I'm pretty sure that I have never written something like that. Do you have an example?


Supplying examples of your claims.

You did write "If we treat, for instance, a newbie not knowing what a "ring buffer" is like a criminal, as happened here, or if the word "urgently" in a thread is enough to convict a newbie as lazy student, whom's thread must be closed immediately, we shouldn't be surprised when they leave this forum and will never come back."

So is it common that threads magically gets closed on a whim?

First page of threads has one thread closed - a duplicate thread. One homework.
Second page of threads has one thread closed - a duplicate thread.
Third page of threads has three threads closed - a duplicate thread, a spam, and a paused "reopen when the OP returns with more info".
Fourth page of threads has no closed threads.
Fifth page of threads has has reached the auto-lock timer. But it has two threads paused.
Sixth page - two paused and one resolved.
Seventh page - no closed.
Eight page - no closed.

And to be more specific - that ring-buffer thread was closed by inactivity. Before that, it had a time span of almost four months.

Being able to show that your facts are actually based on real facts, is what I call "do your home work".

The next thing is that you really do have to understand that an online forum and a school room are not comparable. We do not get any feedback from a poster but explicitly what they writes. We can tell people that they have to be more explicit. They can chose to ignore that. The end result of missing input is lack of output. Too bad for you, but asking for help on a forum really do require a two-way communication. Nothing wrong with one side of the communication being in broken english. But total lack of communication will end up in a failure to get help. That is not something you can blame the regulars for.
