| Feb 28, 2017 at 3:17 | comment | added | goldPseudo Mod | @infatuated This meta question is clearly titled and is clearly asking "Who defines what is necessary in an answer?". Expecting this thread to be remotely useful for anything beyond figuring out who defines what is necessary in an answer is a terrible idea. | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 3:11 | comment | added | infatuated | I already briefly explained in the meta why I thought those parts were necessary. And my answer was well received by the rest of the community. So if only this two mods have issue with it, I don't see how this same thread can't be used to discuss just that! | |

The community is ultimately responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly here, including flagging posts for moderator attention when they need moderator attention. | |

Bach | "If you feel that the removed points were necessary to answer the question asked, feel free to argue that point in it's own separate meta discussion." That is a really strange comment; there are probably hundreds of answers that are a lot less useful, representative, and definitely off-topic, that don't ever get touched by a mod - yet you seem to be suggesting infatuated should somehow have to argue why those two sentences, which actually concern the question that was asked, would be not just interesting or reasonable to put in, but necessary. Inconsistent moderation like that disorients me. | |
