| Jan 2, 2023 at 11:25 | comment | added | dly | @Joe I often have the feeling that you guys are very strict. Not aggressive, but strict. As a long-time member I don't mind, unless my comments magically disappear for little to no reason. I know what I have to expect when coming here. New users don't feel welcome, though. This is bad for a small SE site, because the community won't grow when newbies get scared away. Bad posts get closed/deleted too often instead of editing them into something better. But that's just my opionen. It's not necessarily a fact, only because I see it this way. | |
| Dec 31, 2022 at 19:10 | comment | added | Joe Mod | As for strict moderation, I very much hope you don't feel that we have strict moderation here - this is one of the looser sites I am on moderation wise, at least as far as I see it. We do have to be reasonably aggressive about removing clearly inappropriate content on a site that gets very little content in the first place, though, or else it leads to more inappropriate content. | |
| Dec 31, 2022 at 19:08 | comment | added | Joe Mod | I don't mind it being opened, the real reason I (and Nij) closed it was that it's effectively a duplicate of a Meta Stack Exchange post, but that's not possible (to close-as-duplicate on another site) so I was just using that as the easiest way to get past that technical restriction. | |

| Dec 28, 2022 at 21:45 | comment | added | dly | I somewhat agree with the OP. Getting stuff deleted is always a pain in the back. And when something gets deleted that at least seems to be correct, a clarification definitely helps. Not everyone is used to the extremely strict moderation on this site. | |

| Dec 17, 2022 at 9:58 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Nij the answer addressed the question and had a source. I replied to the comment accordingly | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 9:00 | comment | added | Nij Mod | Low quality answer; issue was mentioned in comment; issue not resolved; answer deleted. Very definitely and entirely routine. | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 8:59 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Nij that is not a routine deletion. | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 8:38 | comment | added | Nij Mod | That is not normal practise, and I see no reason for a routine deletion to need further commentary. | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 6:45 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @Nij I'm asking for the mods here to leave a comment when deleting an answer, not changing the SE system | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 6:35 | history | closed | NijMod | Not suitable for this site | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 6:35 | comment | added | Nij Mod | This hasn't changed in 9 years and asking yet another duplicate, on a site that isn't Meta no less, will not help. | |
