A question I asked 14 years ago on ways to sanitize database queries in JavaScript was moderated two weeks ago as violating rules. I lost reputation points for the moderation and more for having the points from the question deducted.
First, why aren't they simply archiving anything over X years old? The fact that this question from 14 years ago was open for moderation is crazy. Second, who has so little to do that they're hunting down ancient questions to moderate?
I edited it to ask, instead of for the best way, some ways. The edit was rejected. I gave up and have no interest in ever asking or answering questions there again. It's just too random.
FWIW, I haven't been active there since 2021. When I was on the Amazon Alexa Developer Education team during lockdown, I used to answer Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) questions between breakfast and morning stand-up. But since I left the team, I haven't worked on a product with that kind of question volume there.
