| Jun 20 at 14:22 | comment | added | Damir Tenishev | @Nij, I've edited the question and got no response. This "guess what we need" game is quite counterproductive when questions are closed without any comments with very generic reason. Hard time when people don't recognize their mistakes (misleading guides) and use force to persuade instead of improving and helping. And "it's the appropriate option for you" sounds too personal. Would be much better if people in such circumstances say ""it's the appropriate option for this particular case". | |
| Jun 19 at 22:50 | comment | added | Nij | Reworking the same question is still not a new question. Xander Henderson has already made the process clear: edit the existing post and flag it for action. Just because it is listed as an option, does not mean it's the appropriate option for you. | |
| Jun 19 at 12:02 | comment | added | Damir Tenishev | @Nij, why then it is stated as the recommendation for actions for the closed question? This is totally misleading. When I see this, I consider this as a step to do in the specific situation and I follow. Of course, I can post a new one question not related to this, this is too obvious to state in the comment for closure. So, I reworked the question and reposted a new one. | |
| Jun 18 at 23:09 | comment | added | Nij | Posting the same question again, is not posting a new question. | |
| Jun 18 at 19:05 | comment | added | Damir Tenishev | @XanderHenderson, in the closing message of the Priority of subscript and superscript operations it is said: "Add details and clarify the problem you’re solving. This will help others answer the question. You can edit the question or post a new one ." I did exactly as I was asked. I edited the question, got no reasons for not reopening and posted a new one. What of those did I wrong? | |
| Jun 18 at 5:47 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | OK, I found this at the help pages: "questions may only be marked as duplicates of unanswered questions (a) on meta sites, (b) when the questions share the same author, or (c) when closed by a moderator." So, clause (b) applies here, as the questions share the same author. | |
| Jun 18 at 0:13 | comment | added | peterwhy | @GerryMyerson I could vote for that (and was the first voter) because both questions are from the same author. The closure notice also instead says "This question already exists:", not "This question already has answers here:". | |
| Jun 18 at 0:07 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | It does seem odd to me that users were able to close a question as a duplicate of a closed question that had no answers. I thought that was not possible. | |
| Jun 17 at 17:40 | comment | added | Damir Tenishev | @XanderHenderson, so should I post here another request to reopen the original (first) closed question separately or can we consider this request under this answer here? (I copied text from a new question to the old one). How to get the old one reopened or at least get comments what's wrong with it? | |
| Jun 17 at 17:39 | comment | added | Xander Henderson Mod | I am telling that, from the point of view of moderation, if you have a question closed, then post a new, nearly identical question, the new, nearly identical question is going to be closed and deleted. You need to improve the original question, not post a new question. I am sorry that no one has explained how you can improve your original question---but explaining how to improve your question is not part of my job description (as a moderator). | |
| Jun 17 at 17:36 | comment | added | Damir Tenishev | @XanderHenderson, I did so if you look at the changes history and this didn't help. I had no idea what people what from me and why they consider the question bad and what details and clarity they needed. Why people can't explain at least after edit what is wrong with the question? Can you? | |
| Jun 17 at 17:02 | comment | added | Xander Henderson Mod | When you are asked to improve a question, do not post a new question. Improve the old question, using the edit button. | |
