Welcome to the site! Please take a minute to read over How do I write a good answer?. I'm not sure how this answers OP's question, and it's a bit unclear - what is "gold times"? What is the purpose of the picture? Your last sentence seems to be just summarizing this earlier answer, if you feel it's different can you elaborate on that and why you think that is the best course of action for OP? — Em C ♦ 1 min ago

Hi Vlastimil. You're still not answering how DDD should go about getting forgiveness for forgetting the birthday. It's fine that you think there's loads of reasons why it shouldn't be done, but you're not helping DDD reach their goal of getting forgiveness. Your answer is still answering 'Should I apologize' instead of 'How can I convince my friend to forgive me'. — Tinkeringbell ♦ 1 min ago

Hi eric! Thank you for showing an interest in writing answers on Interpersonal Skills and sharing your expertise. Please take a moment to look at our meta post on how to write good answers.

Not exactly relevant since I'm not from Romania, but if some one I wasn't dating asked if they could "have the rest of my food", I'd wonder if they were homeless or so poor that they don't get enough to eat at home.

I won't add an answer to an on-hold question (though if the hold is removed I may convert this to an answer), but the answer here is to contact the group that has organized the event and ask them.

Likes/dislikes and personality are all largely the same. I'm a bit more extroverted since there is not (supposed to be) as much commitment. So it mostly name, job, education, general life history. All the stuff you talk about when you meet someone. "Who are you" "Where are you from" "What do you do" "Where did you go to school". That sort of stuff. — threesmallchildreninanovercoat 13 secs ago

@JakeGould I don't feel you've made it clear why those kinds of comments are necessary/beneficial. We have an average of 8 new questions and 28,170 page views a day. That means on average each new question is getting 3500 views in a day (in actuality, 2-4 of those 8 will be closed and another 1-3 will take a majority of those views and hit HNQ). This results in a lot of comments. The community decided to take a "scorched Earth policy" as you put it and here we are.

@SuperStew, comments have to be moved manually in the majority of cases, because the auto suggestion only works for conversations between two people and they don't always use it anyways.

I don't think the complaints raised by two users here are about gamification, and in my experience IPS is far far more restrictive of comments than other stacks.

It might have been a little rude, I rephrased the paragraph entirely, but still kept the points. And regarding the "why be direct and honest?" I think that is an approach that should not need elaborate reasoning. For me personally, direct and honest is the base approach (especially honest). You will not achieve anything in a social situation like this if you are not either convincing the other party or somehow coercing them to do what you want. The latter being generally bad. Of course there is a gradient between those two. Also: being direct avoids side issues. Focus on the topic ahead. — ArtificialSoul 5 secs ago

Honestly, I think this is an exaggeration. Comments for some downvote reasons are encouraged, and comments for other reasons are discouraged. (I'm not saying this is the wrong choice, there's solid cause for it to be this way, but some types of explanations really are discouraged.) Sometimes it's really just that the core of an answer is totally wrong, and the only way to suggest improvement is to suggest rewriting it as a fundamentally different answer (which is generally not going to go over well) or to ask them why they think it's true, which doesn't really convey the real issues. — Cascabel 18 secs ago

@BryanKrause Part of the thing with a more subjective topic is finding answers that are technically answers, but they're answers you believe to be flat wrong. Commenting in those cases raises debate, the person who wrote the answer won't be inclinded to believe they're wrong, so there isn't much point in having the argument, so there isn't much point in commenting. — apaul 1 min ago
