| Aug 9, 2016 at 11:47 | comment | added | You'reAGitForNotUsingGit | @KuntalMajumder - My experience was similar. I asked a few good questions earned some rep, all was good. Asked a question that in their eyes was bad, got -22 votes, and I deleted it. That was a really bad idea. I got a 5 day suspension. | |
| Aug 9, 2016 at 10:21 | comment | added | hellozee | Well I was going to ask the same question , a few days ago I posted a question about mod_wsgi on SO and in a few minutes I got a reply from a mod_wsgi developer but I dont know why before I could mark it as my answer the topic went on hold. I edited the question to be more specific and know what instantly it got 3 downvotes and I was forced to delete it. Such a useless community , full of what we call 'intelligent ' people. | |
| Aug 8, 2016 at 22:03 | comment | added | Sam Estep | @AndroidDev Really? This answer on MSO seems to suggest otherwise. | |
| Aug 8, 2016 at 21:50 | comment | added | user3728501 | @AndroidDev I don't understand that rule - if they're your own questions, why shouldn't you delete them? | |

| Aug 8, 2016 at 12:07 | comment | added | user3728501 | @ycc_swe You raise an interesting point - I have found several times that questions on SO (both mine and others) are closed because they are either "too broad", and there perhaps isn't a single easy answer which can be given, or closed because some people see them and don't want to answer. (Possible reasons may be the question is very specific and might not be useful to anyone else in the future, or the answer is complicated, or the people that see the question first and hit the close vote don't know the answer and don't want to find out.) | |
| Aug 8, 2016 at 11:36 | comment | added | cvr | AskUbuntu is more friendly IMHO. In many of the other communities the "experts" sometimes call questions "too broad" and close them. Maybe it is because they don't know the answer ;) ;) When I mix up the Linux things they have shown mercy on me here :) ;) | |

| Aug 5, 2016 at 15:58 | comment | added | Sam Estep | Interesting; I've had exactly the opposite experience. Almost all of my Stack Overflow questions have been well received, while almost all of my Ask Ubuntu questions have left me feeling rejected and discouraged. I've deleted most of my questions here as a result. I would like to think that it's just the specific questions that I'm asking, but after it's happened so many times, I've found it harder to make myself believe that. | |

| Aug 3, 2016 at 1:16 | comment | added | You'reAGitForNotUsingGit | Yes. The SO people were very cold toward me, and I've stopped askign questions for that reason. | |

| Jul 31, 2016 at 1:42 | comment | added | edwinksl | SO has a huge number of answers, so any new question, regardless of programming language, is expected to be able to demonstrate why previous answers don't help. That is a non-trivial amount of research a typical new user doesn't bother doing, so a majority of new questions gather downvotes and negative comments by established users very quickly. | |
| Jul 31, 2016 at 1:39 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | Personally, I think AskUbuntu is generally more friendly. Users here are more polite and more understanding to newbies. That's one of the main reasons why I stayed here. I only go to stackoverflow when I can't find help with my programming questions. Otherwise, I am hardly motivated to go there. In my experience, people there don't have much patience for newbies and people who are clueless | |
| Jul 31, 2016 at 1:37 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | I think the volume of the two sites makes a difference. Stack Overflow receives orders of magnitude more traffic than we do. | |
