In the long run, the (ironic) solution may be to implement an AI of our own designed to flag other AI generated posts, and to stay ahead in the whole arms race associated with that approach. But consi …

Please reopen this question https://mathoverflow.net/questions/473947/what-are-some-theorems-published-in-reputable-sources-that-are-widely-accepted-t which serves the mathematical community and is no …

I had recently posted this answer which got 3 dvs plus a delete vote shortly after posting. I was quite upset by this because I was fairly confident with my answer as I actually read a considerable ch …

Vote up this answer if you think the instrument of moving a comment thread to chat should be used along the lines of SE's intentions -- i.e. to move longer discussions in the comments to chat as a mor …

As I have pointed out some time ago, if people want to contribute mathematical content, they should post an answer, not comments. In this specific case, @Nate Eldredge and @Michael Greinecker should h …

@AliTaghavi, you're very right that downvoting and removing questions without a comment is cowardly and immoral and often grossly abused. There is nothing about mathematics that requires secrecy. MO s …

Just delete the entire question. It’s already closed as off-topic, it’s not what the site is for. There’s no good reason for it to still be there.

On meta: Ethical standards of the field of mathematics was closed and currently is at score +1/-7. I suppose the eccentric genius Perelman knows better than 5 users voting to close.

In my opinion MathOverflow should allot sub-portal for open questions or conjectures. This sub-portal should be managed by community - the same which manage MO. The role of mathematicion is to ask que …

I gained the understanding early on that certain symbols like X had a degree of flexibility. They could be different numerical quantities (usually a stand in for a real number, although sometimes a co …

In true Jeopardy style, I respond with "What is a recent political concern which bears some relation to MathOverflow and with which the forum community might concern itself?" More seriously, the sear …

Given two fixed boolean algebras $\mathfrak{A}$, $\mathfrak{B}$ I define a poset, consisting of pairs $(\alpha;\beta)$ of functions $\alpha:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow\mathfrak{B}$, $\beta:\mathfrak{B}\ri …

Todd, read Schopenhauer to reflect on how too natural your sadness might be, but don't censor my opinions (biting or not) in response to others' opinions while retaining the initiating opinionated com …
