"ask a question" - rant
-
Today I posted a question about a topic, yet an hour later I received "some comments" and the question was deleted. [RANT] I would actually like that the people who gave comments would like to explain: - why it was not a valid question? - Why they make assumptions instead of asking for clarification? - What was wrong in my post to deserve a downvote and/or complete deleting the post? I got one question stating: "not a question anyway". Real helpful. I don´t mind that I do not receive immediate answer, nor that that my question is not well understood, but now I have a bunch of comments in my mailbox that don´t tie together and no clue what I should improve to make my problem more clear. My question was also not against any rule to my knowledge. I got one "answer" which wasn´t even near to what I meant and which, seeing my question and his answer, I´m sorry to say, proved the person didn´t even read the question right. I appreciate all responses, even the ones not immediately helpful, but if my end is wrong I would like a chance to improve before post is deleted. I checked the persons who commented. All with high reputation marks who seem to answer a lot of questions. I also try to help by answering on occasion, but at least I have the curtesy to allow people to improve. I´m sorry but this just sucks X| [END OF RANT] Sorry had to let that go. I didn´t feel the downvotes or delete was deserved, at all ! Did you get something similar lately ?

There is. If you have sufficient rep, it's the big red cross next to the report flag.

It might just be me, but the bookmark/delete/flag buttons are very close. I went and looked at a question, and it would be very easy to hit the delete instead of the bookmark or flag buttons. I assume that when you delete it asks for confirmation, but I'm afraid to try it out just in case it does not. That said it seems we have a lot of posts being nuked there as of late.

There is confirmation for deleting a post. I think that whoever is deleting all of these questions is just abusing their privileges.

Hadn't considered that option; would be a dandy feature for the Q&A-forums then? To simply hide that button? As is now, I can see it in Q&A, not in the forums :)

Even my question got downvotes & I thought I wouldn't get any answers but fortunately I got 2 answers when I logged in again.

Kid sister :rose: There's no place like Lounge - MeSo I see: one 1, one 3 and two 5. Don't take it to heart - I've raised this before but there seem to be a person / some people who are just down voting anything they don't know how to answer (or possibly can't understand). Not a lot we can do except wait for them to get bored. Just ignore it - it's not as if rep points will buy you any new teddy bears! ;)

Something about averaging algorithms :-). It´s not my intention to put this on the map to get an answer, just to ask for a little more understanding in future events :-) (for the community, not for myself)

You should only ask questions about movie titles in the appropriate forum! What was the question? If a bunch of judgmental wa people say it was "inappropriate" where you put it, it must be appropriate here, so post it here.
