Is just putting the word wis.dm in a question going to get it moderated?

1 Answer

Answer :

Maybe people have a negative connotation, because some people from wis.dm came here whining for what seemed like forever. No one wants to hear about the closing of that site any more. But, mentioning the site in passing isn’t a problem, and I don’t see why it’d get modded. As long as it’s a question that falls within the guidelines, you’ll be fine.
