What to do with stupid answers on Toaster?

Question

Toaster

In the list of complaints, the item "The answer is stupid, the author is absolutely not in the subject" is missing.
you have to choose between "This is not an answer, but a replica" and "Other".
I really want at least one Q&A site on the Internet, when moderating, to pay attention not only to formal criteria, such as politeness and legality, but also to the correctness of the answers. What is the point in another site, if unwashed monkeys mold the same heresy on it as everywhere else?
How to generally improve the quality of the contingent on the Toaster? If it’s almost impossible to get to Habr, then on the Toaster the situation is exactly the opposite, everyone climbs to answer and is not too lazy: schoolchildren, loafers, just city madmen. Dear administration! To publish an article on Habré, you have to go through the humiliating procedure of poking your nose into the generally accepted rules of writing. Is it possible to do the same for the Toaster? With recommendations like "Don't answer a question if you've never encountered a problem personally, but only heard about it out of the corner of your ear", "Before you post the code, you must first write and debug it locally", "Answer only if you are absolutely sure about answer"?

Answer 2

It seems to me that for the problem you have stated, the complaint point “This is some kind of replica, not an answer” is just right. And we should not look for another wording, we must not produce too many of them, otherwise it will be impossible to use complaints.
How can the quality of responses be improved? That's what we as developers have in mind in this regard.
I must say right away that I do not really believe in recommendations and all kinds of theoretical courses that teach the quality of texts. Rather, it is necessary to show how to write well, and how bad, immediately in practice. Also, I don't really believe in a highly closed system. Everyone should be allowed in, but group control tools should also be improved.
1. The simplest thing you can do is to involve more participants in the existing complaints system. To do this, you can send notifications to everyone who complained that the answer was deleted. Plus give out awards to those whose complaints are most often satisfied. We have a reward system on the way, by the way.
2. Instead of deleting, you can hide it inappropriate so that the author of the answer and everyone around can see that the answer was downvoted by the community for certain reasons. And let the author himself delete his answer if he does not want to look unsightly. And at the same time once again learn how to write in the community is not accepted.
3. One of these days we will roll out the possibility of collective editing of questions. When we run this functionality and see that it works, that the community can moderate itself, we will immediately transfer the same principle of collective editing to answers. Active and responsible participants will be able to show the less enthusiastic how to format their texts and thoughts. In theory, this should greatly improve the quality of the answers.

Answer 3

"Before posting the code, it must first be written and debugged locally." It seems to me that you have already bent a little. After all, writing code and testing it locally is already work.

Answer 4

Don't ask questions that can only get a dumb answer.

Answer 5

There is also such a moment - the author's question tells about some kind of terribly crooked and non-optimal, irrational, terrible, and so on, the author's implementation of something. And the author asks for advice from the series "How can I deal with this?".
On the one hand, you can immediately answer - everything is bad with you, the whole architecture needs to be broken, the authors should be deprived of sweets.
You can answer in detail - you feel bad here, here, but this place, so I’ll generally repost it on govnokod now. You need to read tutorials:
And you can offer no less crooked and ugly crutch that will solve the problem of the questioner.
Now the question is - what will be more useful for the questioner - to screw in a crutch, or to go to study and redo everything?

Answer 6

Unfortunately, the problem of the toaster is not in stupid answers, but in stupid questions, usually stupid answers are found in them.
people don't know how to use google

Answer 7

You can make a division on the questions "Stupid questions", "Not a stupid question."

Answer 8

You created a good topic about stupid answers, it reminds you very much)

Answer 9

I agree, they also answered me not on the case somehow.
PS: the option with hiding answers is the most suitable.

Answer 10

According to Wu-Wei principle, stupid answers are just as good as non-stupid ones.
