Who have the right to close questions ?

People who get points because of their questions and answers doesn't mean they are good moderators.

Some people seem to hate questions when it relates to something new as if they fear for their language, it seems they are very akeen to close such question whereas they're getting answer.

They don't close jokes whereas they close questions such as "Why would you learn a new programming language".

    Is there a question here? It seems more like a rant against some unnamed moderator who seems to have different opinions from your own.

    This is when I wish for a "Close as WTF" option.

    Adam: this probably ties in with his previous posts about having his dupes closed by the community, so now he is ranting about how just because someone has 3,000 points they don't make good judges.

    The questions you asked, that got closed, didn't belong on Stack Overflow.

As you were informed here:

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/17932/why-was-my-question-closed-while-others-similar-were-not

Your question is not valid. Please read the FAQ and discontinue this nonsense.

  • If my question is not valid, if people answer it means it's valid no ? Or are we in a Bureaucracy here ?

  • @rebol: No, that does not mean it was valid. Nor does the existence of votes or any other question.

Wait... What now? You aren't making any sense, Rebol. I've seen joke questions closed on numerous occasions, while questions regarding new languages or libraries tend to do reasonably well.

Link to examples of what you're talking about, or it didn't happen.

  • Example: stackoverflow.com/questions/1332976/… It's the first time I complain about a question being closed. Because I'm really angry, I was interested by all the answers, a lot of people were answering so why close it ?

  • @Rebol: i'd take the time to explain, but it's easier just to link to this old writeup again: everything2.com/title/Getting+to+Know+You Read it, think about it, then come back and read the SO FAQ: stackoverflow.com/faq

  • Yes I read the FAQ it says: "of interest to at least one other programmer somewhere" I got 18 answers for the question so it means it interested others no ?

    @Rebol: You are about the 50000th person to come crying when their off topic question was closed. All of them have gotten the rules explained to them and have been sent away. Here is your chance to decide whether you want to go away and be a productive user who asks good questions, or if you want to hold a grudge and make a mess of the site by posting these kinds of questions.

    @Rebol: It cannot be answered. Technical questions need to have a right answer. Your question is too subjective to have a correct answer. I know you don't understand this and your emotions are raging on this, but no one is going to reverse this for you. You are simply wrong.
