I should note that this wasn't closed by moderators, but instead just normal StackOverflow users. In fact, one of the mods commented on the question before it was closed (and did not close the question).
- billforsternz 10y agoGood point (upvoted), I would edit my comment but it is too late for that. My comment was a little snarky, but my greater point is that I don't like the excessive moderation culture that has developed there. Sure clear out the junk and spam, trim the paths and clear the weeds. But don't insist on a literal interpretation of excessively pedantic guidelines when the content is clearly of high quality and is being strongly upvoted as a reflection of that.
- kristianp 10y agoI don't follow what you mean, normal users are moderators, just they're just users with sufficient karma.
- caf 10y agoStackoverflow does have a separate concept of "Moderator", which is a voted-on position and denoted by a blue diamond next to their name.
