Except the moderators are unpaid and they don't hurt much more than egos ?
Also Stack Overflow is not supposed to be a public service unlike police (is supposed to be), so the moderators are not accountable to you, only to the site guidelines (which you appeal to I guess)
Given the value it gives to society, it should be turned into a public service before some rich prick takes it over and turns into a cow to be milked or a self-aggrandizing venture.
- Turing_Machine 3y ago> Except the moderators are unpaid and they don't hurt much more than egos ? Read again. It has nothing to do with "ego". By allowing their "moderated" threads to continue polluting search engine search results, they are wasting my time. They are wasting the time of everyone else who has a similar question and makes the mistake of clicking through an SO link. I would not be at all surprised if they got downranked because people at Google were tired of SO wasting their time.
