| Nov 2, 2012 at 14:49 | comment | added | user527 | Absolutely. However, I prefer quality. If low-quality effort is consistently displayed by a user, it will get brought out. If it's a first time user, I try to come across as helpful (and have failed more often than not) to help construct their question. | |
| Nov 2, 2012 at 14:45 | comment | added | cfi | Even though that may be true, that should not be the prevailing motivation for actions. I know caring for low-rep users must be most of the work, with apparently the least benefit. But if 50 leave, but 1 stays and contributes back that's worth the effort - and true for any kind of "build-up" work. Comparable to motivating young folks to stay with a sport club ;-) | |

| Nov 2, 2012 at 14:41 | comment | added | user527 | We, as a community, can help. I'm part of the community just as much as you are. Can't say I disagree with how you would handle it. However, sometimes, when a user gets an answer to his/her question, to SE standards or not, they got what they wanted, and have no further interest. | |
