| Nov 24, 2017 at 2:49 | comment | added | agc | @sebasth, Agreed that indecipherable questions are useless, and that step-by-step tutoring is a bad fit here. But video config Qs needn't be indecipherable nor must they invariably require step-by-step tutoring. It's not the topic that makes such questions bad. | |
| Nov 23, 2017 at 23:09 | comment | added | sebasth | (cont.) Sometimes people try to provide help in comments. If an already closed question is edited to contain clear enough problem it can be re-opened (and if it is recent question it should appear in re-open review queue automatically). | |
| Nov 23, 2017 at 23:07 | comment | added | sebasth | It is irrelevant if the question is completely impossible to decipher (and people here are not psychics either as far as I know) or if the poster does not show any effort of solving their issue before posting. Asking for learning material is off-topic here. The Q&A format is not good for step-by-step tech support for trying to pinpoint out what the poster's actual issue is and there are plenty of other sites which people could try to get help instead. | |
| Nov 22, 2017 at 18:07 | comment | added | agc | @sebasth, Re "if they are skilled ... doesn't matter": Elvis Presley and Louis Armstrong were great musicians and made some good records, but couldn't read music. Requirements and prejudice can stifle culture. | |
| Nov 22, 2017 at 17:44 | comment | added | sebasth | The low quality questions rarely have any useful information nor show that the poster even tried to troubleshoot their issues themselves before posting (a camera photo of stuck boot process or compiler garbage). Regardless if they are skilled in something else or not doesn't matter, if they can not write up a question that anyone can provide an useful enough answer to. Overall, I'd say some troubleshooting skills and background knowledge are required if one tries to do something not officially supported (or something nobody has documented a working solution/guide elsewhere). | |
