| Nov 14, 2016 at 21:22 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | @MarkKirby the episode I described before happened on Ask Ubuntu Meta. So technically "here". :) I just said on other sites like Stack Overflow it happens more often. | |
| Nov 14, 2016 at 19:45 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @AndreaLazzarotto I am glad you have not experienced that here. I think our mods are mostly good at what they do :) | |
| Nov 14, 2016 at 19:44 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @gatorback The issue with making the edits for people is, how will they learn but I agree, short comments may cause issues. The problem from my perspective, I have left literally thousands of comments here and tend to be very direct, as they say the same thing over and over again and most never see a reply, others are met with hostility but it is worth it when someone makes a post better. I guess me (and no doubt others) are just a bit fatigued. | |
| Nov 14, 2016 at 18:45 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @TheGrimmScientist Then I was perfectly grammatically correct with my comment, it SHOULD of been a comment and not an answer and they COULD improve the answer, if they want. I can't do anything about how people interoperate wording and I need to be grammatically correct (or I am writing nonsense) but I do see the point you are making about using the right words and I am sure we could all improve the language we use. | |
| Nov 13, 2016 at 4:21 | comment | added | TheGrimmScientist | On first though at your example, "should" is a stronger form of "could". Your comment said "should be a comment" and "could improve the answer." While I agree the impetus to create better content should outweigh the difference in strength between "should" and "could", I question whether the commented-on would even find expressing such impetus appropriate if a much higher ranking user seemed to push them the other direction. | |
| Nov 6, 2016 at 15:52 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | @MarkKirby for what it is worth, I once encountered a diamond user here on meta who made it very clear about the fact he owned special powers, including locking comments after posting harsh statements (subsequently flagged and removed) just to prevent people from replying. Luckily the situation here on AU is way better than e.g. Stack Overflow so that was an isolated incident. | |
| Nov 5, 2016 at 15:43 | comment | added | gatorback | I agree: If one is going to take the time to comment / provide ANY feedback, then isn't editing the question to demonstrate how to pose a question to newbies is constructive and what is needed? I don't mind negative feedback as long as it is accompanied with a helpful and constructive comment to sharpen the question. NickWeinberg's observation regarding blunt responses is spot-on and turns me (and others) off. | |

| Nov 4, 2016 at 8:50 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @NickWeinberg I think this is only compounded by the "non chatty" nature of SE. Looking at meta SE ans SO, there are loads of users who feel like higher rep users "own" the site, we should try to be a bit different IMO and make an effort to make the welcome, we need them to stay and contribute, if we are going to make this site the best one on the network. | |
| Nov 4, 2016 at 8:34 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @db429 Please don't think this was targeted directly at you, you just happen to be the one in the example :) We need more people to answer questions round here but the way to do it is quality over quantity, that is the stack exchange way. Please do continue answering questions, I get wanting that quick rep but quality answers will make you rep forever here, as other users stop by and use good answers in the future, they will vote for them too. | |

| Nov 3, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | d1bro | @MarkKirby and yes this was not the only case where I deleted or restarted with a new answer - but I became 'hungry' for the quick success. for the future I will do things differently. | |
| Nov 3, 2016 at 14:31 | comment | added | d1bro | @MarkKirby yeah excuse me, i deleted it in this case, because I felt it was truly a bad answer - yet after a little bit working with askubuntu, I more clearly understand the way this works here. | |
| Nov 3, 2016 at 13:15 | comment | added | Nick Weinberg | I think being a little bit gentler and compassionate in providing feedback can also go a long way. I realize Linux nerds can be stereotypically fact-based, blunt, and unemotional, but many people see that very direct communication style as critical or harsh. | |
| Nov 2, 2016 at 17:16 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @RolandiXor I did not like the wording :) but I could not think of a better one, so I undeleated now. | |
