I agree and would be tempted to expand the plea to: Look at what you're doing when you're reviewing things! We've seen a few dodgy closes and attempted-closes slip through since the review system came …

This question can be finitely answered with technical evidence and backing. It's not off-topic for being opinionated. Ultimately you could probably write a better question along the same lines that di …

The reason for closing as a bug is not just because there is (what should be) a better resource elsewhere, it's to make sure that people file bugs and subscribe to things. If there's a bug already, t …

It's a fairly interesting topic (to me) and I'd like to see people weigh in. It's rather a shame to see somebody trying to answer it when half a dozen guys are just trying to close it. If the problem …

I'm not against this in principle but if memory serves (I wrote the current version), we're within a couple of characters of the message limit. You'd need to dig out space for it out of the existing m …

Is this abandoned or just old and unanswered? The question looks okay though. If it's not possible to answer "How do I restore the default Ubuntu theme?" even for 14.04, we have bigger problems. There …

Well I'm reversing those decisions because yes, development is very much on-topic here. To be clear these two examples are borderline generic (there's little to do with Ubuntu here) and I'd welcome pe …

Let's consider the following statements: Bugs that aren't reported are unlikely to be fixed Developers aren't checking Ask Ubuntu for bug reports You're talking as if Launchpad and Ask Ubuntu users …

People trying to scramble onto a supported release should be given all the help we can muster. We shouldn't be closing them (as OT-EOL) The parenthesis there is just to indicate that they could still …

Firstly, separate the closure from the tag. They aren't the same thing, they didn't happen at the same time. Again, tagging something as status-norepro does not close it. The closure came from other p …

Yeah. It's not just about syncing Android - it's about syncing Android with Ubuntu. I'll push an edit to make that clearer.

I've reopened it but this should be something that's easier to just talk to Canonical about. I suggest you just ping them a quick email now and you'll probably know before an answer is posted here. J …

I generally agree. That Mir/Surfaceflinger question was awful before it was edited but there was a valid way of asking roughly the same question to get roughly the same answers that was on-topic. Whe …

You could always flag it and let the 10ks and moderators make the call. But you're already weighing up the right questions. Here's the full spectrum: Could it still be useful to somebody else? If it …

Reopened, per my comment on Braiam's answer: It's not asking for statistics, it's (as of 23 hours ago) asking if there are mechanisms for tracking how many downloads there have been. I agree that …
