Should I flag questions as off-topic if they are already upvoted and answered?
I am not saying you opposed. I agree with most things you said.

I never opposed any of what you said. Scope, topicness etc. I feel if a moderator feels IF it FITS BETTER elsewhere, they can move it. Simple. There are lot of times questions can end up being haldway between SU/ SO/ SA

@OliverSalzburg - We are not talking about Cooking question or Car Repairs and Hairstyling on SU. Thats way off and most people would not have replied to it or supported it here. There are times SU, SO, SysAdmin, Software Rec.. have overlaps. One might look for an SR and end up scripting something which might be partially SU or partially SO (Scripting on SU can at times be overlapping with programming on SO).

@OliverSalzburg - One mans sweet is another mans bitter. It does not mean you completely eliminate that. I just replied to some old questions today that did not have a clear perfect answer. I was looking for the answer as well, did not find it on SE, but when I found a way, I posted back on the question, so that it might help others. Deleting it "kills" all the effort and work put in by people who wrote quality answers to it.

@JoshuaDrake - Thanks for the support Drake. I'll bold that part out :) PS: I am wondering if this can be brought to the light of Admins/ Mods and be made policy. After all. people replied, put in effort while other people flagged it otherwise. Why burn the effort if we can find a place to fit it?

Not referring to the link posted, I posted a question on SU and someone pushed it to Software Rec.

@CanadianLuke - That's exactly what happened to a question of mine :) So, what should have been done? And what should I do?

Is there something off with how reputation is built on Stack Exchange?
Thanks. I just learnt how to use 'comment' flags. I did not know they existed or any way to use them. I will use that from now on. PS: Is there a META that would be better suited to "Stack Exchange" wide issues that I'd like to point out? Should I modify/ move this there?

@Ramhound - I just dont spend a lot of time on here. I pop in and out and help when I think I can. E.g. productivity.stackexchange.com/questions/8651/…

@Ramhound - You can go on about every place where I posted something as an answer and not a comment because I did not have comment access there. I may lost points, but my intent was to connect and collaborate towards helping them or seeking help. At times, that has led to people connecting back. I have no other way to making the OP come back as I did not have comment access.

@Ramhound - PS: I dont post things & questions that are simply and easy to find an answer for as I can google and find my way most of the times. Its when I cant move forward on things at all that I do so. So, he can build all the rep he wants on easy questions.

superuser.com/questions/948456/… @Ramhound - That question has "all the information" of this weird behavior exhibited by Windows 8.1 between 2 machines. I eventually had to copy the files to an external HDD and then copy back instead of direct copy to the D partition of the other HDD.

@slchk - I will shift and reference several other instances of such experiences that make me wonder how this reputation thing works

I dont have any preconceived notions. My experiences are the source of my post here. Let me come back and write in detail after collecting and linking the various experiences and issues with them. PS: Ok. Point taken. I was trying hard not to spell or write that out. Trust me, I did not wish to, but I could not come up with "too chatty" and "off topic in whole different philosophical direction". I'll have to find some way to articulate this when I have more sleep.
