Closure of question and rude approach

My question here has been closed. Rename files 000…001…002… to 001…002…003 as too broad. It is extremely clear what I am asking. I'm asking of a simple way for these files to be renamed, using anything in Windows or Linux.

Also I have been told that SuperUser

is not a free script/code writing service

I am not asking for a script, I have spent countless hours on this site helping others with their issues. I am fully aware that this isn't a script writing service.

Quite frankly I am sick and tired of the moderators and other users with their attitude. I was quite happy when the new rules and guidelines came in, but now I see there is no change.

The constant "This is off topic" is sickening, we are here to help people at the end of a day, and a simple comment is sometimes enough to point someone in the right direction, not just "this is off topic, go away"

The first question I asked, I was told that asking for software recommendations were off topic. Then thankfully another mod came through to explain how I just asked it in the wrong way. I was pretty unhappy with the site, but I forced myself to come back. I am on the verge of leaving again.

I understand the off topic rules are in place for a reason, but I feel it very rude just to tell me that it's off topic, and close it or as a new user to be told, "Welcome to superuser.com! Your question has now been closed". We should be helping people to understand, not closing questions and telling people "You’re wrong, go away"

Maybe I'm just oversensitive but it almost makes me ashamed to call myself a member.

Please take this post seriously, I'd like to be clear and state that I'm not just angry about the question being removed, but more with the attitude of the site. This applies to all users that have been here for a while.
