| Jan 16, 2014 at 11:42 | comment | added | Lorenzo Dematté | Good point! But may I add a final step, as nixda pointed out? After becoming hot, the question got posted on Twitter/Reddit; there, for less-tech-savvy people, your quick and catchy answer got upvoted even more, because it easier to read and understand than other deeper but longer answers | |
| Jan 15, 2014 at 21:02 | comment | added | Kevin Panko | @Braiam Yeah, a few different rules. On Stack Overflow you need three votes to approve or reject a suggested edit, but only two on Super User. Little details like that are different. | |
| Jan 11, 2014 at 23:59 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I think it might be cause we're a more popular site/part of the trilogy | |
| Jan 11, 2014 at 23:44 | comment | added | bwDraco | @Braiam: Only this particular rule, AFAIK. | |
| Jan 11, 2014 at 23:36 | comment | added | Braiam | @DragonLord wait, SU have different ruleset? | |
| Jan 11, 2014 at 22:57 | comment | added | bwDraco | @Braiam: The question has more than 15 answers (see revision history). On other SE sites, more than 30 answers will convert the question to CW. | |
| Jan 11, 2014 at 22:31 | comment | added | Braiam | BTW, can someone explain why some user nuked it into a CW? | |
| Jan 10, 2014 at 22:42 | comment | added | Kevin Panko | The hot questions list is where I first saw it. I was on Stack Overflow at the time, so it brought viewers from there to that question. | |
