@unforgettableid I forgot to tell you to favorite it before deleting it so you can find it again if you close it. If you have already closed it and you lost the URL ping me here and I'll give it to you.
@HodofHod Can you super ping him to see that?
Or @IsaacMoses Whichever of you two is actually here.
@HodofHod and @DoubleAA: Thank you. But the link HodofHod posted to my deleted question takes me to a 404 page. :) Luckily I left a tab open holding the deleted question, and I also opened a second tab holding a copy of my question at liveweb.archive.org . Also I use Firefox plus Interclue Lazarus to hold copies of old textarea content.
@jake Whoa! From their About page: The second difference [between them and Mi Yodeya] is that although stack-exchange does have a Jewish forum, unfortunately it seems to have attracted the modern orthodox community and their questions tend to be of subjects that our community would generally not talk about in public.
Question authors should be able to see the count of upvotes and downvotes on answers to their questions in order to better evaluate the answers: an answer with 100 upvotes and 100 downvotes is controversial, while an answer with 0 and 0 is not. (Vote counts are visible to those with 1000 reputati...
@DoubleAA Just looking thru your answers i see all these references to some (probably MO) book called "Shulchan Aruch" and not even a single reference any gedolei torah like R Chaim Kanievsky, Rov Eliyashiv, the Brisker Rov, R Amram Blau... how can you call that halacha?
Some aspects of the moderation job are obvious -- reviewing flags, cultivating site direction via discussions in meta, paying attention to first posts/edits/etc. Other aspects are not so visible; jobs well-done often fly below everyone else's radar. And the time commitment is only a guess.

@ anyone (not a mod), just out of curiosity, there should be a "locked" notice on judaism.stackexchange.com/q/17623. Can you see when the lock expires?

@DoubleAA Whoa. Is that for real? Somebody really thinks it's proper to break something the whole world uses just because his community doesn't want it? It's like prohibition on steroids.
@msh210 I don't see a lock notice, but I don't have an account there so maybe that's relevant.
@MonicaCellio I don't know if you're being satiric or not, but that question DoubleAA linked to is clearly a joke. Check out the questioner's profile on that site.
@jake Ah, so it's Purim Torah all year long then. I guess that's reassuring. :-) (But I'm guessing that if they keep that up, their site wouldn't still be active by next Purim...) Sadly, I have actually heard fundamentalists (of various types) advocate things like that in all seriousness, so while was I pretty sure it was a joke I wasn't completely sure.
@MonicaCellio @DoubleAA Sorry, no longer relevant: I've lifted the lock. (And I was referring to the question here (pre-migration), not the one there.)
I usually go to Mi Yodeya by going to yodeya.com (instead of judaism.stackexchange.com), because it's easier to type quickly, and m.y redirects to j.se. The last time I went to yodeya.com, however, it gave me this message:
503 Service Unavailable

Sometimes in response to a question/answer there is a long stream of comments which lead to another question. Right now there is no way to migrate comments to the new question. Perhaps such a feature would be useful.
hi all. I deleted my own question <http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/17641/should-i-do-easy-chores-for-my> in order to edit the title. Now I can't undelete it. Can someone with high reputation please undelete it for me?

As you can see, there is a listed number of helpful flags (well over 200 for msh210). However, as of now msh210 does not have a Deputy badge. We speculated that perhaps the listed help...
Are we voting to add moderators, or are we voting on a complete slate (so existing moderators need to nominate themselves if they want to continue)?
