Aug 29, 2023 at 14:45 comment added Shadow Wizard @Rubén please don't dig ancient 10+ years threads just to add a tag, it's really pointless and just bump noise to the homepage. Thanks.

May 30, 2010 at 17:31 comment added Peter Ritchie Woah, 52 upvotes on a system with 180,000+ users constitutes some sort of democratic vote for a policy change? This really needs to be made an official policy and publicly documented before it can be enforced. Stackoverflow makes money on the posts people freely give it. There needs to be some leeway here.
May 30, 2010 at 17:20 comment added Alan @RobinDotNet: He didn't remove your blog link, he removed your signature per meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28416/…. Links to blogs (especially specific articles in blogs) as part of a comprehensive answer is okay. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20531
May 30, 2010 at 17:17 comment added Alan @Jonathan: I was checking out Robin's posts, and maybe it would be helpful if you posted a comment to the answer with the link to meta explaining why.
May 30, 2010 at 17:10 comment added RobinDotNet I don't understand why you felt compelled to edit every single one of my posts and remove the link to my blog. I post the link because there aren't many active blogs about ClickOnce, and if someone's asking a question about it, they could find something helpful on my blog. There's nothing in it for me, I make no money off of it, I'm just trying to be helpful because I have expertise in this niche technology.
May 28, 2010 at 4:52 comment added Sampson Mod @Lance I'm sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I've merged the two posts in question. Thank you.
May 27, 2010 at 23:27 comment added Lance Roberts @Jonathan, you could look at the two flags I put on these questions: stackoverflow.com/questions/2905168/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/2852285/….
May 27, 2010 at 23:24 comment added Lance Roberts @Jonathan, noting the input given below, one time when it is good for a moderator to close is when a question is too niche to attract enough of the community, and it goes by a day or so without the community closing it.

Mar 19, 2010 at 4:46 comment added Gnome From what I've seen (esp. on SO, don't pay much attention to meta) you've not made any serious mistakes, but I do notice it's rare (or seems to be) for other SO moderators to close a question single-handedly, which would, at the very least, prevent misinterpretation as in meta.stackexchange.com/questions/42636.

Feb 15, 2010 at 1:11 comment added IAbstract Stepping in as a volunteer moderator is not much different than getting your first management position - sans monetary compensation. I admire anyone willing to take on the stresses moderator duties will undoubtedly impose. I am happy being a contributing peon.
Feb 15, 2010 at 0:39 comment added Sampson Mod @dboarman: I appreciate the kind words. I figured it this way, if my behavior is off-key with what the community expects, I can either invite the scrutiny now, or be called out by the community later. So far I've learned a great deal from you all in this question.
Feb 15, 2010 at 0:05 comment added IAbstract +1 @Jonathan: sometimes coming forward and asking for community advice on your actions can be very difficult to do. This action on your part is very respectable and puts you in an approachable light. Moderators, in general, are easily assumed to be mean and intolerable. So far, I can say the complete opposite about any of the moderators I have communicated with, directly or indirectly, on SO and M.SO.

Feb 14, 2010 at 11:29 comment added Pekka The closes all look perfectly legit to me. The only thing that doesn't look right to me in general is that when a question is vague, and the community closes down a question using five votes, the asker can see the close votes trickling in, and re-word the question - a chance he doesn't have when a moderator closes it. So it might be an idea to give questions that are too vague but have the potential of being a real question, some warning first. I don't know, just a thought.
