SO and, in general, SE derailed years ago. The mods ruined these communities. If you want to see the worst of it visit ServerFault, it was horrible a couple of years ago. I think that's how long it's been since I've been to an SE site. The misplaced moderation drives potential contributors and participants away.
- collyw 13y agoI find the over zealous moderators as annoying as anyone else (I imagine), but its wrong to say that they have been ruined. Stack overflow and Server Fault are still damn useful sites, even with the moderators.
- robomartin 13y agoI say "ruined" from the perspective that a lot of people like me, who have expertise and are interested in sharing, refrain from doing so because we have exactly zero interes in dealing with moderator bullshit. The sites are useful. They could be better.
