| Oct 11, 2012 at 8:56 | comment | added | lll | It's very simple. See a crap question or answer. Vote to close. Click the profile of the associated user and review the quality of other recent questions/answers. The odds are if there is no effort put in one, there will be no effort put in others. It actually makes it very easy to clean up some of the garbage on SO when users make consistently bad posts. We see people doing it every day, answering for the sake of building rep instead of closing as a duplicate or too localised, or whatever. If you make good posts, and make an effort to keep SO clean, you're never going to be a "victim" of this | |
| Oct 11, 2012 at 6:25 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | Who ever answered in comments you all got wrong the idea of the question and you changed it's purpose in what way you wanted. My question was WHY targeting and not the quality of the posts. And you started to delete more questions where I was involved. I've taken each one of you and looked at your answers, you all got same answer principle as I had. So why aren't you starting to delete your own answered questions? | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:36 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | @DaveRandom I never said Gordon "deleted" my answers for no reason, there is always a reason, and his reason was fair enough. I fact my original question had nothing related about that questions or him. I just asked if it is ok, someone else modified my question and added links and then all this started. Like I said, he targeted me and not for bad reasons, I'm guessing he "reviewed" my answers and deciced to delete all questions. I didn't get frustrated because he and other 2 deleted my answers, the "targeting" on chat was frustrating, when he said: DELETE, that's what happened in next 5 min. | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:28 | comment | added | David X. Random | No one person is ever targeted. It has never happened. If it gets suggested in chat, it is in jest. The practice of soliciting close/delete votes is contentious enough as it is (see various questions on meta, I can't find the links off hand) - we make sure that we play within the rules, because at the end of the day we are trying to help the site. Persecuting any particular user(s) is, if anything, hurting it. If you feel you are being targeted (and you aren't), chances are the reason is because you keep getting involved with sub-standard questions. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:26 | comment | added | Bart | @MihaiIorga It's more about the sound of them. User is pronounced with a 'y' sound at the beginning. Making it "a user" instead of "an user". The inverse goes for "hour" where the "h" is silent, resulting in "an hour". | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:17 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | @casperOne, i'm sorry for the comment to Rachel, but I was getting to frustrated and she just made more flame. About the questions if you read the last comments bellow and what Gordon said on chat was really targeting me, if there was only one at a time I wouldn't said anything. I was wrong. But I'm 100% he was targeting me. I'm sorry I even said anything. Please delete the question. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:14 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | Also, no one targeted you. They targeted the questions. The answers were not deleted because they were yours, but there isn't a mechanism to keep answers undeleted while questions are deleted (it doesn't make sense, if you think of it). | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:12 | comment | added | casperOne Mod | Making comments such as "are you talking just to say something" (the one you made to @Rachel) is rude. This is not tolerated, to the point where it's codified in the faq. You might not like what she is trying to say, but she is trying to help, just as most other people here are. You would do well to remember that in your interactions with everyone here. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 19:00 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | Yes, I was pointing what I am using to achieve the OP's goal. But they weren't just links, they were full answers with solution | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:59 | comment | added | Rachel |
@MihaiIorga Two of your answers simply say "use LinkToFunctionName();" followed by a code sample, and the third says "double equals if (($a%3 == 0) && ($a%5 == 0)) {". I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with answering basic questions, but if your answer is basic as well then there's a higher chance of the question getting closed/deleted at some point.

| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:59 | comment | added | Pekka | @Mihai sometimes a good answer can save a question from deletion. But would you seriously argue that was the case in any of these examples? I'm not saying the answers were bad, not at all. They sure helped the OP. But are they artifacts that should be saved for future generations? That have no better explanation elsewhere? Nah. The questions were textbook "too localised", and the answers didn't change that. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:49 | comment | added | Rachel | I too don't mind answering basic questions, but I try to be sure my answers are very substantial and will contain enough good content so that someone will think twice about deleting the question just because the answer is a very through explanation. These questions appear to be very basic, and your answers all appear to just be links to the function needed and the code needed to solve the problem, with almost no explanations at all. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:42 | comment | added | Pekka | Stop answering crap questions and the problem will go away. | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:34 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | Why he didn't ask to delete this: stackoverflow.com/questions/12821891/…, he asked only close: chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/5716089#5716089 it is same as localized as those were. He was clearly targeting me | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | OK, i believe that. But why targeting me and deleted based on chat ? And they are not that localized .. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | Pekka | Sorry, but those questions were all too localized and deserved deletion IMO. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:29 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | I have 3 jobs at this moment, and I simply love SO and all it's features, I like to help others, but it's frustrating when I get home and I see my answers deleted, and SO is time consuming .. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:27 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | they were only targeting me, no other delv | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:27 | comment | added | Mihai Iorga | chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/5715567#5715567, chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/5715574#5715574, chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/5715583#5715583 | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 18:26 | comment | added | Mysticial | I can't speak for whether those questions deserve to be deleted. But if they were specifically targeting you, then this doesn't seem right. | |
