Why? You have 800 rep, that should allow suggesting edit surely. It is a long time since I was new but we have a suggested edit queue. Do you see the edit button?
I agree with this but a small correction, the editor button is contextual, if you use it inline it will use back ticks and on a separate line it will use four spaces, it does not change your answer but is worth noting.
Sure, I am just putting out reasons why this might get some down votes as I highly doubt the downvoters will come back to give their actual reasons. Personally, I don't have an issue with it.
To guess, the downvotes are because people usually write their own good bye posts. It is unusual to see one of these written by a third party and people may just think it is a bit inappropriate to post this if Stefano did not want to make a fuss about it. Also, we don't know what happened to Stefano, perhaps (though unlikely) he was fired for some reason and people are pissed at him? Again these are just guesses, I don't know peoples reasoning for a fact.
OK bully is a strong word. As a normal user I can't see votes or deleted comments on posts so really can't say if anything has gone on between you two. Perhaps you just want to defame him here but if you want to take it further all I can do is refer you here meta.stackexchange.com/questions/336173/… if it is that bad staff will see and take action.
It is true there was a downvote when you first posted this, I did see it, it is strange it was removed because I do see what he is saying about partial answers that may or may not one day be full answers. I don't see any evidence of harassment on your answers, you get very few downvotes. This might be better served to discuss the validity of work in progress style answers, rather than pick a fight.
Yes, "Canonical Answer required" is a default bounty reason on all sites and has no connection to the Ubuntu devs, the name is just an, admittedly confusing, coincidence.
Also I just noticed that question is eight and a half years old, any fix you know for a modern version may simply not work on 12.04 as that is EOL and not supported nor does it even have a repository anymore. If you really want to contribute, you can ask and then answer your own new question based on what ever version of Ubuntu you currently have, that would be a lot more useful than answering that old question.
Here is a list of things you can do to earn that bit of reputation askubuntu.com/help/whats-reputation it won't take long and is a small ask for something that keeps the quality of the site high.
The issue is not trolls, it is none answers, things like "I have this issue too", eight of which have been deleted (3 today). That is just not what the answer section of this site is for, it is for answers. The protection is used because otherwise users would have to keep manually deleting stuff form the question and that can take a lot of time and there are hundreds of thousands of questions to moderate. All you need is 10 rep on the site (a single upvote on any post you make or five approved edits) to answer that question, the requirements for getting round the protection are very low..
