1.What is your position on questions related to third-party modules? A
simple "I'm for/against them" will not sufice. Please list the
reasons.
If third party modules is open source and have enough details in the question then I have allowed them. For all other cases, I will against them.

What is your position on questions related to third-party modules? A simple "I'm for/against them" will not suffice. Please list the reasons.
If it can be reproduced without actually having the module (so enough code was posted etc) or if it's a popular free module with a high chance of answering I'm more than ok with it. If it's some obscure paid module ...

Marius Strajeru Facts
"Mage" is short for "MArius Groks Everything"
Magento was created to keep Marius from taking over the world
Marius can invalidate any cache just by thinking about it
Marius never sleeps - he just has periods of deep thinking about Magento SE questions
Mage::dispatchEvent() first checks with Marius to see if it's actually okay to ...

This has been a long time coming. Thanks for making such an amazing place for us to hang out.
Magento brand team is eager to get involved. In the past I believe that eBay Enterprise's creative team has said they'd help.
Hip-hip-hooray!

I'm Marius and these are my answers to the moderator questionnaire.
What is your opinion of the role of the Magento StackExchange in relation to third-party extensions--both free and commercial?
I don't think there is a black or white solution here. Not even a grey one.
There are a few types of third party modules related questions that can be ...

One thing is clear. You cannot force people to accept answers if they don't want to.
But you can encourage them (but avoid nagging) by leaving a comment under the question or under the answer that should be accepted telling the OP to mark the answer as accepted.
That't the best you can do about it.

Firstly thank you for you post. This is something that is really highlighted by looking at the voting stats on the site on a user level. My thinking is that people see this site as a competition and not a community effort. I can help you on how to start to change this and it starts with individuals like yourself (and like everyone other user on this site).

I'll start with a few Ben Marks Facts that got around on twitter.
Ben Marks Facts:
Ben Marks can be at 2 conferences at the same time with 2 different presentation.
If you are at a conference and Ben Marks isn't there, that's not a conference.
Ben Marks does not attend conferences. Conferences attend Ben Marks (by Fabian Schmengler)
Ben Marks is a ...

As long as it's something you can reproduce, I'll allow it. If it's OSS, GitHub is preferred but since this is something that can be used in favor of a greater audience it might work

You are somehow right. This website seams to not have a big voting culture yet.
But I want to challenge
you think a question qualifies for a nice answer from you, that the question therefor is good and needs an upvote.
I answered a lot of crappy questions for which the OP could have found an answer with a simple search over the web (I think there is a ...

1.What is your position on questions related to third party modules? A simple "I'm for/against them" will not suffice. Please list the reasons.
Mostly I am against them, but if the op add the relevant code and if I am familiar with extension , I will answer happily. It is better to answer than to close it. But rules say third party are not recommended.

Because people don't take care of the website just for badges and fake internet points. They actually care.

Here are my 0.02$.

I see there is a (more or less) general trend to hardly vote on this website. And this is a bad thing ..
This reflects in the badges section:
Question badges

Far less than what I expected after one year of life.
People should be encouraged to vote but....
Begging for upvotes should be prohibited because we can ...

I'm going to chime in here, even though I have only just come to this community as a newb. However, I do have a fair amount of experience on the stackexchange network, particularly in beta sites (both ones that eventually graduated, and ones that have languished in beta for years).
One aspect of site graduation that is sometimes overlooked is having a user-...

OK. I'll get the ball rolling.
The following code is the result of an investigation I "conducted" for this question: Hidden values in an extension - encode decode data transaction.
You can find the extension here.
Somewhere in the config.xml of the extension is this:

Actually those are not examples of Stack Exchange selling data, they are "scrapers" that are simply pulling the data off Stack Exchange sites and reproducing the content in an attempt to drive traffic to their site. You can see at the bottom of the page contributions you make are licensed under "cc by-sa 3.0 with attribution", so under some circumstances it'...

As far as I'm concerned, Magmi questions are on-topic because the source code is readily available.

For closed-source extensions at least a few lines of code have to be written - otherwise it is not reproducible and should be closed.
I don't have any problems with open-source modules - after all, it's ...

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the support.
And thanks to Tim for nominating me for moderator and specially for all the hard work he has put into keeping this website clean until now. And good luck in your next project.
I hope I can fill his shoes or at least come close.

Lets see, we currently have 300-400 upvotes per month, that number is somehow stable and its to await it will be the same for the current month.

Lets compare this with your strongest SE (Travel)
There are between 1000 and 2000 upvotes per month, so yes, a lot more.
