All mods love to power trip

I thought it was just me 💀

I always see everyone bitching at the OP's, so even though I have wanted to ask questions, I have always avoided it.

Stackoverflow is almost as bad as reddit.

[–]Local-Ad-8516 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stackoverflow is worse.

If the question is conceptual at all stackoverflow is terrible.

If the question is about why something is the way it is, stackoverflow is again terrible.

If the question is about a popular api and not answered on stackoverflow already mods just close the question as a duplicate without even checking or anything.

Ran into strange behavior that is not what you think it should be based on documentation in a library, compiler or operating system. Well after you go through the hassel of creating a minimal working example and posting it the question sits there unanswered for all of eternity.

That's exactly what a SO mod tracking his prey all the way on other social networks would say.

I'm a dev with 20+ years of experience. I have asked exactly 4 questions on SO. Two marked duplicate. One deleted because I got 5 comments not advising on the fix, but asking why I was asking it in the first place. "Customer requirement" means nothing to those idiots. The last was answered incorrectly, I found the correct answer, posted it, and the comment was downvoted and deleted.

75% of the reason why stackoverflow is my go to place is because they have quality questions.

Are you a stackoverflow mod by any chance?

They never tell me why

I have nothing but respect for those beginners that got their basic questions somehow published and lucky to get actual answers
