| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:49 | comment | added | Jason C | Let me be clear that I am not propping up my question and have no arguments about blatant home networking being off-topic here after reading comments here and posts on meta. I asked the question on SU yesterday immediately after seeing the advice, received some answers, solved the problem (for the most part), and all was well there. My question does not need to exist on NE at all. But, I have always actively confronted seemingly biased (for any reason) moderator actions on SE and non-SE sites alike, and will continue to do so, and I feel it is a productive use of my time. | |

@JasonC, the community seems to support my rollbacks. Your next channel to complain seems to be an email to [email protected]. I think you should take a day or so to consider how important this is to you... honestly, I think you're getting into attention-diva mode and you should consider a more productive use of your time.

| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:45 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | @JasonC, having worked with Mike over the past year+, I will state that you are wrong. I would further say you are deliberately misinterpreting the actions of the moderator to prop up your position, despite any explanation from any other source. A second moderator (myself) agrees with the actions taken in this case, as does another non-moderator member of the community who has chosen to provide input. No one has taken your side. At this point, it is clear that further discussion is not helpful and barring any new relevant information, I won't waste any more of my time on the matter. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:38 | comment | added | Jason C | @YLearn Mike put the question "on hold" with the predisposition that it could never be edited to be on topic, and even reverted attempted edits to make it on topic. If SE decided questions should be left on hold to allow a chance for editing and to reduce harshness, but Mike placed the question on hold and effectively made it an immediate close by pre-judging and rolling back edits, then Mike still used the system incorrectly by subverting the "give-it-a-chance" reasons for that policy. Either way, this wasn't the correct way to handle this question. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:27 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | @JasonC, moderators no longer close a question. StackExchange decide that the system was too harsh and many questions that could be edited were not. When we take an action that used to be considered "closing" it is generally put on hold for a period of time instead. The system then closes (and deletes) questions that meet the criteria for closing. Deletion is generally considered a major action, and we generally don't delete questions that are not harmful to the community (i.e. spam, inflammatory, insulting, etc). The correct course of action for an off-topic post is to put it "on hold." | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:23 | comment | added | Jason C | For more information about questions being placed on hold, see meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10582/…, in particular: "What does it mean for a question to be on hold? ... This is meant to convey that the question requires improvement and may be reopened if improved." I understand that you have a personal vendetta against home networking questions and also may be a bit defensive because your moderation style is being called into question, but I do expect moderators to stick to common SE etiquette and use the system correctly. I am OK with how I look. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:23 | comment | added | Mike Pennington Mod | I think it's time to stop pointless debates about "On hold" for your question. At some point in the future, we might build a custom close reason for home cabling. In the mean time, the reality is your cable works, the community agrees that home cabling is off-topic, and you're not making yourself look better by bludgeoning a dead horse. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 18:19 | comment | added | Jason C | No, you did ask me to reword my question, by putting it on hold. If that was not what you meant then you should have deleted it. Surely you agree that you should use the system we have in place to accurately reflect what you really mean, no? Otherwise you are just confusing. Had you immediately closed, or just deleted, the question, I would have reacted differently. You placed the question on hold, and this is an active invite for rewording. If you are not sure the difference between "on hold" and "delete" there are plenty of resources in the help center. | |
