| Sep 5, 2023 at 23:02 | comment | added | Flimm | "Throughout this matter, there's been a significant disparity between your investment in "the question" versus "the argument" about the question." Please consider that the moderators are investing a lot of time in closing questions that the community doesn't want closed, and then not investing nearly any time answering "what details or clarity does this question lack". Isn't that weird? | |
| Sep 5, 2023 at 23:00 | comment | added | Flimm | "I acknowledge that your question is easily answered on Reddit and likewise" this doesn't justify closing the question is lacking details or clarity. We want questions on Stack Exchange that are easily found on Reddit. See my upvoted meta post about this: webapps.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4954/24544 | |
| Sep 5, 2023 at 22:59 | comment | added | Flimm | "You are not ignorant and have been answering questions about outlook-on-the-web for 5 years" This is not relevant to why the question was closed one iota. Experts are allowed to ask questions on Stack Exchange. | |
| Sep 5, 2023 at 22:58 | comment | added | Flimm | @BlindSpots Please note that the moderators have closed the question, leading to the question being deleted by Roomba, so it is any surprise that out of the two of us, only you have spent hours with the OP trying to improve the question? Also, the question didn't need improvement, it was already perfectly clear and detailed. Why did the moderators close it as lacking "detail and clarity"? Why are you avoiding answering this question? | |
| Sep 4, 2023 at 20:06 | comment | added | Blindspots Mod | @Flimm it costs zero effort for Yes it is. No it's Not. Yes it is! etc. Out of the two of us only one spent hours and hours with the OP trying to improve the question. You could clarify in more detail why the question under discussion is valuable to you. | |
| Sep 4, 2023 at 15:55 | comment | added | Flimm | The community needs these questions. Please stop closing them, especially when they are clear and detailed. | |
| Jul 21, 2023 at 22:59 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | "I closed your question because of a lack of detail and clarity. It remained closed as it wasn't appreciably improved" What detail is missing or what is unclear? | |
