What's acceptable about them is the amount of available topics they have. What I can't stand is that they make it too hard to create a new profile for the different types of forums they have such as math and workplace; therefore, you can't easily link to more websites/blogs of yours where your niche matches the forum service. I was able to overcome this problem with a Google search before but I can't do it now.
Usually, I ask questions and get the information I want on two platforms. One is Quora, the other one is Stack Exchange. Stack Exchange is a forum where people from different fields can discuss, communicate, and help each other in classified communities. Due to a large user base, there are insanely amount of information. You almost can find any info you need on the exact problem there. Besides, you can expect a quick response to your question. Personally, I think two best communities of Stack Exchange is "Stack Overflow", centering lots of web programming questions and English Language & Usage, gathering questions primarily about idioms and grammars.
In order to comment or answer anywhere we need what they call 'reputations'. I feel it subdues our freedom of speech as we can't ask important questions.
I asked a pretty straightforward question & got some responses pretty quick with guys trying to help, but then some a hole user Barmar deleted my question because they say it had already been asked & answered, but it wasn't, I read for days thru the posts they referred to & not even close to what I asked, the sad thing is once I figured out the problem with my PHP code, I realized one of the users who was in the process of helping me when barmar ended it, would have solved my issue likely in the next comment, based on my answer to the last question he asked me.
Then to make matter worse, they locked my account from asking future questions, how is this going to help young programmers?
All you power tripping a holes need to get out of mama's basement & deal with men face to face now & again to re-humanize the community & yourselves too.
Acting like an a hole online has given you a false sense of power & control ur fat asses don't really possess.
To quote iron Mike people have forgotten what it's like to be pushed in the face for acting a fool.
You will be argued with till the cows come home. There are so-called experts who dominate and babble away, with you kept at the bottom of the pile. There are plenty who come along and say."this is not the right category for your question, go somewhere else". Somewhere else will be very similar to where you are ie. Pickiness. There are also very nasty unhelpful commenters who will resist another opinion with even if you get the facts and show them. The concept is interesting but its confusing to have to open a new profile for each subject site. I have had in the past, a few worthwhile answers and points for my questions on Interpersonal Skills and Writing, but the overall experience is that you will seldom be rewarded for your efforts or create any meaningful dialogue with anyone. Also there are too many questions on Interpersonal Skills and related categories of the type " how can I avoid being jealous of my boyfriends' mother? How can I stop my boyfriend from looking at other girls? And. How can I get my girlfriend to look only at me" ie. Limited in depth.
Asked a question about xpath, which is a beginner question I guess. Immediately got multiple downvotes. Received no answers. Avoid this site, its not worth it.
They actively discriminate against people with disabilities, declaring people to be AI machines.
Moderators are abusive with their authority and there is no mechanism for recourse.
Account privileges are restricted to your "reputation points " which are controlled by the Moderator team who then restrict access to your account and put penalties on the account that can only be removed by way of doing tasks that they have turned off on your account.
They have features to resolve conflicts, but put them behind privileges measured by prestige.
Honestly it comes across as gatekeeping and abuse. This is most apparent in the Academia exchange which reflects the egoististical elitist attitude seen throughout academics.
They are so afraid of criticism that they engage in discrimination against anyone who is not considered human beings by their standards.
And then they expect that you are the problem and are dehumanized in the process.
Furthermore, they refuse to acknowledge that they are engaging in discrimination. And demand that you not point out their inappropriate behavior so that they don't have to be held accountable.
