Stack Overflow announces 28% headcount reduction

"The best way" type questions would still create a ballot with the best solution probably rising to the top, for use by others who encounter a similiar situation. People aren't always starting from a very specific problem, but from a vague general one.

Ultimately though, Stack Overflow just faced the customer service curse: as volume rises, moderation gets blunter.

SO doesn't have such ballots for a reason: SO doesn't want opinionated discussions. If you think that choice is wrong, SO is not going to be a good place for you. But there are very many other sites where you can have opinionated discussions.

May I ask your SO id? It'll be a link like https://stackoverflow.com/users/1, except with a different number.
