I'm wondering about several synonym suggestions I made on meta on the tag management thread, here and here
Martin Sleziak made the point that there probably aren't enough active users on fubini-tonell-theorems to approve the synonym but there are many eligible users for finite-differences. How can I draw more attention to these proposed synonyms?
> This is legal so long as there is no interaction between accounts and they are not used to bypass limits of a single account (suspensions, daily vote limit, month question quota, post bans, etc.)
@ShiveringSoldier I'd say that the short summary quoted above is the important thing. If a user has several accounts and they upvote each other posts, that is a problem. If a user posts more question than the quote for a single account, that is a problem too.
If some account is used while the user is suspended, that is also problematic, etc.
Let's hope some moderator will see your question and give some advice on what to do. But perhaps a reasonable way to proceed could be to notify the moderators about your suspicion using a flag.
I see that @XanderHenderson was online not too long ago - I hope that it's ok to ping him just to let him know that there are a few questions in this room, where perhaps some input from the mods could be useful.
@ShiveringSoldier It's okay but pointless unless someone common interacts with them and takes away some rep...pointless because you can always ask a question unregistered
Yes, it is site dependent - some sites switched to allowing questions only from registered users. (I am not sure whether list of those sites is available somewhere.)
Example of a function for which contour inequality is equality? I know that it has to be a positive real valued complex function. But I can't find an explicit example.
@XanderHenderson Thanks for your help restoring that dupe closure. I think you should send a mod warning to that user not to do that again. It wasted some of my time (and yours) to update the dupe list again, etc. Unfortunately there are some high rep users that do this frequently when questions they answer are dupe-closed, so it is helpful to strongly discourage this.
The sad part is that the time needed to find good dupes far exceeds the time needed to post quick answers. So it's esp. frustrating when one has to spend even more time in order to restore the dupe links after they have been destroyed (with questionalble motives).
@Xander That's good to know. If only we could encourage users to forget about the gamification and concentrate on improving the site. Ideally we should be linking to and polishing older answers to FAQs instead of continually posting yet more quick (often poor) dupe answers to them. But the system doesn't reward such effort so it is little done (except by those who truly care about pedagogy and have thick enough skin to handle all the negativity cast on such efforts).
I got many downvotes today (-38 reputation, 19 downvotes). all 1-2 hours ago. It does look suspicious to me. I got no comments which told me what was wrong with these questions or answers. Should I do anything about it or can a moderator look into it?
Or should I post on meta about it? I think it is also likely that a person used multiple accounts to downvote me twice. I can provide further information if requested.
