Don't really listen to them anymore.

For example, if xnor, Peter Taylor, or one of the moderators votes to close it, it'll be closed immediately.

@MichaelT Music and Japanese were in the loop before we set the new criteria. Aviation hit "eligibility" on October 19th. All 3 had delayed graduations, the former because of the whole design thing and the latter due to the pileup of graduations from implementing design independent. We just ran Code Golf through the eligibility check though, and it passed, and probably should've passed a while ago. So we're looking into why it hasn't been flagged yet. — Grace Note ♦ yesterday

When you pass primitives in Java through methods, it passes the value, which means that you're passing only true or false, which never updates because it's just a value. If you make something like below, though, it should work: public static abstract class Repeat { public void loop(int c) { ...
