It was just a guess (as you mentioned we are all guessing )
Maybe Chris has tightened the criteria in the wrong direction (two actual MVP's can't vote and Bill was one last year).

Not quite sure what happened there...but I'll add a request that it not be closed to hopefully preserve any info for you.

I also doubt the same after seeing 'What i have tried' section there.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

And somebody has deleted it...

Looks like OP himself removed it. I advised him to post it in QA.

Unfortunately I can't really tell what happened there.

That's why I tried to get the evidence preserved...
Oh well, maybe next time

Can we dump it please.
Too few of the posters use it the way it's intended, example: Error in my stored procedure[^]
Just two code dumps. This is getting extra irritating in those few cases where the codedumps actually differ, I have to read through both just in case.
Could we instead have a "popup" when they press the "post" button, with a couple of checkboxes asking:
- Have you described under what circumstances the problem occurs?
- If there was an error message, have you included it?
- Have you included the affected code
- Have you stated what you tried?
This won't make any difference for the cases where the user is simply to stupid, but when they just didn't think all the way it might.

The question isn't a question. It's a code dump and it should be closed as "Not a question".
If you can think of a general case where asking someone to describe what they have tried will actually be detrimental I'm happy to listen. For now please consider the case where someone doesn't wish to spend a few very short moments writing an answerable question as a sign that the question should be removed.
I'm not after a perfect question, perfect grammar, perfect anything. I'm asking for some basic effort in asking a question.
cheers

I agree.
But there are actually many questions where code is posted in the "What have you tried" section or even both sections. It seems that many users don't realise the intention of this section and think it to be something like "I have tried to solve this programming problem by writing this piece of code".
How about a hint that code has to be placed in the "Describe the problem" section?
Like:
Describe the problem (add code here if necessary), or
Describe the problem (show related code here), or
Describe the problem and show related code
What have you tried (no code please), or
What have you tried to solve your problem, or
hope that the description of the first section indicates that no code should be posted here.

What JA & JA both mean, essentially, is that there are illiterates trying to answer illiterates questions ...
If the illiterates would ignore this waste of time to begin with they'd actually improve the answerability of going to QA legitimately recognizing a post and poster who's NOT wasting anybody's time but just needs a quick answer.
So stop short of removing QA in it's entirety and just get rid of the new partition text making a full reversion to the previous state.
This is a tell. Not a rant.

Maybe consider having that popup which Jörgen suggested additionally?

That's then managing for the worst case, instead of making it easier for those who know what they are doing.
The goal here isn't to make it so hard that only those really, really desperate will post. The goal is to provide simple tools to help someone ask the question correctly, while also allowing moderators to quickly identify and remove questions that have had zero effort put in.

Who could disagree with such reasonable, laudable, goals ?
The real question here seems, to me, to be about (what in Buddhist philosophy is called) the "rightful means" to achieve these goals.
My humble opinion (to repeat an opinion I have expressed here several times over the last years) is that it is reasonable to require the poster to take some minimum actions before they enjoy the privilege of posting:
a. to click one of a few checkboxes, or select from a dropdown, to indicate WinForms, Php, WPF, ASP.NET, Web Forms, etc.
b. to fill in the "what have you tried field" ... as it is now
I would go even further, I would require the poster to have searched CodeProject for articles/tip-tricks, etc. first. Hopefully, presenting to the poster, for their selection the types of links that appear now to the right of the question after it is posted. But, I realize that's probably not acceptable, based on my evaluation of CP's "gestalt."
But, perhaps my sense that the poster who has not visited those highly relevant links shown after the question is posted is either lazy, or a fool, or just not paying attention ... is extreme. Come to think of it, I'd make the would-be poster visit every one of those links before posting ... hey, "sic semper tyrannis"
However, I also recognize that if there is some tangible (business) benefit to CP to having some sheer "volume" of questions posted ... which I consider possible but, have no way to evaluate ... then, fine, leave it like it is. Or, even, disable moderation entirely.
In my mind, there are more important issues involving the quality of CP QA that need to be addressed, involving responder behavior, and rep-bloating. But, I am tired of talking about them.
Anyhow, I think the "what have you tried" field is a good idea ! But, I consider the passing fantasy I had that my jeremiads here had something to do with its appearance ... well, that must be just another wart of narcissism on my psyche's carapace of grandiosity.
