Right on. Especially nailed stack overflow. That platform is seriously messed up and needs a serious redesign of their voting system. It's as hostile as a war zone. I hate the users and the platform with all my heart.
I remember creating an account to post a question, then when someone answered me, I could not upvote it nor accept it because I had no fame/reputation or whatever the name of their system is. I mean, I guess this avoids people creating dummy accounts to mess the votes, but I was very shocked that someone took their time to explain things to me and I couldn't do anything other than comment "thank you".
That's weird. Even unregistered accounts can accept (i.e. give the green tick) to an answer. There is a time limit of 15 minutes, but after that you can accept another user's answer.
Well, I remember getting answered pretty damn fast, and quickly went to my question to see the answer. Maybe I was stuck on that timebox! You mean that we have to wait 15 minutes after the person posted the answer?
Yes, that is definitely a fair reason. I just didn't know what was happening (probably didn't read something that I should have 😅). I just managed to log in again on my Stack Overflow account (took longer that I expected 😅) and successfully marked that as the solution! Thanks! 😁

It should be the norm, to require at least some investigation before being able to post a question because tones of people ask silly things that are well defined already in the docs just for being lazy.
Even that it's true that sometimes mods mark questions as "possible duplicate" without taking the context into account which you need then to explain why it is not a duplicate.
This plus the decadence of SO itself in favour of other platforms like this one lead to a great amount of unanswered questions when they are somehow "advanced level".

Yeah, I remember when I was younger I'd absolutely get pelted for being dogshit at code.
Admittedly some of my questions were actually poor quality, but because of ðat, now I'm at risk of not being able to post again because I got too many "downvotes".
Worse part is ðat it only takes like -7 downvotes to put you at risk, apparently.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

The inability to upvote was kinda sad, though.
It's 15 minutes after you ask. There is a big problem with voting "fraud", so making voting a privilege is part of slowing that down.
