As long as Russian sock puppets can appear to follow this PoV they can make propaganda just fine on here | |

| Apr 1, 2022 at 14:25 | comment | added | JJJ Mod | @TimurShtatland I think a separate question and answer is almost always preferable. In this case, the meta post is more of a statement than a question. This post was discussed among the mod team and the community management team. Although this post is open to feedback in the answer box, it's not really looking for a specific input to resolve the discussion. On the main site, I don't think you'd ever find a post like this; there it's always about questions and answers, each of which go in their own box. | |
| Apr 1, 2022 at 14:19 | comment | added | Timur Shtatland | @Philipp Excellent Q (with an excellent self-A embedded), thank you for your proactive, thoughtful approach and its application in practice! As I mentioned before, moderation is very hard during a war. On a related topic: for the future, sometimes I want to provide Q and self-A. Should I use this post as a template (question and self-answer all in one), or should I use separate question and answer, where one can vote for Q and for the self-A (among other answers) independently? Maybe I should not ask you here in the comment, but rather ask this as a separate Q on meta? TYIA. | |

The same thing goes for opinion based questions and answers or questions that simply have a lot of down votes. If there is two things that are to be expected under these circumstances, it's unpopular questions and unpopular answers. Not liking a question, doesn't make it off topic either Avoid blind voting.. | |
| Mar 2, 2022 at 23:33 | comment | added | uhoh | Being an active fan and junkie of the HNQuniverse "...and we have the slightest expectation that they might attract propaganda answers, then we will take them off the HNQ list." feels draconian and "guilty until proven innocent", but I'm not a mod and have no first-hand experience with propaganda storms. I assume this is handled on a case-by-case basis. | |
| Mar 2, 2022 at 13:47 | comment | added | Shayne | Its the only way to go IMHO. Free speech and all that is good stuff, but people come to the stack sites because they know theres a high standard of filtering, and the folks on it are smart enough to not go ranting about evil lizard conspiracies or daft nationalist propaganda. This really is just making sure the site performs its role that way we expect it to. | |
