| Oct 30, 2016 at 14:50 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | @DoritoStyle Yep. ATM moving to comments is one way only. So there needs to be some way to reverse this to prevent users from abusing this feature. But unfortunately, Jon doesn't like increased comment moderation. | |
| Oct 30, 2016 at 14:44 | comment | added | user343082 | "move to comment" is quite an elegant idea to solve part of this problem. It allows moderation to prevent poor comments being posted as well as educates the new user a bit. It has some potential for abuse, but no more the current system at first glance. | |
| Oct 23, 2016 at 12:38 | comment | added | Clay | Mabe a first-class, voted and scored follow-on question, with full answer-box editing. Could look like a comment but be blown open as needed. Answers could be moderator-demoted to such a thing. | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 9:07 | comment | added | gnat | ...you can use that stats request as example if you want: How many questions do we get from users recently blocked at SO, how many of these are closed / deleted? (I am not sure if MSE would be the right place for it though, probably MSO is a better fit) | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 9:04 | comment | added | gnat | @BhargavRao non mods can't reliably monitor that and as far as I know even mods can't, bumps into blocks are only kept internally in the system and one needs dev access to see. Regular users can only guess by checking questions in the user profile and mods can only make a bit better informed guess because they can additionally see the history of user deleted questions. If you want to learn more then probably the only way is to request SE team for stats on how many NAAs are posted by recently blocked askers (FWIW there was similar request at Programmers meta and they gave stats on it)... | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 8:58 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | Interesting point @gnat, I remember one such user who had asked a question in place of an answer. They later confessed that they were question banned. After that answer, they were answer banned too. (Perhaps). But I haven't seen that as a regular occurrence. Do you have any idea as to how to monitor those users? (as a non-mod). If so, we can certainly find out if it occurs more often and add that as a new request to Tim. | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 8:18 | comment | added | gnat | "What makes people write a question in place of an answer?" -- attempt to circumvent a question ban might be a popular reason for that. As far as I know system keeps an (internal) record of users bumping into the block - that makes it possible to, say, trigger a warning if it detects attempt to answer after a recent block. "Wait! You've recently been blocked to ask questions. Consider that if you are posting question into the answer it will be deleted. Please select the check box 'I understand that and I am going to post an answer, not a question' in order to proceed answering" | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 1:36 | comment | added | TylerH | @zwol we could mitigate a lot of that problem by allowing some basic formatting in comments and increasing the character limit (or not counting code blocks toward the character limit) | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | @zwol Yeah, I hate those types of NAAs. Those which are too long to fit into a comment. (Like these). But, in my experience, They're usually good enough to be another question or bad enough to be deleted with no loss of useful material. There has been no in between. Thanks anyway, I'll be monitoring the late answers 10k tools and try to find out such posts. | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 14:19 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | @Ian, For your first comment, The answers will still pass through the first post (and/or late answer) review queues. So, those posts might still be discovered. Another way might be to alter the Warning label in such a way that it informs the users that they are asking a question and not an answer. For your second comment, Yes, That's a better idea. | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 14:14 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | Maybe make ever use that has had an answer deleted as "not an answer" complete and pass a test before they can post anther answer. | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 14:14 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | If we make someone rewrite their “not an answer” before they think it has been posted, it will become harder to find them. | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 14:06 | comment | added | zwol | This problem won't go away for good until comments cease to be treated as second-class and ephemeral, but one thing that would really help is a way to explicitly ask the OP a complicated question, one that won't fit into the comment box. "In order to answer this question I need you to run the following test program and report its output: [code...]" is the prototypical case, but there are others. | |
| Oct 18, 2016 at 7:54 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | @dorukayhan While NAAs are being detected with a pretty good accuracy, The bot has a lot of fps with VLQs. Hence I feel that it's still a bit premature. Smokey on the other hand, has been tested a lot. | |
| Oct 17, 2016 at 22:18 | comment | added | user8397947 | "Detect the answers as NAAs by using simple techniques like, Post ending with question mark, etc." Actually this is status-almost-completed. All we have to do is to integrate NATOBot to the system as well as SmokeDetector! | |
