| Jan 11, 2013 at 20:20 | comment | added | MadHatter | With respect, whilst it's a well-defended point, it's also the absolute opposite of what I said. I was most definitely not advocating that newbies should get more leeway. | |
| Jan 11, 2013 at 20:14 | comment | added | user82769 | What MadHatter and wfault said. I'd expand on this to say that when a new user is greeted with downvotes and closed questions, he's likely to leave. It's important for mods to give more leeway to newbies, and to help them to refine their questions. Someone who asks poor questions and does not improve needs to be shut down, politely. | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 15:41 | comment | added | wfaulk | I like your thought process here, but I think that we should extend the same level of courtesy to all users, regardless of rep. | |
| Jan 8, 2013 at 0:45 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | Extending more latitude to those with "decent rep", which I suspect most of us do from time to time, can be a dangerous thing and needs to be done with the utmost discretion. It can have the adverse effect of creating an excusionist environment if we're not careful. The last thing we need is users saying things like "why is it OK for a high rep user to post it but it's not OK for me?" | |
