| Oct 14, 2015 at 22:21 | comment | added | user1122069 | Post about my post instead. I have no interest in talking about that subject. Main point - this question does not differ in principle from other questions that have been closed, at least not according to any applicable rules. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:55 | comment | added | user40980 | It has been stated quite firmly from Stack Exchange management (Anna works for Stack Exchange) that the site name will not change. This position hasn't changed. As this is going further and further from the topic of the question posted, I would encourage you to take this to Software Engineering Chat instead. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:50 | comment | added | user1122069 | That post makes a good suggestion, so if you think that times have changed, I suggest that it be reopened. It should be programming.SO and not programmers because a programmer is a person and so a programmer is pre-qualified to write anything, judging from the tag. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:46 | comment | added | user1122069 | Fair enough, that post is 3 years old, but I don't get the feeling that times have changed. The author himself is asking for more restrictions, even refers to these old posts as the problem, "Allowing these old questions to remain open is in direct conflict with providing new users to the site a good experience - answering a good question or asking a good question." | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:42 | comment | added | user40980 | Many of those were closed in different times than the current one. There was much gnashing of teeth when the site changed from Not Programming Related.SE to Programmers.SE. In that period, the same arguments were brought up again and again and again and some people got tired of saying "this is how it is" and went to closing questions instead of drawing out the drama again in yet another question. As an aside, another good place to discuss things is Software Engineering Chat (see The Whiteboard) where we might be able to more easily clear up any other confusion about how meta works and its culture. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:38 | comment | added | user1122069 | Yes, but look at all the other Meta posts that have been closed. I listed one example from the "related posts", and to me it is only expressing a different opinion on the same subject. I don't see where they differ, except that this is a staff member and that the opinion that of the general SO staff. Obviously this post should remain open. | |

| Oct 14, 2015 at 21:29 | comment | added | user40980 | Meta has no reputation. I can assure you that if someone asked "Why are all my posts being closed" I would not act to close it as a duplicate. The title of this post was changed, so no, it doesn't match the body anymore, and no the specific question was not the main issue but rather the apparent misconception by a SE staff member about the scope of the site and what the community considers subjective and not. And this is meta - meta is different. | |
