| May 3, 2016 at 10:11 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | ... as a reason it is unfair to disallow there comment and before you know it people start posting these type of comments all the time because it was allowed once and ask ubuntu is top of the search results? It is off topic here and should be on ask different where it has value. | |
| May 3, 2016 at 10:09 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | "I don't believe it's a problem at all" I disagree, lets flip this round and say you were browsing ask different and found a solution for your Ubuntu problem that you modified to work, would you leave a comment on that question saying how to do it on Ubuntu or would you add the solution to a question here? Of course the latter is the correct course of action and so should apply for that comment too, it has no value here. It is a slippery slope, if one comment is allowed, what is to stop another user using that as the reason they can post a Windows solution here? using that comment...., | |
