I noticed this trend also. I've tried to avoid contributing further too it (and indeed I did contribute to it) by first commenting, then after some time has passed and no change has been made, down-vo …

Perhaps more to the point is that there is no discussion associated with a job advertisement, and this site is about discussion. …

The question as it is phrased, or as it could be phrased, asks only for criteria for judging candidate institutions/programs. If only criteria are given, then no one gets hurt (directly). As soon as n …

In the middle (and in the question above) is a discussion of the quality of Wikipedia entries, which is certainly not within the scope of our site. …

Timothy, it is certainly appropriate to edit the tags and even the question if it improves the question in anyway, including making it easier to find in the future. Such changes, especially (re)taggin …

This is the percentage of questions asked by the user that have an accepted answer. For example, I have asked 9 questions and accepted only 5 answers, so my acceptance rate should be 55%.

I don't think there is any need to make an answer that summaries the other answers. Certainly editing one of the existing answers would not be good, as it will change the original author's intentions …

I recall reading answers from Alan Turing. I'm sure he has published in neither STOC nor FOCS, but should nonetheless be given a boost in reputation. But what if it is not the real Alan Turing? Any wh …

If the question is about computer algorithms, then it is about algorithms. If it concerns cooking, then, as far as this site is concerned, it falls outside of our interests. As for the question about …

This question is about proof assistants and verification tools. The level of knowledge required to use such tools is much higher than for regular programming. In some areas of TCS, such as type system …

How long should this article be? If we can answer this question, then it will be easier to know how much text to put into each section to keep the article balanced. The current revision (rev 9) is …

Your actions were perfectly reasonable. The user in question surely knew (s)he was posting junk, so would have expected such a response. I would not necessarily email such offenders – presumably the c …

I partially addressed this issue by converting my answer to a comment. This disrupted order of the comments, which I have subsequently tried to clean up by removing the ones that were no longer releva …

Someone could make a flyers which could be either squeezed into the conference goody-bag (unlikely unless you know the organisers) or left lying around for people to spot and pickup. This would requi …
