| Sep 24, 2019 at 22:15 | comment | added | user9790 | @agc There are a couple of people that have some learning and put together compelling sources. But the mods help create a hostile environment, and that in turns emboldens some, and then you get a cascade of like minded automatons. So while I agree it's emergent, because it's naive and uninformed, it's still a partisan harbor. | |
| Sep 24, 2019 at 21:16 | comment | added | agc | @KDog, There are some capable scholars here. OTOH, where expertise fails, one hopes that SE is more of a tempering environs for emergent learning, than it is a stagnant partisan harbor. | |
| Sep 24, 2019 at 19:20 | comment | added | user9790 | @agc This site, like all SE sites, are ostensibly for expert communities, says so right on the home page. However, this site attracts mostly coders that have no grounding in it academically or sometimes even incidentally. It's basically a DailyKos diary. If you were to ban coders and had some requirement to vote, like being published, the site would improve dramatically. Can you think of one person on this site you would deem an expert? | |
| Sep 24, 2019 at 19:13 | comment | added | agc | This answer looks OK, except that it seems to just graze the question, as though there's some underlying assumption, perhaps too obvious to its author to mention, and given which would land a direct hit. | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 20:16 | comment | added | user9790 | @GGMG But the mods should be able to determine if it's from the same IP address. | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 20:03 | comment | added | user9790 | @GGMG I didn't get that feeling. The first q seemed kind of antagonistic, the second like a second in year in college encountering Marx for the first time, and the third someone older and seemed to be a native English speaker. Don't think this is the same person. | |
| Sep 16, 2019 at 20:01 | comment | added | GGMG-he-him | I'm not particularly worried about the background of the user. People ask bad question all the time and the system handles it. But if one user is spinning up multiple burn accounts that allow them to avoid a question ban or act maliciously, that feels like something somebody should know about. | |
