SQLA Announcement: The "Community" user is poking old questions.

[Breck_Carter]

I don't know about you, but I find it annoying when an ancient question appears at the top of the SQLA display even though nothing's been added or edited.

Apparently it's the StackExchange software doing it. Here's what it says in the profile for the user named "Community"...

=====

Hi, I'm not really a person.

I'm a background process that helps keep sqla.stackexchange.com clean!

I do things like

Randomly poke old unanswered questions every hour so they get some attention

Own community questions and answers so nobody gets unnecessary reputation from them

Own downvotes on spam/evil posts that get permanently deleted

=====

To answer your next question, no, I'm not going to do anything about it, not even ask for a feature change.

Just grumble <g>

Ah, now at least I understand why sometimes old questions get pushed up - Are you gonna wave a dead chicken or try a reboot? 🙂

May be it runs in a virtual machine?
