| Jun 18, 2014 at 19:04 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @RyanNHG "Helpful links" != "answers". See the help center for more information about what we consider a real answer. And yes, it does require 50 reputation to comment, for various reasons outlined in quite a few places that I don't have time to go hunt down, but you can start here. So, to sum up, links are not considered answers here, and hardly comments either. If you want points, post real answers or suggest some good edits. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 19:01 | comment | added | RyanNHG | Also @Oli, "that doesn't mean I should rob, rape and pillage my way through supermarkets"? Really, is that the equivalent of providing a link to someone looking for an answer? I hope you don't consider me to be a rapist for that offense. I understand if that violates copyright standards, but I'm just trying to help someone with an issue. The only reason I care about points is that this site disables simple features unless I have a certain score. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 18:55 | comment | added | RyanNHG | I understand, I only copied the text to preserve my post, but it wasn't a step in the right direction. And it's a vicious circle. Due to the rules of this site, I was unable to leave a simple comment. Because I have less than 50 points, I am only able to leave answers. I am trying to accumulate enough points to be able to utilize the comment function by answering the questions. However, when I find helpful links to provide they are deleted. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 18:52 | comment | added | Mateo | @RyanNHG you need to do the work yourself and provide a answer you have gone through - If you follow the tutorial and write your own original steps taking considerations for the asker - then you can place links as supplement to a question. NOT get points for some other site answering the question for you. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 18:48 | comment | added | RyanNHG | When providing only the link, i was risking deletion. I'm not allowed to provide barely more than a link. What would you suggest i do to keep the post? | |
