Appealing to the fact that a moderator disagrees with other users on a matter of policy, and a controversial one at that, is weak sauce. Try to find better arguments.) | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 19:42 | comment | added | Najib Idrissi | @zyx I don't know why you're stirring s*** up in a two-week old thread (on Christmas of all days), but here we go: the moderator in question didn't state publicly that he thought the question was off-topic. MK did. It's voting to reopen a question that one believes is obviously off-topic which means one doesn't understand the site, not simply reopening that particular question. Way to twist my words... The wording of "The question is obviously off-topic" seems rather unambiguous to me, and in any case I'm interested in MK's explanation of this, not your far-fetched explanation. Good day. | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 18:23 | comment | added | zyx | @hardmath, is this another example of MK-baiting? See the numbers in the preceding comment. The number of reopen votes (vs close), and every other indicator, was in favor of the question at the time when MK added his vote. That the question was closed more often than open was due to moderators cutting short the vote processes to force closures, despite the popularity of the question. In one case a moderator did the opposite and opened the question, but always the reopen voters bore an artificially higher burden. | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 18:16 | comment | added | zyx | @NajibIdrissi, one of the reopen voters was a moderator. Are you arguing he doesn't know how this website works? That question has 14 reopen voters versus 8 close voters. And 70 upvotes for each downvote, on the question. And 35 answers; I stopped at 10 when counting the number of those answers from experienced site users. I assume when MK says obviously off topic he means "the question is closed because it is an obvious target for the sort of people who like to declare questions to be off-topic", not because he shares that proclivity or thinks the question does not fit the website. | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 18:03 | comment | added | Najib Idrissi | @MakotoKato The question is obviously off topic Then why did you vote to reopen an "obviously off topic" question? Do you understand how this website works or are you just pushing buttons randomly? | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 17:27 | comment | added | hardmath | @MakotoKato: This is the sort of selective presentation of facts that detracts from the credibility of your arguments. You were the fifth vote to reopen on Dec. 4th, so you know perfectly well that Najib's example was valid until you actively changed its status. | |
| Dec 10, 2015 at 17:18 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @NajibIdrissi "currently the most upvoted question on this site has a score of 912 but is closed!" The question is obviously off topic(and it is open now). So it's not an example to support your claim. | |

| Nov 29, 2015 at 19:07 | comment | added | quid | @MakotoKato it is the first in this list math.stackexchange.com/questions?sort=votes You might have been able to find it yourself. | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 18:05 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @NajibIdrissi "the most upvoted question on this site has a score of 912 but is closed!" Could you show us the link to it? | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 8:12 | comment | added | Najib Idrissi | @MakotoKato The "reps" a question acquires is irrelevant when it comes to it being open or closed -- currently the most upvoted question on this site has a score of 912 but is closed! So if even that is not enough to get a post reopened, a mere score of 22 won't do either. No, it was a unilateral moderator action that reopened your question. | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 2:17 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | If you read the edit history of the question, you can see that the moderators removed the lines telling the facts that are inconvenient for them. Moreover they locked the question to avoid further edits. | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 1:07 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @AsafKaragila "It wasn't reopened by the community." See the reps it acquired. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 22:21 | comment | added | JRN | @MakatoKato, do you think this unilateral act of a single moderator is an abuse of moderator power? | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 18:42 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Makoto: Look at the history of that post, it was reopened by two users Leonid and Bill. Nothing can be reopened by only two users without some sort of special powers, while nowadays people with gold badges can close/reopen duplicate unilaterally, this was neither a duplicate nor available at the time of that post. Since Bill was in fact a moderator at the time, it is clearly an act of a single moderator overruling 5 regular user's opinions. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 18:37 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @AsafKaragila How do you know that? | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 18:07 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Makoto: It wasn't reopened by the community. It was the unilateral act of a single moderator. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 17:28 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | "However the practice of complaining on Meta about how the community treats your posts on Main strikes me as calculated bad-faith." Because you don't know the details of the bullying. For example, this question was once closed as being too localized. math.stackexchange.com/questions/183522/… This was reopened just because I opened a meta thread. | |
