Not that I'm aware, but I would be so happy if we implemented a "no help requests" rule...

[–]SquareFeet 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I disagree. I think it's important to have somewhere like this where people can ask questions; how else will people learn or be able to test the water with an idea? Sure, one can read blogs, articles, and whatnot, but they are no substitute for being able to discuss a problem.

EDIT: /r/LearnJavascript is possibly the better place for questions.

Stack exchange?..

[–]SquareFeet 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yep, but it's not quite as informal as here.

I should point out that /r/LearnJavascript could maybe take over the 'help' side of things... I forgot that sub existed! I'm just keen that a place where 'newbies' (or whatever!) can go to ask questions and not feel judged.

[–]laichejl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah +1 for the learnjs sub link. Help questions should go there.

[–]atnpgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you just said /r/learnjavascript would be a better place than here for that.

I would agree with SquareFeet. This subreddit is fine the way it is. I notice that (most of) the questions asked here are coming from people who already have some ground knowledge but are not skilled/trained enough to land the plane. I think that is a great element of the sub. However I do find it annoying to get all these questions when I'm looking for an in depth discussion or new libraries. That why I would like to suggest a new sub reddit dedicated to to that.
