| Jan 23, 2022 at 22:04 | comment | added | Nij | No, I was referring generally to brand-new users who make the same suggestions that were thoroughly analysed last decade and found to be unviable. Apologies if it felt personal. There are many users who certainly should know better, though, so I advise taking care of whose advice you follow. Including my own, to the extent it doesn't fit with the overwhelming consensus. | |

The casual visitor doesn't have to think about anything more difficult than: sign in, post Q&A, flag stuff, done. If someone wants to do more than that, they're not a casual visitor any more, and they should take responsibility for learning how the system works, not been arrogant enough to claim the system isn't logical when they've only been on one or two sites, for a few months. | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 13:42 | comment | added | Ng Ph | @Nij, You are another member of the community believing that we can ignore the casual visitors. I am of the opinion that when we have defined the audience, every actions and postings we do should look logical to that audience (everybody in the audience). | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 4:05 | comment | added | Nij | A casual visitor doesn't need to understand how moderation works, beyond the basics of "write question good, vote up useful, accept most useful" since they are only here to browse. | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 4:04 | comment | added | Nij | You can't close an answer at all, so it makes no sense to criticize on that basis. If the answers do what they're supposed to do, there's nothing to flag for. If the question is of inadequate quality, it doesn't matter how good or bad the answers are, it should be closed, and flagging answers achieves nothing more useful than flagging the question alone. | |
