My question was edited by a moderator, it was a poor edit, and now edits are locked?
I've just reviewed the revision history and the 64 (!) deleted comments (the vast majority of them not constructive or worse), and I don't see anything "hostile" or "rather rude" from moderators. ...

Where did the comments go?
Comments can disappear at a moments notice, you should consider them transient.

Why can I not answer a protected question when signing up with association bonus?
This is a core feature of the StackExchange network and this behaviour is intentional. In short, it's to eliminate "drive-by users" who might answer questions that have been protected for a ...

Why are these answers ordered strangely?
Ah, I missed this the first time - when an OP posts a self-answer, answers are sorted by votes even if it's accepted.
Notice the OP in that case is actually the same user who wrote the accepted ...

The only reason I could tell there was a link here was it looked like a question title. I read through the whole thing, then realised it looked kinda like a ...

Is the "I'm Done" button on First Post Reviews broken?

Double THE template issue
No, it's not a bug. "The Workplace" is the name of the site, so "the 'The Workplace' election" is (arguably) technically correct (even if it sounds a little awkward).

Possible bug: Upvotes lowers question score
In both users' reputation history, I see an 'unupvote' around the same time, and an 'upvote' around that time as well. That might explain why the score didn't increase, but not why it decreased:

The paperclips are on the wrong side
That's the design.
It is indeed meant to invoke the idea of paper clips.
We will fix this when the paper clips stop you from turning the page to the next one.

My question was edited by a moderator, it was a poor edit, and now edits are locked?
Best to be philosophical about these things, it's a fairly minor issue (to the rest of us I think). I can't see anything worth making a fuss over in how it was handled.
