Title: I just saw this interesting discussion on Reddit and thought to open it here aswell.<p>&gt;After being a contributing member, answering and getting a lot of reputation and upvotes, and after posting 6 (good) questions in stackoverflow, which were barely seen and mostly not answered, I got a question ban:<p>&gt;&quot;Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. See the Help Center to learn more.&quot;<p>&gt;My questions were very technical and did not attract much attention. They were not downvoted though. I am an active software developer, and I only ask questions when I read the whole documentation and search for answers for at least a day. I only ask questions when I am unable to do my job at my firm because something is really off about a software dependency we are using.<p>&gt;I use to get good answers when opening issues at the software project in github.<p>&gt;But, of course, github is not for asking for user help. So, it&#x27;s interesting that I get better answers at github than at a Q&#x2F;A site like stackoverflow.<p>&gt;I didn&#x27;t know about the existence of a question ban at stackoverflow. Knowing about it leaves me worried about the state of software development in general. It&#x27;s not much better than Facebook or the Chinese Government digital crap for that sake.<p>Original post:
