Why do I make such a statement?

Because questions, where people say they have a problem with their computer, nowadays become audit tests: https://superuser.com/review/first-questions/1255359

I just realise something: the person, asking that question, has a reputation equal to one.

I would hereby launch the request never to turn a question of a new user into an audit test!

I recently reviewed this question: https://superuser.com/review/first-questions/1255359, and my thought process was:

This question needs some more information. I'll say that it's ok and later on I'll add a comment explaining which more information is needed.

The problem is, the question was an audit test, so I'm dealing with an audit failure :-(. It was then when I realised something: the person asking that question has a reputation score equal to one.

I have the firm impression that the last years, StackExchange forums have become very harsh against new people: regularly I see new people being harassed for asking a simple question, as if StackExchange fora are just meant for the high-rep longterm users.

The simple fact that a question like "I have a problem. Please help!" becomes an audit test is just a simple example of this harsh mentality. Therefore I'd like to ask a bit more friendliness for (mostly new) people.

I would hereby launch the request never to turn a question of a new user into an audit test!
