| Aug 7, 2015 at 15:31 | comment | added | Shog9 StaffMod | This principle applies pretty much any time someone has a high volume of mostly-useful contributions, @Mysticial, regardless of rep. See also the rules about self-promotion: folks tend to get far less upset if someone with lots of good answers throws a link to their blog in than they do when someone posts nothing but links to their site. Cheers & hth. | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 15:10 | comment | added | CodeCaster | @vaxquis those are the C# heroes, not C++ (at least not on SO). ;) Anyway I don't really want to rewrite my answer. I think it's really petty to want to either be allowed to add "Hope this helps" or otherwise leave the site, and I'm sure the guy who we're talking about here is mature enough to decide otherwise. | |

| Aug 7, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | Mysticial | I've heard from at least one moderator that when dealing with high-rep users, it's becomes a trade-off on whether it's "worth the hassle" to keep the user in exchange for all the users contributions. This means that there's inherent bias toward high-rep users and major contributors. I'm aware of at least one other major C++ contributor who has left SO after two suspensions over taglines. Sure the person didn't have a perfect personality, but I found his contributions very valuable and was sad to see him go. I would hate to see a repeat of that here. | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 14:54 | comment | added | user719662 | @CodeCaster if that's the case, may I kindly suggest a slight rewording of your answer, removing most of the irony, since otherwise a) it's hard to understand, b) it may receive erratic votes (as was a case with me). | |

| Aug 7, 2015 at 14:50 | comment | added | user719662 | now I'm puzzled... I can't figure where the irony starts and where it stops. | |
