I've been browsing the unanswered questions, partly because Area 15 says: 71% answered: Needs Work – 90% answered is a healthy beta, 80% answered needs some work. However I've found some "unansw …

I've seen a few questions like this one which seem so broad as to be meaningless. My requirement is to read data from ibeacons near me using Arduino. Is it possible? Well, most things are possible, …

I don't really like auto-fixups. There are times when they drive you insane. You may overlook borderline cases. For example: " , " should be replaced with ", " because there are no cases where there …

A couple of days I flagged a question because it was an almost exact duplicate of another - and my "vote to close" was not accepted because the "other" so-called duplicate had not received an up-vote …

I made an edit a little while back (quite an extensive one, like yours) but while I was doing it the OP made a minor change. Since the OP can edit immediately, my edit was rejected. I think I tried ag …

I was browsing a question thrown up by Mr. Community when I noticed that one of the replies had been deleted by a moderator for plagiarism. I'm impressed that it was noticed, but how was that done? D …

I got a response from one of the Stack Exchange staff: For a very long time, we only had "modified" as a general "something touched this" indicator; no extra information on what. For even longer, we …

I've been chatting with other moderators about this. One suggestion was to revert the edited question (where the answer is) and ask the OP to make a proper answer instead. If this isn't practical (eg …

It's a well-known problem. I set up a web site a while ago: Snippets R Us! to address this issue. I've seen plenty of times a post that "this must be the problem" (posting a couple of lines of code) …

Stack Exchange considers comments to be ephemeral - that is, they may be deleted. Thus an "answer" which is just a comment is ultimately not helpful. However initially you may make a comment to test t …

I've unfrozen it. How can it be beloved and inactive at the same time? Dat Ha has a good point. It has gone recently for 32 days without activity. If it goes for 14 days without activity it is …
