| Oct 23, 2013 at 12:36 | comment | added | Oli Mod | I'm super-busy at work and can't really slug this out but I think we're looking at it from different angles. Mine is: How does closing a really popular question help the site? | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 12:31 | comment | added | Oli Mod | None, taken. The second time it was re-opened, it was purely by the community. But that process takes hours. Before it was first closed, it was the most popular question on the entire SE network. It's my prerogative as a moderator weigh up more than if a post is the best it could possibly be, and factor in how it affects our community. Pair that with my belief that it's a valid question and it's clear why I might act unilaterally. | |

Your reputation as well as that of Jorge, Seth, Radu, Luis, FossFreedom, to name but a few, does not depend on a number. It is based on your concrete actions to help this community as well as your (plural) leadership in the community. You are very valuable to the community. This question, however, is a slipper and, because you opened a meta question about it, I am being honest about it. No offence intended. | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 10:43 | comment | added | don.joey | @Oli you seem to miss my point and I feel I am wasting my time to convince you otherwise. I don't think the reasons you give to keep the question open should be applied to other questions. The question is primarily opinion-based (this is even mentioned in the answers, also cf. Jorge's cmt) and you reopening the question is awkward. I do not necessarily agree with BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft's remark, but you should at least have respected the community's decision, have opened a meta question and have left it to others to reopen the Q. | |

| Oct 23, 2013 at 9:45 | comment | added | Oli Mod | We clearly differ on opinion on what specific requires. I consider this specific enough, you want it razor sharp. FWIW the OP is talking about Visual Studio and that's how I aimed my answer. Unfortunately I haven't got 650 rep... There's a daily cap so on the day when I posted the answer, I missed out on 210 rep from the answer... Oh and 140 rep on other posts. Get over the rep thing. And I have spoken with another mod and they and other trusted users are welcome to give their opinion directly (or through here) of me or my actions. | |
