| Mar 9, 2016 at 23:28 | comment | added | GMJoe | +1 for pointing out that this doesn't solve the problem... And for suggesting multiple practical alternative solutions to that problem. Bravo! | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:25 | comment | added | Tritium21 | @SevenSidedDie then I have nothing. (I said excuse not example, after all <.<) | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:24 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | Maybe apart from the Community Ads? That one is strongly motivated by the special code that runs on those posts, which is enough of a disanalogy to make them not useful for studying. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:23 | comment | added | Tritium21 | @SevenSidedDie Community Promotion ads... 2014 is a dupe of 2015 is a dupe of 2016 | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:22 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | Really?! Even more interesting. Can you link to one or some of those in the post so they can be considered as examples of how it might work well? | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:21 | comment | added | Tritium21 | @SevenSidedDie It solves the problem, and we have the excuse of seeing Staff doing it (on meta. >.>) | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:20 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | Ohhh. Yes, sorry, I misread that. That's an intriguing idea… I'm not sure about creating a new question just to give it a new answer, but it's an interesting possibility. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 21:15 | comment | added | Tritium21 | @SevenSidedDie Actually, in the course of action I suggested, a duplicate is intentionally created. Now this puts us in the position of having to close a question as duplicate. The new question has a correct answer, the old one does not. Which question should be closed? I thought about that. This is the least amount of bad behavior to a better end result. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 18:10 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | Your other idea does have merit, since making something CW for someone would be pulling the rug from under them, a bit. Using a close to implement a Mr Freeze strategy isn't an option since that's not what closing is for; ironically, a CW lock is exactly designed for things like that, which is why it caught my attention and inspired this meta Q. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 7:36 | comment | added | Tritium21 | This is an even worse idea, unless my other answer is taken as paramount; I should only be used as a suggestion. however, I really think we should consider Mr. Freeze. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 7:31 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie Mod | We have a code feature that accomplishes the same job already: a wiki lock. It prevents more than one answer and adds a banner saying that this page is a community-edited wiki. This is the feature I'm asking about the utility of for these types of questions, in this meta. | |
