Weird: among 14K+ questions that Normal Bot favorited so far, there are a bunch of deleted ones (typically, author-deleted because they thought better of it). I can see them in the bot's profile, but the bot itself cannot (doesn't have 10K), so it cannot unfavorite them.

Desperate attempts to get new members. Come here, all you who are incompetent, lazy, desperate, and be showered with help.

@MiceElf Do you think everyone will eventually give up answering meta whines and homework dump? I believe not, proof: Mathematics

No offense tho'.

user259867

Meta whines don't matter. It's these invitations with a promise of tutoring, hand-holding of some sort... all the language is written with that angle.

I bet whoever wrote that doesn't spend much time answering questions on the sites.

Jon Ericson

23:44

@MiceElf Honestly, we think we've reached nearly all active English-speaking programmers. Anecdotally, the only reason people don't signup and get active is the perception that if you stick your neck out to ask or answer a question, you'll get your head handed back.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@MiceElf Hmm. I wondered that too.

user259867

Sure, scraping the bottom harder and harder.

user259867

Answering a question doesn't seem so dangerous. I answered 108 of them on SO. The total number of downvotes received: 0

Jon Ericson

@MiceElf Since asking lazy questions requires signing up, we've already got enough of those folks. It's the good programmers (the sort that might actually read before posting) that we'd really like to involve.

@MiceElf The people who've heard that Stack Overflow is rude don't make that differentiation.

@MiceElf Truth is there ain't no way to avoid that desperate people asking for help. The only hope is attracting people who have interesting palate cleansers.
