| Aug 19, 2013 at 5:17 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @Boris Why would it help to look for users with <10 reputation and only 1 question posted? If someone posts one question and never posts anything again, then even if their question was downvoted, it does not follow that they left because their question was downvoted. Similarly, lots of people post questions that are quickly upvoted and answered, and never come back. If we found that was more common, should we stop upvoting and answering new users' questions? Presumably there are other sources of information, like personal accounts of people who stopped using AU. That's what I'm talking about. | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 19:44 | comment | added | Boris | @Eliah, off course not, I have no easy way to search for users with a reputation <10 and only 1 question posted. But perhaps you are able to get such measure... | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 12:50 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @Boris We closed the duplicates, and some were deleted. Also, the user used multiple accounts to post them (though that was almost certainly not intentional). But you should still be able to see this one and that one. " I still bet that this new user wont use AskUbuntu and simply Ubuntu for a while." You might want to expand this meta answer to explain why you believe that. Do you have any information about people who decided to leave the community over downvotes? | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 12:47 | comment | added | Boris | @vasa1, the new user is askubuntu.com/users/184894/jayharte and so far I see only one question in his profile (I might be wrong). I still bet that this new user wont use AskUbuntu and simply Ubuntu for a while... | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 12:21 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | If new users' posts could be quickly upvoted but not quickly downvoted, lots of really bad posts would get skewed positive scores. Most people don't take it as a sign of respect to be systematically fooled into thinking they are doing a good thing when they aren't. The upvotes you received when you started on Ask Ubuntu probably told you (correctly) that you should keep doing what you were doing. Not a message we want to associate with bad posts! In our specific case, the user went on to ask the same thing a few times; this is unproductive but emphatically not "not us[ing] AskUbuntu". | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 11:13 | comment | added | user25656 | And that you received upvotes "soon" is nice. Others write long answers but don't receive upvotes or even any feedback from anyone. It's all part of life. | |
| Aug 18, 2013 at 11:09 | comment | added | user25656 | That particular instance shows that that poster didn't try to improve the question but posted two more questions essentially the same as the first. | |
