| Oct 14, 2010 at 12:50 | comment | added | jalf | Oh, "CW police" is the standard name? I always preferred "CW Mafia". That seems much more fitting to that group's behavior. It may not be constructive, but it is very, very descriptive. | |

| Jul 8, 2010 at 20:28 | comment | added | Gnome | If you're not keen on using a non-constructive term, then just don't use it. I don't. | |
| Jul 8, 2010 at 20:27 | comment | added | Gnome | New poll questions, especially trivial ones, often get closed. As do jokes and discussions (like this one -- SO is not a discussion board, even though Meta is a poor one). It doesn't make sense to outline CW usage guidelines for questions that should probably not have been asked in the first place. (Re polls in particular, some of those are very old on SO and are kept around for legacy reasons.) Is CW obsolete? I wouldn't say that; however, it does seem rarely needed. | |
| Jul 8, 2010 at 11:24 | comment | added | ChrisW | @Gnome "I only skimmed the rest, but this seems a fairly poor answer" -- would you like to suggest a better answer, or edit this one? | |
| Jul 8, 2010 at 11:23 | comment | added | ChrisW | @Gnome "Characterizing a group of users as CW police is definitely not constructive" -- it's the standard nickname, apparently; I'm not keen on it (not keen on "rep whoring either"). | |
| Jul 8, 2010 at 11:22 | comment | added | ChrisW | @Gnome "None of the three when to do it reasons make sense on SO" -- If none of the three reason make sense on SO, then why have CW at all? Is CW entirely obsolete? | |
| Jul 7, 2010 at 3:57 | comment | added | Gnome | @jalf: None of the three "when to do it" reasons make sense on SO (those questions should be rephrased to be real questions or just not posted). Characterizing a group of users as "CW police" is definitely not constructive. All the talk about FAQs is irrelevant and misleading for those asking questions on SOFU. I only skimmed the rest, but this seems a fairly poor answer. | |
