Please ...". The point is exactly to convey that it is in the OP's interest to do it. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 19:56 | comment | added | manveti | @Trilarion I think the lengthy comments issue can be addressed by a larger menu of prefab comments and an easy way to select them. I'd be more inclined to comment helpfully on code dumps if I could just click "Prefab Comments" > "Example" > "Code Dump" to auto-insert a comment (written by someone more patient and eloquent than I am) suggesting the OP put more effort into minimizing their example code. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 19:39 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | It seems the proposed solution here would require much more lengthy comments. Not sure, enough people have the patience for it. I think you say it nicely in the second paragraph: "The problem is not sufficiently reproducible with the current amount of information in the question, or there is too much code to properly reproduce the problem in isolation. What we need ultimately is something like a meaningful example (link to mcve)." | |
