Post Rejection!

[Former Member]

Dear Moderators,

I really would like to highlight this matter and want it to be considered in a good faith. Today i've posted in this particular thread against which my submission has been rejected. The reason behind the rejection was for not providing context against the link provided. I assume that if the link is self-explanatory then whats the point of writing context that why it's useful because OP is mature enough to understand the guidance he/she has been provided with. SCN is all about helping each other, we are here to share and learn using give and take policy in a positive way then why such act has been taken place. Also, i can share alot of examples in which OP has been guided with a single thread then why my this submission has been rejected. It's really disappointing for me to see this again and again. Sharing sample snapshots for the same and this time i need a satisfactory answer from the respectable senior Members and Mentors. Thanks.

I could be wrong but the text in your posting that was rejected reads to me as if you are referring to another person's reply in the same thread.

You said: "Please refer to the reply of Aeda N in this thread"

I can interpret that in two ways.  The first is that Aeda N's reply is in the same thread I am commenting on.  In which case why would you even post that.  But reading it quickly, (as mods have many threads to read through), I might think you are posting to game the system.

But it can be also interpreted as a reply in a totally different thread. 

That's why you need to put something extra in the reply. 

I have referenced other threads and replies as you did. But usually I'll either explain what they can expect in the thread and/or admonish the OP for not searching.  I'll say something like "this is a common question, did you even try to google it?  I did and found the following relevant threads. Please read through these and come back if you have any questions that can't be answered from these."

It might alienate some folks and they might get ticked off, but if you're not here for the points/gameification, you shouldn't be concerned.
