Should threads like these be posted?

Question

I recently encountered the following thread :
https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/697553/?ref=app
Is this thread even necessary? Don't we have like 'so many' more of these spamming the Q/A Thread?

This section is for discussions, getting help or suggestions during programming, right?

Here are more :

What do the mods have to say on this?
Shouldn't the people posting these atleast do a search before?

Does anyone there think that there should be a limit ?

Answer 1

Every time I encounter a duplicate, off-topic post, my eyes roll upwards, revealing the darkened blood vessels underneath which starts to throb upon reading the thread content. My palms get sweaty and I struggle to hold my device properly. My nerves become stimulated, as I fight to balance my hormones through the growing headache with deep, regular breathing. I experience seizures, causing my shoulders to dislocate themselves. My organs explode. I fall to the ground, writhing in pain. My facial expression traumatizes and corrupts little children. I hear demonic voices in my head. My fingers twist and bend into unholy signs when I search for links to similar threads and type out my pleas - U̥̫̫͍͋̓ͨ̐S̶̖̺̖̊́͌̅̑̐ͣ͝Ě̺̞̞͓̪̗ͫ͑ͣͬͧͮ ̑҉͍̯̠͓͞Ṯ̸̮͎̹̱͇̤̺ͭ͊̄̆͒̏ͬ̾͠ͅH̢̠̳͖͛͒ͪͬͥ̔E̷̵͙̜̯̣̹ͭ̊ ̴̠̗̙͙̓̒S̀͐ͫ̇ͪ̚͘͝͏͈̭̬͇̝̣E̗̬ͬ̈́͗̽͊͞Ạ̸̞̟̩ͭ̃ͭ͂̿ͬ̒̐̐Ȑ̦̞͈̖͉̎̌̋ͪ̅̀C̷̛ͥͨ̐͂͏̫̯̭̩̪̬H̝̖̫̫ͬ̈͋̆̓̅̅͌̕ ̛̪̤͊̋̇͆ͪ͐͟͝F̷͙͈̄̓ͥ̈ͤ̕̕U̵̡͚̯͓̭͍̼̞ͨN̛̫̜̿̋ͧC̤̝̮̰̯͍͊ͮT̠͎͖̞͗͑̄̈̃͊I̙̦͙̳̩̫̒ͅỎ̸͓͇̖̰N̴̫͔̠̆ͤͧ̂͗ͭ͂̀.

Answer 2

it's not just them.
hardly anyone does a search. it's more convenient to post a question than to google it on the web or Q/A.
making a archive with a short blurb and giving them post links is one of the way to let them know about it with a polite reminder about using search feature.

until Sololearn makes a overhaul of the search feature, FAQ, help section, content posts.
there's little you or me can do anything about it.
expect repeat, spam posts.

Answer 3

@Hatsy rei
that's understandable with 4924 posts 😂

Answer 4

irrelevant tags make the search quite difficult.
from this thing I remembered your post on that. your description was funny about people misusing the tags. still have a little laugh when I remember that.

note: even I ask you @Kinshuk why do you do this 😟 ? do you know the pains of searching this post by scrolling all the way though the sea of questions just because there was not the " tag " .
would have found it in 20 seconds instead of 5minutes of endless scrolling 😭...

Answer 5

@Kinshuk Vasisht
it's still not quite searchable just add the word tag & posts, search that will make it easier to search.

about this question it should have the word duplicate,spam, post, threads for better search.

PS: you have been forgiven 😀. when adding tags add some common, simple words from the question, topic. will be convenient while searching.

Answer 6

Usually the mods tell people to use the search function before posting and provide links to existing threads - or something like that.
We don't have instructions to handle these questions differently.
Of course those repetitive questions are annoying, but on the other hand: We don't HAVE to answer them, they could be simply ignored and will vanish in the list very soon after posting ;)

Answer 7

Hatsy please help me for my English Essay your description is 👌 😂

Answer 8

My typical tagging is the question itself.
Perhaps those tags could be removed
They have done no actual work

Answer 9

As long as it is harmless and non-repetitive I am okay with any post :)

Answer 10

Plus the search function isn't used as the most questions have inappropriate tags along with the meaningful ones...
I mean, why do these people tag all the languages in any kind of post?

Answer 11

For the questions above, I think the tag should be:

query/poll
programming
general

Or other tags like these.
Tagging languages makes no sense.

Answer 12

@Lord Krishna
Please revisit the post and tell me if the tags are correct now.
I am sorry I did that.
