^^ That should be in the next discussion whenever we do it.
Oh... it's starred.
Eric

lol :)

I think we should also discuss the state of the site and future promotion if we have the time
Mysticial
Mysticial
So yeah, are questions about on-going series that are unanswerable until later episodes constructive?
Eric
Eric
@Krazer Yeah, though whatever we decide should hold off for a bit so we can get a clear view of our unaided statistics.
JNat
JNat
@Mysticial they are not, but they will most likely have answers. So I'm not sure if they should be closed.
or maybe closed and reopened later is ok?

@Krazer I'm here now. Traffic messed me up.
Eric
Eric
Even the OP is unlikely to bother to go back and flag it to be reopened.
Krazer
Krazer
@LoganM Welcome :)
Mysticial
Mysticial
@Eric We've been holding off for a while anyways. I don't see a risk that we'll get shutdown at this point. So publicity stunts aren't high priority anymore.
Eric
Eric
The problem with closing and reopening is that no one will remember to reopen them.
Mysticial
Mysticial
@Eric exactly
And not too many of us have reopen powers.

So, when do we start?
Mysticial
Mysticial
Not like we'd want to rely on flags either.
Madara Uchiha

Are we still waiting for someone?
Krazer
Krazer
@JNat I think we should leave a comment, and keep it open
Mysticial
Mysticial
nope
JNat
JNat
@Krazer and protect

@JNat I don't think we need to go that far
Mysticial
Mysticial
@JNat I don't think it's necessary, unless it attracts a lot of crap.
One or two speculative answers is fine.
JNat
JNat
@Mysticial ok, agreed
Eric
Eric
Our scope is bound to draw in some speculation, whether we like it or not.
Mysticial
Mysticial
And serves the purpose of showing that the answer isn't known yet.
Eric
Eric
We just don't want answers of guesswork and "I think"s.

A lot of the times, I get to a point in the show, and I'm like, "huh?!?! Did I miss something?"
If I find a question asking the same thing, and all the answers are speculative. Then I know I didn't miss anything.
And the "Huh!?!?!?!" is correct.
Eric
Eric
I guess that raises the question: Do we keep answers that are outdated?
Let's say we have an old, outdated answer, and then a new, correct answer comes.
Most people would downvote the old answer.
Krazer
Krazer
I think it's good to ask these questions now so ppl come back and check later
JNat
JNat
@Krazer yes, that's good
Krazer
Krazer
@Eric I think we should make a comment that it's out dated
Mysticial
Mysticial
@Eric I'd say keep them, but add a "as of episode X...".

give the answerer time to change their answer
if they do not, you can add a new answer with a note of the change
Mysticial
Mysticial
"The answer was finally revealed in episode X: ..."
Eric
Eric
I'm okay with the "As of episode X" as well, because then it's not a "wrong" answer. And it shows that it's dated. But perhaps a comment to the answerer as well.

A: What are the feathers on Rei's neck?

KrazerSo far, it's been revealed that it indicates how many Empowering Arrows she can fire and that she only has twelve of these arrows available.

^^ So rephrase that to "as of episode 7"
8 actually... episode 8 didn't reveal anything either...
JNat
JNat
@Mysticial ok, I agree with that
Krazer
Krazer
I added the former
JNat
JNat
Mar 2, 2013 18:16
so we'll need to keep an eye out for answers saying "so far, we know...."
Eric
Eric
@JNat Yeah.
JNat
JNat
and rephrase them to include episodes/chapters number
Mysticial
Mysticial
Ok. So the concensus is: For questions that aren't answerable until later episodes:
1. Keep open.
2. Allow speculative answers of the form, "as of episode X.
3. Real answers will come later when it is revealed.

Eric
Eric
@Mysticial Agree.
Mysticial
Mysticial
Cool
JNat

Mar 2, 2013 18:17
agreed
Mysticial
Mysticial
I'll do the meta post on it if it's all good.
Krazer
Krazer
@Mysticial As of Episode X/Chapter Y
Mysticial
Mysticial
@Krazer yeah
Eric
Eric
@Mysticial Go for it.
JNat
JNat
so this is settled
