this got declined, but apparently the one below did not: stackoverflow.com/questions/2244774/qt-creator-color-scheme/…

I do not see much difference between the quality of the two answers.

I guess it is the question of whether some newcomer steps in pressing "Looks good".

How many possible responses exist for: show your code?

Again: show your code. I can't reason about code I don't see and your last comments makes be a little bit worried... — rene 1 min ago

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/233451/… I'm not seeing what he's talking about on SO.

in a period of like 11 days he had more than -800 for 8 user removed stackoverflow.com/users/2963652/…

bjb568

Andy

Wow. -48. I'm impressed

user0000000

@bjb568 Oh Thanks, I thought he was talking about the SO graph specifically.. I should have read the first two words of his post.

bjb568

rene

I guess it is showing REAL reputation...(without the we are nice, you can't have negative rep nonsense)

user0000000

7:08 PM

it seems like -48 is the lowest that graph can go

before @bjb568 posts this

-8

Q: What might be so ironic for programmers than this?

I am sure this question will be closed and I will say nothing about it. However,I don't know a place where I can share this kind of information which makes ONLY PROGRAMMERS, laugh, chuckle and finally think about what went wrong. So please bear with me, read it and if you don't feel right, close ...

Bart

2k and then you still do crap like that?

bjb568

Yup.

I wish us low reps had a "recommend deletion" flag.

user0000000

It's not even funny at all.. Shit happens. Unless this David guy is really stuck up know it all type, then it might be a little funny, but I don't know him

Q: How do I tell a colleague that I don't want to add him to Facebook?

I consider Facebook to have information that is personal and that I only share with close friends and family. However, in my new workplace I’ve been asked several times for my Facebook username and/or have been friend requested and I don’t want to sound rude by telling them that I don't want to a...

@davidkonrad: perhaps downvote could help with getting rid of this "answer". Some newbies will press "Looks good" in the review queue if it is upvoted. I cannot flag it anymore unfortunately... I migrated this now into a comment under the corresponding answer. Please robo-reviewers, do not press looks good just because it is upvoted. — Final Contest 2 mins ago

Braiam

@Stijn yea

Stijn

@Braiam thank you, editing a question with a screenshot instead of text.

Browsing swift-language, it seems to be filled with really basic questions of people who didn't bother to read the docs at all.

@Stijn: the new apple commercializing of rust?

Stijn

@FinalContest yeah :)

apple ... they usually do not invent, just rebrand into vendor lock-in stuff.

@Stijn: that being said, I like that they did not object to named parameters like the rust guys...

I am not sure why the link-only flag was dismissed here: stackoverflow.com/questions/2244774/qt-creator-color-scheme/…

I would avoid participating there, though. It's for a class, and they appear to be using it more as a discussion board than an actual Q&A site. This is abysmal as far as following the Q&A format.

Why don't they use reddit or something?
