@TylerH It still doesn't apply. Comments by the same editor do not break the grace period, even when the editor is not the author. No potential solutions are invalidated by the post not mentioning this detail. — Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog 50 secs ago

I use <details> often in GitHub prose to include but collapse long technical details like logs or nonessential code examples. I'd like to do the same on SO. For example, in this answer I have a 282-line example of JSON data. As a workaround, I put it in gist and linked to it, but I'd rather follow the principle of including data in the answer itself, without destroying its readability. — Jacktose 13 secs ago

We could just delete the post I suppose. Would that have been a better experience for you or would you have found that just as frustrating. The fundamental problem is that the question isn't appropriate here so that leaves us with migration or deletion ad our two options. — Robert Longson 45 secs ago

I'm good with that. I just felt that it provided relevant context. Thanks for the link! — phil1008 18 secs ago

I've trimmed away the references to the content that got you suspended on Space Exploration. This isn't the place to discuss the circumstances around your suspension. We should focus on your concerns about migration. If you feel like your suspension was in error/should be overturned/you have more to add to it, you should respond to the moderator message you received alongside your suspension, or, use the Contact Us form to reach SE staff. — Spevacus ♦ 30 secs ago

@TylerH I think you misinterpreted the rule: "A comment has been added to the post since the previous revision by anyone other than the editor". It does not mention the post author. — wjandrea 14 secs ago

@TylerH I never said it was my post and in fact it's not. You assumed that. — wjandrea 1 min ago

@TylerH What did your answer say? I was going to comment with more specifics but you deleted it. — wjandrea 22 secs ago

@wjandrea You said my answer would not work because the solution I provided does not apply, but the only scenario where it does not apply is when you are the post author. So are you the post author or not? If not, then my solution applies. — TylerH 21 secs ago

@EndAntisemiticHate: You are correct, they will be less likely to use SE, but they will be fine if they start using Firefox Mobile as recommended in the Let's Encrypt article. And since many websites use certificates from Let's Encrypt, they'll almost be forced to install Firefox Mobile anyway, at which point they access SE sites without a problem. — President James K.

The information about the post being your own is critical information because it invalidates potential solutions. Why are you so intent on leaving that information out of the question? — TylerH 47 secs ago

Though, to be honest, I don't see what's so impractical about doing a rollback; it's like two clicks. — TylerH 41 secs ago

Won't work. From the linked page: "A comment has been added to the post since the previous revision by anyone other than the editor" — wjandrea 12 secs ago

If you wanted to ask on Stack Overflow, use Stack Overflow. (If you get a message that says you are not allowed to post there, please read the link in that message). You may not bring a programming question here in order to work around a question ban, because you are being ignored on Stack Overflow, or for any other reason. This place is for asking about Stack Exchange itself. — Karl Knechtel 17 secs ago

Is the reason you couldn't find a means because the post you're editing is an answer? If it's a question, as stated there, you can post a self-answer, make the edit, and then delete your answer. — Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog 56 secs ago

I usually have the opposite problem, needing more revision within the grace period. — bad_coder just now

P.S. Sometimes even rollback doesn't apply, like when I want to post a community answer copying someone else's content, then immediately edit and fix their grammar, as in this answer. — wjandrea 29 secs ago

The idea is fine but I don't like the mock-up. Borders for me don't have meaning; they just group related parts of the UI. — Laurel 57 secs ago
