[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad asn for hostname in body, potentially bad ip for hostname in body, potentially bad ns for domain in body, potentially bad keyword in body (4): accounting assignment by arinagrand on askubuntu.com
I'm sure I'm not the first to wonder this... but why does Ask Ubuntu not have a migration option to Unix SE? A significant amount of questions are posted with an off-topic distro on Ask Ubuntu (often Zorin OS, Linux Mint, etc.). A migration option seems like a good thing to have, but in the list, I only see an option to migrate to Meta
@cocomac yeah I think there's a general fear that bad questions would get migrated
mods can migrate any question to any site, so if you see a good quality question that should be on another site, you can flag it and suggest it be migrated
@Zanna But why mods only? There is a reason there is a minimum rep needed to flag posts. Shouldn't that be enough to prevent moving bad posts? I get that custom flags work, but making it a default option seems easier
Migration paths allow for questions to be moved from Ask Ubuntu to other sites in the Stack Exchange network. The idea is that rather than simply closing questions as being "off-topic", then the questions can be moved to be the correct Q&A website.
These could allow us to keep our site on topic ...
First of all, lets remember the golden rule of the migrations:
DO NOT MIGRATE CRAP
That said, why don't we open the migration paths from AU and UL? There has been 10 migrations to UL in the last 90 days, here the stats:
The migration to UL has been rejected lately, which has been norma...
Currently, AU only has a defined migration path to Meta:
Why is there no migration paths defined for U&L SE, and possible the ElementaryOS SE as well? To me, it would make more sense to be able to vote for moving than closing questions related to non-official derivatives of Ubuntu - and I beli...
@Zanna Thanks for explaining! I know I've asked a decent ammount of questions, but as someone that has read a decent ammount of Meta SE (long before I made an account), but is also new-ish to Ask Ubuntu, being a relitively-active user (I've been flagging, posting, etc. fairly often), I've generated some questions, so thanks a ton to you and the others who have been so helpful and kind!
since this room is dedicated to Ask Ubuntu moderation, it also posts reports about Ask Ubuntu posts here
that message was deleted because the spam was deleted within 2 minutes (the time one is allowed to edit or delete one's chat messages) so Smokey deleted its own message since no further action was needed
