Why were these questions marked as duplicates just because they're old?

Are questions about UX naming-conventions and terminology on-topic?

Do we need to, and if so how can we avoid misleading titles?

Thoughts on the change to points awarded to Questions?

How to tell whether a (visual) design question is on-topic?
Generally, if the visual design aspect of the question is the core of it then it's off topic for here. However if visual design is just an aspect of the question then it may be suitable.

Proposal for the convention or structure for one type of question on UXSE and feedback

Thoughts on the change to points awarded to Questions?
I wonder if answers should have a non-linear reward system. E.g. An answers first upvote gets 5 points. It's 2nd gets 10 points, it's third gets 12 points, This would reward people who take the ...
