He only removed a single word ("Windows program" to "program") and added 2 totally unrelated tags. It was very apparent that he was just after the rep as there was no real reason to edit anything. That's also one of the reasons why this horrible site is so broken. The entire rep system is counterproductive as it encourages ignorant people to ask badly researched questions or flood the site with awful answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132785414967539357.post-79062584945934002162014-03-29T07:44:27.216+00:002014-03-29T07:44:27.216+00:00Thanks for the excellent THEREFORE ideas +SirTapTa...Thanks for the excellent THEREFORE ideas +SirTapTap.

I ...Hi Jan, I'm a moderator on Stack Overflow. I just wanted to let you know that there's no such thing as a lifetime ban on SO. The automatic ban can be lifted if you gain enough reputation through other means. If you can't answer questions, then you can still gain reputation by asking great questions or (more slowly) by suggesting edits to other people's posts that get accepted.<br /><br />See <a href="http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/86997/1288" rel="nofollow">What can I do when getting “Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions/answers from this account”?</a> for more details on the automated answer ban. I don't know what your account name is on SO or I could take a look to see if there's anything that I could preserve to try and get you back on track.Bill the Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810099093752485841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132785414967539357.post-71032978182369337852012-05-17T01:13:49.384+01:002012-05-17T01:13:49.384+01:00SO's vetting process is a bit harsh, but overa...SO's vetting process is a bit harsh, but overall it helps keep the quality high.<br /><br />For others afraid of getting such a ban, instead of "answering" to ask for clarification, skip questions where you're unsure (or edit them, accepted edits are +2 points!). Answering only questions you know gets you +10 points per upvote. Asking good, clear, non-duplicate questions gets you points too, so there's plenty of ways to get to 50 rep before you can comment on other people's questions. <br /><br />Take it slow and try not to look like a low-quality contributor; SO has so many problems with them, certain automatic filters like this are in place.<br /><br />Alternately you can participate on one of stackexchange's other sites and get 200 rep total, which gives you 100 rep on all SE sites, so you can comment anywhere.Sir TapTaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182766092102003177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132785414967539357.post-35745462311474442742012-05-02T10:02:31.052+01:002012-05-02T10:02:31.052+01:00Harsh!
