Stack Exchange レビュー 54

Awful place were people are rude and have no answers to your questions only ego and shut you down. Scientific community complain about reach to the layperson but it's practices like what I experienced on this site that are the cause

Came looking for the answer to a question relating to orbital mechanics that had puzzled me. Read what was written on the thread, and showed them a simple counter-example to back up my conclusion which was (in short) that what they assert was wrong, only to have my answer deleted and a patronizing message in my inbox telling me my answer was not useful! Unpleasant, arrogant, and cliquey. I will leave them to it.

You thought the snobs on reddit were bad? The moderators are 10x worse. I ask legit questions on the electronics subforum and I got banned without notification, and a generic excuse (electrical engineering stack exchange > help center > asking > why are my questions no longer being accepted) "How can I get out of a question ban?
Begin by improving your existing questions:" in other words, they're calling me an absolute moron, an idiot, who is far too dumb to even be allowed to ask a question on their glorious high IQ forums where only the top 1% university intellectuals are allowed to talk. Maybe my last question was far too inferior, so I will let you judge for yourself: I found an old wall socket with earth and neutral connected together. No 3rd wire. Can't pull a 3rd wire. tl;dr disconnect neutral and earth or let them be? Either way is wrong. The answer from 1 of them was "call an electrician". I am the electrician, genius. Thanks for the unhelfpul answer.

Useless website.

These moderators remind me of high schoolers. Bless their hearts. I'll have to find a Stack Exchange alternative where questions and answers happen without this captcha system that won't let me access anything. Too much bot paranoia these days. Good lord.

I answered a question to an old post starting with "Hi. Late reply but if anyone still has problems with this, i found a super easy way to do it" and it gets edited out by a mod due to... unrelated commentary? I don't mind censoring out completely derailed posts but come on dude. It's a gaming thread, not a book.

They are biased and hypocritical. They will like the popular content, but if someone says something of real value which we can learn from, they dislike it. It's pointless really. They will say that they need more clarification, then they will say that the post is too long. They completely ignore what others have posted for questions and say that isn't a legitament discussion while someone else has spoken about the same thing, and they are rude.

This platform used to be inspirational and collaborative, but lately it has become flat, closed and toxic.

The ideologues highjacked the dialog, giving what are demonstrably wrong answers.

I have been using the Stack Exchanges for over 10 years now. I find that the quality of my answers tend to be very high. That is, the individuals posting answers know what they are doing.

However, I have found the rules to be strict and posts are down voted or edited for very minor reasons. The people that run this site what very good questions and very good answers. As such, they do not always do a first rate job in giving you the help you want. I also feel that the is nastier today then it was 5 years ago.

I asked questions worth answering but only four to five views and no answer. But when other people asked rubbish questions even it was seen by thousands and answered of course. So very bad experience.

What a waste of time. Today I submitted a well-thought, well-documented response and got an "too much spam from your domain." I'm not using a VPN and I have never seen this before. My suggestion is don't bother with Stack Exchange, and I wonder, especially looking at the reviews here, is this site dead?

Can't even contribute to an answer or upvote someone's answer that made your day. *sarcastic voice* "Sign up! Oh sorry you need reputation to tell everyone else that this answer worked and that you appreciate it...". Ridiculous.

Discouraged to answer if there are more than two answers.

This is the MOST TOXIC and LESS DEMOCRATIC place on the web, no jokes.
I ended up deleting my account, after having been down-voted and (kind of) insulted for the N-th time.
I pretty never got any help asking my questions there, only anger and frustration. And this, if you look around thru various forums, like Reddit and others, seems to apply to *most people*, I am definitely NOT the only one who says that.
Stackexchange could have been a democratic place where individuals could both gain and share their knowledge in many scientific topics. Not instead. That is a toxic community, driven by reputation points, where those who gained many feel entitled and legitimated to act and behave like actual GODS, bullying and trolling who has less.
Despite my correct attitude and my attempts to always pose original, unsolved questions, to formulate and format them properly, to check and revise them, and to add the most relevant tags, every time I found somebody ready to down-vote my questions, or to add bad comments reprimanding me for ALLEGED, often non-existing issues. And NO HELP. It is like a JUNGLE, where the "law of the stronger" dominates. No jokes !
The same community without reputation points and without the possibility to down-vote would have been a better and more democratic place in my humble opinion. Stay off and live better !!!!

Joined 8 years ago, my initial community was for Mac/Apple users called "Ask Different". Then over years joined 6 other specialty sites. Almost impossible to gain any traction or ability to interact or find answers due to the ridiculously high hurdles of needing things like 50 Reputation points before you could even post a comment. But so many more obstacles that made the usability of the site, as well as the primary objective to glean knowledge and answers to be virtually impossible. Far worse is the toxic culture where "elders" high five each other's powers to SHUT DOWN THREADS, vote new people down into oblivion, provide arrogant answers that are not on point, and removing any ability to seek clarification. In my most recent outings, I had followed up on a question I did manage to ask earlier this year. But the answers from the deified ones allowed to answer were OFF-TOPIC and ignored the substance of screenshots and context presented by me. When I tried to re-engage with a comment stating there were no relevant answers to my question, and that people were downvoting and behaving with "that isn't an actual problem", I pointed out that there was a similar question asked on the site 5 years ago and STILL had no relevant answers, but I was pointing out from so many comments on that older thread, that the problem I cited WAS and still is a problem, and that continuing to authoritatively shut down attempts to please get an answer was antithetical to the site's purpose. What did the MOD do? The mod terminated my thread, I received a notice of deletion, with the explanation "DUPLICATE QUESTION"! I pointed out the only reason you arr asserting that is because *I* provided the link to an older version of the question. I tried for years to play ball, accept the still rules of can't do this, not enough points to do that, I couldn't even post a clarification to an ANSWER on another post that was only partially right -- as in only if using the latest version on macOS -- I wanted to provide info saying that should NOT be selected as the CORRECT ANSWER because it was narrowly conditional. One last straw was the outright abuse I received in a Teacher's thread re chronic lateness of a student. And I posted to postulate it's possible the student has ADHD and may not even know it. I was providing knowledge. But my words were struck down, comments were antagonistically "ablest" with complete disrespect for American Disabilities Act and the information I posted with a link to the source re Accommodations people are entitled to by law. My information was ruthlessly downvoted and that was it. I was done trying to gain any value from the hyper toxic soup. STAY AWAY! There are alternatives like Quora and reddit where the hostilities are far less, and willingness to help far greater.

One of my worst experience here at this platform! Some dumbhead moderators and users at Stack exchange ! The moderators and other people who are experienced at this platform think that they are hundred percent right without even acknowledging the statement of others. Listen to problems first then give your stupid comment. My question was deleted even before letting me explaining the situation in detail. You people think that you people are perfect and pure as hell?

Excellent knowledge on mold and GERD connection. Now need to worry about veterans with this toxic exposure

I was hoping to be able to have meaningful discussions here with highly qualified people in the area of Theoretical Physics to help answer my queries.

In the event there appears to be a small group of inexperienced, unqualified armchair enthusiasts who, faced with a query they do not understand, hide the question from other more qualified people who ironically would understand the query and be able to help. I am sure this was not the original vision for physics.stackexchange.com.

Moderators are not at all helpful, and this website appears well-known for it
