Hi everyone, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but can someone tell me where I should knock or send a message if I have to seek the attention of the site moderators/admins?
@AIQ Depending on how private it is, you can either "flag fr moderator attention" one of your posts and ask them to open up a mod-only chatroom where they can invite you, or just simply ask in this chat.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Its not that private. Three of my answers to 3 different questions got a downvote today all at the same time. I am just wondering why that is the case as no reasons were given (no comments). I am absolutely 100 percent okay with getting a downvote if my answer is in anyway counterproductive or sending a wrong message, but I would appreciate a simple comment as to why it is wrong. That way I can learn too.
@AIQ 1. No one is under any obligation to explain their up- or downvotes. That does suck sometimes but it's just how things work and they can't work any other way. 2. If it was in rapid succession, it might be serial voting, meaning they didn't like you rather than your posts. If so, it's not allowed and it's likely to be reversed within two days. If it wasn't by then, you can flag one of your posts for moderation for them to investigate. Make sure to explain why you suspect it'd be
. . . serial voting, and anything that helps your case.
I know that this expression is used to mean that someone isn't really paying attention to what your saying or maybe it's over their head. But if I want someone to ignore something bad that other people are saying about that person can I say: "Just let it go in one ear and let it out the other" or ""Just let it in one ear and out the other". Does it sound idiomatic in this context?
@It'saboutEnglish that’s more for accusing someone of not paying attention when you are giving them information. Cowper’s suggestion of “Don’t take it to heart” is a good one, although I wouldn’t put “close” in there
another suggestion might be “Don’t pay them any mind” or “Don’t sweat it” if you’re looking for something colloquial
