| Sep 23, 2009 at 13:52 | comment | added | alex | A lot of people don't give back. It's his votes, but it's also unfair. His knowledge is not only important when answering; his votes and comments can help others perfect their answer or give credibility to their solution. I really like it when a lot of people contribute to someones answer, either by editing the answer or by leaving comments. | |
| Sep 23, 2009 at 11:46 | comment | added | ChrisF | I must admit being shocked by the total lack of votes by JohnT, he's benefited from the votes of others to the extent that he's the top ranked user on SU, but he's given nothing back. I've absolutely no idea what to do about it though. | |

| Sep 23, 2009 at 10:05 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | I understand why your feeling like this, you seem like a boogy man, simply because you're the only moderator that is actively visible. I think we need some clearer guidelines on what is and what isn't appropiate on SuperUser, making it easier for other users with moderator rights to act on this. Still the best thing off course is leading by example... | |
| Sep 23, 2009 at 10:04 | comment | added | Diago | Thanks for the support guys. I will be taking a break for the next 2 weeks. Should there be anything serious that needs to be addressed I can be contacted via e-mail or twitter | |
| Sep 23, 2009 at 9:07 | comment | added | alex | @Diago You're one of the reasons the site actually still functions. I've seen you close questions almost before I've seen the title on the front page. But still, it seems to be an uphill battle. No one seems to do any research before posting a question on SU; it's like they don't even care. It's the sort of "Do my homework" questions that you see on SO. I've seen a lot of people on the first page of the Users list not having any activity in weeks. At first it seemed weird but now I'm also starting to get tired of always searching for duplicates, always answering the same questions... | |
| Sep 23, 2009 at 8:35 | comment | added | Pauk | Part of the issue on SU might be the target audience using the site. On SO and SF we're dealing with more technical / professional people so the level of Q&A is better. On SU the majority is more an unwashed masses sort of thing, so the knowledge there isn’t as good and subsequently the quality of answers is less. At least that seems to be my experience of the three sites (I asked for Flash editor suggestions and one answer was Notepad++?!). I'm all for top quality answers, it’s I think just you've got your work cut out on SU, which by the way, you're doing a great job at. | |

| Sep 23, 2009 at 7:27 | comment | added | Diago | @random Re-reading this now I am thinking I should take that out of the answer, however I can't not include myself in the blame list for this. | |
| Sep 23, 2009 at 7:25 | comment | added | random | Overzealous? Really? Haven't seen it from you. You keep a level-head on the close reasons and keeping the flames down. You're doing a great job on SU. | |
