I have an idea of an application suitable for both android and ios platforms which has the potential to become huge. All I am lacking is the technical background and expertise.All I want is to start working on that as soon as possible before someone else has the same idea and they start working o...
Off topic questions are common in MSE, no need to get so excited about each and mark as spam. It just cause the spam filters to make more false positives.
I can see the difference between "We're a multinational company who looks for some code monkeys to fill in the gaps in our teams" and "Hey guys, I have a cool idea for a freeware project, would you like to hop in?". What I don't see is any kind of official policy that says how to treat the latter in the general case - and "the jury is 50/50" doesn't give much of a precedent either.
If you trap a moth under a layer of paint, the wall gains mass. If you use a wrecking ball, the wall loses mass. Perhaps we need to strike (heh) a balance?
My recommended approach would be to kill the moth and then scrape off the remains
or perhaps trap it in one of those electronic thingies that PETA hates so much.
Also, it's about the intention. What if the moth is innocent and doesn't want to cause harm? What if the moth can do something useful if kept alive and not zapped to death?
@ShadowWizard I have reasons for replying sd directly, ask @rene. It's easier for the RMs to move all those messages to the graveyard, including the replies.
Yes, they are spam.

animuson's answer on Review Update Pattern says theat only posts that are at least 15 minutes old enter first post review queue.
> For first posts and late answers, the post needs to have existed for at least 15 minutes before it becomes eligible.
But it is quite easy to find posts which are in the review queue about one minute after being created. Is somewhere on meta mentioned when this was changed?
I wonder if it's worth starting a feature request for sending auto flag to CM only when a post is deleted as spam (6 spam flags) and the user has accounts with deleted posts on other sites as well. Flag like "Potential cross site spammer".
@Shadow Out of curiosity, what's the motive behind changing older-style duplicate closures to newer-style ones?
I don't believe it has that much marginal benefit. The reopening and editing bumps those posts, and wipes out the original close voters and close date from the notice shown on the question.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog no, but I don't like the idea of having the "Possible duplicate" text as part of the question body, it's not elegant, can be easily abused, etc.
IMO such action isn't different from editing to fix grammar, for example. It makes the question be in better shape.
@OptimusPrime so it's pointless to email you, you'll never really read the email.
@ShadowWizard yeah. in the past, when I was in school, I gave my email id everywhere, eg subscribe to newsletters, sign up on forums etc and when the inbox count goes high, I simply create a new mail account.

Can someone please vote to close meta.stackexchange.com/questions/249804/… as a duplicate of meta.stackexchange.com/questions/126470? I think both this target and the one I proposed earlier are relevant, but I can only select one target, and no one has the right Chaos Emerald for the question's tags. So another dupe vote is needed for both targets to show.
(cc @rene since you reviewed as "Leave Open", but I think this target is more relevant)
