| Mar 24, 2017 at 17:17 | comment | added | music2myear | I think this gets down to the root of my habit here: Except in the extreme cases I always give the benefit of the doubt, I let the community sort it out, and I fight for the asker when I feel they are able to be coached through to a good question and when others seem to be harsher than I think is warranted. I don't dislike those who have a more strident or stringent approach. We're different, that's all. I'm comfortable being me, and I'm OK with them being them, and I think Super User is best that way. Spammer got deleted. Nothing was lost. I am not yet a Mod, and therefore have more leeway. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 17:14 | comment | added | music2myear | Because I wanted to meet you, of course! The serious answer? Because there was nothing to be lost by Super User or gained by OP by commenting, in the slight chance it was not spam, and there was a slight chance of something gained by Super User. We may judge the involved odds differently, and there's a distinct possibility that I am not aware of some nefarious plot the brave user Community battles against daily involving links to Microsoft Site and numbers that looked like phone digits but could have been an error code. If that is the case, I'd be happy to be educated. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 17:03 | comment | added | Thomas Ward | I have a very VERY important question here for you. Namely, why did you make a comment on a spam/rude-abusive post just now, instead of purely noticing it's spam and instead flagging it? (the post is now deleted, 10k+ can see it at this link) | |
| Mar 20, 2017 at 16:35 | comment | added | music2myear | It would take some time to bring up specific instances and links, but I have saved borderline questions from deletion and gotten new users good answers by sticking to my guns, helping determine exactly what OP wants and concisely pointing out how the question is valid. In some questions and discussions there are good points being made by both disagreeing parties, and in these I'll try to bridge the gap by highlighting the good points made by each. That said, as you mention, I have stuck more to the questions and to the review queues, and haven't been involved in many of the more heated topics. | |
| Mar 20, 2017 at 7:46 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I've seen you around - and while you're in my book of "Good People" - you've not really have had the same sort of presence as some of the other candidates. While being a 20K user does give you much of the "hard" tooling a moderator uses, could you give some examples of how you've defused or handled a situation as a regular user here? | |
