| Oct 25, 2014 at 2:02 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam That wasn't meant to be taken in any order... You are correct though. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 2:01 | comment | added | Seth Mod | You even say in your first bullet "New questions about Quantal 12.10 that only affect Quantal (e.g., APT dependencies, hardware, login, quirks, etc. issues) are off topic.". I don't see you asking for "proof" there. "proof" is extremely subjective and the majority of the questions we should be leaving open are extremely obvious, no "proof" needed. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 2:01 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam This isn't "demonstrate it isn't EoL" this is if it isn't specific don't close it. How hard is it? I'm really sick of this "PROVE it" herring. I must admit I don't remember seeing your Quantal PSA, and I agree with almost all of it, but especially bullet one (we have been doing that for a while now, but the close reasons didn't reflect it well, hence this question). Still, I'd hardly call Marco's comments "shutting down" ;) | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 1:59 | comment | added | Braiam | Oh, BTW, you have your priorities backwards: we "collection of useful content" which end with the by byproduct "help people with their problems". That's why upvotes on answers has double the reward than on questions. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 1:47 | comment | added | Braiam | I did, several weeks ago, pointed out that problem, and nobody listened to me, actually, the efforts were shut down. If what I said at the time was implemented we wouldn't be talking about this problem, so I'm kind of "I told you so". The problem is, that you are essentially saying that we should demonstrate that isn't EOL, where is OP's responsibility that they should fit withing the scope of the site, not ours. We already has many problems to start babysitting each and every question. That just don't escalate. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 1:32 | comment | added | Seth Mod | If you want to discuss when and when not to close questions that mention EoL releases you might want to start a new post. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 1:31 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @Braiam Lets use common sense. Did I try each and every one? No. But it shouldn't be a requirement. One look at either this or this should tell you, an experienced user, that neither problem is specific to the release. However, this whole "can you verify it isn't specific" is just a red herring. I'm not talking about not closing EoL posts, I'm talking about updating the close reasons to reflect the actual policy. | |
| Oct 25, 2014 at 1:19 | comment | added | Braiam | Lets ask the obvious question... are you (or the asker, for what matters) able to reproduce each of the behaviors in non-EOL, or non-Ubuntu+1 versions? | |

clarified that no policies are changing, just the wording that reflects the policies
