#152263 - Not quite what I meant
Responding to: ???'s previous message

... instead of letting people posting -1, or +1 bluntly , they should have to fill in a text line stating reason (as Andy said)

That wasn't actually quite what I had in mind.

The way I was interpreting Craig's suggestion is that there would still be the list of options to choose from - so the explanatory text would be fixed, and not manually typed by the "voter"
The options really just need to cover those frequent instructions that would just add "noise" if posted as "normal" replies in the thread.
The most frequent ones are:
  • Please do basic research for information already available on the internet, in the "bible", tutorials, FAQs, previous discussions, datasheet/manual and/or other manufacturer's documentation for the product

  • This post does not provide adequate information to be able to answer the question (link to how to ask smart questions)

  • Please provide schematics and/or source code (link to instructions)

  • Please provide meaningful comments for this code (link to guidelines?)

  • Please format your source (give link to insteuctions)

  • Please don't use SMS abreviations

  • Please don't ask for your project to be done for you - for free!

  • This question is not relevant to this forum and/or this thread
