| May 19, 2014 at 15:34 | comment | added | Braiam | @terdon I don't want them in the site. I don't want them in the site. I don't want them in the site. I don't want them in the site. I don't want them in the site. Is not the right place for them. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:33 | comment | added | terdon | It's only a "problem" if you vote to delete them. Just control yourself, take a deep breath and say "No!" to the delete button. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:32 | comment | added | Braiam | @terdon well, the problem is that you still can vote to delete them. Is a vicious circle. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam hmm, perhaps locking is the wrong term then. I am referring to whatever process adds this message to the top of the question. That is what I want, a clear message that this is a bad question and not welcome here but only kept for historical reasons. I thought that was added by locking the post but I may well be wrong. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:28 | comment | added | Braiam | @Rinzwind well, the one that did where moderators, so I presume they can still see the list even before deletion. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:27 | comment | added | Braiam | @terdon you don't seems to know how locking work. You can't vote, edit, add, remove, nothing. A state of eternal slumber, total stasis. Check it out again not even flags works. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | terdon | @Braiam locking does not prevent edits. There is no issue here. If they cease to exist, downvote the answer. Even better, just ignore these questions altogether. I don't really understand why we're bothering with them. I didn't even know they existed before yesterday. | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:23 | comment | added | Braiam | @terdon but a list isn't useful if it's not updated. I touched this topic in our previous discussion. What if suddenly all those IDE's, media players, etc. cease to exist? Should we have a truncated list that nobody can update? | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:16 | comment | added | Rinzwind | "They deleted effectively all answers, no questions asked, and moved everything to a GitHub repository." that seems impossible to me ;) I hope they moved everything to a GitHub repository first (or is this a clever plot to have the deleted?) | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:12 | comment | added | terdon | We don't want new additions, we all agree that such questions should not be asked here, so there's absolutely no point in adding new answers and bumping them to the front page. That also solves the "new contributions" problem you mentioned. Locking does not prevent corrections though, you can still edit the answers as you please. Your | |

| May 19, 2014 at 15:10 | comment | added | Braiam | @terdon but locking (as said in my question) has drawbacks: new additions are not possible, corrections neither. Also, the "new contributions" are very far between each of them, and plain crap. If you check the deleted answers in the list questions most of them are "I like Y too, because FDS". | |
| May 19, 2014 at 15:01 | comment | added | terdon | This is interesting and better than deleting. I'm not convinced it would work though, remember that SO users are much more computer literate than AU users. Everyone on SO known how to program (or is learning to) and github is a familiar tool for them. I'm not sure how useful it would be to the AU community though. I still lean towards locking the things, that way they're still there for the people who have favorited them and they clearly state that they're bad questions and we don't want new ones of that type. | |
