Do you feel that this question requires clarification? "If the word ends in -dge, what can it be?" This question was nuked before I was given the opportunity to clarify it.

Comments

• Yes, I was emailed by the staff and they told me that they didn't understand the question. I sent them an appeal email requesting that they leave the question alone and they nuked the question allowing all the Q & A points to evaporate.

• Either the staff is obtuse or they don't have our brilliant insight. ;)
  sm00z, this rephrasing of your question is a good way to circumvent the mental deficiency of whoever flagged the question and the staff.

  Yes, Brian, I figure that posting this type of question was my only option because they chose not to answer my email and they certainly can't restore the question if they erased it.

  Dear sm00z is in a long COAT,
  
  Thank you for submitting a question to Answerbag, but I'm afraid we weren't able to understand quite what you mean. If the question isn't clear, it's hard for our visitors to give a good answer that will give you the help you're looking for.
  
  The question text was: "If the word ends in -dge, what can it be?"
  
  ..............
  
  When I tried to find the question, it apparently was deleted after it had received about 15 to 20 answers. I also appealed their decision to flag the question via emails which were ignored as I never received a reply for my appeal.
  
  Any way, Thanks for answering, Rosie, and Happy Thursday! {{Hugs}}

• You're welcome..geez, louise..aren't there any English majors on AB staff for crying out loud? :( Any two-year old (well, maybe 3 year old) would understand what you meant! I fear for the generations that follow! :(

• OK. I just sent an email regarding the ridiculous rejection..don't know if it will do any good, but this is insulting to all of us who answered the question..what are we? Idiots? Chopped liver? What? :(

• I am very happy with the results that I have gotten so far in response to this re-posting of the question. And thank you for emailing the staff, Rosie. Sometimes the moderation on this site gets ridiculous.

• Nice to see you too, my friend.
  I think what I did here is the way to go.
  If they want clarification, I'll just re-post the question and go by what the answerers tell me about clarification.

• smOOz, this was a superb idea. It is another well thought out question, and I saw the answers, and I can definitely say, the people have spoken. This is a good way to explain ideas to the staff, because the site is user generated. And, though they have the final say, I do think the community is taken serious as a whole. I really think they are just swamped at the time. Maybe in a few das, it will be reinstated.

  If you need to define clarification, I am confident we can pull that off as well.
