| Jan 28, 2019 at 0:00 | comment | added | Hayden Thring | nailed it, ive just been blocked from asking questions, not because i asked bad questions but i wanted to share something i worked out, and i answered my own question in the question, rather than the 'answer my own question' option... what a joke, i get no feedback and just banned.... | |
| Dec 7, 2014 at 2:35 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | I agree, and this is like a war on who did help the more. The way it work, there is no team work at all. No one got all answers, but you can direct the user to the good diag, but other step in to tell you are dumb, or such. Only 6 days I'am participing, and I even seen a OP that edit is question, but my answer then was no longer the best, so I was getting back feedback.. thats stupid. For SF comment should give rep, on SO it's maybe another story, but there you can't write a best answer without diag, and you just hope no other answer while you diag.. | |
| Dec 5, 2014 at 16:13 | comment | added | JamesRyan | I tried to point this out previously only to be shouted down because unfortunately a lot of the elitists are moderators themselves. It is good that this issue is coming to people's realisation but what does anyone suggest should be done about it? | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | Andrew B | @Zypher There are occasions where this happens and it is handled poorly. That said, there are also many occasions when someone is clearly in over their head and there really is nothing more to be done than inform them of this. Helping someone make the next step is all well and good, but if they're trying to take the entire staircase at once someone is gonna get hurt. | |

But on any given day I can go on the front page and see people giving someone who is trying to learn, or doesn't have perfect English a hard time for trying to improve themselves. That is what makes me sad. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 22:41 | comment | added | user9517 | It's amazing what comes lout of the woodwork when there is a bit of a flap on. It's sad that y'all haven't seen fit to play the game or deal with the (apparently) obvious issues before now but I look forward to seeing you improve the place, Kyle, George and Mark. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that you didn't get where you are by asking "gimmie teh codez" or other barely intelligible collections of words, and those requests are what we deal with most these days. We're not doing the sysadmins of the future any favors by answering those types of questions, or letting them clutter up the front page, either. Learning how to ask good questions and communicate effectively, however, is important, and we'd be wrong not to reflect that in our standards. (Which, frankly, seems to be the direction this whole thing is heading in.) | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 20:54 | comment | added | Kyle Brandt | I wish I could have worded my disappointment as well as George did but I think I would have slipped into a rage based rant. So I'll just say "Hear, hear!" | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 20:25 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | I feel much the same way. It saddens me to see so many people basically being told "You're too dumb, go away from me before I catch your dumb disease". I, for one, am guilty of doing this in part. This was wrong of me to do this. I back Shane's proposal for the same reasons you do. I want to give back. But I want to give back to a community that I am proud to be a part of. | |
