| Apr 26, 2014 at 20:01 | comment | added | Taz D. | This link is an example. The guy asking the question is a power-user and he knows better. The funny thing is that he actually accepted my solution alongside with another user. In spite of this, question was closed. And this one is a classic example where duplicate is used with ease. User was sent here but there is no valid solution in there. | |

If the user can't really explain what they're trying to do then how are we supposed to answer it? Show us data and examples of this being a problem, not gut feeling! | |

| Apr 25, 2014 at 22:07 | comment | added | Taz D. | It won't be easy to give you some examples in just one comment. But I have noticed that questions tagged with 'dual-boot' and 'Windows' and 'USB installation' are often marked as duplicate or put on-hold right from the start even if the user has just registered and has no clue about Ubuntu or how to formulate a question, not to mention technical details like duplicate or on-hold. Most of these users are not native English speakers and they need time to adjust to the way things are done on AskUbuntu.com. | |
| Apr 25, 2014 at 20:07 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | Please at least link to some examples that support your argument. As far as I can't tell we don't close beginner or new user questions, we close poor questions. | |

| Apr 25, 2014 at 13:05 | comment | added | Braiam | The quality standards of the post. Look, through we are part of a Ubuntu community, we are also part of the StackExchange network. SE network needs everybody to fit within certain quality standards when posting questions and answers, if those standards are not meet, the post can be deleted. | |
| Apr 25, 2014 at 12:57 | comment | added | Taz D. | What quality standards are we talking about? I have seen quite a few major complaints on askubuntu.com concerning the new Ubuntu 14.04 release, and a whole bunch of them for the previous releases. Speaking of quality standards! And there are many questions in there posted in the past few months which are still waiting for an answer. Maybe they should be closed too or put on-hold? | |

| Apr 25, 2014 at 12:20 | comment | added | Braiam | So, in summary, we should reduce our quality standards? No thanks. | |
