Jaami'at StackExchange al-Islamyya

data is fun.

i still need to learn how to actually write proper queries. i'm mostly at the point of "find something that does mostly what i want and tweak a line or two"

data.stackexchange.com/islam/query/197117/… <-- here's how our voting compares to the other religious sites

We have lowest up/down ration :)

not sure that's a good thing.

good that bad posts get downvoted, yes. not so good that we have so many bad posts that get downvoted.

Have you seen this? data.stackexchange.com/islam/query/4038/…

heh. old data.

the top-ranked question for me on that list is the one i just answered the other day. the stock options one.

<showoff>Do you mean the questions where I granted you 50 rep?</showoff>

Wouldn't it be nice if community♦ bumped those questions once in a while?

(I wonder if I can put ♦ into my username)

who are( الراسخون فی علم )which know verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning)or allegorical? base on this verse : هُوَ الَّذِيَ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ في قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُو...

Q: Do the mods have the right to abruptly close down questions based on bogus pretext?

12:43 PM

@Hamza Wa Alaikum salam

@Hamza The hadith mentioned in the question is inauthentic and Batil(باطل)/Munkar , the sanad is from Azzahree(الزهري) but some of the people in the few Asaneed of this hadith are people unknown (مجاهيل) , all of it's Turuq (طرق) are Da'eef

This question got abruptly closed down by a moderator wielding of executive power ! on non-clarity pretext which was rendered completely bogus at least after the edits I made (assuming that the pretext was not bogus from the beginning), and useful comments swept out with no explanation! This, I t...

Thanks @AlUmmat when you here such a thing you can't believe it that our prophet(saw) have said that and one more question what is Da'eef

@AlUmmat infatuated is angry on you!

@Hamza simply put, Da'eef is translated to weak

okay I don't know arabic sorry.

@Hamza :)

2:24 PM

@AlUmmat do you think closing this question islam.stackexchange.com/questions/13221/… is a good idea?

3:05 PM

@Hamza yes I do.

The questionnaire seems to be asking two questions at the same time, the first is a good one, the second one is asking about the supposed changing of the Mut'ah after the Prophet and how that can be justified, the second question, if asked alone, I would have closed as too opinion based, actually for the second part I think there was a question already asked in regards to that (not sure) so it would have been duplicate

@goldPseudo I want to divert your attention to BleedingFingers. This user is downvoting my answers for no reason. I mentioned a URL in an answer and quoted some text from that URL. He did not like it because he thinks I only copied and pasted it.

3:41 PM

@AlUmmat Concurred. I actually overlooked that second question. In fact the last line. Sole because the starting para said, for example. And I thought it was just an example and wouldn't be asking anything.

Can one retract reopen votes?

I doubt though.

@BleedingFingers I don't know, sorry

@Farhan moderators really have no control over who does or does not downvote anything, or why they decide to do so. what constitutes "useful" is very subjective.

unless it's a regular and consistent case of serial voting (which I'm not seeing any evidence of here), there's really nothing we can do.

My finals are over!

And I have found my lost flash disk that I lost 1-2 months ago. I am pretty happy today :D

i'm just happy i'm not doing school anymore. :p

I will be happy about that too soon in-sha-Allah

islam.stackexchange.com/a/9664/3487

truly spam?

offensive?

5:50 PM

@BleedingFingers i'd say yeah.

close to the line, but it reads highly anti-LGBT. combined with the fact that it's pretty much irrelevant to the actual question.

definitely warrants deletion as not-an-answer.

"rubbish" and "transgressors" cross the line

agreed

if it was actually relevant to the question, it could've probably been edited for neutrality without much difficulty.

but as it stood, i just deleted it and left the offensive flag in place.

@AlUmmat, that the question on mut'a would be "too opinion-based" is debatable. There are evidently those who disagree!

not sure which question you're talking about, but pretty much anything that has a known difference of opinion (e.g. mut'a) runs the risk of "too opinion based'.

unless it's asking for either one side or the other, or requesting a summary of all sides.

@infatuated and evidence which disagrees with those who disagrees, but I would still close as too opinion based, and yes it may be debatable. Really I am still unsure if there is even a duplicate question for that on this site, I haven't taken time to search

@goldPseudo summary of all sides seems too broad

infatuated

8:02 PM

@goldPseudo, as for the specific example of mut'a there are only two major sides to the debate. And if question regarding sectarian difference are to be dismissed as "too opinion-based" then there's a greater risk of abandoning a big deal of crucial questions on Islam as "too opinion-based". In fact, being opinion-based, so long as the sides provide their supporting reasons must not be considered unfit of an idea.
