| Mar 7, 2014 at 6:20 | comment | added | ff524 | @penelope on the two questions referenced, the posts that really did not address the question at all were (appropriately) flagged as "not an answer" and deleted. The other "bad" answers in those examples at least address some part of the question. | |
| Mar 6, 2014 at 13:51 | comment | added | penelope | I guess you meant "displeasure with such an answer". I know about the flagging "rule", but these cases seem borderline, why I asked on meta. An exaggerated example would be a question "As a PhD student, I'm facing such and such problem", somebody answered "I don't believe you're a PhD so I'm gonna answer as if you were a permanent" which is clearly not an answer. If somebody says "it was clearly offensive" and somebody answers with "I think it was only offensive to you, and in such case you should...", it is not so clear. I could probably find more such question-answer examples than two above. | |
