Why ignore beginner questions about Kali Linux?
You don't come here and have demands, you respect the way things work and try to fit in. That's how the world generally works. Else people don't like it and downvote you, prevent your content from getting popular b e.g. closing it or "shame you" by telling you what to definitely avoid doing in the future. I have no idea what you're trying to do now, but you're the one who'd I'd describe much more by "shaming" - insulting the entire community whose ways you don't try to follow and respect. That has no reasonable goal.

Why ignore beginner questions about Kali Linux?
Absolutely. You could also be a grandma not knowing what computers are and be trying to ask about Kali Linux, but that doesn't mean your question will be a good fit here. It also doesn't mean people here will hold your hand and explain to you how everything works from A to Z. You somehow fail to understand how this website works - perhaps because you still haven't read the rules and guides. It might be the time to do so instead of contuing to waste time on nothing: superuser.com/help Help is offered, but making it as easy as possible to help you is expected first.

Should the [ps1] tag be used, and if not, should it be removed?
I'd say the PowerShell usage is pretty much useless - the extension doesn't tell anything extra about the question 99.99% of the time,
powershell
tag is enough, PS1
variable is much more specific and better fit - but don't think bash-ps1
is accurate as it applies to lots of shells.

Why ignore beginner questions about Kali Linux?
Hello. 1. This is not a Linux community. 2. You shouldn't duplicate closed questions as you will get question blocked. Also, generally you should read rules of communities you are new at. 3. This website is for answering specific and interesting questions, not "How to log in into Kali Linux?" type of ones. You provided close to 0 details on that one and people found it not good enough for the site - edit it and include info about what exactly you used and how, step by step.

Why was this non-opinion question closed as opinion-based?
I'm also not too sure how this is ever opinion-based. It can yield opinion-like answers, but also answers that aren't opinions and talk about various factors that influence the numbers. I guess "smooth" may be a bit to subjective and changed to something else like "without lag spikes" or something.

Proposed resolution : Quoting cannot be called plagiarism
Obviously this is not plagiarism. It's something more like "low quality" in terms of terms used here and definitely shouldn't be encouraged too much, as such answers tend to be underanalyzed and often also inaccurate. If it was up to me, I'd require at least 2-3 original sentences per answer. But you are 100% correct this needs to be in rules, written quite clearly.

Edit that updates obsolete command-line parameters gets rejected?
That's a nonsense approach IMO. Old obsolete answers can still be good for historical reasons or for older versions of software that a bunch of people could be using. If an answer had not many upvotes, it could lead to people thinking it's wrong, but obsolete =/= wrong. If it has a lot of upvotes then downvoting is useless as the author could be inactive/busy and the author won't be encouraged to take it down anytime soon due to 5:1 ratio either.

There's 0 reason to downvote something obsolete, downvoting this for such suggestion. Not the fault of answering person that it's not up-to-date anymore. Posting own answer and referring to it e.g. through a comment should be enough.

How do we improve those banners you see when a question is closed?
I'm semi-active on both and I have no idea why people claim that some quality standards wouldn't be met on softwarerecs. Lots of questions that were closed here end up with exactly the same content on there, often with upvotes too. The mods are even a bit too lenient there sometimes I'd say, leaving some horrible quality 0 effort questions open, 100x worse than the example above. And the 5 entries limitation is so badly designed, honestly. Leaving questions here only encourages further similar questions as they appear in Google often with much higher frequency than on softwarerecs.

What did I do wrong in my question about Windows Update?
I don't think there's any point asking about this as if the downvoters stayed anonymous before they clicked the button, they won't explain their choice at any point most of the time. On a lot of sites of this network you'll find a bunch of people with like 1:5-15 like/dislike ratios, some of which will read one sentence from your question or the title of it and instadownvote because they've seen similar one 50 times and think it's the same issue or something not worthy enough to be asked.

What should I do with a duplicate for which the flag aged away? Should the other question then become the duplicate?
Aging away means that not enough people were able to check your flag fast enough, most of the time. Or, more rarely, that there was indecision, which I don't think is the case here. Trying the same action e.g. a month later could work.

Why do people attempt to discourage long well-written answers by instant AI accusations?
As for getting frustrated with AI - that's understandable. One of many many reasons you could get frustated with on this network. I'm not too sure if spamming/overusing "Is this ChatGPT?" or analogically "Is this answer wrong?", "Is this question bad?", etc. helps in any shape or form, though. I fully agree that reporting should be the preferred way to go if you're not 100% sure about something, so marking this as an answer for now, I don't know how much it's official SE stance on this matter or just personal opinion of a specific mod, though.
