I hear it has a CP account under the name 'Munchies Cat'.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

No, it's the source of some evil.

You googled the clue and expected it to come up with the solution?

Kind of. Crazy rough guess + Google. Solution is to confirm the answer (even though it's not a right one). That's how I got a place in DD's CCC points table in past. Got bonus points.

I found so many questions downvoted lately in the Q&A formus by CP EXPERT. The majority of the questions are from new/fresh users trying to learn(who have just created an account).
I dont like this at all, as they lack the confidence and maturity to assume this downvote!
They will either avoid future questions or think of themselves as dumb while they are not!
Don't you think we should consider before downvoting ?

Many/most/all of the questions that are down-voted are down-voted because:
0) The question simply says "it doesn't work", without then specifically outlining WHY "it doesn't work".
1) The question references code that the user did not bother to provide.
2) The user that posted the question made no effort to resolve the problem with even a cursory google search to find an answer (most questions posted in Q/A can be answered this way).
3) The user essentially didn't post a question as much as he posted a demand, aka "Send the codez - Urgent".

I totaly understand.
But, explaining your above points to newcomer is a 100% valid answer (to me).
Why discourage them when we can explain ?
|

Noble sentiments, but when you look at 100 questions a day and 90 of them are questions you could google, questions that say they get an error but don't say what the error is or what line it occurred on, or that something "doesn't work", you get a little fatigued. It would be too much work to explain to everyone who asks a bad question why their question is bad. There are lots of links and articles on here about how to write a good question and people should follow basic netiquette and read them first.

I havent seen a bad formated question from an old user.
I mean, if a newcomer learn from his first bad question, he will ask questions in the right way in the future.
However, a downvoted, may abandon using CP.
I personly think, we can either copy paste a default message, or paste a link to the forums rules url.

I admire your blind faith; we have routinely explained this to many users and they don't learn. We had one user, Tridip Bhaterjee (I may be misspelling his surname) who had been here for 10 years, posted over a 1000 questions and still didn't do the basics. We ended up voting him off the site as he was just too much work.

Or they post the same thing over again, as if we hadn't read it right the first time.
