| Jul 28, 2015 at 21:28 | comment | added | Dmitry Grigoryev | @Peltier true, but showing up in search results and not having an answer damages the site's reputation. It makes SU look like those sites which have an answer for everything, usually followed by links labelled "direct download", "no SMS" and "full version" | |

| Jul 3, 2014 at 3:56 | comment | added | Robotnik | @Peltier - The middle ground is to try and answer the questions if you find them. Unfortunately a lot of them are very specific to particular device versions/problem spaces and are therefore unlikely to help future visitors at all - they would be better off asking their own question. That being said, If you stumble across a 3 year old problem that you know the answer to with no solution, be that solution! | |
| May 24, 2011 at 13:50 | comment | added | Peltier | I know the FAQ and am familiar with the site. I'm not angry, but I disagree with the way the few addicts who mod the site do it. There is a reasonable middle ground between Yahoo answers and excessive moderation. | |
| May 24, 2011 at 13:41 | comment | added | Supercereal | Sounds like someone had a question closed (probably by the community) and is now angry at the mods... Getting rid of all the mods would just bring in more mods that do the same thing... read the faq it's just how the site is run... no one wants another yahoo answers. | |
| May 24, 2011 at 12:01 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | It's considered better that people with the same problem open their own question rather than trying to revive a very old question that is not theirs and failing when doing so. Please note that those inactive question did not have any solutions and thus really are to be considered "internet rot", in comparison to those forums that leave such "threads-you-found-on-Google-with-no-answers" we decided that we don't want such results to show up on Google as they are not helpful at all. Feel free to elaborate why we need to get rid of who, because I don't see any particular bad mod... | |
