I lost 3000+ rep as a reversal
It is possible that someone serially upvoted my posts. I can't see it.

Are duplicate questions hidden now?

That means that these questions will not be …

I did not pass this review audit.
I voted "Looks OK". I do not see anything criminal there. The answer is badly formatted but is not even incorrect. And I am always notified by moderators that incor …

Why did I not get a half-bounty?
It seems that I know the reason.
The answer was posted before the bounty started.
It does not matter when it was upvoted.
Half-bounties are awarded only for answers posted after the bounty starts.

What is the difference between "delete" and "recommend deletion" votes?
I can't quite get how the Low Quality queue works.
How many delete votes are needed to delete an answer and is any "Recommend deletion" votes are enough?
And what is the difference between these vot …

My thread is too broad, why? - "Safety of software installation from source code"
First of all there are no "threads" at AU. You posted a question that is not answerable.
It is impossible to give a rule that will help to tell if some source code at some site is "safe".

Flag vs Close, when to use?
When you are a 3000+ user and try to flag a question to close, you automatically get redirected to close menu.

Lower rep users can only flag.

It is a correct behaviour to convert a comment to an answer and mark it as wiki if the answerer did not write an answer themselves.
Nothing is wrong. I do it too.
