To be honest the only time I'll bother to leave a comment is if it's a new user and I want to explain what they did wrong and how to improve it.

Coronus

@Sterno Would you rather we say "LMGTFY"?

Sterno

Phrasing matters!

@Coronus What could possibly make you think I'd prefer that?

Q: Ban LMGTFY (let me google that for you) links

I've just asked a question on Stack Overflow which was a prime candidate for googling. I admit it was a poor question and with a little bit of research I would have found the answer. It annoyed me that someone put a let-me-google-that-for-you link in the comments. It got right up my nose. I find...

FEichinger

@Coronus How about This is rather easy to find with a search for "<insert keywords>". See, for example, [this result](<insert link>). ?

Is that all too hard?

shanodin

I'll draw your attention to the point in my nomination (gaming.stackexchange.com/election/4#post-152200) about the "Please be nice to each other Principle"

Sterno

It just comes down to "Try not to be a dick"

FEichinger

21:01

I mean, if you're already making the effort to point something out to the user, at least help the user, instead of just telling them how much they suck.

shanodin

shameless self promotion aside, we all need to be nice to each other

Yuki

@Coronus There is no reason to post LMGTFY links other than to say, "Hey, idiot, I just found that by Googling because I'm smarter than you, dumbass."

shanodin

people being nice to each other makes everything better

Wipqozn

@FEichinger I don't think that even works well enough to be honest. It still cane come across as "u r dum".

Yuki

Go ahead, post Google search results. I don't mind. But LMGTFY links are where I draw the line in the sand.

Sterno

21:03

@Wipqozn Agreed

It can be pretty tough to explain a downvote reason, particularly the "no research effort" one, without it being rude. I mean, the reason, at it's core, is "You were lazy". If you can't find a way to put it nicely, just don't say anything.

shanodin

there are also some very easy/basic questions which get a lot of upvotes

Sterno

Or find a meta to link to

shanodin

the community is really a bit split on the whole thing

FEichinger

@Wipqozn There's "can come across like that" and then there's "will come across like that". A blunt comment definitely falls into the latter category.

spugsley

@FEichinger the way I see it, downvotes already seem negative (I know they aren't)

so

let's not add insult to injury

especially when it comes to new users

Wipqozn

21:06

@Sterno Yeah, I don't think there's a "perfect" way to point out lack of research.

shanodin

maybe I'm just weird, but the fact that people on the site took a harsh stance against bullshit was one of the main appeals for me

FEichinger

@spugsley See, if we treat it like that, our only option is to downvote and run away, hoping that it doesn't come across too bad.

spugsley

@FEichinger I just mean, don't downvote and then be rude in explaining your downvote

StrixVaria

If you're going to comment when downvoting, then try to be friendly and helpful.

5

spugsley

be helpful if you're going to explain your downvote. Otherwise, don't say anything

FEichinger

21:07

@spugsley I'm really not sure where you're getting from that I'm advocating anything else. In fact, that's precisely what I've been talking about.

spugsley

@StrixVaria yup, you know what's up :p

@FEichinger I know lol that's why I've been pinging you I guess. Sorry :p

FEichinger

@spugsley Sometimes you're a confusing little lady.

spugsley

@FEichinger I know :3 Sorry

I smell really good though.

so that's a plus

like carnations.

I got new soap :D

Yuki

@FEichinger Sometimes?

FEichinger

We help best by providing the user with our knowledge: Why do we find the question trivial? Because we know almost instantly where to find and how to find the resource the user is looking for. So, give them that resource and show them how to find it on their own.

Yuki

21:09

@FEichinger Like they say, "Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

FEichinger

Trivial questions deserve downvotes, but since "trivial" is not (although some people would really love to change that) a close reason, we should still answer the question.

Yuki

Or... something like that.

FEichinger

@Yuki Don't give @kalina any ideas.

Yuki

@FEichinger Too late, you pinged her.

Unionhawk

@FEichinger Well dammit now you've done it.

Wipqozn

21:10

@FEichinger In my opinion if someone asks a trivial question we should delete their account, followed by the site.

FEichinger

@spugsley I suppose. :P

Unionhawk

Kevin van der Velden

Closing these as "primarily opinion based" seems ridiculous to me

StrixVaria

21:14

@Sterno The argument was not for "primarily opinion based".

Not sure why people voted for that.

I originally said "not clear".

Sterno

I'm down with that close reason.

StrixVaria

Since the user hasn't been around in over a year and never answered our clarifying questions.

shanodin

indeed, not clear is the problem

Sterno

I bring this up because I've seen this happen a lot for strategy-type questions

StrixVaria

@Sterno That is the worst.

Strategy questions are the best questions.

Sterno

21:14

If we're closing strategy questions as opinion based, why are we even in the business of answering gaming questions?

3

Yuki

@Sterno We might need to refine "primarily opinion-based". There are quite a few "opinion-based" questions that are okay for our site ("How should I build X?").

user15026

@Sterno I suspect because there is an idea that everyone has their own strategy? I dunno. That's teh best I can see out of that reasoning

FEichinger

@Sterno There's a fine line with strategy questions. I voted POB on one of those posted here because, to me, it felt like it was a bit too far, but I'm not voting on the one you posted now at all.

@Sterno wat

FEichinger

@Braiam Yeh, I've seen multiple reports of people not getting through to the US. Seems like a hub is down.

Unionhawk

21:17

I think we need to have a discussion/reminder on what the definition of "opinion-based" is.

shanodin

@Unionhawk good call

user15026

@Unionhawk That might not be a bad thing.

Braiam

I don't think so... opinion based is when all possible answers to the question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.

Unionhawk

opinion-based (n) - involving opinions or speculations, rather than facts. "Your opinion about what opinion-based means is factually incorrect"

Wipqozn

Opinion based and subjective has always been misused.

A meta about it might help, but it also might not. There probably already is one.

Sterno

21:22

And note the keyword "primarily" in "primarily opinion-based"

shanodin

@Wipqozn @Sterno both good points

Yuki

@Sterno Yeah, this is why I think most "How do I build X" and strategy questions shouldn't be closed under that reason. Yes, they are opinion-based. However, they are not primarily opinion-based.

Sterno

"What's the best way to earn <achievement x>" is immediately opinion-based, because it asks for the "best" way. But it's not primarily opinion-based, because a person uses their experience to answer it.

i'm giving it the polishing it needs as we speak

Wipqozn

I'm sorry, but:

because he's trying to install a mod, and almost every mod requires you delete the META-inf, regardless, the 'why', has nothing to do with any reason that could possibly be causing this issue. I don't see why everyone is being such a jerk about this question. — Ender 2 mins ago

We're not being jerks. We're not sure what his problem is.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn He can't delete meta-inf

Wipqozn

He's given us more detail now, which is good, but before there wasn't enough, and it wasn't clear.

GnomeSlice

22:56

But yeah, it's hard to answer without a list of what he's tried, and what happened.

FEichinger

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't deletion of META-INF now no longer required to install mods for minecraft, what with the new launcher and all?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Exactly.

FEichinger

I mean, heck, we have tons of dupes about deleting META-INF either way.

Coronus

@FEichinger Yeah, I heard something about that.

Wipqozn

"I can't delete meta-inf" isn't enough info to go on, especially when his opening paragraph makes it sound like a completely differnet question. That is, how do I do it, as opposed to why isn't this working.

IF we can't tell what someone is asking we close the question and get them to clarify it, fix it up, and thne re-open.

Now that he's provided us with some more information I'm more than happen to cast a re-open vote.

PLus, as was pointed out, he already asked this question and it was closed:

FEichinger

@FAE The limit is too low. I mean, if you look at the nominations we got, everyone only really gets to pick two out of (personal history, stance on moderation, site evaluation), and only one subject each.

@FAE Everything was iced over today, meaning it sprinkled a bit and everyone's panicking.

FAE

@Yuki Oh dear.

Yuki

Can't start my job hunt until Monday.

RedRiderX

FAE

@Yuki I'm assuming you're a native Texan seeing as you said your sister's never seen snow?
