MOTHERFUCKING SHIT FOR BRAIN RETARDS POSTING UTTER DUMB QUESTIONS ON STACKOVERFLOW EXPECTING YOU TO JUST GIVE THEM THE ANSWER AND FUCK OFF.
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THOSE MORONS THAT DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO SAY THANK YOU, LET ALONE ACCEPT YOUR ANSWER WHICH THEY JUST COPY/PASTE IN THEIR SHITTY FUCKING CODEBASE FULL OP STRING CONCATENATION BULLCRAP. CRAWL BACK TO THE SHADOWS FROM WHENCE YOU CAME YOU DUMBASS SLACKER SOFTWARE-NOOBS. YOU HAVE NO PLACE AMONG CARING DEVELOPERS!!!

All this uppercase made me dyslexic.

i tried SO once it was an ok experience I had netiquette and time on forums and such... however I realize that it was difficult to approach and ask questions properly and everything.... SO does a terrible thing letting noobs post, they also cant even contribute or upvote until much later...
it seemed very backwards to me so i left

And that, is why I don't post on SO

Unless I'm really desperate, like, so desperate I'd eat a scabby cat for the answer desperate.

I know the feels mate but we've all been there.

@tommy SO has a deep learning curve, yet its strictness also is relevant to its success. I do not miss the times of old school forums, and that is the one thing one has to grok: SO not a forum.

Ask clearly and to the point. Reduce the example to the necessary minimum. Don't side track. Listen for feedback.

I have lost count how often the process of writing a proper question (that can take quite some time) on stackoverflow led me directly to its solution.

It's not for chat nor brain storming nor finishing your project.

I do wonder how one can maintain that strictness of content quality while not driving away new users that may get rightfully downvoted for their off-topic content, but may see that as a personal attack by snobs.

@k0pernikus omg, this! So many times! SO the rubber duck for everyone!

**As long as you follow the rules of posting no one will be hurt**

Joke is a bit on you. I too detest questions that boil down to "why isn't x working" and then they include three pages of irrelevant code and in the end it was a typo.

Yet: Why did you answer? Why not flag the question for closure?

That's a rant, all right...
