Question: Tried to solve a problem I had with my Ubuntu based OS and Wine, but Mitch pretending is some sort of god decided to put it on hold and close it after I hurt his feelings, maybe.

This problem is even more Ubuntu related because it's targeting the Ubuntu forum. Mitch is the only moderator over here? Or I could have the chance to ask my questions when he goes to bathroom and someone else to see it without closing it?

Hope to get a response from the community. Assuming that Mitch doesn't see it first, to close it.

Answer: 
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

I think it needs highlighting that we aren't every other Linux support site and we aren't just another Stack Exchange site. We have a [specific focus](https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic) and have particular ways of doing stuff, processes that have been refined over many years **to benefit our *entire* community**.

It would be absurd to expect every newcomer to understand our expectations, but we do everything we can to document both the rules and our actions when we uphold those rules. Indeed the close message you received was littered with suggestions for what to do next and another user explained exactly why it was being closed.

I sympathise that this might feel frustrating, but again, we aren't here to service you, we're trying to do the best job for the entire Ubuntu community and through that aim, we have found the need to limit our [scope](http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/scope).

I hope you can attain some solace through understanding *what* we are.  

We'll be ready and waiting for you when you decide to switch to Ubuntu ;)

Do you think treating people like you just did is beneficial to solving your problems? Do you think you have a right to insult everyone and leave when you think *you* are done? Do you think you will meet an entirely new set of people for a different problem tomorrow? At some point you will realize that there are limits (not enough volunteers in this world, not enough operating systems, not enough Q&A sites).

This whole thing could have worked out way better if you asked nicely: *"Where should I post my question, if not here?"* One of our moderators could have migrated your question to the sister site <https://unix.stackexchange.com/> where it could have been answered. Guess who is around there? Almost everyone of us and a lot more people of this network which you confuse with a forum only for Ubuntu, though the concept of different sites on this network is already familiar to you[?]. Everyone gets points and is happy.

Is being nice that hard?
