Question by getyour411 · Feb 22, 2014 at 02:22 AM · metaanswers

[Meta] What is unimechanic?

This identity is posting to many threads. If this is a real Unity identity (as per the two diamonds), the copy/paste sentences should be reviewed some grammar errors in them make it seem hack-ish.

"please respond it with the solution,.."

"...Unity Forums is a great place post and review code..."

"... Thanks for your comprehension, ..."

It would be handy if there was a way to Report this user, since hes flooding the top of the List with useless posts.

Its detracting from the actual purpose of UA.

$$anonymous$$aybe he/she's not getting enough attention at home.

No... Unless he's hacked the system; it doesn't allow you to just copy-paste the diamonds. It turns the name-box red and says "numbers, letters and underscores only".

Not the best first-impression he could make...

If he's lucky he's not bonused on his ability to support the community measured by the $$anonymous$$arma he's earned.

I wonder if @GrahamDunnet would comment on this. There's a Unity person that has made a valuable contribution to this community. Perhaps he would explain what the change of policy has been.

I apologize for the problems caused by "bumping" answers, but clarifying the best places to find answers and discuss ideas is important. Taking several unanswered questions to their conclusion, with a first answer, will clear the path to focus on questions that require further research. The final goal is to resolve every relevant request, and make the solutions clear for everyone that need them promptly. You can look for my profile in Unity Forums as well, I have "spammed" the forums with solutions for very old topics without answers. I do that every time I find a question related to another case, mostly Premium Support tickets.

I'm a $$anonymous$$issouri guy, from the Show $$anonymous$$e State. Force close this thread and I'll buy it, otherwise hoax+1

As @jamora has already mentioned - fixing the system so it doesn't display closed questions would help because a lot of people have that level of moderation. Personally I comment and delete questions that are meaningless - but the great thing about UA is that those unanswered things just drift away and are replaced by the ones which are being actively worked on. Bringing them to the top of the list seems to serve no benefit to questioner, or UA active participant.

I am glad of more official Unity presence in this community, there are often questions that would really benefit from an official line.

The last thing we should do is have a bunch of non-answers, for which we typically downvote, that could be interpreted as bureaucratic officialdom and sets a bad example to users of how they should answer questions.

This isnt ment to be a definitive archive, letting older questions float away keeps the top of the list fresh for new users to post their questions and allows those who are actively participating in answering those questions provide a quick and timely response that can bring about the solution to that persons problem either through a direct correct response or enlightening that person through discussion on the topic at hand.

I'm not the right person to decide on these matters, but I will encourage you to continue providing your valuable opinions to this discussion. I have stopped "bumping" Unity Answer since I respect your inconformity with the method I used to conclude unsolved requests. Now I have enough Unanswered tickets that require investigation, and I'll commit to the task of solving them, that will return the peace to this platform. Thanks for your understanding.

I personally don't $$anonymous$$d you helping us keep UA clean. It's just that there are certain unspoken rules which you broke - causing the backlash against you.

This is not the forums. If there is an answer in the comments, it should be converted into an answer and accepted. Albeit there has been some discussion about accepting answers on behalf of the asker as well (see this question for example).

If there is no clear comment-answer, then ins$$anonymous$$d of a non-answer (saying this question has been answered in the comments) the question itself should be edited such that it indicates the answer is spread among multiple comments. That question should then be closed.
