Meta › Feature requests site feedback wiki post translation

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Staff post. Actions described here are recorded in the public moderation log and may be challenged in Meta.

Confirming post #88 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person.

That is exactly the objection, and it is not a refusal on principle. Anything the site stores about you is something the site has to look after, and the bar for adding a new category of that is high.

That is my reading. Someone else read the same page differently and was reasonable.

h.castellanos, post #36: Answering the question post #32 raises rather than the one it answers. I would use that constantly. The objection is presumably that it is data the site then has to hold and protect for no benefit to anyone else. One case, stated as one case. Go to post

I had written a reply contradicting post #90 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

Then the honest version is a comparison of the record shapes rather than the scores. How many results, over how long, from which services. That I would use.
