A post in which I try to rubber-duck a CoreWCF issue I've been having, because stackoverflow no longer seems suitable for asking questions about programming issues.

Screaming into the void of the blogosphere is catharsis for getting my SO question closed.

And because I know you're all nosy, the SO question is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79605462/high-cpu-usage-... . Please feel free to point out more ways in which I screwed up asking my SO question.

The same has happened on reddit a long time ago. Most users give up early because they get their forst posts (on any community) removed many times before they can manage (if they do manage) to post it. If the feedback loop was faster (you instantly get feedback on why the post doesn't go through) it would be better although you would already lose some users. The situation is so bad that I predict reddit is slowly dying already

As a general rule, I'm not going to take the time to donate free content to a site where moderators just delete it. This goes for S.O., Wikipedia, Reddit, Social Media, OSM, even HN. If my posts ever start getting flag-killed here, I'm not going to complain--I'm just going to leave, assuming the feelings are mutual. I used to habitually post to Fark.com, and when their moderators started going out of control and deleting my (and others') posts, I just canceled my subscription and went away. Who needs that grief?

If S.O. believes that deleting everything users post there is somehow improving their site and going to make it relevant again, more power to them. It's their site. Let's see how that goes for them.
