Scuba Diving Q&A under the Stack Exchange umbrella?

[henrik242]

Some of you might be familiar with Stack Overflow and other Stack Exchange sites for Q&A on various topics.

There's a proposal on making a site for Scuba Diving as well at Diving - Area 51 - Stack Exchange

Is it of any interest?

In your "sample" questions....

Well, you got them Oxygen tanks covered so far, too bad the guy is dead by now. You got a CMASS? I'd have a Doctor look at it.

Otherwise, great. Maybe Deep Sea Supply would want to be a Mod for you.

Hi Doc. Those weren't my example questions, and StackExchange (SE) moderators have to earn reputation to perform their duties. But that's beside the point: since SE sites are community driven, I took your advices and suggested improvements to the questions. They should be better now, please feel free to suggest more.

Or even better, join SE and help empower the Scuba Diving Q&A site! The nice thing about the SE Q&A sites is that they have a really good system for moderation. It is moderated by the users based on reputation, and reputation is gained by improving the community. This stops spam, bickering, endless useless discussions, flaming and trolling quite effectively. And that's something I see often in dive forums

Because ScubaBoard, Reddit, and Quora aren't enough Scuba Q&A places, right? Just another spot to monitor, yay.
