I reached out to David earlier this week in regards to your SE page. If you are a follower of this sub, I believe you'd know if DV gave his blessing on the project I'd back it and do my best to make it succeed.
And I do not appreciate the bad light it feels like you are casting on "the other moderators" (myself and mtlynch) that "ignored or denied" your request.
He denied your request through modmail with reason. Only to then have another person immediately follow through with another of the same. I addressed my concerns about it here publicly and not deleted. So please do not make it sound like I purposely avoided the topic or denied the addition without merit.
Furthermore, you (or someone related to r/StackBlockchain validated my concerns in a post on your own sub. I would link it, but you guys like to delete content over there apparently and it is no longer visible.
Honestly, I am not a big fan of SE. I find most of the questions posted to most SE pages to be easily resolvable with this thing called "Google". I heard the google has datacenters or some stuff that optimizes my search efforts somehow.
Take the bitcoin SE page for instance. Here are the current top questions: - How does Ripple's exchange work? - What are some paid cryptocurrency exchange software? - Withdraw money from your wallet - What is a risk Bitcoin Best Before: Deadline can be enforced under Bill S.1241? [on hold] - Trying to Understand Ripple's Ledger - Why Ripple use Blockchain technology in the first place?
Half of these questions are not even about bitcoin. The other should be easily remedied by this thing called a google. The remainders are very low quality content posts.
Furthermore, in regards to your post [here] about how SE has helped Monero become #3 I personally take with a grain of salt. How many of those 10,000 UPD are offering unique content and in what direction. Is their focus on par with what the developers would want (i.e. most of Sia's fanbase right now is people hosting space whilst we need people looking to plan to rent space). Simply saying you created a SE page and Monero became #3 offers ill substance to the conversation. I spun an FTP server about the same time bitcoin was created, so therefor my FTP server helped bitcoin succeed!
The constant argumentative tone I've had from people here who are from SE makes me feel like there is a motive.
