| Jun 22, 2011 at 16:43 | comment | added | Shinrai | @nhinkle - I agree with Scott's recommendation that it should be more obvious that post editing is encouraged, and I agree with his language. I do certainly it's potentially non-obvious to a newer user. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 22:41 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @ScottChamberlain thanks for the feedback. You're always welcome to propose improvements by posting here on meta, using the feature-request tag. The FAQ is currently being adapted across the Stack Exchange network, so we'll take this into consideration. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 21:32 | comment | added | Scott Chamberlain | Ah, I see, I am just starting to dip my toes out of the SO pool and explore the other sites. I think it is a great idea. If you are editing the FAQ, I think clarifying that you can edit your closed question would be helpful. Right now it is a little ambiguous what you should do when your question is closed. Currently it reads like you should just sit and twiddle your thumbs till enough people vote to reopen it. Just adding a line at the end like "Editing your post for increased clarity will increase your chances of getting your post re-opened" would be great. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 21:30 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @ScottChamberlain the chat feature is about a year old. Ask a Moderator is something we created on Super User; I don't know if it's standard across the network. We could look into having it added to the FAQ. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 21:27 | comment | added | Scott Chamberlain | @nhinkle May I request that the advice of using Ask A Moderator be added to the FAQ? This thread is the first time I have ever heard of it and I have been using SO for years. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 21:23 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @Carl I know, I'm using "you" in the generic sense, if you'd like, I can edit my question to say "one may edit their original question" and so forth. The same advice still applies. | |
| Jun 19, 2011 at 21:22 | comment | added | Carl | You? The guy who posted the question didn't post this complaint - so you aren't talking to him. In that post - he says he can't post here because he needs a reputation of 5, and he's new. | |
