Oct 25, 2013 at 16:45 comment added user9 I would also say that I do not have a problem with having a higher bar for experienced users. The last thing we want is to discourage new users by telling them they did not ask it right enough. On the other hand You are I are not likely to be dissuaded from posting or fixing a post.
Oct 25, 2013 at 16:41 comment added user9 @JoshDM - I do not disagree that it is better if the information is included. I am just saying that we should not bar entry to those people who do not "know" enough.
Oct 25, 2013 at 16:38 comment added JoshDM Having them explain what they "know" already is productive because (1) it adds to the bulk of the question, (2) it prevents repetition from the answerers, (3) it lets the answerers consider providing alternative solutions rather than the one the questioner has already attempted or has disregarded, (4) it lets an answerer post a solution that might resolve a wrong-headed notion posed by the asker.
