| Sep 9, 2022 at 6:48 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @Giacomo1968 - they can be analysed… back at the factory. I don't think there's anything one could really do at consumer level - or even care about at consumer level, as you say. My last job I got through thousands of these things every year. If we got a significant bad batch, the factory wanted them back for analysis [though they never told us the results, they just wanted to improve their QC]. For any small percentage that failed, they just went in the bin. | |

Editing contributions is something the community should be doing. The editing likely is correcting grammatical and spelling errors, which often lead to, downvotes because contributions with grammatical and spelling errors are often not clear due to their grammatical and spelling errors. | |

| Sep 5, 2022 at 4:26 | comment | added | Lucas BS | It gets to a point where it's IRRITATING when EVERY question is bashed in a way. If I "feel that a question has been wrongly closed, you can always bring it here for discussion", then I would have to be prepared to make two posts everytime I need to ask something. One for the actual question, and a other one here. So fogive me for the "aggressive tone" (against moderators, not helpers), but I'm NOT sorry. | |
| Sep 5, 2022 at 4:21 | comment | added | Lucas BS | And when they don't add substantial/relevant/worthy clarity to what I've actually asked for ? That IS the case, Vylix. A variation of the OP's complaint by the way I see. But anyway, out of all of them, Edits are the smallest of my complaints | |
| Sep 5, 2022 at 4:15 | comment | added | Lucas BS | Also, NotTheDr01ds, How do you judge "the moderation there was good", in my question ? How do you judge this as good moderation, and call a bad moderation when "they didn't understand my question" ? When you understand why I called them Gestapo (on the third futile edit), then you will see the parallels with your "they didn't understand my question". | |

| Sep 4, 2022 at 17:41 | comment | added | Vylix | When someone edit your question to give other readers clarity what you're actually asking is, it is a legitimate edit. Of course, their edit will incorporate their writing style, and perhaps you don't like it. The solution is to edit back your writing style, while keeping what the edit has solved. Remember that when you ask or answer a question here, it becomes community's. | |
| Sep 4, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | If you do feel that a question has been wrongly closed, you can always bring it here for discussion, but I would encourage you to do so in a more calm manner. Edits, comments, or posts that are aggressive in tone usually aren't well-received here. We're not Reddit and don't want to be! | |
| Sep 4, 2022 at 15:49 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | I did look through some of your questions, and it seems to me after looking at two of them that were closed that the moderation there was good. You've (reluctantly, since you call the moderation, "Gestapo") edited one of them which may be reopened based on the edits - That's how the system is supposed to work. | |
| Sep 4, 2022 at 15:48 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | It's probably useful to point out that I'm both the OP and the "guy that had the gut to suggest ...". No "other guy" here - Same guy, same opinion. Good moderation is good and helpful for the site. Bad moderation, where clear, answerable questions are closed as "Needs Detail or Clarity" is bad for the site. | |

| Sep 4, 2022 at 9:20 | comment | added | Vylix | Can you elaborate more about what you want to say? What I get right now is just a response to other users (including mod) editing/flagging as unconstructive and unwanted. If a question form can be improved by edits, that is the right thing to do. | |
