As someone who is currently banned from reviewing because of this exact issue I thought I would give my reasoning and thoughts on a solution.
My Experience as a Reviewer Who Got Banned
Triage question It has since been removed, but I will post it anyway as moderators can still view it.
A user posted the following question, which for obvious reasons required triage.
I am a beginner in python and I really wanted to make a auto clicker bot, my code is correct but It does not work, I already installed pynput using pycharm. Are there any other solutions?
The comments on this post from the included the usual.
Welcome to stackoverflow. Honestly, you will probably not get many answers if you do not show the relevant parts of your code. No one will know what to do with "my code is correct but it does not work." You'll get much more help if you edit and show the code
Please post your code (simplified to the smallest form that demonstrates your problem, and what results you are seeing when you run it.
If you posted at least the error message in your question, we might be able to determine if it's because you don't have pynput installed
As a new reviewer, I was presented this question and marked it as Requires Editing
, which after reading this meta discussion I now know was wrong. However, let me give you my reasoning at the time.
The tooltip you get for Requires Editing
has the following text.
Requires Editing for questions that you can make clear and answerable by editing.
I believed the YOU in this case referred to the original poster of the question, as I thought that should the question be marked as Requires Editing
they would see the same tooltip I had.
I marked the question as Requires Editing
because the question context was appropriate for the community it was posted to, and if the original poster edited the question in response to the comments already existing on their question, they would have an acceptable question.
Takeaway
Root Cause: As the reviewer, I believed Requires Editing
meant that the original poster should edit the question to make it acceptable.
So what would have helped me in this case to mark the question correctly? I think the following tooltip would have.
Requires Editing for questions that can be answered as-is, but require editing to make it easier to find and understand.
This definition makes it clear that Requires Editing
should be selected if there is enough information already present to work towords a solution, but the question requires editing to make it presentable and more understandable. This definition also follows the same format as the existing Looks OK
option.
Looks OK for questions that can be found, understood and answered as-is
