I actually like the strict style of Stack Overflow.
And i find the "Not Constructive" to be exactly that.
Yes, it can be annoying when a question is closed and you really wanted to discuss it, but the rules are quite clear on what is and is not classified as "Not Constructive", and the discussion should just move to some of the discussion threads instead.
And i don't know what you interpret as negativity?
I have never seen unfair or non-objective use of moderator functions?
- maggit 13y agoI spend a lot of time on that site, and like you I generally think the strict criteria are a net positive. However, I'd just like to add that I've seen lots of abusive language and misuse of powers to close/put on hold. Flagging of unnecessarily negative/harsh language is not in general followed up, which basically means that it is encouraged.
