It is Ok for you to delete something that is not an answer, if you really think it did not help to solve the in the first place you should delete it, although without my first post, I wouldn't be able to get as much info as I needed to help the user, which I'm certain that I could. Isn't this the purpose of this website?
Answer must actually and completely answer the Question here. Server Fault is not a Forum. This is standard operating procedure, and I would have deleted your "Answers" too.
Everyone seemed to be more interested in saying that my post should be a comment rather than help the user.
Everyone is contributing what they know. They know your "Answers" should have been Comments. So that's what they contribute. If they knew the answer to the Question they probably would have posted that.
Do I earn something for posting instead of commenting?
No.
Do you think I care about rep points or badjes?
No, honestly not many people actually care about fake Internet points.
Please reset them or even disable them, but put my post back. Be useful yourself.
See above.
Now I know that I can comment before I type an answer, but if I don't have 50 reputation to be able to comment, how exactly am I supposed to comment?
Find questions to which you know the Answer and post there. You'll be surprised how easy this actually is.
Was my first post completely in vain that it diserved to be deleted? What about the second one with an answer?
See above.
And you are now acusing me of having conversations in my posts?
You are way too wrapped up in this... Sorry, we're lawnmowers when it comes to this issue.
At least I was trying to help someone, while you are just stopping me from doing so.
I have no doubt you were well intentioned, but we have a few rules here (detailed in the help centerhelp center) that we expect everyone to follow. We appreciate your effort and look forward to any contributions you choose to make in the future!
