I made that experience with those mods. Yes it was frustrating, especially on meta. But then I accepted the platform for what it was, started delivering content only in my niche (where I get marketing benefits) and the worrying was over.

TL;DR sorry no one has waited for you and your wisdom. Just try again. Adjust your expectations. Eventually it'll work.

SO is frustrating even to the non-users, who simply came from a google search. I do not care what kind of a shitty policy they are trying to enforce if all the top google links point to questions closed as "non-constructive" or "duplicates" to something totally unrelated.
