Answer 1

I completely agree with you. I've never attacked them, and even when I think that their questions could be answered if they typed it in google I still answer those questions if they make sense.(you could see it if you follow threads in q&a).

But if there is chat feature (which is theme here) there would be many of them SPAMMING your inbox with questions you can't even understand or those that required 15 secs of googling, if there is not some kind of filter.

And when I answer these questions, I try to provide them links, so next time myb they will go to that site and try to find solution themselves.

Even in this discussion if they are reading this, some of them probably decided to ask less and find solutions without opening new threads. So our sharing of opinions is also a lesson to them.

And as you said we should learn them right ways of learning, and it will help them more than giving them cookie on plate to just copy and paste.

Answer 6

I don't see why people view another person asking for help as a burden. I love helping people and I love teaching people. If someone asks for help and you don't want to help them, ignore them. simple as that. Pride and ego are the drivers of people who look down on others simply because they are less fortunate. Please realize what truly matters. This app is bent around education. Every person has a unique way of learning.

Answer 7

You must realize that this app is worldwide. Different cultures have different ways of doing things. Yes they need to help themselves. So.. make them do it by ignoring them. Some people believe that they are helping themselves by seeking help from others. Depending on what the question is... they could be correct or they could be incorrect with that approach. But that's not what matters. What matters is that you do not attack them.. because you will confuse them.. because they will think you are angry at them for trying to learn in their own ways, whether they're the correct ways to learn or not. Lessons and knowledge: they come and go like tides. Allow people to at least learn the correct ways of learning. Instant bashing tends to be a bit more than a distraction for most.
We are all unique and value different ways of learning. Do not conform with the majority by trying to have a fish climb a tree. That is my advice.

If this feature comes in future update, one should be able to message those only whom he/she follows & he/she is followed by them too.
