This is the question edition of What is required for an answer to be high quality?
One of the key problems that I see Software Recommendations having, is people asking extremely vague and simple questions that ultimately boil down to one of the two close reasons we see on the rest of the network...
I was explaining that our believes about fetus (life or cell) are due to our experience. The people we meet and so on. And this believe are very strong.
we can believe we are doing something good while we are killing people
but if you know that everyone opinion (beleve) is created by some thoughts that can be rational or irrational it will become easier to recognize your good ideas from the bad ideas we are strongly believing in
it's not the strength of a believing that states it's true..
or "Please make it so you can't downvote without leaving a comment" ?
These issues have had literally years of man-hours spent discussing them between all of the people who've taken part and the number of people who've asked these questions
@kalina I'm not saying I'm ok. But the number of people sharing an idea is not a good indicator that this idea is right. (it doesn't mean the opposite, and I strongly believe you have a lot of experience and that this matters a lot)
The way Stack Exchange works was not decided by one person, it was decided by a community of very intelligent people discussing the pros and cons for a long time
If you want I can bring you million of example to demonstrate that we can always improve and that the opinion of many people is not always perfect. But I think you already agree with me on this point.
I'm not trying to say that SE should change everything
Oh sure, no system is flawless, but there are far more serious problems at the moment than the way Stack Exchange works
For example, the fact you're emotionally involved and take downvotes personally
The fact that whenever anybody tries to help you, you start quoting psychology at them and essentially telling them that they're close minded and not listening
While being closed minded and not listening yourself
every system is not perfect. But there is a really important things that I would like you to read, just because a psichologyst can explain this things (that you already knw by intuition) better than me
ok, apparently you have your believes that are contrary of what everyone else thinks. You don't try to listen us when we explain how things works nor give us good reasons to change or methods to fix what you believe is wrong. This whole conversation is unconstructive and I better spend my time answering questions. Have a good day.
However, based on our past experience across the rest of the network (where recommendations are off topic), without these rules, this site will go downhill extremely rapidly when it becomes public
The answer to "is this question too broad" is "will this result in a large number of answers", "could it be narrowed down further", "is there obvious information missing that could improve this post"
I'm in a unique position to help you, because when I first started using Stack Exchange I caused a lot of trouble by not understanding the way the system worked
I know what you're going through
but it has nothing to do with murder, beliefs, or anything like that
rules exist in humanity to allow all of us live together in harmony. They are a set of behaviours expected from the individuals of a community and if those members break them they incur in some kind of penalty.
I have closed questions, I've got questions that people have chosen to delete. It doesn't bother me - the community chose to delete my content, it happens.
but now, clean slate - if people downvote you or close vote you, politely ask them why, don't start quoting psychology to them because while it is an interesting subject they're just not interested
@kalina could you please edit your synonym-tag-question on meta on Meta (Private beta cleanup: tag synonyms and tag merges) and make the hint to "community-wiki your answers" bold? I've just edited a bunch of my posts since I forgot that part #D
@Undo As @kalina wrote: history. I first put the exclamation marks, then thought quoting might be better, then forgot to remove the exclamation marks again... D'oh...
@Izzy someone quickly submit an excerpt edit "less is more" and for more: "more is less". Then make them tag synonyms. Perhaps that will help clarify it for some people. :P
@Braiam Leave me a place for a hole then, please! Or maybe you shoot the holes, and I pull the ropes through them? That leaves a 3rd place for anybody who wants to put the rope on a tree (or on a stone, before throwing the construct into deep, deep water).
@kalina Urgs. Hope you're not referring to the post immediately before yours!
It's really funny how meta here are closing any questions which is counter corrent. Do our way or you are out? :D This is the community you want to create? — Sam17 hours ago
Is it OK to ask a question on this site that I really doubt has an answer at this time? Specifically, I'm looking for a H265 (aka HEVC) VFW codec, so I can render directly from a Sony Vegas Pro project into HEVC without an intermediate step. I think I'm a pretty darn good googler and have come up empty. Is it something I should ask?
@allquixotic Why not? You will be surprised what people come up with here. Even if you think there is no answer, does not mean you should not ask the qeustion, in my opinion
how should I handle tags that should be removed but belong to closed questions? (Tag "tablet" -> its about hardware and the question is closed because of this)
@Bernhard in all likelihood, a correct answer to the question today would be "Sorry, no, this does not exist" -- but maybe in a year or two there will be an actual answer with a recommendation
@Seth yeah, "mm" indeed (RE: your deleted msg), super expensive -_- and I paid full retail
I really wish that Sony would drop the price on that, but then I've always been against ridiculously huge software prices -- and the funny thing is, I could make a convincing, correct, numerically sound argument (given a lot of time and data) that Sony and other astronomically high priced software vendors could make more revenue by selling their software cheaper
the general idea is this: you sell licenses to your software at $40 - $50 price point so that your everyday consumer can afford it; you get lots of purchases; but don't include individual support with the license. if people want support, you can sell a la carte support separately on a per-incident level, or varying degrees of enterprise support plans.
that way, fat enterprises still pay $40 - $50 per seat, plus thousands per year for a robust support plan so they can call you up at 11:30 PM on a Sunday and get a hotfix patch
but Joe Poor can just buy a $40 license and enjoy it for personal use, and if he has any issues he can post on a forum
