let's avoid calling out specific users like that please
- Let's take a look at the state of affairs for the past few weeks on this forum.
For the past two weeks, the user "MissMulan" has been posting a lot of questions, a lot of them self-answered. This is not a problem per se, as sharing knowledge is very important.- But let's look at these questions. They are very short and very specific and poorly edited. Clearly the community at large does not like them, with 2-4 downvotes for each.
- However, it looks like there is no quality control regarding these posts. I am the last person to advocate for question deletion, as what is immediately obvious to one can be confusing for another, but clearly there is minimal effort put into these posts.
- To quote the guidelines:
- > We expect questions here to be well thought out, well written, with relevant background info, and to the point. Remember, this isn't a kaffeeklatsch, and we don't want chit-chat. We do want good questions that allow good answers to be written.
Why has there been no moderation on the site in the past two weeks, even if the questions I am referring to clearly do not fit the site's own guidelines?
