| Mar 20, 2018 at 17:11 | comment | added | user14817 | Found the question with the "customer service" close reason: sports.stackexchange.com/questions/13885/… | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 17:47 | comment | added | user14817 | @dly I see your point. The reason I note this because I recall seeing a close reason for a similar question along the lines of "we are not customer support" and I saw the question from a similar perspective. | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 17:43 | comment | added | dly | The older question seeks recommendation while the newer one explicitly asks about ticket availability at the stadium. I don't agree that this question meets the requirement to be off-topic for "shopping recommendation". | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 17:37 | comment | added | user14817 | @dly just an FYI, your answer to a question further reinforces my point. Where (and how) to buy tickets appear to be off topic here, but since you provided an adequate answer, the question is being received well. | |
| Mar 5, 2018 at 14:03 | comment | added | dly | That's a difficult one and pretty much depends on each question itself. I'd always try to answer a "valid" question, if possible. However, I can understand the point in not answering too basic questions (which can as well be googled in 5 seconds). Depending on my mood and how stupid that question really is (like "why are there two goals on a football pitch") I'd just downvote or answer and downvote them. | |
| Mar 5, 2018 at 13:03 | comment | added | user14817 | @dly I feel the same way. However, I saw that answering bad questions is encouraging low quality. Would you say that is or should be the case? I don't see what's wrong with answering a "bad" question (if you have an answer for it) AND voting down on the question (if it is, in fact, that bad). | |
| Mar 5, 2018 at 11:12 | comment | added | dly | Well said. It doesn't feel right to upvote a bad question only because you answered it. And not answering a bad question is kinda bad too (if you know the answer and it's not just a LMGTFY question), only because you don't want to upvote it. | |
