| Jun 7, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | This question is "featured" because the last time I changed close reasons on SO a lot of folks felt blindsided by the change, @Final - so I'm gonna leave this up for comment over the weekend, respond to feedback, make any needed corrections, and if there are no credible objections make the change on Monday once everyone's had a chance to think about it. This isn't just about the folks on meta; even small changes like this have a big effect on the entire site. | |
| Jun 7, 2014 at 11:31 | comment | added | László Papp | @Wooble: there is a difference between majority (which can be 51%, too) and pretty much everyone, but at least the most valuable contributors. I am talking about situations as the latter. Also, I must personally admit that I do not think the majority of the contributors here on meta agree about "no downvotes" and "no closures". I am convinced about the opposite. | |
| Jun 7, 2014 at 11:24 | comment | added | Wooble | @FinalContest: if Stack Overflow were a democracy where the majority ruled, we'd allow awful subjective questions, demands to write askers' entire programs for them, and there'd be no downvotes or closing questions. | |
| Jun 7, 2014 at 7:54 | comment | added | László Papp | @CodyGray: one case does not clarify many. I am afraid it is you who should read meta more often. There are plenty of upvoted proposals (majority eventually) that go nowhere. No, many of them are not even development related, just mindset which can be already achieved with existing tools. I am grateful when some progress is occasionally made, but on the contrary, I am sad for the majority. | |
| Jun 7, 2014 at 7:33 | comment | added | Cody Gray Mod | @Final I don't know what you are trying to say, but it sounds like you're saying that the community doesn't have a lot of weight in decisions. That isn't true at all. I do more than my fair share of complaining, but Shog is an awesome dude who definitely does listen to community feedback. The evidence is right here in this question—do read it again more carefully. He links to this recent Meta discussion, where there was an outpouring of community support for bringing a close reason like the one he's proposing back. Clearly he listened. | |
| Jun 7, 2014 at 6:21 | comment | added | László Papp | I also support this; not that the community has much weight in decisions. If it comes from Shog, it is "featured", if it is just upvoted by the community a lot, that is sadly a different story. | |
