I've had my jimmies rustled by what felt like over-zealous deletion of my content on SO. A strict moderator culture seems to have developed there. It may well make sense, to prevent the site bloating up with low-quality content, but it was pretty annoying at the time.
- IshKebab 9y agoI don't think it's about low quality content. That is the intent of the rules, but the overzealous application is because a) the people that spend most of the time enforcing rules obviously love enforcing rules, and are probably the kind of people you don't want doing it, and b) they tend to zip through the review queue and don't really consider questions fully. Especially with the "too broad" or "not clear what you're asking", often it is just that the reviewer doesn't understand the question because it isn't something they are knowledgeable about. Despite its flaws it's still the best option.
