Stackoverflow website sucks because of its moderators and Top Users
-
In stackoverflow, if a new one asks a simple question, then the top users starts down voting, ranting. If someone don't have knowledge on particular topic or another then the regular users start insulting them. They call themselves as experts. They are playing with site good reputation. Overall this website has became very funny.
To be fair, I think they have the same problem that Q&A does here - bit they've just gone too far! That's a fine line we draw - we don't want idiots or lazy people asking questions - but sometimes people can get a bit over-zealous! the motto should be, I think, "there is no such thing as a bad question" Rather than "your question is crap - downvoted" people should be answering "your question crap because xxxxx - how can we help you phrase it better ? Power corrupts, and all that, in action, unfortunately! it is interesting how there are a few people here (i.e. on CP) who are the very epitome of calm, assured experience with a twist of helpfulness (I'm thinking of you, Boyo, and you Jedi && !Stig) but there are also those who would be better placed at SO (I'm thinking of you, 'he who must not be named) I wonder why the latter stay here

How about Luc? A Coding God if ever I saw one.
You looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric (Page 1788, if it helps)
or Kent Sharkey? he had good one-liners. :)
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL. I'm not afraid of falling, I'm afraid of the sudden stop at the end of the fall! - Richard Andrew x64

:-O That's just women's instincts. :laugh:

Not me. And I can't be wrong. :laugh:

No, no - definitely not. I never argue with ladies for just that reason... ;)

I don't think it's going to work with people asking these questions. It's a waste of time, they won't appreciate and it will get you nowhere.

I never tried SO. They discriminate newbies, so I have a feeling that they will discriminate women more. :sigh:

When clinically insane by reasons of Drink or Drugs. The rest of the time I know I'm going to lose whatever I do or say! :laugh:

Well, you can't tar them all with the same brush, and surely it is better to politely ask for a better phrased question that to blurt off about them being thick as a brick? There's a queue at the counter, and the person at the front asks for a coffee. The server points to the large sign saying "Sorry - our coffee machine is broken so we cannot provide any coffee today" The next person comes up and asks for a coffee. repeat. Repeat. When the tenth person asks for a coffee, the punch on the nose is a bit of a surprise. That's what it must be like on Q&A for some people. they maybe didn't read the rules, they just wanted their coffee, but don't punch 'em on the nose...

I can't agree with you more! Even me, I never won in an argument with my mom. :laugh:

I'm sure they would punch customers, but getting fired is what prevents them from doing so. You can't fire SO users as they are not being paid, so they exercise their freedoms :)

Nobody ever won an argument with my mum! Even though she stopped being a probation officer 20 years ago, her previous clients still jump when they hear her name! :laugh: She once had a newspaper journalist arrested, held in the cells overnight, and taken to court the next morning just so he could see what it was like. Needless to say, he only found out it wasn't real after the case and sentence...

I stopped posting there precisely because of this arrogance.

Good way to learn a lesson. And scary, too. :laugh: Good thing your mum hadn't been here.

I hope she went out and did a few bank jobs, just so she could see what it was like :)

Tough croud! I personally don't mind SO, it has helped me out of a conundrum more times than I can remember. It isn't a friendly place though, if you ask a question and put "thanks in advance" or something similar at the end, sooner or later some ass-hat will come along and edit the "thanks" part out of your question, and if you are new and ask a question that isn't perfect[^] they are bloody brutal. If you read and follow their rules though, you can actually get a lot of value out of the site, even if it is full of Americans :^) .
