@MichaelHardy my problem with that argument is this: the OP uses binomial coefficients. How does the OP define a binomial coefficient? I was first taught they followed from the binomial theorem, contrary to your claim of a lack of knowledge of the binomial theorem

I am not sure whether you'll agree but would it be possible (or even reasonable) to leave the OP some time to improve post before deleting the question.

@amWhy I'm not going to delete yet. I'd rather see if the OP responds to his/her meta post and does any attempt to correct first. I'll wait till tomorrow.

@Jack Why focus on questions/answers 6 months, 1 year and older? It's not a bad thing to do; but given the limited downvotes, close votes, delete votes any one user has available each day, I prioritize quick action wrt the most current problematic questions and answers, but also usually address a couple of older questions in a day.

@MathematicsAminPhysics Why? It doesn't quite make sense what you're asking. You appear to have thought that Godel's incompleteness theorem only follows from your $g$, when as mentioned in the comments, that is generally not the case. And the main question you've asked was whether or not you thought that the cited things relate to $g$. This isn't a well-defined question either; its like asking whether or not fish are related to trees.

If you came here to tell me that you prefer to do this in another room (and keep it hidden from other users), I can live with that.

There is a post on meta related to what happened yesterday in this chat room (and maybe in other rooms, too):

that's disruptive, it isn't people trying to keep you down. It's you pushing too hard on a community that listened to what you had to say, but politely turned it down

AJ Henderson

I'd suggest you atleast try to find a couple of other people who agree you are being mistreated before you consider this crusade of yours. Make sure you aren't chasing windmills

@aminliverpool - as an outsider to the Math.SE community, I think you might benefit from learning a bit more about how Stack Exchange sites as a whole operate before you jump to conclusions about the behavior you are observing. I understand your concern about noble ideas, but the down voting is quite certainly because people actually disagree with you

@aminliverpool If you have an issue with a deletion, your recourse is to post about it on meta. Reposting something that has been community or moderator deleted is not allowed, nor will making demands in chat help. Make your case on meta. If the community finds your case agreeable something will be done.

@aminliverpool Regardless, your rants cannot change anything. Even if the entire community believes something should change, if that something has to do with the ways someone personally does things, we cannot change that and nor can the mods (unless it is in clear violation of SE policy)

When you have some spare time, @MartinSleziak How do you include the tags, like you do in your last post?

@MartinSleziak: I just had an idea. If the active participants in CRUDE are owners, we can use the stars to highlight the posts that need attention, and then drop stars when they are completed.

Hence everybody loose their time, and that's why pushing him to work on a traditional real & complex analysis course (instead of questions beyond his level) is what is needed right now.

Hey guys. I think this question -- math.stackexchange.com/questions/1992400/… -- didn't deserve to be put on hold. Yes, the original incarnation was riddled with bad grammar (OP isn't a native English speaker) and was too biographical but I helped him trim his question down into a very specific book recommendation request. I don't think that it is more opinion-based than any other ...

@MartinSleziak As edit suggestions, I don't like them. As edits by users with the edit privilege, unless one goes on an editing spree and floods the front page, I wholeheartedly support such edits. When one visits on a mobile device, one is redirected from the standard page to the mobile version anyway, as far as I know, and on a proper machine the mobile version is unbearable.

And here is another one that is undisputably not an answer but my flag got disputed again. People processing the flags don't seem to be reading the question or answer...

Daniel Fischer

Sep 7, 2016 14:41

It's not literally the same thing, casting a flag is "doing it the wrong way", and casting a close vote is "doing it the right way". But apart from that, once you have the privilege, a close flag (be it duplicate, off-topic or whatever the flag dialogue offers) is converted to a close vote.

user147263 is gone it seems, very recently. (I do not stalk them nor even spend much time here most days, but coincidentally something weird happened that indicated the moment of the account being gone.) There may be hundreds of closed questions that previously had a single delete vote by them, and now have none (I am speculating but have reason to think it is plausible).

I can't delete my own post , because it has 2 answers(none upvoted). Is it right to ask one of the answers to delete their own post?

@MartinSleziak Too bad, but I guess the community has spoken then. The information I added to the OP indeed came from comments which are now deleted. I added this, at the time, because I felt that that info made it reopen-worthy. Anyway, I'll consider it "case closed" now.

gebruiker

Jun 6, 2016 15:18

Would anyone care to have a look at this question. It was closed as unclear what you're asking, but I strongly disagree with this. I'd say the whole point of the question is that the OP is trying to figure out how to define, the inverse of position. I instantly knew what he ment, so I'd say there's nothing unclear about what they're asking.

Let us hope that some question which were reopened after a post on meta do not reinforce the impression that tantrums and name-calling is a way to get question reopened.

One thing I consider when comparing these is the number of views. Questions with a higher number of views have proved to be better searchable, so they might be better as a master copy (minimizing the number of redirects).

Live Forever

Jan 30, 2016 04:36

On the other hand, when a recent question has much better answers than older ones, that should trump the views.

You will also find some English papers and [books](books.google.com/books?q="limes+superior") using this name. But that proves nothing, since many papers are written by people who are not native speakers.

I guess these two posts can be considered duplicates: Does a connected countable metric space exist? and Connected metric spaces with at least 2 points are uncountable.

@MartinSleziak No, it's not. Whenever the distribution of all involved quantities is known, and conclusions about probabilities are made, there is no statistics. Students typically tag [statistics] because their course is named so. Sometimes misleadingly named, just because Statistics is Useful In Real World), sometimes the course combines probability and statistics, and the question comes from the probability part.

Q: Why isn't CS functioning as MathExchange or StackOverflow?

I understand that all the forums serve different purposes, and they have their own moderators, rules and policies. But CS seems completely different to me, with respect to all the other forums I have used. The most significant difference that surprised me is that one will never get a solution. I...

I voted to close a couple as a duplicate of Complex numbers equation: $z^4 = -16$. Was not sure about Drawing $z^4 +16 = 0$; perhaps "drawing" emphasis makes it different from others.

this question - OP was satisfied by answers in the link provided in comments. I don't know which flag to use in such cases: its not a duplicate, is it? Can someone guide me?

Oct 17, 2015 15:28

Suggestion: if you can fix the issue with the post, or it already has been fixed, pick Edit option instead of Leave Open: in addition to being a Leave Open vote, it removes the question from the queue.
