Bad experience posting Basic4Android questions on stackoverflow

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

Please can you check if this is happening to other Basic4Android developers who ask Basic4Android questions on stackoverflow.

I currently lost over 10 reputation points most of the time when I ask Basic4Android questions on stackoverflow. I had to delete most of my Basic4Android posts to stop the down voting but I left one up so you can see what someone has been doing to my reputation points.

Looking for layout xml files for the project - Stack Overflow

It seems someone is feeling threatened maybe by the best software out there (Basic4Android) is going to take their Java job away from them.

I will ask one more Basic4Android question on stackoverflow. If they down vote me, I will just play it safe and stick to this forum where it's save and I'm surrounded by great support.

Truly,
Emad

+1 on stackoverflow receiving the suckage award.

The difference is the awards in here are for actually being of use to the community - most of the SO ones are just for "jumping through hoops" set by the site.

If I had my way agraham (and klaus) would be awarded "Superhero" status on here as they make so much difference to the forum.

It does seem that SO have tried to create a system, where more reliable people's answers weigh more. Unfortunately that does not hold true in the real world, because anyone could come up with the best answer. The moderators there indeed are quite snobbish.

I dont think we need SO, when we have Erel, agraham, klaus, kickaha, XverhelstX, warwound and so many more active contributors who are endless oceans of knowledge.

Arrg,

Just asked a question on overflow and kept getting answers pointing to Java code.

I am glad to here that we can stay and post questions in this forum.
I am used to the phpBB forums (or similar) and found the other form
very strange ... and a nother password to remember ;-)

Erel knows, from past private correspondence, that I don't like medals either but apparently others value them whereas I do not.

I hear you, I was joking by the way...

What's so great about this forum here, are the many helpfull hands WITH very often a small demo-project. Wouldn't like missing this. Extremely useful for learning.

By the way, I found B4A by accident because of a reference to it on stackoverflow because I used it when I was in the trap of using Java and Eclipse. It's a good thing I'm quitting those after 2 months of trying to learn them.

I love how eclipse's crappiness is an advertising for B4A.

You know B4A's devs did a good job when...
