With my rep, I definitely felt embarrassed I used to think that was acceptable, but I would agree that we need to post better answers all the time. As for not being on the Low Quality review page... Is it possible to learn what the checker uses so we can make sure we don't land on there BEFORE the answer gets posted? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 3:15 | comment | added | slhck | Yeah, got you there — like I said, if there are "repeated offenders", then that's something different. I guess your question was more about the occasional low quality posts that tend to show up once in a while. | |

I would never do that publicly here on Meta, but rather in a more private setting (chat, or email if possible and after consulting a moderator). This was mainly to A. bring awareness to those high rep users that may do this, and B. determine a plan of action that I can reference in case there is any blow back due to my actions. | |
