Answer 1

I agree with that. Many people also put useless questions and spam in the Q&A section.

There is actually something similar to a "Good Question Checklist" in the Sololearn Blog: https://www.sololearn.com/Blog/38/8-simple-rules-to-get-help-from-the-community/

Answer 2

Sandra Meyer Indeed...

And yet, so many struggle to put together enough of a well formed thought to construct a coherent question or provide answers that weren't merely an echo of the same basic responses already being blasted everywhere.

So... yeah... a good communications course would serve well for the general would-be programmers and aspiring hackers of the world. 😜🤘

Answer 3

Many apps or sites have a scheme where people - by being active in the place - first have to earn their right to use specific features.

So they are forced to get accustomed by themselves (which is frequently not that hard, if you try) and are then rewarded with more 'responsibilities'.

At times, such a scheme can be rather harsh. I've seen a chess place where you had to play a few dozen games before you earned the right to chat.

We have no such filter here, weak or strong, not at all. So naturally, everybody who comes here first, just posts, whatever comes to mind, often at random.

And since there's so much of offtopic, spam, duplicates, homework posts etc. going around already, there's hardly any incentive for other users to act differently.

Answer 4

FAQ could introduce a little better and I would love to have a code formatting within posts! And I would love to sort out those questions from my list view, it's e.g. very hard to filter for unanswered questions.

Min number of characters in description would be nice too, there are so many posts without any content, some post their complete message into the title - so this should obviously be shortened...

Answer 5

Sometimes the small things can help, user guidance: Minimum keywords required, additional step to add new keywords which are not listed as senseful keywords. Better hints in default values as just title and description. *Code detector* asking if better to add a project instead of posting code directly. And it would be really nice, if there was a global search in Q&A AND tutorials / lessons and so on...

Answer 6

You can write to [e-mail].

Answer 7

Possibly sololearn should remove the 5 likes-goals for badges completely to avoid or at least reduce spam. Or replace them by once 50 likes and next badge for once 100 likes and so on, just start so high, that it's too difficult to reach by spamming (btw. a single post with 50 likes would be much less annoying then 50 times of completely bulls*bingo for 5 likes).

Answer 8

A communication skills course 💭 btw. social / communication skills _are_ important developer skills!

Answer 9

Pro recommendations *what's next* after each course / lesson! To avoid "I've finished HTML and CSS, what's next?"!

Answer 10

How can I delete my account - this is a frequently occurring question for good reasons - many deletions are done before the user has some experience with the app. And it's quite outdated not to provide an account-deletion feature.
