| Aug 8, 2017 at 14:43 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | I've voted to close as too broad because policy-making in a vacuum easily leads to bad policies whose flaws are exposed as soon as they make contact with the real world. It would make far more sense to discuss this in the specific context of the actual questions. (From what you describe, this also seems to be an instance of "What should I do with a question which is a dupe (or maybe only a borderline dupe) of an old question which has problems?", to which the answer is still: discuss the specific case on meta). | |

Fix typo and adjust formatting (the letters intersecting with quotes looked weird :P)

| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:03 | comment | added | TheLethalCoder | If you're invalidating answers then a new question would be best. Just add a disclaimer at the top of the new question as to why it isn't a dupe (or some comment saying why you posted a new one) to avoid the close votes. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:01 | comment | added | SEJPM | @TheLethalCoder Closed is a couple of days old with quite a few answers, the change would invalidate about 90% of them. I will sandbox the new challenge shortly. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:57 | comment | added | TheLethalCoder | How old is closed? If closed is only a couple of days old with little to no answers it would make sense to edit closed to new and reopen it. Else make new and add a disclaimer of why it's different to closed and new and why you didn't just edit closed i.e. too old/lots of answers. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:54 | comment | added | SEJPM | @TheLethalCoder yes, but as a new post as to not break Old's entries. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:48 | comment | added | TheLethalCoder | Is New essentially an edited version of Closed so it is no longer a dupe of Old? | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 11:46 | comment | added | SEJPM | @trichoplax thank you, it is indeed more readable now (with preserved meaning) :) | |

Hopefully avoid confusion with initials

| Aug 8, 2017 at 11:43 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | I think this is an interesting question. I also think it is confusing enough already without labelling the non-old question O. I'll edit to make the initials easier to parse in the hope of getting more discussion. Please correct anything which changes your intention. | |
