Jan 3, 2013 at 16:10 comment added the-wabbit @doug I have been one of the people who voted the first of those questions for migration. I have also written the only answer to this question so far (which was already there before I voted for migration) and do not think it has been unwelcoming in any way. The reason why the question attracted more migration votes quickly is the current review system - I think we need some more time to work out whether it is a good thing in its current condition.
Jan 3, 2013 at 12:51 comment added user9517 Mod Making people comment has been discussed many times and the answer is always that it's not going to happen. The first question probably has a better home on dba.SE though it may get closed as a dupe there the latter should be on topic here though it's not great. Regarding the bar, like IT, Server, Professional it's difficult to define some days I think it's way too low and some days it's just about right. I really would like to see more, better quality questions than we get now and I wish I knew how to attract them.
Jan 3, 2013 at 9:25 comment added John Gardeniers It's worth noting that your first example hasn't just been closed, it has been migrated to a much more appropriate site. Perhaps if you had checked the close reasons already cast you might not have made such an incorrect assumption. Your second example has just a single close vote and I'd personally be surprised if it gets the other 4 required to close it. I really think you've had a poorly timed knee-jerk reaction. I suggest you pay more attention to your examples in future.
Jan 2, 2013 at 21:29 comment added Magellan I'm pretty sure your concerns have been previously addressed, some of them in comments to other answers in this question. Especially the bit about mandatory comments. And if you were active around 7-8 months ago, we tried a better FAQ and it got shot down by Corporate.
