When 2 (or more) users keep voting mostly for each other with no apparent reason (ie, I spend all my votes on a active day here in the site, but they are given to random users) the system has a bad te …

Do we still close duplicates with no answer? Yes. If both questions have no answers and one of them provides more detail, do allow some self judgement on which should be the dupe of what.

Not sure about how often it happens but this question started out with a bit rude tone and words. You can also see the same with some answers given on the website. If I am talking among people that I …

Please feel free to flag questions that were closed because of collective (bad) judgement or are about to be closed (if a mod closes and then re-opens the same users cannot vote again to close), we ca …

The whole thing is trash. There is a lot of immaturity and noise on the whole thing, both the question and the answer. Users of Ask Ubuntu need to focus a bit more on the quality of their posts and …
