So I'm asking this as a long time lurker, infrequent question asker, but should we rewrite some of the FAQ posts given that the quality of the early days was inconsistent. Where the FAQ answers are short and not up to the standards of today, should we use different answers, or just straight rewrite them? Forgive me if the formatting is off
We're actually in a process of cleaning up the FAQ by removing old or poor answers, but it's an entirely volunteer effort (as, of course, everything here is -- moderators do not actually get paid in Amazon gift cards per person banned).
The (informal) policy has generally been that we consign poor answers to the dustbin of history and replace them with good answers. Editing old answers at this point would require us to reach out to every individual writer, many of whom have moved on.
All that said, though, we appreciate the question! If you find bad answers in the FAQ, let us know -- either send a modmail or hit the "report" button and we'll take a look at it.
Thanks!
