Just a small suggestion, (if has been suggested before, forgive me I haven't read the whole thread)
When a question is posted can you not check for some basic things, such as:
- is there code present (check on the 'code' tags)
- is it a one line text
- ...
And display a message making suggestions as to how to better format his question, such as 'you haven't submitted any code, we can better help you if we see the code that is causing the error' (or something like that, I'm sure your English is better than mine)
But still allow the user to pass on without editing it (since there are valid cases where no code should be posted or ...).
That way, the people who have 'learned' to post a good question won't be bothered by it and those that haven't will (hopefully) read the messages and in time ask better questions.
No idea at if this possible, but it was the first thing that popped into my head as a possible (half) solution, after reading your post.

I agree that too many get closed needlessly.

I had uploaded the 7z file, that was the source code for my article, Onion Architecture
[^], The article is published but the source code download link is missing. Can this be checked please.
Thanks

Can you please email that file to me?

That file was a bit healthy in size. It is 16.7 MB. Would mail support such size?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have an external link?
Thanks,

No Sir. Could you suggest any link to upload the file?
|
|
|
|
|
Email should handle the 16 MB.
Thanks,

Ok Sir. I am mailing the same.
Thanks a lot for your support.

.7z extension files are not being accepted by gmail to be sent. Is there any other way I can send??
I have that file uploaded. If possible give me any external link where I could add the file.
Thanks.

A rar file or renamed .zip file? Barring that, something like dropbox?
Thanks,

It is a simple normal folder which I have compressed using 7zip. .7z extension. Please suggest something. It is not renamed just compressed.
Thanks

Can you compress it as a RAR, or ZIP, but if a ZIP rename the extension before you send it (I.E. .NOTZIP).
Do you have a dropbox account? Gmail? A blog?
Thanks,

Yes I am uploading to my Dropbox. After upload to dropbox what shall I do?
|

You should be able to share that file publically, then just email me the link to that file.
Thanks,

It seems to me strange that the same article can compete in more than one category...Why?
jQuery Based Ajax ASP.NET MVC Google Maps Web App[^]

Because the article is tagged for both C# and JavaScript. There's nothing wrong with that.

I see how an athlete can win both in 200 and 400 meter - he runs twice, but that article is one, and written once, so how it can possibly win twice?
I think tags should not decide the category, but the real category of the article - in this case Web development/ASP.NET/General...

Well, Sacha and I both won in multiple categories simultaneously. When the content applies equally to both categories, there's no reason that it shouldn't have a chance at both.

I see your point, but in that case contest category should be decided manually...The article at hand is a pure web issue. The fact that the code behind uses C# is irrelevant...(Don't take me wrong - it's a good article, but has nothing to do with C#...)

Unfortunately, the selection process is purely automatic.

A C# article on a graph control, or cryptography, or a game engine, or a million other things has nothing to do with C# per se, but if the code's in C# then it's in the C# contest.
It's been this way for over a decade.
