Mar 18, 2019 at 21:23 comment added James Andino It specifically uses the word "generate" and if you think about the user flow it is more likely the commenters and downvoters are the aggressors. Posters have more to lose in terms of points then the down voters and commenters. Though they may be responding to the mess if the answers are technically decent how are they getting so much agro in the first place. Of course the situation you point out is possible and to that I would ask the user "do you want to be right or useful" this is about people learning and they are not always the best.
Mar 18, 2019 at 20:50 comment added Tyberius @Arcabard Question 5 seems to be about a user who produces good content, while at the same time getting in arguments with other users and possibly violating the code of conduct. In other words, a good answerer, but a difficult person to deal with.

Mar 16, 2019 at 1:45 comment added James Andino 5 is about dealing with someone who is contributing positively dealing with negative reaction. I would start by writing a list of reasons I suspect they are experiencing this situation. My first suspicion would be that they have attracted the attention of some kind of automation whether it be bot or social. This could be wrong but I would be more interested in the downvoters then the posters initially. How are these downvoters getting to this post are these down voters down voting multiple posters? Does it make sense the down voters would naturally come across these posts along a logic trail.
Mar 15, 2019 at 13:34 comment added Benjamin W. I don't think number 5 is about bots and tools...?
Mar 14, 2019 at 23:13 comment added James Andino My thinking is that the lacks understanding part addresses people who are asking for the solution to problems and not for help with specific problems in their implementation of a solution. In general I imagine the issue is not with students seeking help but seeking shortcuts. Though I may not entirely understand what is meant by the question as I am familiarizing myself with the issue as I go.

Mar 13, 2019 at 20:02 comment added terdon Mod Could you clarify why you would use the learning materials close reason for "Question Overly Broad example lacks understanding"? How is that asking for links to external resources? Why isn't that simply "too broad"?
