Inconsistent date in close description
related from MSE: Post was closed before it even existed. If you hover over the dates, you can get an exact date, the question was closed one day after it was asked. The time stamps are strange, I don't understand it myself so read the link.

Suggested improvements to "Markdown help" and formatting help
One already got tried meta.askubuntu.com/questions/89/… the problem with meta posts is they get lost over time so not many people read them. You could add a new answer about code formatting to give it a bump.

See: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/368285/… Ity was removed but it was so unpopular that it may comeback one day.

Can I unsubscribe from comments to my answers?
You can't block people or disable comments yourself. If someone is ranting on your posts, flag the comments for a mod to look at, if it is that bad the mod can disable comments or take appropriate action.

Cannot flag as duplicate if there are no upvoted or accepted answers
AFAIK the rationale behind this limitation is because, if a question has an upvoted or accepted answer then it will be useful to the OP of the question being closed and likely provide them with an answer to their question. I think this is just a hold over from when SE was much smaller, the current volume of questions here makes it seem a bit counter intuitive. I can't seem to find a source for this but I am sure I have read about it in the past, if I find anything, I will post it.

Why is information about triage and help and improvement review queues there in help center?
I am just going to leave this here, so if anyone is following this question, they can see it on meta too meta.stackexchange.com/questions/366993/…

I guess SE just copy / paste the help center across all sites, for consistency probably, so I don't think the mods here could change it if they wanted.

Questions regarding official chat rooms' ownership
AFAIK any room owner can make any other user a room owner, being a mod doesn't matter, I guess the main chat could be different. You can even make your own room that you own askubuntu.com/help/privileges/chat-rooms

Is there any official "Ask Ubuntu" color defined?
Here is the official colours of Ubuntu design.ubuntu.com/brand/colour-palette Once up on a time, this site used the official colours but that seems to have stopped since the network design changed. If I was you, I would just use the proper Ubuntu colours and not worry too much about the sites colours.

A custom filter for excluding posts with specific tags?
@Kulfy It dosn't matter, long as OP got helped.

Please keep Corona away from AskUbuntu
If you hate hats you can open the snowflake menu and choose "no hats for me" at the bottom, you won't see them anymore. If you just hate those specific hats and want them removed you will better off taking it to take it too meta.stackexchange.com Personally, I thought the social distancing hats were pretty funny.

The 'Raiders of the Lost Downboat' chat room
OK I used this method meta.stackexchange.com/questions/277980/who-started-a-chat-r‌​oom to check the owners posts and it seems the original creator was Mateo based on the messages. chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=owners&user=&room=3877

The 'Raiders of the Lost Downboat' chat room
I guess only room owners have enough info to answer in a detailed way. Have you been to the room and asked the owners to answer this?
