Went and clicked on today's Google logo animation[^]. What's been done for Bob?
No wonder he's just standing there.

Bob is continually moving.
Just so fast that he appears stationary to the untrained eye.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I speak of the accolades. The glory. The knowing look of greatness.
The untrained eye? Bah! 'Tis like the tree falling in the forest where there are none to hear it. What matter if there be a sound?
Speak not so! A video for the pantsless one!

I just downvoted this one
It fails to explain:
a) what the actual intention was
b) what the problem is
c) what has been attempted (if, indeed, anything has)
And it does that annoying thing of have the title as the text.
The only thing that's remotely in its favour is that it starts with the word "please."
It is, however you look at it, a very poor question. I don't often downvote, but this one really had me thinking "Oh! Do come on! At least make a bit of an effort before you waste the time of people who are prepared to answer questions for you!"
Would anyone regard this as a harsh action?

Whereas I agree with you that it is indeed a poorly formulated question, I can't help but feel that the OP may not be very good at English.
That's quite a dilemma: CP is an English speaking site, and a lot of members expect other members to have a perfect command of the English language. On the other hand, there are plenty of developers than don't have English as a native tongue, but still experience problems they need help with.
Surely, it's not fair to be rude to members for not being able to speak perfect English, but on the other hand, it does limit the help we can give them. 
BTW: I noticed that apparently it is no longer possible to see who posted the question... That seems odd to me. Would anybody care to explain why?

I have been a member here for a long time, and it makes me chuckle when members bring Q&A bullshit to the Lounge, usually for the public embarrassment of the Q&A-OP, however it is packaged. This post is nothing more than that, IMHO.

I ask merely in light of recent discussions where some have suggested that it's harsh to be judgmental about newbie posts - I certainly have no intention to embarrass the OP who is highly unlikely to see my post my here.
I've not factored into anything the fact that the poster is not a first-language English speaker or the level of his coding skills. Simply, that it's a very poor question in that it doesn't actually ask anything.

If I started a thread for every QA question I downvoted\reported I'd need my own section 
If it's a crap question, it's a crap question, downvote and move on.

No. And if someone does they should be tied to the same tree as the OP from the question and beaten with a wiffle bat together.

I think it's less harsh than my usual way: I completely disregard them and not waste even a second of my time on them, just by the title.
![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) , I would put them directly in the spam filter.

Did you downvote my answer too ? Well, guess crappy questions lead to crappy answers

I think someone downvoted your answer because there is a much simpler way to display a date string.
