| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:54 | comment | added | user9072 | @Manishearth: I found on meta.SO the information that it is to be expected that while editors can be notifed there is no name suggestion, so it is clear to me now. I will modifiy my answer. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:53 | comment | added | user9072 | @Kaveh: no there was no notification system, as I explicitly mention in my answer. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:48 | comment | added | Kaveh | Btw, discussion of a closing on MO1.0 also worked by someone posting a comment under the question linking to the meta discussion, or was there a notification system? Put another way, is there something that prevents the practice of MO1.0 on MO2.0? | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:46 | comment | added | user9072 | @Kaveh: perhaps this is unclear in my suggestion, I did not mean everybody at once, but that it should be possible to notify each of them. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:43 | comment | added | Kaveh | IIRC, there used to be @all but they removed it long time ago because of misuse: it was creating too many notifications. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:36 | comment | added | user9072 | @Manishearth: On the other matter, in my experience it can be helpful to get first hand information on motivation. It could also be useful to have the possibility to ask briefly for a reason without going through the process of creating a meta thread. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:32 | comment | added | user9072 | @Manishearth: thank you for the information, I did not know one can notify editors. However, how does this work? I just tried to notify François G. Dorais who edited meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/238/double-backslashes there but contrary to the usual notifications there appeared no suggestion when I started to type his name. If one can notify moderators that voted to close, this seems additional reason to also allow this for normal users. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:25 | comment | added | Manishearth | My point about "doesn't matter" was that as long as you have a healthy meta community, a good consensus can be reached without the need of the original closevoters (and in my experience at least one closevoter turns up on meta to explain). Regardless of the outcome of the meta post, if enough community members have both discussed and voted for it, this carries much more weight than 5 close votes. | |
| Jun 28, 2013 at 0:22 | comment | added | Manishearth | You can also notify editors, and any moderators who voted to close. | |
