@W.O. I assume it's "users who don't do at least some research themselves before asking their question" which seems pretty presumptuous? I can't think of what else it would be, but i do indeed research extensively before asking questions — Mashimaro7 11 secs ago

People on SO are quite picky about what is a good question (but SO gets tons of questions, so it can make sense if you think about it that way). Also, and I know this can be hard, but try not to take downvotes personally. That said, the system does not like it when you delete posts that have been downvoted, so that might go into it. — cocomac 58 secs ago

Depending on what you mean by "personalize", it might be possible to use a browser userscript for that. See also Stack Apps, which is a SE site with more information on userscripts (and a ton of them that already exist) — cocomac 36 secs ago

@cocomac Thank you, for the suggestions. I studied and accepted the edits. Yeah, that's why i don't usually use SO lol, I don't understand why there is "good" and "bad" questions, I feel like, if you see a bad question, just ignore it and move on, why downvote? haha, but thanks for the suggestions! — Mashimaro7 26 secs ago

if you see a bad question, just ignore it and move on, why downvote? Because on a Stack Exchange site, in contrast with the rest of the internet, the communities here have the goal to curate a high quality knowledge base of question and their answer(s). That needs a effective quality control system which voting offers. This leads to the situation that on SE sites future you can actually find the knowledge you're looking for instead of having to wade through hundreds of bad and unanswerable threads/tweets/tok-tiks. wrt your quality ban See also meta.stackoverflow.com/a/368484rene 27 secs ago

[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Robert Longson
If you delete bad questions (and we define bad as scoring <=0) then you're telling the system that you're not willing or able to fix them. The system doesn't want people to continually ask bad questions and stops you. What we want is people to ask good questions and failing that to edit their bad questions into good questions. — Robert Longson 28 secs ago
[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Mashimaro7
@rene I try to format my questions well, and do my research before asking, yet i still get downvoted. Sure, if someone's asking "write me code for me, i'm dumb" downvote it, but I get downvoted for asking questions I tried to figure out but was unable and I never have any idea why i'm being downvoted. Then if you think a question is so bad, don't downvote, replying and saying why it's bad would make more sense lol — Mashimaro7 18 secs ago
[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Mashimaro7
@RobertLongson As i mentioned in the previous comment, I never really know what's wrong with my question. Sure, i'm willing to fix it if someone pointed out what's wrong. But I figured it's better to delete a question that's received badly than blindly try and fix it when i have no idea why it was received poorly — Mashimaro7 24 secs ago

Hi Doha Albared, welcome to the Stack Exchange Network Meta site! I'm not sure which search brought you here but the problem you describe will not be answered on this specific site. To get an expert's answer for the topic of your question you'll have to find and then re-post on the proper site. Check How do I ask a good question and What is on topic on the target site to make sure your post is in good shape. Your question is definitely off-topic on Meta and is better deleted here. — rene 26 secs ago

Those are two different actions. The goal of this (rather new) checkbox is to signal, not to actually perform the reopen vote itself. (Note the wording, "should be considered for reopening") — Shadow The Spring Wizard 52 secs ago

Isn't clicking "Reopen" signaling "should be considered for reopening as well? — trejder 33 secs ago
[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Shadow The Spring Wizard
Not dumb at all, but trying to think how to explain better. However, key point is more technical: those are two different actions. One is just editing, one is voting to reopen. Also, not all users can vote to reopen even their own questions, it requires the view close votes privilege, usually given at 250 reputation. — Shadow The Spring Wizard 20 secs ago

I agree that it doesn't make any sense. The only people who really benefit from this design are mods who want the community to make reopen decisions instead of unilaterally voting. Or maybe people who've used up all their reopen votes (never seen that happen, however). — Laurel 52 secs ago

What's your intent with this question? It's tagged as a bug, which implies it's only reporting a general bug in the system, but you've asked "why did this happen", which isn't just a bug report and changes the focus of the question. You originally tagged this as support, which implies what you're looking for is to have your accounts fixed, but the only way for that to happen is for SE staff to handle it. The appropriate and effective way to ask for staff assistance for a specific account is for you to use the "contact"/"contact us" link at the bottom of the page. — Makyen 24 secs ago

Agreed, and why I started commenting on meta, perhaps the wrong meta, lesson learned, but the complain was really centric to the "deleted", the migration wording was just a misunderstanding. Problem was and still is, a post that is clearly programming assistance related, not malicious, locked and aske for more information with just a link, read the link, followed instruction, and post deleted without any meaningful explanation whatsoever on how to fix/avoid. Its a poor sense of any community, and what will drive people to bots answering questions vs egos ruling over forums. Opposite of help... — Sabre 29 secs ago

[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Makyen
@Shadow No. It's good and appropriate to report the bug here. However, the issue is covering the poster's intent. Most people in the OP's situation are primarily interested in resolving their account's issue, rather than reporting a bug in the system (as indicated by the first revision's support tag). That the issue is account related means the only resolution is to have SE staff handle the individual case (baring the maybe auto-resolution in a couple weeks mentioned in your link). The effective way to ask for staff support for an account is through "contact"/"contact us". — Makyen 11 secs ago
[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Makyen
[ Boson light ] New comment posted by Makyen
Back in 2013, when the Q&A you linked was posted, it was much more likely for a staff member to be monitoring meta, see such a report and resolve the individual problem. At this point, that's far less likely for that to happen (but it does, sometimes). I was trying to communicate that if the OP wants resolution for their account then the way to get that in a timely manner was to use "contact"/"contact us" to ask for assistance from SO Staff for their specific account. — Makyen 32 secs ago

People aren't homogeneous. The amount which individuals participated in the community varied both prior to being hired and while employees. How much each person participates after leaving employment is going to be (mostly) up to them (as long as SE doesn't prevent them from doing so for some unusual reason). Why do you think there might be a uniform answer to this for all past employees? — Makyen 58 secs ago

Hi @Makyen Thanks for the reply.

@BigJoe The vast majority of SO employees don't participate on the network as a direct part of their job function. There are some, primarily Community Managers, who do. For those people, the vast majority of the company business posts which they make which also gain them reputation are here on Meta Stack Exchange. What each person does appears to be up to the individual. There are definitely some people who participated quite a bit and kept using their accounts after leaving the company. There are others who haven't been heard from again (yet?). — Makyen 8 secs ago
