Hi friends,
I have created about 7 IDs in StackOverflow.
But, Whenever I ask a question. People downvote it, and StackOverFlow bans me from asking questions. They don't even bother to answer the questions. Rather, they say this problem, that problem blaah blaah blaah,,,
I have created about 7 Gmail IDs and used it to sign in for StackedOverFlow. Everything banned.
Now I left it, and hate it.
This codeproject Account I create long before. But I really like this. Eventhough I am not getting fast response, CodeProject is very patient, It gives me confidence to ask more.
Thanks so much friends

Yes.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

That would have been faster. You are shipping a big message through the wire.

Still got there first!

So did VB 1.0.
So did Neil Armstrong.
You know how people react to these, right?

I have found some useful information on SO, but equally I know exactly what you are talking about. I have seen many replies to questions downvoted simply because they didn't give the de facto industry expected solution. I even saw one reply not long ago where the reply was heavily downvoted (almost bordering on an attack) because the contributor gave some advice that flew in the face of popular convention. I actually found the advice to be very useful.
If you buck the trend on SO then you won't get along very well, unless you are already well know and respected throughout the technical community. It can be very cliquey.

I think the OP is having trouble getting a question asked let alone answered. I was not aware they nazi'd all over questions (never having asked on SO), answers I can understand. Unless the OP is asking completely idiotic question I would think the would at least be posted.
I find SO an excellent resource but not somewhere I would spend any time and not somewhere I would contribute to!

Yes - he who must not be named's approach is much closer to the norm in SO than it is here. Whatever you see here in Q&A is magnified through a hive mind on SO. Thoughtful answers often get short shrift too.
That said, where I work the prevailing attitude to CP is pretty negative. I've even been told "it's the shortest way to get the wrong answer" (which surprised me, given that I've always found the advice good) and it's too slow to get any kind of answer.

Possibly slow because many of us have stopped answering after being attacked by he who must not be named and having questions deleted after spending effort helping. I just don't need the stress. I've always said that he's more of a liability than an asset and would be more at home on SO.
The norm here is clearly more respectful of students and newbs. I'm definitely with the likes of Bill, Mike and Maciej (and countless others) who want to share and not self-promote.

Try letting on that you consider Gin for what it rightly is - sub-standard second-hand toilet bowl cleanser. Then see how well you get along at CP.

I am happy you find Code Project more friendly than Stack Overflow.
Even here, posts are sometimes marked as 'not a question' and removed. I think this is a bad habit: the OP deserves help even if the question 'is not properly phrased'
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

To a point, but I've seen quite a few requests for help here along the lines of "can anyone tell me how to create software to [insert random aim]".
No attempt by the poster to show what (if anything) they've tried, no code snippets, just a general request that to me translates as "I'm too lazy to find out how do this for myself so can someone else do it for me?".
Those kind of posts - in my opinion - bring no value to CP and should be deleted. It's the stringent policing of posts on SO (as annoying as it can be ) that have made is so valuable as a resource.
[Edit] I just went to Q&A out of morbid curiosity and (as if by magic) this was top of the list - how to transfer live video form client machine to server so that it can be streemed online through web[^]

There are several ways to get downvotes asking in SO:
1. Start a question from something like this: "Hi guys, I am new to...", "My teacher told me...", "My friend asked me...", "I need this ASAP..." and similar irrelevant crap.
2. Ask a question without a code "Hi guys, my program crashes, what can I do?"
3. Define all your problems as "not working".
4. Post 1 MB of source code with laconic description "not working" - see also p.3
5. Ask philosophical questions like "What is faster: C or C++?", "How to learn programming?" etc.
6. Ask non-programming questions like "How to install Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer?"
Which way you prefer? Currently SO is most valuable WEB resource for solving a programming problems. But it is really unfriendly for a new users - unless you learn to ask (and probably to answer) according to their guidelines.

Alex Fr wrote: Currently SO is most valuable WEB resource for solving a programming problems On this, I'd have to disagree. Most of the time, I find that the answers to problems on SO, assume so much prior knowledge, or are so outdated as to be virtually useless. At best, an answer oftentimes represents a snapshot of the world as it was at that time.
