| Jan 7, 2014 at 20:46 | comment | added | David M | @badp So, basically, if I see a question that has run it's course, flag it for deletion with a moderator "other" flag and state that? I clearly don't have moderators rights to close on my own . . . | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 19:51 | comment | added | badp Mod | @FAE moderators can search for deleted questions fairly easily. I honestly don't know what the likelihood for confusion is having not played the game, but I think we'd be doing a disservice to the internet if we're didn't keep information rot at bay; this is the simplest way to do so. If you give me a list of relevant questions I can delete them straight away without needing 8 votes. You'd have to be a moderator to undelete them later but it's probably the easiest solution | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 19:45 | comment | added | FAE | I'm still unsure I'm convinced that it causes the kind of harm that we'd have to immediately cleanup. TDS players would likely only be specifically googling for these questions once the event has started again, so the likelihood for confusion with the regular gameplay is low. At the time, we were also not certain the gemstone dragons would be returning either. Undeleting requires people to somehow hunt down the URLs for the old questions, which, a year from now, may be a difficult prospect. | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 19:42 | comment | added | badp Mod | @fae if they are yearly events we can undelete them, but so far that's just speculation. | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 19:39 | comment | added | FAE | @David M mentions that this was a yearly event though, so it's potentially safe to assume that it will cycle and these questions will be relevant again next year. One of the concerns we had for the Dragonvale gem questions was that they were only monthly, but we decided to keep them around because they would cycle (see comment discussion on the OP). How is this case different? | |
