You should have checked before deleting my 121 individual comments of
Please complain to the Stack Overflow Administrator by clicking the help button on the bottom of the page.
Tell them that a user has closed your question from extended answers and explanation and you would like
to register a complaint.
They were posted only on questions marked duplicate within the Regex tag,
and only by 1 person -> Wiktor Stribiżew. These 121 marked duplicate questions I've
commented on with the above quote, were all asked in the last 4 days.
That's 30 per day. Virtually none of the linked `"Already has answers here"` items
actually answered or helped at all. I know because I've seen virtually all the regex
tagged questions on SO as I'd been a contributor a long way back.
So this guy SPAMS your regex tag constantly and heavily on a daily basis.
He has driven off all the long time regex experts that used to be here. No longer
able to participate due to the voluminous _Dup_ marked questions by this 1 guy.
This site may be community moderated but the regex tagged questions is being
controlled by 1 person, this Wicktor guy.
The attendance of diverse intellectual thought has vanished altogether within
the regex tag. It's a pitiful site really.
You've lost control of your site's content, and unless you change it now
you'll never get it back.
The regex tag is really poisoned now, you've let it get there by turning a blind
eye when you know what is going on.
You make a mistake when you think this is about me, it's unfortunate for SO,
And I am the premier Regular Expression expert on SO presently. Look at my history.
I say this user Wiktor Stribiżew is in a fog and should not be allowed to mark any
question as dupllicate.
This marking of 30 per day is not noted on any other _Tag_ questions on SO.
And until this guy started doing this in earnest about a year ago, was not seen on
the Regex tag.
Should I start a thread on Duplicate marking ?
Yeah, sure thing ..

I want the questioner to start a discussion.
If you want a discussion you start it yourself, by posting on Meta. Using comments to
“canvas” others to do this for you is an abuse of the commenting system and is not something
we can condone.

If you have an issue with these closures, please start a discussion on Meta. That’s how this site
works, by the community, building consensus.
Posting 121 comments (and more had we not stopped you) is not the way to go about this.
