Sep 17, 2013 at 8:23 comment added user213634 @DiegoCNascimento I understand that you don't want to flag, but prefer to help in a more gentle/non-excluding way - but in this case commenting is better, especially for question one. Explain to the user why he can expect to see downvotes, highlight some improvements he can make (ie. he should include code, screenshot) and see if he does it. For the second, if you flag as a duplicate, the system automatically inserts a comment to that effect.

Sep 16, 2013 at 20:43 comment added Servy @DiegoCNascimento Yes, I know. I agree with the poster in that regard. I was addressing your comment in which you said you're still trying to help the users despite knowing this.
Sep 16, 2013 at 20:42 comment added Diego C Nascimento @Servy that's what this answer say, why comment? Anyway by the edits on this post, you could see how things work here. Some are just formating that according to some posts on meta should be rejected.
Sep 16, 2013 at 20:40 comment added Servy @DiegoCNascimento And yet it's not really possible for you to fix the question enough for them to be appropriate. You can help a bit, but only so much. At the very least you should be voting/flagging to close in addition to editing, in a case where the post should still be closed even after the edit.

Sep 16, 2013 at 20:31 comment added jscs Yes, this is an important point: don't bother polishing turds. Flag instead.
Sep 16, 2013 at 20:30 comment added Diego C Nascimento true Anders, I'm a bit "no flag" that type of questions to close, as I try to help new users that don't know the community way.
