For me an answer is related to a question.
An answer about formatting and naming the vars correct is also a very common answer.
Do we have to redirect them to other answer of other question for that?
That said, I'm even more to close the second one as duplicate or broken code if the first answer has already the duplictated answer before posting second question.
Why?
- Asked by the same person.
- A lot of duplicated code.(no follow up cause it's other problem)
- Created same fault as in first topic.
- With the copying of the fault I'm asking myself, do he learn from the answers?
In mine opinion :
We want really want to help users and help them improve themselves.
This is possible if users also listen to us.
A user can't improve if they don't take valuable info to the next questions.
So if most code in a second question is copy paste from earlier question => it's duplicated code so duplicated faults and you get duplicated answers.
