A 50-something French dude that’s old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever. I also like to write and to sketch.

  • I’m getting annoyed with people that ask a question, have the community answer their question and troubleshoot over several days, only to delete their post and the solution.

    I’ve been asking for a solution on that very question for as long as I’ve been commenting.

    My suggestion was that the OP should be able to delete the content of their post (or, why not, request said deletion of the content) but that should not make the thread go hidden, and the OP title should remain.

    The person asking the question is often providing the least amount of effort

    My personal workaround is simply to avoid commenting on low effort posts, problem solved… for me at least.



  • That’s a lot of words (and even more negativity) to not say precisely where and how you consider that comment has failed to meet your requirements. For someone asking for clarity, I thought that could be worth considering. Why not show the kind of useful answer you’re expecting, or at least show precisely where that comment has missed the point?

    And, nope, if you’re wondering, this not an attempt at trolling you: there is not enough of us around here, so instead of spitting towards one another face, maybe explaining why one feels… disappointed could help change what may need to be changed?
