| Mar 15, 2014 at 19:39 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | @user3075942 You must write your personal experiences with this tool. Not only "that fits" but also why is it a good fit. As Olli already said, if you paste the question to google and copy from the first 10 results then the op could have done the same and our site becomes useless. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 10:48 | comment | added | Olli | @user3075942 I think you (and everyone else too, obviously) must add value over contents of first ten Google hits. | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 16:57 | comment | added | user | I don't think I must write instructions. | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 16:27 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod | @user3075942 No, you should write something like “Transparent images are supported. Set the option XXX in the configuration to have the ghost image stay on top when the window is focused. [etc.]” (or whatever it takes) | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 16:18 | comment | added | user | So do you think I must add the sentence "This software matches all of your requirements:" in every answer? I don't see any answer where copypasted description doesn't cover requested features. | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 15:55 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod | @user3075942 We aren't asking you to rewrite a feature list. On the contrary, we ask you to address the features mentioned in the question. Explain in what way the requirements are met — sometimes you're lucky and a bullet point in the question matches a bullet point of the feature list, but you're also supposed to explain how it works when they don't. | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 15:53 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mod | @user3075942 As I wrote in a comment on your answer: “We want answers that explain how the recommended product matches the requirements in the question. Please read our answer quality guidelines. You've posted three answers in this thread (which while allowed doesn't make much sense), but all of them solely copy the product's feature list and thus do not actually answer the question. I've deleted your answers; feel free to repost an answer that addresses the question.” | |
| Mar 5, 2014 at 15:44 | comment | added | user | So why did you delete my questions if personal experience, while appreciated, is not strictly required? And what kind of experience can be shared there at all? That question is very narrow, those tools in answers aren't bloatware and their only function is to do what asker wants. What sense would be in recreating of a screenshot and rewriting of a feature list? | |
