Re: Java question and pathetic stackoverflow.com experience

I had a terrible experience on stackoverflow.com
and, after Googling, found out it what I encountered
was not unheard of on stackoverflow.com.

I had a Java question, I formulated it something
like this (I'm curious as to what you've done
similar btw):

"We've got an application that sends us back a
stacktrace/machine infos when a crash happens.
This is not a sneaky feature: users are aware of
that behavior. To be sure this feature is working,
I needed a way to generate fake crash, so
everytime you enter "crashme" in a JTextField,
the application crashes and I can check if the
stacktraces arrives correctly (and are correctly
"retraced" -- for they're Proguard stacktrace).
I also have a debug mode that can be toggled
on/off by typing "debugon"/"debugoff" in a
JTextField. I was wondering what kind of
hidden --but no easter eggs-- features were
in production software you worked on?"

So I specifically state that users are aware
of this...

What happens?

Someone with mod points changes my post
(gasp) to: "hiden functionality, I'm sneakily
sending back stacktraces, what hiden features
do you post in you software".

WTF?

Serioulsy, WTFF?

This was not my post at all. Before that I had
only helped people if I recall correctly, even got
a "teacher badge" (that will teach me ;)

I re-edit my post, explaining that the mod had
completely ruined my post and asked where
I could complain.

I enter a complain on meta.stackoverflow.com.

Original post gets locked up. Complain gets
locked. My account gets deactivated :-)

For example, you may dislike this post, and say
"ffs this is not Java related, stop bitchin'" but
you cannot *delete* my post from Usenet.

Or "why this question in c.l.j.p.?" (of course
because there's both an honest Java question
in this post and the fact that it very talks about
Java and Usenet I think it's on purpose and
so we can start a flamewar or start a lovewar,
whatever.
