If all they came for was a simple answer, they'd be better off asking in chat, or else it just makes the site look poor if we're full of one word answers

@Randolf I felt it was more people just piling votes on simply because it got votes fast, and then the votes on the question were an after thought

@Randolf i do see what you mean, but look at the cd question. 100 upvotes on the question, 173 on the answer. I believe the numbers aren't related. Just because there was a good answer, doesn't mean the question was good. (In general, not for this case since I'm outlining cd - as our bad thing)

@Jeff Fantastic idea. That definitely helps keep users here too.

By asking it here, you are contesting it to be opened again. You may want to edit this post a little more clearly to define why it should be opened again

To whoever downvoted this, I would appreciate if you said why.

I also think once people see it has lots of votes, they just throw another on.

Most of our viewers aren't even registered on the site, a LOT of traffic comes in from Google. You need to account for those who are looking for a detailed answer, and it comes up on Google.

If you leave it long enough, people sometimes notice it and drop some rep on you

@Sathya although it is publicly viewable, we'd need to see an actual list to monitor it for this

Is there a way of monitoring flag weight ?

@Nifle I myself am in Canada, so it's likely I won't even be able to get to it either. That's why were looking for ideas

@Nifle Because the hardware is available, and as said, it could only be shipped in the US. It's just an extra thing that's readily accessible.
