| Feb 16, 2019 at 22:09 | comment | added | Ael | I see what you mean, but it just makes me even more convinced that we should talk about this, one way or another. | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 21:56 | comment | added | Upper_Case | @Ælis Perhaps. The issues that I'm hinting at are more about the approach this stack takes to things and less about individual incidents. They aren't catastrophic events, they just underscore some unfortunate dynamics. | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 20:58 | comment | added | Ael | Maybe you could try using a custom flag mod if you see a specific user or post being a problem? It might not be a perfect solution but it's still better than nothing in my opinion. | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 20:31 | comment | added | Upper_Case | @Ælis I have considered it, but ultimately decided against it. I may reconsider. Some of the issues have been brought up in other meta posts, but not really resolved. Some of them are impossible to discuss without calling out specific users and posts, which tends to produce hard feelings and backlash. Some of them I believe are unfixable and inherent to SE, but especially significant here at IPS. And some of them are problems without solutions, and the decisions we have made require tradeoffs that contribute to problems but aren't obviously worse than other solutions. | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 19:52 | comment | added | Ael | I'm a bit surprised by all you are saying here, have you consider writing a meta question (a different for each point)? I think it would be good to talk about that since you (and probably other) feel there is a problem with all these points (before you bring this up, I did not see all this but I will try to keep an eye out for it now that you mentioned it) | |

HNQ is certainly a part of that, but our presence or absence from HNQ neither created nor solved those problems (although some are exacerbated by being on/off HNQ). | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 19:08 | comment | added | Upper_Case | @Ælis As I said, this isn't really the place to get into all of that. But, as a light summary, some of the policies we have are unclear in both intent and presentation, many policies are unevenly applied, some application/enforcement of policies is heavy-handed and opaque (especially for regular users of other SE sites), problems with subjectivity and detail in both questions and answers are awkwardly integrated against the SE format, and there is some asymmetry in how much respect people feel they are owed compared against what they owe to others (askers and answerers, both). There are | |
