@Telkitty yeah, it's kinda weird

for easy questions they just say "sure whatever, here's fine"

but for harder questions they usually say "you'll be able to find better advice on X other site (but it's not off-topic here)"

@Derpy you mean 6, there are also 2 deleted answers, but none got any upvotes which is good sign.

@IlmariKaronen chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fix-chrome-middle-click-b/…

Interesting... not sure if it's a "bug" of Chrome though.

@ShadowWizard still approved.

We should really stop giving out positive rep for questions closed as dupes or other negative reasons.

@Derpy I can't see where we gave positive rep for the question I linked here though.

In general, some good questions can get closed as dupes/off topic it's totally fine to upvote those.

2:51 PM

@ShadowWizard accepted answer is still score. I didn't mean just the question. I am bored of seeing people still trying to farm rep on dupes.
