First: Now that old posts are being updated and duplicates locked, I no longer am able to filter out old posts. Am I expected to check every CSS post in 2012 for some golden answer that unfucks my 2024 grid box layout or can I just check the new ones (that are all locked)?
Second: I don't get what's wrong with letting person A to post in the wrong/old place if they want, and person B can link the URL of the post to the right place. Instead you have person A locking person B's post which might actually hurt their feelings, like being arbitrarily moderated on any other site does, so they never come back.
Third: When Stack overflow moderation approves something, it actually means it's the end of discussion. IIRC the famous SO post about parsing HTML with regex ended with moderation endorsing a meme (the wrong answer) and locking it.
But I'm giving too much attention to SO anyways they could fix everything and I still don't see how it would win back talent.
