Apr 13, 2015 at 21:27 comment added Zerotime This sounds nice. However, I wouldn't stop just asking those questions here. Why do we not answer those questions by ourselves on the meta itself? We would do some shameless self promotion this way. If we did a good job answering those questions, maybe some users are keen to take a quick look at this community here by looking up our profiles. I know that this effect may be little, still it's something. We could still write down some of the questions to extend our content by a natural way. So actually, this would be a win-win situation for Community Building SE.
Apr 13, 2015 at 3:29 comment added Anonymous Penguin Mod Ah, I see what you mean now. Good idea! And yes, we want to harvest questions that cannot be connected to a specific event or person for various reasons (generally good advice for posting here anyway)
Apr 13, 2015 at 2:41 comment added Andy Mod One thing that we do need to be careful of though: If we recognize the situation as being influenced by events elsewhere, we don't want to make it about that incident. We are not here to place blame or point fingers.
Apr 13, 2015 at 2:39 comment added Andy Mod I'm not saying to copy the support questions or even specific questions, but the examples I've pulled from above are from three different exchanges that occurred in the last week. Each of those are community building type questions. They reflect different issues and can be written in such a way that the question is applicable to a large audience, not just the groups of people impacted by the events.
Apr 13, 2015 at 2:37 comment added Andy Mod @AnnonomusPenguin "Community members are upset at actions community managers took toward moderators, how do all parties move forward in an amicable manner?", "User posts semi-rant targeting a specific group of users. There is slight merit to the rant, but the overall tone is offensive. Community gets upset when moderators step in and remove post. What is a more constructive way to handle it?", "Quality on site is not being moderated by community. How do I encourage the community to participate in moderation (they have the tools?)"
Apr 13, 2015 at 2:25 comment added Anonymous Penguin Mod For the "general meta" thing: those questions are generally asked on Meta Stack Exchange. I may be misunderstanding what types of questions you are saying that we should 'copy,' but I don't think SE would allow us to stay around just to be an extended Meta SE. Do you have an example of such a question that we would 'copy' to our site?
Apr 12, 2015 at 15:22 comment added Monica Cellio I'm a moderator on Workplace, and I think 90% of our questions would be off-topic there. The Workplace really is about the workplace, which is only one of many types of communities. And we're still largely about online ones, which pretty much doesn't come up there.
