This is so wrong :/ I have a page-long question that i think contains everything it needs, nothing simmilar exists anywhere on the internet, and now you are telling me in the most generic way that "something" is wrong with it and that i should figure it out myself. Tell me where exactly is the problem ffs, i'm at work, i can't spend a day experimenting and trying to reverse-engineer your algorithm to find out which particular formulation you did not like.

"All new questions are subjected to a "minimum quality" filter that checks for characteristics of extremely poor questions. Your question has been caught by the filter." If you don't want to answer the question because you don't want people to game the system, then just say so, This response insults the reader's intelligence.

Eric Raymond's How To Ask Questions The Smart Way is very obsolete and contains a lot of confusing information which is clearly wrong for the Stack Exchange of today. It should not be linked - or even mentioned - in this Community Wiki answer.

Why should it be in correct English?? it does not sound nice, when communities from all over the world are participating the knowledge why it is for English speaking only?? I have see this many time that people with poor English ask the question and they get down vote, this not a place to correct and beautiful language you have to define your primary goal, question is important upper and lower case are not that important, for sure its good to write in a correct manner, positive way could be to correct if you see any mistake, we can't identify the cause of poor wr we should not make it a base.
