Why is my question being deleted?


Question Posted Saturday July 15 2006, 10:33 pm

Hi, I have read all the rules about why questions are deleted and such. My question has been deleted because "It has been given the lowest rating possible by five level 1 moderators". My question was well written, short, and too the point. I asked for suggestions for a new screename. Why is this unnacceptable?

Hello there,

After reviewing your account, it is very plain to see why the questions were voted down.

You weren't asking for advice, you were asking people to create something for you. There is a difference.

Advice:

"I need help choosing between the following:

Screenname1
Screenname2
Screenname3
Screenname4
Screenname5
Screenname6

... can you help me?"

A job offer:

"I need a new screen name. It should be original."

... see the difference?

Even if people were inclined to be creative on your behalf, you didn't give them anything to go on.

Usually something like this gets quite a few answers, and most of them are like:

"How about:

SoPatheticIcantBeOriginalWithoutHelpfromStrangers"


Most of the other actual smart assed remarks people get banned for posting in a question like that are not polite, so I will only quote the one.

I hope that helps you.
