Sep 12, 2017 at 4:49 comment added user57 @tuskiomi see my answer below. I agree - it's community driven, but stack exchange itself is the hand brake and makes the final decisions
Sep 12, 2017 at 4:49 comment added user57 @Catija the time it's been posted is sort of irrelevant - especially now, seeing it's getting so much attention.

Sep 11, 2017 at 20:31 comment added user20 @NVZ That's why I have hope... I state right before that "I think that this is a great question that would benefit much more from content that users could contribute to it"

Sep 11, 2017 at 20:26 comment added NVZ So you want it reopened because it's not migrated or deleted, is that it?
Sep 11, 2017 at 20:16 comment added user20 @NVZ I disagree. I think what's watching over the sites causes a major loss of agency. (take this as an example).
Sep 11, 2017 at 20:07 comment added NVZ @tuskiomi nope, it's actually the other way around. Stack exchange is community driven, but SO has its hand on the hand brake, is the correct version. Not everything is community driven here. This is to avoid chaos. Some agency should watch over the sites to maintain some form of order. Also, this is not a non-profit organization.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:49 comment added user20 @Catija I am not denying that i'm making this into a CPO, as stated, it's what the meta is for. Again, I don't think Robert's status is relevant. Stack exchange is community driven, not community driven, but SO has its hand on the hand brake. As for the time difference, You're right, that's a big factor, esp. when the site is new, but If we can't uphold an answer because of a simple time difference, then the meta becomes very moot, with people making responses months, years after other answers, and then nullifying them.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:46 comment added Catija Mod The fact that Robert not only posted that answer but also closed all of the questions about Stack Exchange implies that this is an official decision, not one that's up for debate... and the reason I posted my first comment is that, if you really want to debate this, you need to address the concerns addressed in Robert's answer there.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:44 comment added Catija Mod Even general topics can turn into a CPO issue. This exact issue is one of them... You're making a CPO argument for why this should be allowed when someone who works for SO and is one of the leads on this topic has said that it is preferred that we not do it. It's worth looking at the dates, though. My answer is much older than Robert's (in the scale of this site)... 4 days into public beta vs 20. All of the votes on my answer happened before Robert posted his.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:38 comment added user20 @Catija the big sales-point of SE is that it's whatever the community wants it to be. right now, your answer, the one with more points than the combined sum of the others is what the community thinks. With all respect to Robert and his work, his answer isn't as relevant as yours. I do think that the "CPO" you're referring to does have very much to do with opinion, influence and action in many things, including most of SE. as for the other part, the question still fits the on-topic bill, As it's about a general topic, not a specific grievance.
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:32 comment added Catija Mod What? That has nothing to do with opinions... "court of public opinion" has nothing to do with opinions, if you're talking about my answer (read the link there). Robert has explained on that question why this is what they think should be done...
Sep 11, 2017 at 19:29 comment added user20 @Catija I think that the answer there is that it can't be opinion based.. I'm not sure how opinion based this question is, not very from what I gather.
