Is this site an appropriate place to ask about Wine?

but obviously this doesn’t apply to your own posts

for example targeted editing is not allowed

i more meant to say “you can’t target yourself”

Ah ok

even upvoting

Any action that is done repeatedly against a user is harassment imo

Right I get that

@XanderHenderson it’s not targetting

...don’t you?

@amWhy it’s only targeting when you harass users. Your supposed to constantly go back and self-moderate. Make sure everything is still allowed.

@XanderHenderson I wasn’t finding PSQs quickly enough by looking on the main page so I started browsing any old questions I interacted with.

math.stackexchange.com/questions/360323/… PSQ

Possible PSQ. Hard to say for sure: math.stackexchange.com/questions/1834116/…

math.stackexchange.com/questions/4106059/… Complete nonsense

math.stackexchange.com/questions/1383278/… PSQ

math.stackexchange.com/questions/1546496/formula-for-sum-of-nn PSQ

sometimes I wish PSQ closures resulted in question/answer bans. Would make things SO much easier.

Yet another PSQ.

Also, seeing that blacklisted username be triggered made my day. I got a good chuckle from that.

LUL thanks @user21820, what a sleuth indeed!

@amWhy I’m not going to get into it. There have times where anger has been incited due to “wasting the time of meta”, so I’m going to just defer to it being a waste of time.

I’ll just drop it. Not worth inciting anger.

Mods won’t immediately yell at me for asking on meta?

@Peter I’m aware. But how I got a notification from a deleted post is beyond me. Deleted posts shouldn’t be editable or commentable.

@amWhy it’s the post we discussed yesterday therefore it is inappropriate to harass meta/mods.

I got a random notification from a nonexistent post. Is something wrong with the site or was it just deleted in the interlude? math.stackexchange.com/questions/4099566/…

Granted active contest questions should be deleted as off-topic, don’t cheat. I’m just not sure if past competition questions are worth adding via generic questions for the purpose of “repository building”.

They stated it’s context as a question?

Isn’t the fact that it’s a contest question context?

@amWhy ah yes! I totally agree!

Get the fricken tree branch out of my face and then I will see if that splinter is really worth squabbling about.

Until that is resolved I simply cannot form any other opinion.

@amWhy that I am not as concerned about since if the asker asked clearly “what is the geometry we obtain when negating the 4th postulate”, there wouldn’t necessarily be need to provide “motivation”. An attempt, perhaps, but such questions to me fall into a category of “asking what some field of math is” or “what category of math does X fall into”, and shouldn’t really need motivation since if it hasn’t been studied yet, that’s the answer. To me the appropriate close is “unclear”.

I will say I am mildly biased though in that I am intrigued in knowing of what sort of geometry negating the 4th postulate (the right angle one) yields. However, the question as written isn’t at all making it clear if that’s what they are asking and it sounds ludicrous.

@amWhy the question seems nonsensical to me.

@user21820 my misunderstanding then. I thought they meant perfect as a term Ramanujan used. Perhaps “unclear” is yet another reason to close.

But I think it is off topic in that historical questions shouldn’t be on topic.

@ParamanandSingh I think it isn’t so much opinion based as it is historically based. My reading of it is that it is asking why that formula is considered good. This is an objective question since they ask why Ramanujan considered it good. Either he explained his reasoning or he didn’t. Either way the answer is objective. They then ask if other equations match his criteria. Assuming his criteria is rigorous, then it is objective. If it isn’t rigorous then part of the answer would be stating that.

Though I have a feeling that’s the worst case scenario.

(Impeach them)

If it is the latter, we do have the nuclear option.

@TeresaLisbon well said. I like your opinion. I had no idea the mods weren’t in agreement. Is it a major split or a minority that disagree?

Anyway, can someone fix the PSQ issue already? It’s been years and that whole thing is still ongoing.

It is my opinion that if you can answer a question then you’re obligated to do so. To not do so and then answer a different question means you might get in trouble for discriminating between posts since you aren’t treating them equally.

@amWhy did you invite me here? If so, why?

@terdon I’m sorry for wasting your time.

Sorry. I will refrain.

@amWhy @XanderHenderson the passive aggressive behavior from both of you is getting excessive. You both need to cool it and be nice.
