| Aug 4, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | Kaveh | The description of the tag bug states that it is for reporting unexpected behavior: "Indicates you've found an erroneous or unexpected behaviour in the system that needs to be fixed." If something is designed intentionally to work in some way it is not an unexpected behavior and if you report it as bug it will closed and tagged with status-bydesign. This tag has particular use and what some think should be called a bug is irrelevant. When you are requesting a change in the system you should use feature-request. | |
| Aug 4, 2013 at 19:42 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | @Kaveh : Sometimes reasonable people could think it was a mistake to intentionally design the system to work in a certain way, and they could adduce specific reasons for so thinking. Might they not reasonably call something a "bug" in that case even if it was intended? | |
| Aug 4, 2013 at 17:41 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Speaking of tags, notifications and closed-questions seem reasonable tags for this question. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:40 | comment | added | Kaveh | This is not really a bug, the system is designed to work this way, so the bug tag seems incorrect for this question. | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:25 | comment | added | Manishearth | @DavidRoberts sure :) I was just letting you know about the voting differences if you didn't already | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:23 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | I'm just pointing out what happened in this case. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:17 | comment | added | Manishearth | @DavidRoberts mathoverflow.net/help/whats-meta, the voting section | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 22:08 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | @DavidRoberts : Should I take that as expressing agreement with the feature request? | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 21:59 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | In the specific case you are talking about, I didn't get any notification when you wrote "@David Roberts", because I hadn't previously commented on the question. Not sure what to do other than hope that people check meta regularly, if they are in the practice of voting to close. | |
| Jun 26, 2013 at 20:13 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | @DavidSpeyer I suspect people vote on meta questions here like they do on other SE sites. Namely, a downvote displayes disagreement with the proposal (or opinion or whatever). | |

| Jun 26, 2013 at 19:56 | comment | added | David E Speyer | I disagree with the down votes. Although Manishearth is right that there is an easy work around, it would be better design to automate this if possible. As such, it is on the borderline between a bug and a feature-request; I have added the second tag. | |
