@MartinSleziak That one is. There doesn't seem to be any specific rule for which pages are mod-editable or not
Jun 14, 2018 19:58
@LangLangC Done
Jun 9, 2018 16:01
@AliceD If that fits within the scope of Bio, then you can keep it, but if you think that it could be closed on your site, then feel free to migrate it over, it would fit here.
Jun 9, 2018 16:00
@Narusan I've renamed the tag. Thanks for giving me a heads up.
Nov 14, 2017 01:19
@Narusan Updated :D
Sep 17, 2017 22:22
@Narusan I think that there is a chance that this could work. Targeting experts is probably our only way to create a site that deters people asking low quality questions and giving low quality answers. However, we need the community to help too. Community moderation can be more effective than anything the moderators can do if we have an active community.
Sep 14, 2017 23:25
@anongoodnurse You too! Nice talking to you :D
Sep 14, 2017 23:21
@anongoodnurse I probably won't be taking any more chem classes until college, so I won't be able to take organic until then anyway
Sep 14, 2017 23:14
@anongoodnurse I think that we're only going to touch on organic chemistry this year. My sister took it, though, and said she really liked it
Sep 14, 2017 23:13
@JohnP Thanks! and good luck on finishing your degree :)
Sep 14, 2017 23:12
@anongoodnurse Thank you! My teacher's the main reason I like it so much
Sep 14, 2017 23:11
@anongoodnurse Probably chemistry
Sep 14, 2017 23:10
@anongoodnurse It's going well, just started back up again last week
Sep 14, 2017 23:09
Thank you so much! It means a lot coming from you :D
Sep 14, 2017 23:06
@anongoodnurse I do miss with working with you as a mod :(
Sep 14, 2017 23:04
No worries about the questions. I think it's good to be able to talk about the site :)
Sep 14, 2017 23:03
There have been a few times in the past couple of months where I've thought that maybe we stood a chance. Sometimes we had a few knowledgeable users who were giving really high quality answers and I really thought we'd start to get better, but it seems that the quality of the site inevitably degrades again.
Sep 14, 2017 23:00
Personally, I think that not being a medical professional in any way was a huge detriment to me being a good moderator
Sep 14, 2017 22:59
In general
Sep 14, 2017 22:57
And to be honest, I think we've really dropped the ball as a mod team
Sep 14, 2017 22:57
Regarding the two upvotes, I would guess that users either didn't read the whole answer or didn't care that the answerer plagiarized
Sep 14, 2017 22:52
Reading over that question now
Sep 14, 2017 22:44
@Narusan The only good(ish) way I could see is to ping them in chat, but that's tough is they haven't been active at all on SE in a while
Sep 8, 2017 01:15
@Narusan I just got back to school, so I'm a bit busy, but I'll be able to get that all updated by this weekend. Really appreciate it :D
Aug 21, 2017 21:55
That'd be awesome! Thanks!
Aug 21, 2017 21:39
After that, we can try to come up with better ways to get people to actually read it
Aug 21, 2017 21:38
He said that first, we need to improve our How to Ask page
Aug 21, 2017 21:37
@Narusan I've talked to one of the SE community mods and he offered some suggestions.
Aug 20, 2017 21:14
BTW, thanks a lot for all your help as an active community member recently. We as a mod team have been slacking, but users like you have helped Health SE a ton.
Aug 20, 2017 21:13
@Narusan I can try to get in touch with some of the SE community mods to see what they would think about implenting some of these ideas
Jan 10, 2017 21:17
@TheEnvironmentalist I agree with @Susan. I think that the original question is just too broad to rephrase without completely changing the intent of the question.

As for the QPD problem, I'm going to look into other sites to see how they've dealt with the same issue. Bringing back monthly or weekly topics to ask questions about is probably a good option. If we can get to 6 or 7 QPD we might have a good case for graduation.
Jul 20, 2017 16:33
@Shokhet We still definitely have some major problems that we need to fix, but I think that if we, the moderators, and the rest work a bit harder together to up the quality of the site, we can vastly improve this site's condition
Feb 16, 2017 22:37
@JIXiang I've deleted the comment thread. If it continues, flag the comments and we'll assess the situation again.

@ProgramFOX I'm fine with that.

@Emrakul Thanks for the notice
Jul 29, 2016 07:09
@Doorknob If we could somehow get 17 players, that would make for an incredible game.
Jul 23, 2016 05:12
Definitely need to communicate better this game :P
Jul 23, 2016 05:12
@Emrakul I'm in :)
Jul 5, 2016 18:30
Same here
Jun 17, 2016 21:25
Thank you for a great game so far everyone :D

@redredwine Oh wow, and those answers should've been deleted anyway. Thanks for pointing that out.
Aug 8, 2016 18:33
@Andy Do you still need the screenshot?
Aug 8, 2016 18:33
@redredwine Yeah, today there were 3 users that made about 5 posts together all using that site as a "source".
Jun 18, 2016 02:47
I'm pretty sure he's still the youngest
Jun 18, 2016 02:45
@QPaysTaxes Nope
