I had posted a meta question about this, which was downvoted once, so I assume that was the wrong place. I was pointed here from another chat. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on why my question may have been close voted? It surprised me, and I just want to know so I can avoid the issue in the future. math.stackexchange.com/q/4985624/444923

What do you think about this moderator self reopening?

That moderator posts low-quality questions (and questions without any clarity too), posts trivial answers, begs for those to be accepted to increase their reputation, downvotes others’ well-written answers to stuff way beyond his expertise, closes others’ questions for ‘lack of context’ when the questions are perfectly fine and beyond what he can answer, and is basically an expert in browbeating on this website.

The latest self-reopen is just another addition to his list of behaviours. I am not surprised at all. No one reading a thesis (in algebra/number theory/related areas) cares about a reference to a fact as trivial as when -1 has a square root in a finite field and hence, the question was deservedly, downvoted.
