| Jul 23, 2018 at 17:39 | comment | added | Tezra | For unacceptable behavior, I'm still more concerned that "no harassment" is listed as unacceptable. I know everyone knows what you mean... but the double negative really undermines that section. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 18:55 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | Sometimes, despite the site's bias for long self-contained answers, the answer someone really needs is "this is what this thing is called, and here's how to find out more about it." It's hard to know what to search for if you don't know what something is called. I don't see what's wrong with posting an answer to that effect, which takes basically the same amount of effort as doing so in a comment | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 9:56 | comment | added | nvoigt | I have made a comment to that extend a few times. It might have been lost without context but that comment is not an answer, because it does not answer the question (admittedly hard to see without the question). It simply gives the OP a set of search terms so he can read up on a concept and then find their answer with that improved understanding of what is happening in his code. Actually writing a full answer would have been too long for our format. But I don't mind your suggestion for the change. It's fine either way. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 7:43 | comment | added | Reinstate Monica | @Joshua But users shouldn't answer in the comments, and users should google before asking. So why would you prefer to see an incorrect use of comments, rather than a correct if terse use? I'd totally agree if you said you'd rather see a friendly comment directing the user to the How to Ask page, rather than "you could google that.". | |

| Jul 19, 2018 at 16:59 | comment | added | user310756 | yeh I agree that google comment needs to be tweaked it's really open to wide interpretation. I can see it be argued up hill and down dale. "why was my comment deleted?" or "why was my flag declined?" | |
