| Oct 2 at 11:51 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JoepvanSteen- Revision history on the question tells a different tale. Given you still have access to that information and you are an experienced community user I will let you verify that for yourself | |
| Oct 2 at 11:49 | comment | added | user705502 | @Ramhound - I didn't roll back anything. The other party in this flagged for moderator intervention. I have no problem with moderator intervention. I have no problem with rolling back if it's limited to "offending edits". The person that did the rolling back has issue with one particular edit I made, I'm fine with that being rolled back. I am not fine with him rolling back everything. I would be fine with OP rolling everything back. | |
| Oct 2 at 0:38 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JoepvanSteen - Edits being reversed by the community and author is allowed, if that is a sticking point, then you are on the wrong side of that particular fence. I have no opinion on anything that happened to be honest. Applying the same edit twice and having it rolled back, then automatically beings in a moderator, which is the reason Journeyman brought up the “rollback” situation. While it might have only been once it was enough for an automatic moderator flag to be thrown | |
| Oct 2 at 0:29 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | That would add a massive barrier to actually doing edits. I'd love an option to have any user suggest an edit but that's an old wontfix | |
| Oct 2 at 0:28 | comment | added | Ramhound | All edits except perhaps by moderators should be seen as proposed edits accepted by the community or the author, even by users, who don’t necessarily need their edits approved. If you treat even unilateral approval edits as proposed edits it works best that way. Only exceptions might be inline screenshots and removal of signatures and “thank yous” | |
| Oct 2 at 0:12 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | sigh I'm going to clear out the comments, and suggest folks take a DEEP breath before proceeding further. | |
| Oct 1 at 23:31 | comment | added | user705502 | @JourneymanGeek - that's an excellent suggestion, thanks. | |
| Oct 1 at 23:30 | comment | added | user705502 | I didn't roll back anything. In the deleted comment where I said, "go annoy someone else"? | |
| Oct 1 at 23:30 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | @JoepvanSteen in theory OP can roll back/forward to any revision they choose. I'd probably comment asking them to clarify to say, if it was a micro or full SD, or other circumstances that could differenciate their question from the proposed dupe. You could then roll in that information from the comments. | |
| Oct 1 at 23:28 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | @JoepvanSteen generally rollback wars are two people. Besides, a dupe closure, or reopen needs five people not 21 unless you're a moderator or a gold tag badge holder so its not 'just' Giacomo. Also, the language you used in the deleted comment was inappropriate. | |
| Oct 1 at 23:28 | comment | added | user705502 | FWIW, I ALREADY agreed to that edit not being a good idea. I did not object to that edit yesterday either, I let it slide. But .. how about letting original poster decide if he's okay with the edit? | |
| Oct 1 at 22:12 | comment | added | user705502 | @Ramhound - And you know, this whole situation feels so alien to me, that I no longer wish to be here. I do not want to answer the existing question which I do not see as a duplicate of the question in the first place, I want to answer the question that I answered because I think it's a different question that the existing question that's a supposed duplicate. And that's why I edited the question. And yes, I'm quite pissed when I'm then talked to as if I'm some noob and someone simply rolls back my edits. And when that same person then calls me stubborn and short sighted, I'm done here. | |
| Oct 1 at 22:01 | comment | added | user705502 | @Ramhound - Yes, I feel like in some parallel Universe. I see a question that's not a duplicate (IMO) and try prevent if getting closed by editing. These edits are simply rolled back. Journeyman Geek speaks of "rollback war", but there wasn't any, all rollbacks were done by one person. And that person does only responds with ad hominins without even a start to support his view, the question being a duplicate. As I said, there may be similarities but that's not a duplicate. And if I try to guess intent from one asking the question, the supposed duplicate isn't an answer. | |
| Oct 1 at 21:08 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JoepvanSteen - Ok? You then brought the discussion, here, to talk about your edit. You received some feedback. But you ended up requesting an account deletion. | |
| Oct 1 at 21:07 | comment | added | user705502 | @Ramhound - that's what I did, but it was rolled back by Giacomo 1968. | |
| Oct 1 at 21:06 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JoepvanSteen - "I don't understand, how does one propose an edit?" - By hitting the edit button and modifying the contribution. | |
| Oct 1 at 21:04 | comment | added | user705502 | @Ramhound, thanks. Maybe I should not speculate about people blindly closing duplicates. No, it was never closed, I know. I don't understand, how does one propose an edit? Yes, sadly it will probably be closed while it has accepted answer and supposed duplicate has no answer to this specific question IMO. | |
| Oct 1 at 19:49 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JoepvanSteen - "I wonder if they took the time to look at the existing Q and answers or just blindly accept it's a duplicate because someone says it is." - I most certainly do that in every case, and while I might not have voted in this case, I conclude my own opinion on every community moderation vote I cast. The question you are talking about was never closed by the way. Since you have (had) enough reputation to propose your own edit proposals with community feedback the community never weighed in on your changes except one user. Question is still the queue to be closed. | |
| Oct 1 at 15:29 | comment | added | user705502 | Still here (deletion takes 24 hours it seems, 23 to go), yeah I do not wish to bother anymore people like or situations I had with @giacomo1968. I want to write good answers to help others, share what I know. Learn a thing or two from others. Maybe it's just me but it baffles me how anyone could think the duplicate answers the question. Maybe SU simply isn't for me, maybe SU and me are incompatible. | |
| Oct 1 at 14:55 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | That seems a little extreme over one post. You do post good answers - I'm unsure how one case of .. well unpleasantness would trigger it. There's not always a perfect way, or even good enough way to deal with situations like this. We do what we can. | |
| Oct 1 at 14:52 | comment | added | user705502 | Okay forget it. I'll just delete my account. | |
| Oct 1 at 14:49 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | or as the other user involved suggested, if its closed, cross post the answer. That's a factor, as well as the whole 'solder tiny wires to the sd card chip' recovery that's possible but requires mad skills. | |
| Oct 1 at 14:46 | comment | added | user705502 | But that would mean (or not?) that each question about a non detectable SD Card can be referred to Bob's answer, just because asker mentions "SD card" and "not detected"? This is part of my problem with "duplicates" and answers that seem authoritative due to sheer number of upvotes. Anyway a big difference is in what's being asked. Jesse explicitly asks of pro data recovery is an option and what it could do for him. Drama yes, well I am not the one who had doubts about a fellow SU-er's edits and simply rolled them back as if I had some authority over the other SU-er. | |
