This may have been discussed on MSO but I don't go there any more, so I wouldn't see it and don't believe we should have to search elsewhere for answers relevant to this SF. It happened again today b …

When I see what looks like spam by a new user I go check out their other answers. Very often they all promote the same product or service. In the early days I would only flag one such answer but disco …

You got downvotes from me because: You didn't ask a question, although sysadmin1138 has edited it to add a question since. I also cast a close vote on it for the same reason. You gave an answer to a …

Sorry but sometimes RFTM is the correct answer. We see far too many posts which would never have been required if the asker had simply done the right thing and read the documentation. Instead of crea …

"but cannot provide their proposed solution until the situation is clarified" pretty much covers it. Answers earn rep. Comments are not answers and therefore don't deserve rep (although sometimes I wi …

I don't see the problem. Maybe you need to adjust your monitor. While the contrast isn't as great as that on SO it's still more than adequate to make it obvious.

The biggest problem I see is that if someone starts editing a post but doesn't save it how long should the system wait until it's freed up again? If the time is reasonable, say a few minutes, and it's …

Noticing yet another password question this morning, albeit an old one, made me think that perhaps it would be worthwhile having the system place an automatic protection lock on all questions that hav …

From time to time things with a higher than normal level of importance and/or time sensitivity get posted here. e.g. The election and FAQ discussion. On a BBS such things would be made sticky to ensur …

While on the surface this sounds like a great idea it's not as attractive after giving it some more thought. Due to the diversity of what we work with I just can't see tags being a good way to go. Wh …

While on the surface this sounds like a good idea the reality is that we would need about a gazillion different templates, which becomes so cumbersome and difficult to work with that it would surprise …

As others have already made clear, your edit added nothing of relevance to the original answer. It was merely expressing your opinions. The original got to the point without unnecessary verbiage, so t …

From time to time I see questions or answers in which the poster has used something other than regular font size. This can look absolutely appalling. e.g. Stop an already running cron job Can the CSS …
