| Nov 16, 2014 at 22:47 | comment | added | Sveinung | I absolutely agree. And I will add: It near arrogance to complain that a new user does not shows any effort when the closers obviously not bothered to search if the question was a duplicate. | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 2:59 | comment | added | cfr | Yes. Well, it still annoys me. Though I thought the closing of that question on spurious grounds was in some ways one of the less hostile aspects of the community's response ;(. | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | percusse | @cfr I think I've also voted for the duplicate. So yes duplicate is/was the way to go in the first place. I know about the close vote averaging which marks the most voted reason and removing the rest. As long as the decision is thoughtful I agree whatever the community decides but that community concept is rapidly disappearing in my ignorant and biased opinion. | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 1:02 | comment | added | cfr | Do you not think it was a duplicate? I would still like to know what I ought to have done since I did not think it was off-topic and did not vote to close for that reason. Nonetheless, I was recorded as voting to close the question as off-topic. I find this pretty annoying. Especially since I did take the trouble to find what seemed to me to be a good candidate re. duplication. (I might be wrong that this particular question was a good choice but that is not the same as saying the question was off-topic.) | |

People are starting to get too good with TeX here [...] - Nah, I'm still stupid with TeX affairs. ♥ :)

| Nov 12, 2014 at 9:56 | comment | added | yo' | @Werner And that's fine with me. I did not, because I think it's enough if one person uses that button ;) | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 5:32 | comment | added | Werner Mod | Great answer! I downvoted the question because after reading it I looked at the voting buttons and the downvote button explicitly states "This question does not show any research effort...", which I found true regardless of whether barbara mentioned there are many examples on our site. | |
