@JimG btw my comment there is an honest question. If you are certain your question will be closed, why not come in chat and ask people how you can improve it before posting it? Why waste everyone's time if you are certain?
 
2:35 PM
@YannisRizos Yannis - Totally agree with you.
 
Can you add markup to the bounty note?
I'd like to stick a few bounties on [data-structure] tagged questions and just provide a link to the contest in the notes to draw attention to the contest itself
 
@Rachel I don't think so...
Let me check.
@Rachel Checked. No you can't.
 
Darn, OK
 
@Rachel Don't despair, it seems I'm wrong ;P

A: What markdown formatting features are available for Bounty remarks?

Geoff DalgasBounty notices will support our markdown mini format using the same format as we allow for comments. The following will be allowed: _italic_ and **bold** text, inline `code in backticks`, and [basic links](http://example.com).

Links should work
 
2:58 PM
@YannisRizos Thanks
 
@Rachel Thank you, bounties are a great idea. Do you think people will mind if I set one or two myself? Being mod and all, don't want to be seen as influencing the contest...
 
3:10 PM
@YannisRizos Naaah in the gaming contests, bounties were fair game
 
@Rachel Well if there's a precedent...

Q: Are trees organised by a "firstchild, nextsibling" structure? If not, why not?

ammoQUsually, tree data structures are organised in a way that each node contains pointers to all its children. +-----------------------------------------+ | root | | child1 child2 child3 | +--+------------------+-----...

Argh, this is the one I wanted to set a bounty on...
Well, next week I guess.
 
Might get some other good questions asked too
 
Might... Let's hope we do.

@Rachel I think everyone's been more than accommodating in and tolerant of your constant attempts to change Programmers.SE to be the site you want it to be, but I personally draw the line when you take answers people gave you in good faith and twist them further your own agenda.

I don't know where you got that the site changed from its original proposal without the consent of the community from any of the answers in the question you cited as proof of that, as it's not even close to being accurate. Even just a cursory look at the meta questions from around that time period would be enough to disprove the statement.

The issue is that if we go back to the old site or something like that, we'd be closed. Plain as that.
 
user2334
All for the sake of a half dozen people who for some reason stick around for months and months at a site they hate
 
4:49 PM
@MarkTrapp I'm not trying to change the site scope, I stopped doing that after I posted the question about the history behind the change from NPR to conceptual software development, and finally realized the extent of the scope change
