I recently got question banned and as a result I am very careful when writing a question. Today, I was once again downvoted when asking what I felt was a solid, well written question.
As I have learned in my research trying to understand Stack Overflow's requirements, a good question has the following attributes:
- A well written title ✅
- Shows adequate research ✅
- Introduces the problem before any code ✅
- Helps others reproduce the problem ✅
- Is well written, clear and understandable ✅
- Has all the relevant tags ✅
I feel like the question I asked meets all of these criteria. Therefore, I do not understand why it was downvoted and poorly received.
This is why people are very frustrated with this in the community. We follow the guide, do hours of research, and when we reach out with a thoughtful and well written question, we still get downvoted and eventually question banned.
Is there something I am doing wrong in my question?
