I've had so many questions across the SE network in the last 2 years closed despite following most of the advice in this post, and despite no-one being able to cite what rules or posting guidelines were being violated, to the point that I've found it often just tends to boil down to "because we say so" by the those who happen to deal with it. It just currently seems too flawed a system to place your trust in. | |
| Oct 28, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | Hashim Aziz | I'll try to adopt this strategy from now, but I'm very skeptical of the idea that if I ignore users, the problem will go away, which I think is what you're saying. A site where users makes the vast majority of contributions means you're always at the mercy of users. A single misplaced downvote or close vote and the addition of natural cognitive biases, which we all suffer from, can very quickly snowball into 5 of them, which is why I feel such an urge to respond to criticisms, especially when I perceive them as baseless. Once you get those 5, you're at the ultimate mercy of the moderators... | |
