is crap ignores the primary advantage of SO over traditional forums: editing.

@ShadowWizard I am not upgrade my body, just reading the latest 74 pages State Environmental Planning Policy, probably have to read hundred of pages on how to get approval for pharmaceutical goods that already got FDA approval sometime this week. Have to coordinate inspection because road work. Have to find out info because the branch where my tiny company's account is held has collapsed (just the branch not the bank so $ is safe). Then there is a whole list on lower priority issues.

Servy left a comment here as response on my earlier comment. I have a hard time to decipher what his message entails. Does it try to correct my (blunt) statement? Does it adds another point of view? Does it extend on my comment? Or is it just as always his elitist way of telling me that I don't understand what this is all about?
The latter is most often the case so I wouldn't be surprised if it is just that.

@Servy is sometimes... hard to follow/understand, yeah.
oh, he means the blog post means we can't tell people they are wrong anymore because it will hurt their feeling. @rene
Which is correct. And the first steps of a major, bad, change.

People are now afraid to tell users they're wrong, that's most likely what Servy means.

Q: Why are you not participating on SO?
A1: I once asked a question, but it was an offtopic tool request, so they correctly shut it down.
A2: Because the users there are so mean.
 
user315433
I suspect "they tell us" involves a fair bit of A2 being passed for A1

Yeah, it's like students will feel intimidated and unwelcome by the teachers when they get low grades in tests.
"I failed this test because I'm a female, now fire the teacher!"

user5389107
@ShadowWizard This has actually been a topic at universities and in some instances failing grades were raised to passing grades depending on external factors
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
Fact is, those things can't be proved, not until there will be real mind reading.
 
user5389107
user5389107
For instance, when some students joined protests and participated in certain forms of social activism that left them little time to tend to their studies, demands were made and met by university officials that the grading system be relaxed to avoid a hostile campus atmosphere

And with tests it's easier to prove the teacher gave bad score because, well, the student gave wrong answers.

@ShadowWizard According to fellows at oxford objective science itself is a sexist construct: academic.oup.com/spp/article-abstract/12/6/308/1619782
This is what causes this debate to become so explosive and vitriol filled - neither side can even agree on a set of definitions and premises

That interesting blog is becoming a tool for some people to defend poor quality question/answer. Like here here. Maybe some day asking whatever question should be welcomed ;)... — liliscent 10 hours ago

I happen to know a remedy for that: read and answer SO questions for a few months. After seeing N of these duplicates, you won't be so sad about them being downvoted.
