Getting a bit too snarky
I like this answer, anyone who can say when they started out didn't have questions and when you went to a senior to ask for help they would tell you "Hey you suck at your job" Doug Luxem made the only comment needed, tell them why the question is bad and what needs to be added to fix. If the OP does not add any content then move on.

Can some explain to me how asking a question about learning on a site dedicated to learning is off topic?

So do they actually care or are they just checking their bank accounts every hour to see how many bills have flowed in? Is there actually a place where you can see if the site has any upcoming changes, or anything to that nature? I have seen a lot of posts on meta that if I were running the company I would at the least want to be made aware of however it seems that most if not all go unaddressed. Meanwhile the thankless mods keep those bills following in without any thanks from the owners, beside a t-shirt.Why do it? What are you gaining?

@sven it got shot down really rather quickly, perhaps you could provide some assistance in getting that setup? area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/105064/learning-guides I have seen a lot of times when questions are migrated to other sites, and just searching for "How to learn" yield a lot of results that are either off-topic or closed. Therefore i disagree with why it was closed on the bases they tried it and it didn't work. Maybe it didnt work back then but could work now especially if the mods run across these questions and migrate them to a more helpful site. No?

That really grinds my gears, by saying you as a mod can simply mark it as off-topic and not give any rhyme or reason but the generic responses of "You off topic because XYZ", Then when asked for help you say sorry not my job? Really kind of reminds me of the kids that picked on all through high school and now has a little bit of power and instead of making the site better and more progressive his thoughts and views are law. I know you have a lot of supporters but gooleing alternative to SE is a hot topic, sooner or later you will be replaced, Im kind of hoping for sooner right now.

And your point is what exactly, If you dont like you job get a new one, after I looked up Sven activity I had a change of heart, he is a major contributer to the site, I did think it was wrong of him to mark a question as off-topic once i posted it here. Thats why i said what i said and am annoyed it got deleted.
