You didn't get shouted down, Dino the melodramatic. You just didn't make a good argument. Also, I have no say in what forums stay or go or get merged. AND ALSO, it's not my fault the angry globularists can't understand simple rules.
This post here demonstrates how you simply haven't understood the problem with Q&A.
Q&A
should be the best place to have your question answered. Instead, it's the worst.
You think it's because not enough people follow the rules.
If rules don't achieve anything, there's no point having them.
The rules in Q&A are achieving nothing beyond forcing you to move 83% of threads out of the section, and of those that remain, hardly any get answers.
Many more questions are actually answered in General and Debate. People who've been here more than a couple of months know that if we want to ask a question, we go to those sections, not Q&A.
I made a very good argument, you just seem to think that the purpose of Q&A is something other than to facilitate getting people's questions answered. It's by far the worst section at achieving that goal, largely down to the stupid rules.
