Generally I find Ask pretty helpful. But today it provided two links to posts which I can’t access. I assume they have been tidied into a category with restricted access - a pity, here, because they looked like they might have been useful.
I asked it, “when a moderator rejects a flag, does the post get unhidden” and it gave me general information about non-Discourse forums. Shouldn’t all the advice be assumed to be about discourse? What is the point of the tool if it isn’t oriented that way?
I’ve found it’s a lot more effective than searching through meta for answers—i can toss it a single natural language query (like “How do I make Discourse do [thing]?”) and get an answer made up of summarized bits from the same 3-4 meta searches I would have eventually stumbled upon, but without me having to spend the time to find them. I definitely plan on continuing to use it when I have “how do I” or “is it possible to” kinds of Discourse questions.
