| Jun 22, 2015 at 23:53 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @quid well then I can withdraw my complaint! :-) I see I didn't read the original quote I cut and pasted very carefully... | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 12:09 | comment | added | user9072 | @DavidRoberts I do not get your point then. In the "active"-queue the question is inserted at the top anyway. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 11:59 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | Yes, I'm thinking of the active view. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 10:11 | comment | added | user9072 | @DavidRoberts The "new"-queue is created according to the time "asked." Nothing of which I know has an effect on the "asked" time. In particular, bumps by the community user have no effect on this, and thus the position of the question in the "new"-queue. Presumably you are thinking about the "active"-queue. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 1:49 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @quid it could be bumped by the community-user, it doesn't have to come into the stream as a new question. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 0:29 | comment | added | user9072 | @DavidRoberts the migrated post retains somewhat inevitably its history from the original site on the new site and thus its original date of creation. It would also be weird to have a question "created" on June 21st with answers dating from June 19th for instance. The way things are it fits somewhat naturally in, if one would want to do it differently I think one would have to do a lot of special-casing for that corner-case migrated questions. | |
| Jun 22, 2015 at 0:23 | comment | added | user9072 | @JoonasIlmavirta 10k+ users have access to this data under "tools." | |
| Jun 21, 2015 at 23:28 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | "the question is inserted in the "new"-queue with the date it was originally asked" <-- this is not a very good design feature IMHO. | |
| Jun 21, 2015 at 17:37 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta | Interesting data! Is it easy to access or generate it somehow? It would also be interesting to see what kinds of migrated questions get closed at MO. | |

Corrected a typo. (No offense taken.)

| Jun 21, 2015 at 13:53 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | Good explanations! -- I also feel migration is not much service to the OP or to the target site. I think migration is rather beneficial in a certain sense to the source site if a question already has answers. -- Other than if an off-topic question is merely closed, the answers to a migrated question get deleted; this has at least two effects -- firstly, people don't get the impression that they could get such question answered on the source site, and secondly, the migration stub gets autodeleted after some days -- whereas a closed question with answers is not. (I'm not saying this is good!) | |
