I stopped contributing too.
I'd add
- overly opinionated mods - a question can be clearly popular, useful and have some exceptionally good answers, but still get deleted because some new mod decides years later it's not a proper question. Similar happened to cause the removal of the whole of onstartups.
- No attempt to manage time and versioning. It's not a duplicate when all the answers refer to a previous OS or language version.
On documentation, I really don't want sub-topics (such as say C++ preprocessor topics), especially those with many, ordered by votes. I'd prefer one of the more "traditional" documentation layouts, but with social aspects, such as voted comments, and perhaps crowdsourced explanations. So for me great idea, poor implementation - lose the format built for Q&A and try again.
- nulagrithom 10y ago> No attempt to manage time and versioning This is super annoying when dealing with JavaScript, especially in a Node.js environment. Often times I'll see an answer using jQuery, and maybe somewhere buried in the comments someone will say "In ES6 you'll be able to `code`". I'm not sure what the solution to that problem is, but it's frustrating.
