| Dec 3, 2016 at 6:27 | comment | added | Anwar | Take a look at this unanswered tab. There are lots of good questions not answered. We (I believe this includes all SE sites) don't have a feedback mechanism for this kind of situations. Sometimes a question is answered 2 months after posting (there is a badge for that also), sometimes even after 2 years! So, enforcing such mechanism is not possible. Also Not every question can be answered. For example, have a look at this question. Though I tried hard to answer that one, I think it still not very useful. | |

| Nov 25, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | TheWanderer | @AndreaLazzarotto I've seen em. OP, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that if we can't, we don't want to risk offense. I've had too many cases of someone just completely losing it at "what are you asking?" | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 14:14 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | @Zacharee1 agreed. There are even some users that take "please provide these additional details: [...]" as an offence or lack of consideration. | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 12:42 | comment | added | TheWanderer | @arman I've learned to avoid telling people, "I tried, but couldn't find anything. Sorry, but I can't help." For some users, it's taken as an offense, and I'd rather be safe. | |

| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | Two things to do to improve visibility, edit your post, it will go to the top of this page askubuntu.com If you are needing a problem fixed badly, you can offer a bounty on it askubuntu.com/help/bounty Not much else you can do really. | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:49 | comment | added | quant | @muru well I guess what I'm saying is that it would be really helpful to know when someone with experience has shrugged and moved on, because then it might be time to file a bug report. | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:47 | comment | added | muru | @arman It's hard for us. Mostly I look around, don't find anything, shrug and move on. :/ | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:47 | comment | added | quant | @MarkKirby I've updated my question to reflect reality. | |

@muru thanks muru, I'll do that. In that case I have some feedback for this community; tell us when that's the case - I don't know much about ubuntu and it's really hard to know whether I've hit a bug or a feature when something doesn't work. Thanks again!

| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:45 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | Basically, we get more questions than people can answer, 9/13 is just about right on the percentage of questions that get answered. All you can do is improve the questions with updated information and see if that helps, I don't think your questions are badly written or anything. | |
| Nov 25, 2016 at 11:42 | comment | added | muru | That apt proxy problem is probably bug, maybe you should file one. Ditto for the bluetooth problem. | |
