It's not the 'last'the last question' -– 6 of 10 of your questions were deleted. Sometimes we notice and manually send a message, there'sthere are question ban warnings, and one rarely gets suddenly banned from asking questions.

If we must, let's look at why you got question banned -– not only are 6 questions deleted, some are self deleted, and this sort of thing is what leads to question bans. Furthermore -– in some cases, someone asked for further information, which you could have edited in instead of deleting.

I'd also add that these bans are automatic -– there is nothing a mod can do.

By making users post answers and try to do quality edits, we try to help them better understand how questions should be. It's not stupid, itsstupid; it’s a reasonable compromise.

On the poster's request, here's a list of his deleted questions, and the reasons for itthem. I'm not going to be explaining the specifics of what the roomba is, since the automatic deletion system is well documented.

Let me grab a really short real world-world question to demonstrate.

I'm using gntp-send to send messages to a growl for windows instance. It hasn't been maintained a while so there dosen'tdoesn't seem to be support for windows 10 style notifications. How would I get growl to work with the new style notifications?

Second part describes my problem -– I want GFW to give windowsWindows 10 style notifications.
