| Jan 26, 2018 at 12:21 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | What people write on facebook is not relevant here. The whole point of SE is to be more useful than other sites for getting help with specific questions. If you can give any actual examples of worthless answers on Ask Ubuntu, please link them so we can downvote them and comment on them and vote to delete them. For comments see Please stop posting half answers and dumb advice as comments | |

| Jan 26, 2018 at 10:38 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | "Write a script" is not answer, if it does not include a working script and an answer useless should be flagged as not an answer. I have not seen this as an answer, only comments, which can just be ignored. It would be good if you could give examples of this gor clarity. | |
