This discussion leaves out at least one extremely important point.
Stack Exchange is not only basically useless for New User’s questions, it actively drives New Users away
Here’s why ...
That those who have low reputation on Stack Exchange:
- Who have diligently searched for an answer
- Found none,
- Then asked a detailed question,
… get no answers at all. No answers even after months of the questions being opened.
This leads to New User giving up on the whole Stack Exchange concept.
So, I’m agreeing with Anthony Fornito’s root thought of something needs to be done on Stack Exchange as it seems great for answering a question that was asked years ago, but it is not only basically useless for New User’s questions, it actively drives New Users away.
My 2 cents,
Michael
PS: “You must have 50 reputation points to comment”
Since I can’t actually post a comment I had to add an “Answer.” Which should be it’s own discussion
PS2:
Yes, this is my personal experience, and yes I do want my 2 questions answered.
