| Sep 8, 2011 at 4:54 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @U4iK_HaZe - one critical thing to remember is that SF and the other StackExchange sites ARE NOT bulletin board systems: They are Question and Answer sites. Questions should be on-topic (per the FAQ), and answers should be factually correct and helpful (either telling the asker how to do what they want, why they shouldn't, or offering alternative options). Questions and answers that meet those guidelines garner varying degrees of up-votes and positive rep. Questions or answers that do not meet those guidelines garner downvotes, especially if wrong or dangerous. | |

| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:18 | comment | added | Jacob | Yes they will get a notification. | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:17 | comment | added | MDMarra | Yes, they will. | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:17 | comment | added | U4iK_HaZe | I understand. And if I include an @, will the creating-user still get a message? | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:13 | comment | added | MDMarra | The user whose post you are responding to will always get notifications without geting @'d. If you were replying to someone else in the comments to my answer, you would need to. | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:10 | comment | added | U4iK_HaZe | Actually, the ban was magically lifted. I'm not questioning the cron job gods. And unrelated: do I have to do "@username" when commenting, even if it sends them a postbox message anyways? | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:09 | comment | added | MDMarra | @U4iK - I know it's fairly obvious, but you asked why you can't ask questions. This many bad answers has to factor in. We're a community of professional systems administrators. If you want to learn, that's fine. Sit back, soak it in, ask meaningful on-topic questions. Some of your answers are blatantly factually incorrect. That's completely unacceptable and the community has voted as such. This is, in part, causing you to not be able to contribute as much, since the system sees a large number of your contributions as bad. | |
| Sep 7, 2011 at 23:07 | comment | added | U4iK_HaZe | Not to be mean or anything, but THANKS, cap'n obvious. Sorry. Couldn't help it. But yeah, I need to work on that. | |
