I'm going to assume that an undutchable comment must then be a comment accompanied by a piece of merchandise from that site.

@Louis It's a book tied to various aspects of dutch life. Dutch'isms if you will. (well, it's a bunch of books).
> A hilarious yet profound and revealing look at the Dutch, their customs and their mentality. This exquisite satire
explores the most diverse aspects of daily Dutch life, from coffee to child rearing, from train travel to the toilet.Learn
why the Dutch believe, "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it,"
and why it's so hard to learn the Dutch language: "The more you try to learn Dutch, the more the Dutch refuse to speak
Dutch to you and the more they complain that you haven't learned it.”
 
Louis
Louis
@LynnCrumbling Yeah, I got that but how one gets from that to "undutchable" is a bit obscure.
 
Lynn Crumbling
Lynn Crumbling
Isn't that how the French operate? Try to learn French and they'll only speak english to you and call you dumb for not knowing french?
@Louis Ha. Hence the homework :)
@Louis You in the US, too?

Putting Gardening & Landscaping and Ask Different designs next to each other suggests that graduation may not be that big of a deal, after all.

@Frank Agree I agree, but there are many users with 20K + which answer cheerful OT questions and many 100 rep Deputies / Marshals which can not delete a NAA or close OT questions. I'm not sure if rep is the ultimative scale to be able enter review queues or to decide on deleting closing. Of course rep as an indicator how useful someone is just does it always fit for administartive tasks?

Clearly, YCS's suspension made him a vulnerable target in the downvoter rankings... The next user to pass YCS in downvotes-on-a-single site will be me, unless I get suspended myself...

@bummi Well, a site needs both a steering mechanism (administrative things like votes and reviews) and an engine (answering). Different users are better at different things.

What I think is funny is when I see spam being closed with a custom reason like, "this is self-promotional and should be deleted." lol
or commented under with "this is not a good site or that type of question. Please remove it."

Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is a privately held website, the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network, created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky, as a more open alternative to earlier Q&A sites such as Experts-Exchange. The name for the website was chosen by voting in April 2008 by readers of Coding Horror, Atwood's popular programming blog. It features questions and answers on a wide range of topics in computer programming. The website serves as a platform for users to ask and answer questions, and, through membership and active participation, to vote questions and answers up or down and edit questions...
^ There was a request on Meta a while ago to update the screenshot since it hadn't been updated since 2008, so I did, but now it's about to get taken down for "copyright violation."

@Frank Ok. FYI, webconverger's his product. (pricing page: webconverger.com/pricing)
Wish he'd disclose that.
 
Frank
Frank
@LynnCrumbling you mean on your second link? Yeah he should disclose that. Did anyone leave a comment?
I see not.
 
Lynn Crumbling
Lynn Crumbling
No.. he just says "I recommend this product" about the product he sells on both of the links I sent.
(that's why it feels so spammy to me)

@AstroCB I think it was a licensing issue; fixed (hopefully).

@AstroCB good.
@LynnCrumbling It is a little spammy. Someone should comment and tell him that what he's doing is fine if he discloses affiliation. If no response, down as spam...
