Imagine this...

Sitting in your home, in front of your desk, doing your math homework from school, college, or just for fun, and stuck in a certain exercise.

You come across this great website, and ask a question.

What happens next?

Unfortunately, in most of the cases today, you get criticized on the way you asked the question, some even insult you, some explain kindly about the website, but eventually the answer is not reached and your question is ignored.

As far as I know, as one who used this site a lot, believe that we should treat new arrivals better. We need to first answer the question, and THEN explain how the website works and all. Furthermore, I suggest that when someone signs up to the site will get an automated email from moderator with basic rules, so those will be better accessible for the new asker.

When someone gets treated nicely as an asker, he will eventually become a helper and will contribute back to the site, like I'm trying to do everyday since finishing my B.A.

Great surfing and learning to us all!
