That's really sad. That seems symbolic of the death of civility, or something. Sad sad sad.

Or you could've towed the driveway!

Aahh, philosophy. Where I start talking too much and start looking stupid.

If the term itself is important, then I suppose we could say that 'completeness' is a state that a praxis has or doesn't have at any time, and this can change from one state to another and back.

If we actually want to talk real-world, for 99% of tasks out there, I'd say a week around after submission or a large handful of votes is enough to guarantee that you've 'completed' a task (though there are exceptions, mostly controversial praxes). This doesn't mean you haven't completed it if your submission languishes in obscurity. But does it mean that you haven't completed it if it gets (validly) flagged to X-ness?

Well, yes, in the eyes of the players of sf0, it does. Er, what I meant to say was.... don't you see? There is no 'completion'! The completion, why, it's in your heart!

You're affirming the consequent. The 'completion' of a task is in the eyes of the beholders (the sf0 populace), not the computer code that approves it. So, flagged!

Nice try, though.

Yeah, I think you've got it-- at first glance it's "Hey, that seems nice, an enter key you can actually hit" and then you realize it's pretty unusable. Chindogus for the win!
