While observing new questions I have found this one: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/376325/citation-with-see-or-cf. Which, as pointed out in the comments, was already asked by the same user. I have looked the profile of the OP and it seems that s/he asks this question for the third time.
Another example: How to solve "Missing delimiter (. inserted) \end{eqnarray*}"? and Miktex, tex studio, "Missing delimiter (. inserted)" the questions are the same from the same user.
Moreover, one user provides strange answers (which are sometimes not answers) with screenshots, but no code, which might be very confusing for new users:
- How can I write exponential function with base other than e?
- Problem with align command
- Why is the caption of table at the bottom of it?
The reverse engineering should be applied to the answers (produce .tex
from .pdf
).
My question may seem vague, but is anything to be done with the users who behave themselves like this?
UPDATE: One user today asked the question they asked two days ago. Latex typesetting and LaTeX file for matrix .
Seems like a typical situation I have discussed above, but this first one has got the score of -2, no answers and is on hold, while the question asked today has 4 upvotes and two answers with score +6 and +7.
There are two improvements in the second question: photo of do-it-for-me matrix is cleaner and a code was added as an MWE.
Why is this difference in up/down voting? The questions are really the same and are duplicates of each other, but have so different score.
