Certainly. And deep contemplation.

Get off my lawn, you young whippersnapper!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I had asked a programming question several days ago. Now its status says that the question is deleted. But it does not say for which reason. Or even I didn't get notified.
Was the question inappropriate to ask there?
I'm actually new to the Quick Answers[^] So it would be helpful for me if could know the reason of deleting my question.
This is the question link:
Go language slow compile......[^]

You'd have to ask Sean - and he's Canadian, so it'll be a few hours before he will be in the office.
But ... if I had to guess, he deleted it because it's not a question ... there isn't any real information there, there's no explanation of exactly what the problem is, the environment in which you get the problem, the specifics of how it's "so slow" or what the "small program" might be, what system you used to compile it, or even how you timed it! And a slow compiler probably isn't a problem we could fix anyway - you'd be best asking the people who produced the compiler, rather than a random website!

Hmmm, it could be this is a very M$ Visual Studio site, though there is a move toward other languages Python etc. I don't know if Go is supported yet (in fact you are the only person I have seen who uses Go). The important thing if the question fell foul of the Hamsters it was probably due to the fact a question on Go ended up in the C++ section and was mistaken for spam. In general the users here abouts are not the type to make you wish you had done Cooking instead of Computer Science. If you ask a question and show you (& probably uncle Google) have tried they will help...

There are some elements who over-moderate the Q/A forums and take the liberty to delete questions, mock those who ask questions, etc. without offering much of any real help. Some of them may have high "reputation" (can't buy beans in exchange for it), and it makes them feel entitled to do some really childish things.
Having said that, it might very well be that your question wasn't really a question, or it flouted some or the other guidelines for posting a question.
Sometimes it's somewhere in between; and with no visibility to the question itself, it's hard for anyone here to accurately say anything. I personally feel that whoever deleted it at least could have posted a comment on why they're doing so.

|

It still has visibility, if you have sufficient privilege.
For the record, the whole question was:
I really don't understand that why Google's Go language takes so much time to compile a small program. I'm wondering if there is any way to compile faster. If there was something that I missed...
What I have tried:
Tried using compiled libraries but doesn't help so much. Or maybe I've done it in wrong way...

I should have probably tried to look that up, but I'd not be surprised if I didn't have any privilege points left to see the question. Because I haven't been active on the Q/A or C++ forums, like in about 6 years or so.
I did lay out the possibility of the question being not of great quality. But the over-zealous moderation is probably still going on out there. Just don't want to take names here, but you'd probably know what I'm talking about because you've been active on the Q/A forums.

What kind of overzealous moderation do you mean?

I do not know of what's happening these days, but at least a year or so ago, there were people from the community that took the liberty to mock people whenever possible, and in extreme cases even delete questions that they deem not fit.
I reckon this gentleman with Russian sounding name was behind most of those. I think there were a few threads on that in the lounge and elsewhere.

Very few people can delete threads and we trust those with power who can do so. And if you look, you can see your Russian gentleman has been in hibernation some time.

I wouldn't have known of the hibernation. Not been taking part much in the technical and q/a forums myself for a while now. I only knew of that because of the noise that was created a while ago.

I wouldn't bother...what possible solution could there be? If he doesn't like how a google product performs then he should contact google and tell them to make their coders get good.

Actually the question is more than two weeks old. Periodically we go in and delete questions that have been unanswered for a week. Reason being, at that point they're unlikely to be answered, which doesn't have any value to the question asker and doesn't have any value to the site because it's a question that will sit there with no answer.
Thanks,

OK. I think I've able to realize the reason now. Thanks for letting me know I will try to keep all these in my mind when asking a question in future.
Thanks again!
