| Dec 17, 2023 at 2:36 | comment | added | Jacob | I feel like this is true in most cases, but might not cover ALL scenarios. I've just had a suggested edit denied for converting a few lines of CSS from an image to text and directed here, but in that specific scenario this doesn't really apply IMO. Although it would have been better had the OP included the code as text, it doesn't mean another person (myself) can't do it as well. Perhaps we should be a bit more lenient with regards to this. | |

not code

| Mar 21, 2023 at 9:17 | comment | added | Thom A Mod | I'm sure of your point. If the question contains an image of code, then transcribing it is the wrong action; close/down voting and (if needed) education is the answer. It's up to the OP to paste the code into Stack Overflow; if they don't do that then yes, the question will likely be closed and probably later deleted (by Roomba). | |
| Mar 21, 2023 at 9:13 | comment | added | moken | Seems self correcting; If the image is transcribed the answers may not work but also may not be affected by the error. If it doesn't work the poster will mention that, then the reason is stated, "this is what's in your data, fix it if its incorrect" and we'll review. Most user's who do this are new and if they don't get a answer in 1 or 2 days or their question is closed, even when explained why, they are gone. Do we want to take advantage of the question and have it answered for others to make use of or just have it sit their gathering dust? | |

Ease of reading edit. Made punctuation regular.

| Jan 2, 2022 at 12:23 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | Yes, we should never ever give up. But I am pessimistic about the learning part. Most people don't want change or learn. Only an actual school setting (or the equivalent) that "forces" them to learn can change that. | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 12:22 | comment | added | Nick is tired | Who needs unicode @Zoe, what about people who mix tabs and spaces in python | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 12:21 | comment | added | Thom A Mod | Yeah, those are just a couple of examples, @Zoe , the list is (unfortunately) far larger. :( | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 12:17 | comment | added | Zoe - Save the data dump Mod | "Might not replicate original code (due to similar ASCII and Unicode characters)." -- not to forget about zero-width characters, and other fun unicode stuff | |
