Dec 12, 2015 at 20:22 vote accept Mankind
Dec 12, 2015 at 20:22 comment added Mankind @AsafKaragila ok, thanks. I guess I'll have to try to cope with the current way.
Dec 12, 2015 at 20:13 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod I didn't downvote, but on meta downvotes are generally a form of disagreement, and in particular in the case of feature requests they sort of saying "I don't think this is a good feature request".
Dec 12, 2015 at 20:11 comment added Mankind Also, I'm not sure if I get the meaning of down-votes. It is my understanding that they mean: "I think this is a really crappy post and I'm not even going to comment and tell you.". If true, feel free to tell me.

Dec 12, 2015 at 20:06 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod I'm not sure we're using the same metaphor. In mine they just jump and fall 2-3 meters into hard floor and break their legs. I don't know why you want to fill the pool and let them drown instead of evacuating them to the nearest hospital! :-)
Dec 12, 2015 at 20:05 comment added Mankind @AsafKaragila I completely understand the need to make people conform to the standards of the site, but if I may use the same metaphor, after they've gone into the empty pool, one could show them how to fill water into their pool instead of banishing them from the park.

Dec 12, 2015 at 18:34 comment added quid @Asaf: maybe we could link to videos of such in those welcome comments. ;D
Dec 12, 2015 at 18:18 comment added Asaf Karagila Mod While I agree in general that it's a good idea to be a bit more lenient with new users, I never had the heart to pity someone who cannonballs into the pool without checking there's water first. (And what I am trying to say is that people who don't first survey the site to see what questions look like, and what are reasonable standards, are partly guilty in whatever bad treatment they get.)
