| Oct 28, 2013 at 5:32 | comment | added | fouric | Even if others don't quite agree on what the OP is saying, I think that he did a very good job on his question. This question is politely-worded, it contains good grammar and spelling, it is long, detailed, and better thought-out than some other questions that I have seen, and he raises some valid points. Even if we don't agree with him, I think that the OP has written a good question very well. | |

| Oct 20, 2013 at 16:45 | comment | added | user25656 | I feel the part in bold is not factual: "The forums are mainly a platform for communication, and they do not care about content as much as we do, so probably it's a better place to go in order be helped by someone." Quite sad. | |
| Oct 20, 2013 at 10:53 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | @Oli what can I do to help? I havent been around enough to understand what a wizard will do for us, care to describe it to me in (mod) chat? How can I assist in anything? | |
| Oct 20, 2013 at 10:28 | comment | added | Oli Mod | @BrunoPereira Yeah. It took me a while after becoming a moderator for me to get my voice back. Now I try to write more answers than deal with bad posts. I would however like to get the Wizard done because I do believe it could cut out a lot of the couldn't-be-bothered-to-search and didn't-know-what-to-search-for questions, as well as making new questions better. That would free up a lot of review time. | |
| Oct 20, 2013 at 9:50 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | @Oli Would you not want to spend less time worrying about clean-ups and users and more time cleaning, answering and helping users? | |
| Oct 20, 2013 at 9:49 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | It seems that for every actions there are 100 steps you need to take to convince people that its is better for the site to be harsh first, and apologize (and learn from your actions) later. | |
| Oct 20, 2013 at 9:47 | comment | added | Bruno Pereira Mod | To me, its seems that after being elected moderator I have lost power and words on the site. Instead of being able to close and point others in to closing, and having time to answer questions on the site and actually helping, I am spending my time in useless discussions about what can I do or not for the site, and what is considered harsh or or in a newbie point of view about the site... I am actually fed up discussions and points and retard arguments about this and want to do some work. That has been the main reason why I havent spent a lot of time around Ask Ubuntu. | |

| Oct 18, 2013 at 23:23 | comment | added | Seth | Welcome to the wonderful world of tech support.... | |
| Oct 18, 2013 at 22:48 | comment | added | Braiam | I would like to point you that you are able to comment your own posts and the answers you get in your questions independent of your reputation. | |
| Oct 18, 2013 at 22:45 | comment | added | Oli Mod | Should work now. | |
| Oct 18, 2013 at 22:42 | comment | added | Rafał Cieślak | @Oli These aren't just install questions that I am referring to, though your point is very right, and I might have chosen an unfortunate moment to post this :-) However, my urge to write this post down has been growing up in me since months, prior to release there were indeed less 'install' questions, but as many 'it is not working' questions and as many 'i broke something' questions. Also, your link the the second comment is probably broken. | |
| Oct 18, 2013 at 22:33 | comment | added | Oli Mod | And I agree about the general quality, so much that I spent an indecent amount of time trying to do something to guide new users. I need help to do it but nobody else seems willing to put in the time. | |
| Oct 18, 2013 at 22:28 | comment | added | Oli Mod | I'm about 5% of my way through your post and some of the things you're pointing out are things that are a lot more noticeable around releases. 13.10 was just released and everybody and their mother is asking why their laptop's fan is whirring louder than in Windows. The ratio of install questions is a bit lower when averaged out over 6 months. | |
