| Sep 30, 2013 at 15:10 | comment | added | gnat | this might be so... or not, hard to tell without more thinking and SEDE digging. Anyway this is only a rough idea, I haven't yet chewed it thoroughly. Hopefully will get back to this after I am done with link-only answers cleanup at Programmers, ie in about 1-1,5 months from now | |
| Sep 30, 2013 at 15:05 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | I said right at the top that I wasn't going to cover the stuff that other answers have already addressed adequately, @Your. I did cover several options close to your stated goals that folks have worked pretty hard on; if you don't like them, then you may have to accept that you're asking for a unicorn and all we have are rhinos. | |
| Sep 30, 2013 at 15:00 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | That opens up a huge can of worms, @gnat. It's possible to mitigate a lot of the false positives by taking length, content, and as you suggest time spent writing into consideration - but this gets complicated in a hurry. | |
| Sep 29, 2013 at 8:56 | comment | added | Your Common Sense | It is actually about long and windy excuse for the refusal of improving the service even a bit. I could stand such a position but you could have made it dramatically shorter, two words would be enough. | |

| Sep 27, 2013 at 21:56 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | It's not really about being selfish, @Your; it's about focusing your efforts on areas where they'll do the most good. You're not gonna turn SO into an EL&U-sized site; heck, you're not gonna turn your corner of SO into an EL&U-sized site. And you wouldn't want to anyway - if anything, EL&U gets a higher percentage of crap than SO does, but with the lower volume the folks answering are left fighting over scraps. You want a site where even the worst questions get answered, because there's nothing else to do? I doubt it. Wanna make a difference? Reward the folks who ask questions you like. | |
| Sep 27, 2013 at 21:00 | comment | added | Your Common Sense | I wish I were that selfish in my concerns as you picture me. Thanks for trying anyway. | |
| Sep 27, 2013 at 17:50 | comment | added | Jimmy Hoffa | +1 for pimping P.SE, all the reasons this question scares up are the same ones I had when I stumbled across P.SE, and why I basically setup shop there and stopped participating in SO. | |
