Can we PLEASE get a definitive answer on what to do with low-quality software recommendation...

"Very low quality", as a concept used to work once upon a time. Too many misguidedly altruistic people have destroyed its value over time. They disagree with the flag and then take it upon themself t …

Should pre-canned edit rejection reasons be made more obviously pre-canned?

As a follow-on to the following question, I have a concern. How much negative result is there to having some aggressive edit refusers? The pre-canned response did not indicate that it was a pre-cann …

How much negative result is there to having some aggressive edit refusers?

I generally don't take a strong interest in the process behind what occurs between when I suggest an edit and the edit becoming formalized. I was a bit bored today, and so I watched a little more int …

Why is the closed queue so large?

I'm open to being granted a special dispensation to browse and review the queues that I'm "not qualified for" because of "low reputation". I'm sure that a fair number of others that are equally quali …

Motivation to answer low-trafic complicated questions?

How should I try to improve a question that the user doesn't like my edits for?

Often, when I edit questions, it is because they need editing to be uncrap. After putting some time into making the following question uncrap, one person approved the edit, but the user rejected it ou …

Is it typical for an edit to be hijacked and then attributed to someone else?

https://superuser.com/posts/663103/revisions Edit #3 (as of currently) is the edit I proposed, but the edit was not credited to me, but to someone else. I don't mind horribly, because it was only 2 r …

What happened to the flags on superuser?

Used to be that "not a real question" was one. Now, it says something silly like "Unclear what is being asked", to which I immediately thought, "Oh, it's clear what they want. But it both isn't a qu …

Why are the tags "directory" and "folder" configured how they are, and not reversed?

Why was folder chosen as the authoritative tag and directory made the synonym instead of the other way around? Directories are always directories in filesystems. A folder is an almost-cardboard th …

Are there optimal days/hours to post questions in order to get visibility and answers?

To sum up: The best times to post questions (especially well formed ones that engage the thinking process) would be "banker's hours", US. So roughly 14:00-21:00 GMT. That way, even if your question …

Retag request: Should duplicate-files be aliased to deduplication?

Dealing with duplicate files and deduplication are really 2 different sciences, especially if you drag ZFS (or similar) dedup into the conversation. I think that for things that deal with duplicate f …

Is there a way to exclude questions with certain tags from "Review" tasks?

When dealing with (in my case) questions that are Windows related, I have some of the worst luck trying to figure out what to do with them. Sometimes I'll stare at it for 3-5 minutes, and have no ide …

We need to disambiguate the [wds] tag

Easy. Blacklist [WDS] because out of context it is a meaningless tag (as opposed to [iscsi] which is likely to only ever have one meaning). Force the question asker or editors to use something more …

Should we reconsider changing the minimum rep to upvote?
