In reply to For Lou: forcing, lackeys, what is 'outstanding'?, posted by 10derheart on June 13, 2013, at 21:19:27
The term "lackey" as it is currently used is pejorative and derogatory. I'm glad Lou Pilder chose to suggest that it might not have been the best word, although he does state that he has a "different thinking" about the word.
> I have another question, Lou. In your HHHHH opinion, is a request/notification which is not replied to with the answer that you prefer, or are looking for, or that you think is correct, considered "outstanding?" I have been trying to figure out what you mean by "years of outstanding requests" for a long, long time.
I recall a conversation on the Administration board that made it clear that the lack of a reply to a notification could be interpreted as indicating that no action will be taken in response to that notification. When moderation is present, it would be impossible to determine which notifications have been reviewed and which have not. Therefore, if a notification is reviewed without response, it is no longer outstanding. In the absence of moderation, a lack of response cannot be interpreted at all.
