There is a closed question on the OSF system: Is there a way to move a preprint from one service to another within the OSF system? that has spawned a number of comments as well as two meta questions:

  1. Are questions asking technical issues on academic services on-topic?

  2. Is there a consensus if there is only indirect evidence?

Both meta questions are quite general and I am not able to understand how to interpret the votes in regards to reopening the original question.

I am not sure another meta questions (i.e., this one) is really needed since there does not seem to be conflicting votes: it is not as if the question has been closed and then reopened and then closed again.

I guess I am asking because I would like to bring closure (even if that means reopening the question) to the issue.

    Shouldn't people just use reopen votes on the question to reopen it, if they think it should be reopened? – ff524♦ Jun 15 '18 at 18:46
  • @ff524 I think, if people upvote on (1) but don't vote to reopen it, then there must be some conflicts that make them not doing so? – Ooker Jun 16 '18 at 2:04
  • In case the number of votes on the yes answer doesn't outnumber the no answer, then we will have a consensus problem here ;) – Ooker Jun 16 '18 at 5:16
  • @Ooker I voted to re-open before. That vote expired. I voted to re-open again and upvoted the yes answer. This is the best I can do. Let's see what's going to happen. – scaaahu Jun 16 '18 at 5:33
  • @scaaahu thanks. As I'm its OP, I won't vote (or didn't vote) on any answers on these meta questions to avoid bias – Ooker Jun 16 '18 at 5:37
