You challenged it here, and a decent case was given for the action taken. Had the community not received better answers in a shorter amount of time, then maybe there would have been a good case to move it back. Furthermore, anyone who finds it here will (should) also see the "migrated to" link and still find it if they're indeed interested. | |
| May 16, 2016 at 15:32 | comment | added | tniles | I don't know that SE mods "shoot from the hip" (at least, not all the time). ;-) Disempowering? How about that plus discouraging for mods who try to keep the place chugging along but that they could be overruled at any time... what's the point of that? | |

| Mar 16, 2011 at 19:39 | comment | added | Dogmafrog | I can honestly say that I was interested in the answer, and up voted the question as soon as I saw it. But I have very little interest in the stats community as a whole, and I'm not looking to join it and clutter up my notifications and whoseiwhats. That being said, i think MD is saying he knows you CAN do it, but SHOULD you? Seems rude to move someone's question without at least asking. Poor form more than a violation of rules. | |

If someone else was interested in an answer, then it might make sense. Instead, I get the impression it is more like a "get off my lawn!" decision. 3.) Great, but it is not really very user friendly, especially if it is for my own benefit. 4.) I think it was appropriate for this site. Are statisticians encouraged to stay in their own camp? | |
| Mar 16, 2011 at 19:01 | comment | added | Mad Scientist Mod | @MindDetective I don't know enough about the subject to judge the answers, but my point is that you also did not get good answers here. | |
