| Jan 6, 2019 at 3:49 | comment | added | user191954 | @ZeroTheHero Hmm I was under the impression that a lot of Meta Stack Exchange posts discourage the usage of the term because it's somewhat harsh; I used it after some hesitation. Here's a fun page about the term: slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires. Regarding the idea that this is displacing the problem and not solving it, I think that's based on the mindset of the owners/regulars of the problem-solving room; they'll clarify the circumstances under which moving messages is appropriate. | |
| Jan 5, 2019 at 22:51 | comment | added | user199113 | @ZeroTheHero We can't "close" messages in chat. All we can do is "delete" but I guess some users feel that's too harsh and can make the community seem hostile. Also, see ACM's answer for another perspective. | |
| Jan 5, 2019 at 22:49 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | @Blue delete/close the stuff as soon as possible. Send to this post: physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9369/… | |
| Jan 5, 2019 at 22:27 | comment | added | user199113 | @ZeroTheHero I sort of agree with you, but what do you suggest to solve the problem? (Let's remember that a rule which is not enforced is as good as no rule at all. If we do nothing at all against such messages, then we're back to square one --- new users will keep posting them. People don't seem to care about warnings much.) | |
| Jan 5, 2019 at 20:03 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | I like the word “help-vampire”... and I don’t agree with moving the homework question elsewhere: this is literally displacing the problem, not solving it. | |
