Oh, nice. Just saw a post that actually got deleted by votes with zero moderator intervention.

Now we just need everyone to do that twenty-four hours a day seven days a week and I can take a break :p

I hope this won't bother you... But it is regarding this question, islam.stackexchange.com/a/938/885

I think the answer is violating this meta.islam.stackexchange.com/a/687/885

especially after the last edit. The user has added a wall of text of sunni hadiths that doesn't prove anything at all

@goldPseudo lol, I think I posted in the wrong chat room ? Sorry, If I did that. Haven't been here since a long time. Just looking for a suggestion here, Should I flag the answer or tell the user to edit it ?

i agree with your assessment.

i had removed all the Sunni hadiths earlier for exactly that reason, looks like he just decided to add them all back in with no attempt at improvement.

to be fair, there's no reason Shi'ites can't use Sunni hadiths as long as they're considered authentic (to Shi'ite standards).

Right now, I'm mostly concerned about the fact that a wall of Sunni hadiths with no attempt at context does absolutely nothing to demonstrate why Sunni's don't mandate praying on stone.

@Suhaib don't worry, it's the right chat room (i.e. this is the general chat room for the site).

telling a user to edit it is a poor substitute to actually editing it (as long as it doesn't fundamentally change the actual answer) but if he's just going to be rolling back edits anyway that won't really accomplish anything.

bringing it up on meta would be the best course of action. flagging for moderator attention wouldn't be entirely amiss, but would be much better if supported by a meta discussion arguing the actual issue and seeing how the community as a whole feels about it.

actually, looks like the entire wall-o-hadiths is not only of questionable relevance, but blatantly plagiarised. deleted.

author posted, twenty-nine people upvoted, questioner accepted, and nobody even thought to question the fact that half the posted hadiths were explicitly about combining the prayers and had nothing to do with praying on stone?

this is why we're still in beta, people. :p

plagiarism issues aside, how can readers be expected to trust the voting system if it's not voting for things that are actually useful?
