| Aug 21, 2012 at 21:31 | comment | added | user9528 | The can't-delete-for-two-days thing is completely new to me. And there were no questions here that addressed it. That's why I asked about it, here in this question that you decided should be closed even though the "duplicate" question has nothing to do with that matter. (The answer to that question says nothing about why the two-day rule exists, which is what I was attempting to ask.) I'm not sure what it was that brought me to SU on a whim today, but I'll try not to let it happen again. I'll stick with SO where I feel like I understand the rules. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 21:13 | comment | added | James Mertz | take offense to the actions taking place, and assume that they are vindictively directed at you. They aren't. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 21:12 | comment | added | James Mertz | @Kyralessa The answer is the same for both question. Therefore duplicate content. You seem to be agitated by the actions taking place here. At first I thought you were a new user, but I see now that you're a very experienced SE user. These rules, regulations and practices shouldn't be new to you, and therefore I'm a little perplexed as to you attitude toward this whole thing. If you have more to say, I suggest migrating this discussion over to Ask a SU Mod but plz don't | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:59 | comment | added | James Mertz | @DanielBeck Whoops! That's what I get for doing copypasta Here's the second link | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:55 | comment | added | user9528 | @KronoS, same for you. This isn't a duplicate of that question. This question is about the purpose of the two-day rule. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:50 | comment | added | user9528 | @OliverSalzburg, this is not a duplicate of that question. I'm specifically asking about the two-day rule. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:46 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @KronoS Same link twice? | |

exact duplicate | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 19:35 | comment | added | James Mertz | @Kyralessa Closures are not considered bad marks against you as a user. I'd almost garauntee that everyone has a closed question or two. It's all a part of the learning that goes on while using Stack Exchange. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 19:16 | comment | added | user9528 | @OliverSalzburg, it's hard to imagine how a community could be more unfriendly and unwelcoming than to say, "Your question is a bad one. Now we're going to hold on to it and show it to everyone, with your name on it, as an example of what not to do." | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 18:52 | comment | added | Oliver Salzburg Mod | @Kyralessa: That doesn't mean you get it back ;D In all seriousness, just because it was closed, doesn't mean the community doesn't want it. The question can still be improved and reopened. Closure is never final. Worst case scenario, we would have a closed question that serves as an example of what not to post on the site. Then, in a way, it's still welcome. Maybe tomorrow, you'll see this whole thing differently and you want to revise your question so it is more appropriate for the site. Cheers | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 18:47 | comment | added | user9528 | That rationale makes no sense, as the community quite obviously didn't want it. | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | Oliver Salzburg Mod | As soon as you posted the question, it was no longer your question. You contributed it to the community. | |
